Police State

State cop in Ferguson says the smartest thing I've heard about the situation.

"“This is not a black and white issue,” he said. “We all have sons and daughters. We all have to communicate better.”"

Police power and the inevitable abuse of it is everybody's problem.

400 times a year, police kill somebody. Only 96 of those are white cops killing blacks. This proves the problem isn't race.

"While the racial analysis is striking, the database it's based on has been long considered flawed and largely incomplete. The killings are self-reported by law enforcement and not all police departments participate so the database undercounts the actual number of deaths. Plus, the numbers are not audited after they are submitted to the FBI and the statistics on "justifiable" homicides have conflicted with independent measures of fatalities at the hands of police."

Of course they want to hide the real, higher numbers.
