I rarely speak on politics/religon etc. but as a 40 year old African-American male this senseless killings of’ve these young black males has too STOP!!!!! Why is it nearly always black males are the ones’ killed by OPD???WHY?I know some things in life are a given..’so is said’? Just reading both sides of the arguments gave me all the evidence I needed to believe the OPD has a ‘shoot first’ mentality when it comes to young black males!!!! Those who still ‘dont believe these allegations’….What else do you need?Just like Rodney King ..the ‘white’ majority in America couldn’t believe what Blacks from East coast to the West coast where complaining about for decades!!! So give it time I say…when a group of people or people in general ‘really’ believe in something it takes at least 10 years to begin the change we as African-Americans have sought since we where brought here on Slave ships…Thank you
