Polls Find One Year After Ferguson Shooting, Race Relations Are Deteriorating
By Ray Jablonski,, Aug 09, 2015 Cleveland
Outrage over the incident led to violent protests in Ferguson and nationwide. Similar shootings in other parts of the country – including the Tamir Rice shooting in Cleveland – have further inflamed the black community and, according to several polls, have set the nation back in terms of race relations and racial equality.
But the shootings have also spawned the "Black Lives Matter" movement and have seemed to spark the needed dialogue that can vastly improve relations between blacks and whites.

ReplyDeleteThere are two essential elements here.
Law abiding citizens genuinely upset and deeply concerned over the deaths of youths in their community
AND
Those of the criminal element and their women,friends support base.
As such telling them apart is really quite simple and reliable.
Those law abiding citizens are those who reluctantly and measurably challenge police authority knowing they are mostly a force of good in the community and want only rational answers and fair reasonable accountability.
Being respecters' of the rule of law they are also supporters and respecters' of those charged to enforce it against those law breakers at variance to the rule of law.
Which brings me to the other element;
The law breakers and their support base.
These are they which revile the police because they are the obstacle to their unlawful activity, and revel in any opportunity to castigate,undermine and marginalize the influence and effectiveness of not just a selected individual(s) within the ranks of law enforcement but seek the wholesale dismantling of the very institution of law enforcement to better their ability to make subjugation of the populace to their insatiable avarice thirst not just for possessions but for power over life and death of their fellowman.
These then are those who not in respectful reluctance asking for accountability as law abider's but rioters and looters who by arson,and riotous merriment challenge authorities to further their true aims of rape,murder and robbery unabated by fear of capture and judgement.
These then are they who behind the mantra of cries for justice seek the overthrow of that very self same system of justice that successfully has forced them as the law breakers to be accountable for their actions.
What then say's this of our President who at every turn fans the flames of these rioters with encouraging words of empathy, selective rationales, coddling the very lawlessness it reports of itself as seeking to vanquish ?
This then is the villain, the true menace to cultured law abiding society whatever age or continent the inhabitants thereof find themselves thrust into by birthright or circumstance.
THE LOVE OF A LIE RATHER THAN THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH.
2Th 2:9-12
*Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
*And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
*And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
*That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
