once again, the incident in cleveland will be attributed to some kind of technical glitch or operator error and dismissed as if nothing can be done about this kind of situation. in reality, the problem is the fact that american police routinely resort to the use of deadly force in almost every circumstance when it could be avoided if they were trained differently. this does not happen in many other countries. it IS about race because there is an inherent fear of black boys and men which is pervasive in the culture and particularly amongst police. but its also about the fact that police are never held accountable for their actions in these circumstances. and it will continue unless americans can grow out of their adolescent worship of guns and violence. AND this is happening after the feds had already begun investigating the cleveland police department on charges of misuse of deadly force. cleveland/metro/index.ssf/2014/11/tamir_rice_12-year-old_boy_sho.html
