I cannot grasp or fathom how we white people can now be lecturing and wagging the finger with the anger and disrespect protester are feeling. Why wouldn't they not give a shit? It has happened over and over and over and over.

Mothers afraid every day of their lives when their young sons, 12 yrs old are in a park playing with a toy gun. How we allowed that to just disappear, without revenge. Gunned down in 12 sec.

Always obey your police officer - not a millisecond too slow or too fast - and accept your fate quietly

Didn't know about the protests until this morning. I'll catch the Joe Madison replay this afternoon when they load it on Sirius.

Also - don't know who is doing this at du - but Stevie Wonder sang it well more than 50 years ago . . .

"Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day,
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away.
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl,"
