I truly don’t understand mob mentality. I believe it is 100% wrong that the officers involved in the death should have been arrested on the scene. That would have been the proper thing to do. The police department made a poor decision.
The looting and riot were not about the death of a citizen. It was simply lawless greed. Stealing a television in no way helps the family of the man who was killed. It doesn’t teach our children about justice. I am just as angry at those people who ruined the livelihood of others as the men who took the lives. The fires and lawlessness took the focus off of the officers and put the shame on lawless citizens.
Will people never learn?
You are right rioting solves nothing and makes things worse.
I serves no purpose and destroys their own community.
Unfortunately I watched the entire 10-minute video and I cannot unsee what happened. They should all four be charged with murder. Just my opinion.
Carol DM,
I agree with you 100%. I believe they should be charged and tried. I don’t think burning the city down and turnint into theiving thugs helps those charges get done.
I think the riots are uncalled for as well, they have nothing to do with the murder. That is another issue. And it needs to be stopped.
i think honestly that situation is at best bad.
Charge the officers and arrest the rioters who did unlawful things. Two wrongs never make a right.
this is very true, it just makes me sad.
