American Police Brutality

On one hand, I think something like this was bound to happen eventually. These tensions have gone on far too long, with too many bad cops going unpunished and too many innocent people getting shot.

On the other hand, five probably uninvolved people are dead, and as a result I think we can expect retribution etc. from the cops. They're certainly going to be on edge for a long time now, and imo that really only exasterbates the problem.

The root problem, whatever that may be, still hasn't been dealt with, and until it is I'm really afraid of the direction that things will go from here.
