[quote=Anonymous]If you have been on the other side of police shootings, you may not be as empathetic to the Dallas shootings. Even since Dallas, there have been 5 unarmed/ questionable shootings. Akai Gurley was an innocent killed by an over aggressive rookie cop. Why is the life of black innocent or guilty suspects less valuable than a police officers? I get her anger.

To her credit, she posted the video to show how conflicted she was. She's admittedly not proud of or happy about her feelings. She also doesn't condone violence. She is working through her issue which she has self identified. She deserves some credit as she showed courage being openly honest about her feelings. This is the first step in personal transformation. Imagine how powerful it would be if people did this.

The crux of the issue we have with blacks regarding LE, and really all other issues such as education, income inequality, etc., is that many people ultimately believe, whether they admit it internally or not, that black people, or most black people, have a culture problem. Others believe they have lower IQs and are just inherently lower functioning people. And these "facts" are the reason why they statistically are not doing as well as others. They see these views as not being P.C. instead for what they actually are: misinformed at best, overtly racist at worst. It's okay to feel this way, but if you understand what the feelings are, only then can you begin to address them.[/quote]
