Perhaps i am looking at this differently than most of you...
But it seems to me that we are all being led down a path to make this about race, and how different races have different values.
When in point of fact we really should be looking at this and saying, "Are we okay that it's becoming the "norm" for deadly force to be used"
I think the retired Lt. Colonel Michael Bell may have the best solution, he spearheaded a campaign to mandate INDEPENDENT oversight of police departments, he did this when his white son was shot dead by a police officer, in a case of probable police misconduct.
His point of contention was that, police dept's throughout the US operate with only internal oversight of officer conduct. He pushed to create independent oversight of all police involved shootings.
I am not thoroughly read up on him, and am not sure of his standing in regards to other issues,...... But on this issue, he is making sense to me.
Please read up on him here,

If someone here knows more info about him and what he is pushing for please do share.
Sadly though, the overwhelming majority of American's... (of all colors) continue to participate in the media circle-jerk of.............
