ReplyDeleteSo much heartbreak.

ReplyDeleteCertainly, it is disappointing to see the grand jury to refuse to grant an indictment when indictments can come so easily. Also, there is no excuse for police excessive force. I disagree with harming innocent property, but I do believe that we have to look at the underlining causes of a riot not just condemning unjust violence.

ReplyDeleteDisappointment, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThere is a prayer rally at the city police department. I wish i had know i would have participated. I will continue to pray in my meditation time.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet more sadness and tragedy in Cleveland 12 year old Timir Rice gunned down by police he had a toy gun.
ReplyDeleteThere will probably continue to vigils and actions in the coming weeks. Or consider leading something within your own community.
ReplyDeleteAnother awful awful story. Children, with toy guns, in an open carry state no less.
