         The point was we are [rightly] upset and intolerant of           overly aggressive police tactics the rare times when it           happens to people like us.  We seemingly turn a blind eye when           it happens daily to people not like us, i.e., Blacks and           Latinos (and, increasingly, Muslim-looking people).

         

       	
     And that's my point ..... they're all like us.  We're the little     people.  Race, color, ethnic origin ..... it really makes no     difference.  We, individually, don't stand a chance of fighting the     tactics that the Kings encountered.  However, WE (the collective     WE), as the electorate, do stand a chance by fighting with our     vote.  But we're all in this together.  I'm afraid for my country     right now, and for my kids and grandkids in the future.

     Food for thought:  Stereotypes aren't invented.  Nobody sits up     nights thinking of a stereotype.  They stem from observations.

Just to get my 2 cents in.  It does not bother me a bit about this happening to the Kings.  The police thought it was a crime in progress and they took action.  I would rather that, then they not take it serious and end up dead on the ramp when somebody is really stealing something…….  

   

I have been jacked up before (in the Air Force) and although I did not like it, I thanked the cops when it was all over.  The things that go through your mind when you see the 18 year with an M-16 pointed at you.  

   

Now, back to the airplane…..going to try and balance the prop tonight….
