I don't know exactly what happened to Gray in that van, but I do know the other instances where the black men were killed, 1 tried to take an officer's gun and the other, the choking victim, had a history of resisting arrest and was also one big motherf*#*er. I watched the video of that particular man's arrest several times and I cannot fathom how the officers could have used excessive force. From my perspective, the "victims" were the cause of their own demise.
That said, those who feel as though they've been screwed over by society are taking this opportunity to loot, destroy, and harm others. Their excuse: Cops are too uppity!
I have yet to see any evidence that those cops were abusing their authority. So far, the cops were not indicted for either instance. And yet, other cops are now being shot at and executed by these looters and criminals. And what's truly scary is that people are saying it's "justified"! That it's necessary to encourage "change".
Sorry, but "change" to the point where it's okay to kill a cop if you feel as though he/she is abusing their authority isn't the "change" we should want.
