As important as this thread is, and it is very important, I feel physically sick when I log on and see that yet another person has been killed. This time, "supposedly shot in the head execution style", and possible in handcuffs! WTF! I have a whole rant inside of me regarding this, but I will save you all the read, because I am much to pissed to type it out!
Do you know> From Jan 1 2015 to Nov 16th that 1038 people have been killed by the police in the US?
Do you wonder why we don't hear about all of them?
