   The irony is that this guy and Liberals like him will get more blacks   
   killed than the police department could do if they really were racists.   
      
   The worst that can happen is for police to NOT care, attack the police   
   until they quit risking their personal lives to stop the real criminals.   
   At that point the one person the police won't shoot so as to avoid   
   prosecution by witch hunting Liberal Politicians and Media... will go on   
   to kill many many more blacks.  And as time passes it's the innocent   
   black community that pay the price for the militant #BlackLivesMatters   
   hate that is being whipped up. If the police get it wrong once in a   
   while, they do it in all communities.  But if they don't stop the bad   
   guys then the community is at the mercey of the bad guys.
