Good toon! In spite of media and politically inspired exaggeration the world is becoming a better safer place.I do wish there was radius beyond which local news had to be delayed and completely vetted before it was broadcast, so that people don’t think it’s the Apocalypse and it’s just down the street from where they live.
Sorry but this comic is ridiculous. Cops only seem to show remorse (and anger) when it’s one of their own. They do nothing but find excuses when Blacks are blatantly murdered by other police. While I do not condone violence against law enforcement, I certainly understand how an oppressed person can become unhinged by the callous and racist behavior exhibited, not by a few rotten apples, but by a system of policing that targets people of color. Until this changes, don’t expect to be comforted by the people that you have turned into targets and yes, you can expect more chickens coming home to roost because of it. I strongly urge all police to reevaluate what they are doing and stop the violence. Its entirely up to them.
The vast majority of police retire, never having fired their weapons outside of range qualifying and training. That yes, some training now focuses on reliance on more use, isn’t good, but is a response to the climate created out there by the massive increase in firearms on the street compared to the 1960’s era, when mass capacity killing weapons were maintained in the military, not on Main Street.

Well put. Now if the 95+% good cops would get rid of their stinking Mafiosi omerta, we might get somewhere.

We need more of this BEFORE the next shooting. There is so much good in both communities. We can’t keep letting race, guns and money divide us.

Oh come off it. If the black community got rid of their own criminals, you would be screaming “Black on Black Crime!” “Violent and Dangerous!” etc….
