Where is the justice and equality?

First let me say upfront I AM NOT a racist and hope no one will jump to that conclusion, please. Today I saw where another police officer was shot in the head an now fighting for his life. I would like to know if my math is correct......in the last 5 months we have had 3 minority persons die at the hands of police and in each case protest, riots, looting etc. have occurred, this is the fifth police officer wounded or killed, yet no protest, no riots, looting etc. What is wrong with this picture?

The media is the BIGGEST instigator of all these issues...none of them report the news, but promote racism. They are pathetic!

I think it boils down to common sense, because law biding citizens know the difference between right and wrong. Law biding citizens do not roit and destroy thier neighborhoods, because they use common sense. Another way to look at this issue is when a natural disaster happens in our country you can tell the ones that the community bands together and takes care of itself and the ones that instantly cry for help. Our government has taught society one thing over the past few years and it is that they can do what they want and someone will make an excuse for it and it is ok.

Because and don't get me wrong as I feel the police are getting a raw deal and everyone needs to step back and reevaluate the whole situation. I am not saying that all cops are innocent but there is always three sides to every story your side my side and the truth. The fact that this officer's life is not important enough to make national news makes my blood boil. People want to make this a race issue. I don't think it's a race issue but an issue of people disrespecting the law getting caught and then causing problems like being mouthy with the cops which leads to arrests and other issues. I will now get off my soap box

I agree, funny how when a minority gets arrested or injured during an arrest, they cry racism.

Minority Leaders never question the black on black violence, which is pandemic amongst their communities. Secondly, there's no parental/generational community guidance amongst their families.
