The world isn't (no pun intended) as black and white as people think it is. We're not living in some kid's cartoon. The "good guys" and "bad guys" aren't easy to tell apart...

That is true. The community, at this point, should stop people like this for the sake of the community. Yelling at those officers might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard, unless they are intentionally trying to start a war. I can't imagine that because it would be a war that they cannot win. The police are people too and trust me when I say that they have been pushed well passed their breaking point. If you aren't buying them a cup of coffee in NYC, even supporters should steer clear of working cops for the time being. They need their space.

I think that some people have depersonalized death due to the media, video games, etc, in general and thus can't empathize with the cops and how they are feeling in the full context of everything that has happened. Cops will feel the full impact of these deaths. This detachment (less politely: sociopathy) is a shame for those people who yell at them, as they are ruining police-community relations for a very long time. Possibly decades. The dead cops were peacefully doing their jobs for the community; Garner and Brown full participated in their own deaths, right or wrong.

White fear?

This Tea Party crowd seems quite comfortable with this armed black man.

A few years back a bunch of black panthers walked down a major street in downtown Houston carrying rifles and there were no cuffs......and there would be no cuffs today...

I had no idea there was a black panther sect, in Houston.
Good to know, Texas is open to civil unrest, with weapons as a deterrent to law enforcement.

Now if we could just get them to join, open carry Texas.

I was being more specific, than a one man war.
Damn, you are right. All Law enforcement has a target on their back from all angles.
I'd hate to be the bully cop, in todays atmosphere.

I just saw a 22 year old white boy set multiple fires in a local community that killed two white people, First Degree Murder in NC. I just don't buy racism being the root cause of most of the senseless violence in the country, maybe an excuse but not the root cause.

That is why observation and situational awareness are key. Too many people walk around aimlessly believing they are safe with their heads buried in their iphones.
