Yes, I am disturbed by the Staten Island case, and a general term of aggressive policing (police brutality has become a cliche). I think its far more feasible to look at changing police operations than a generic issue of racism, and not just one color is harmed. But PLEASE, some of the activists. Get together proposals. Create a website; set up a contact for the media. Put the URL on signs. Raising awareness isnt enough; indignation is not policy. Starting point: involve the Feds about abuse of power under color of authority justice.gov/crt/about/crm/242fin.php Contact state legislators about review mechanisms outside the localities where the problem occurs, and refer any accusation of police abuse to them. Theres a white retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, whose blond, blue-eyed son was killed, who calls for the equivalent of military aircraft incident reviews, automatically. Incidentally, given that one predictor of serial killers is animal abuse, Id refer cases where officers shot pets. PLEASE work on your communication, rather than just annoying drivers.
