It's overwhelming at times. <br /><br />The entire sad story will read differently after the feds investigate. <br /><br />And the officer maintains it was not a chock hold... but how would a jury see that also..<br /><br />And on the heels of the NY disaster, the officer who killed the 12 year old, should not have been allowed to be on the force to begin with.. Thank God Cleveland and it's officials agree to have the feds take over and weed out the bad cops and re-train the good cops. <br /><br />Peaceful protests in Boston is music to my ears. While violence makes for good train wreck journalism, it doesn't sway change the minds of those who can help. jim pillsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372814672050316477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517736040315331529.post-31742352028299198592014-12-04T23:40:39.696-05:002014-12-04T23:40:39.696-05:00Here in Stoneham, Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan...Here in Stoneham, Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan's brother was sentenced to jail for his father's death. Prosecutors said Kerrigan caused his father's death while in a drunken rage on Jan. 24, 2010. They said he put his hands around 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan's neck with such force that he broke cartilage in his larynx and triggered his heart failure. Did the medical examiner in NYC not come to the same conclusion?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517736040315331529.post-45773653895944680712014-12-03T17:07:45.971-05:002014-12-03T17:07:45.971-05:00That case seemed more clear to me because of the v...That case seemed more clear to me because of the video, but I can't see no indictment at all.<br /><br />Up next is the 12 year who was killed with a fake gun<br /><br />NY could burn... there's lots of racial resentment there, much of which has been captured on video. I believe NY has just paid record amounts of tax dollars settling excessive force cases brought against NYPD. <br /><br />I hope for all of our sakes... cooler heads prevail.jim pillsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372814672050316477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517736040315331529.post-32389313269449121292014-12-03T15:50:28.627-05:002014-12-03T15:50:28.627-05:00What do you think about the decision in New York t...What do you think about the decision in New York to not indicte the cop in the choke hold incident?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517736040315331529.post-18199002430035381352014-11-30T11:31:21.082-05:002014-11-30T11:31:21.082-05:00Officer Brown has resigned,

"deescalation"<br /><br />And it appears in this case, Officer Brown could have had more training on how to deescalate a situation. But that comes from the top cops and in a Town that has mostly white police officers in a mostly black community, the will to back away to solve a problem may not be there.<br /><br />Look for law enforcement from around the country to adopt the new philosophy. It certainly might have averted this latest disaster, but may never broach the subject of long held racial bias toward the black community from law enforcement. .jim pillsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372814672050316477noreply@blogger.com
