Thousands March In The States Tonight....

[trt]

about the shooting of 2 blacks.

I'm watching Fox & CNN channels, and its peaceful at the moment.

Watched one Video, and it certainly looked like the cop shot the bloke at close range while he was on top of him on the ground.

Nice to know you're concerned about the fate of the "blacks" trt.

## Nice to know you're concerned about the fate of the "blacks" trt. ##

I never posted I was concerned, or not concerned, I was just posting a news item in the States, AP.

[david small]

Of course people are concerned about the treatment of blacks, Browns, yellow, pink. Fellow human beings, all.

[Old_Geezer]

There certainly seems cause for concern. There needs to be a complete drains up on what's going on, and if failure to uphold the law found, priority action to get it changed.

until gun reform this will continue...

[mikey4444]

When are the bloody American police gong to realise that its not the old Wild West these days. How many more black Americans are they going to slaughter before they realise ?

I am with Obama here...this isn't just a Black issue...its an American issue.

Is it any wonder that there is now wide-spread rioting?

[david small]

Perhaps if they recruited a better quality of police officers, and training was more stringent re public responsibility and response to protect and to serve.

[murraymints]

guns have to go !

so why state how many more blacks, and not how many more people then ?

[Gromit]

Baz,
The victims (mostly) are blacks. But that does not make it a black only issue. It should be something the whole community, white, yellow, brown, black need to solve.

[Baldric]

///guns have to go !///

A laudable idea.
Everyone holding a gun legally hands it in to be destroyed.
How do you then deal with the less than honest Armed Robber, Hi-jacker, Terrorist etc who ignored the Polite Request to disarm, maybe ask them nicely to stop shooting people?

Baz,

Do you just say what ever jumps into your mind as you are posting Gromit?

[ummmm]

That's what's being reported.

[-SharonA-]

It is the trigger happy cops!!!

[-Talbot-]

Who was that for, ummmm?

[ummmm]

You, Talbot, so far from what I've watched it's been mentioned over and over again.

[-Talbot-]

Well it is simply not true.

[Baldric]

Got a link please Talbot?

[-Talbot-]

There is plenty of information (no thanks to the the US government) about.

//Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian.//

I'm sure Gromit can tell us how many were black.
