And lets be clear, there are plenty of white writers on this sight, who have belittled law enforcement at all levels.    Isn't it interesting to see them blame the actions of black people as the cause of death by the police.

This is not just a race issue although it's plain that racism from all sides is stiring a lot of emotions.   On this site, with very few black writers (do we have any regulars?), the mistrust of authority, or, the perceieved incompetance of authority, seems to justify picking up a weapon and killing without police or trial.   

Americans need to address the age old questions of crime and punishment.   Race baiting is going to make that very difficult, from all skin colors, (this is not just the responsibility of one race.)

There is no excuse for the murder of the policemen in Dallas, none.    We can try to understand the crime, we can not allow ourselves to forgive it.
