They were ready to r**t long before the grand jury came with its verdict! This is another excuse for the thugs to pretend they care about black or any lives but their own. Notice that the protests against police brutality, and I know that sometimes the police overstep-are always making heroes of thugs, ne'er do wells, criminals with a record as long as your arm, and usually not for spitting on the sidewalk, but for crimes that hurt other people badly-assault, burglary, drug dealing, to name a few. I would much prefer that they start looking at REAL heroes to emulate and honor-not the politicians who died or any of that ilk, but Ira Hayes, Dr Martin Luther King, jr.-he must be spinning in his grave, for as much as he decried violence. Learn from them, and try to change the system using their tactics-the people like Lewis and his ilk may be fine, but history has not judged whether they actually were or not-there are plenty of people of color who are truly great. Harriet Tubman, comes to mind. Study your history if you cannot think of anyone worthy of your respet. But the people they are r**ting for???? Wow. Sorry, but if you think these people are heroes, you are as ignorant as they, and as much of scofflaws as they as well.
