Its making national news. Don’t know the real story, but apparently cop killed unarmed kid (just graduated high school) yesterday in my town. I just returned from FL today, and hundreds of protesters are outside the local PD, street is blocked. Witnesses have one story, cops have another story. County police investigating. Middle daughter (my troubled daughter) knew kid casually from other friends. These cop brutality stories are getting worse by the day. the dead kid was black. They left this poor kid dead in the street for 4 fucking hours. He was set to start trade school this week. My town is diverse, but blacks are probably in the majority here. Not that that matters, but it doesn’t help race relations. Race relations here have always been pretty good, so far the protests have been peaceful, but now Sharpton is weighing in. WTF is happening in this country? The CA cop beating the shit out of that lady on the side of the highway, the NY cop strangleholding that guy a few months ago. I’m sure there’s stories about my town’s case on the ***, but I just got home from a 17 hour drive and I’m beat. Just disgusted, sad and needed to vent. I live in Missouri if you’re wondering. DEPRESSED!
