Some of you may have read about the shooting I posted in general non-mustang thread. Thought this comment would be better here...
I was thinking today, thank God the guy the cops shot and killed was a white guy. Russellville is a small town, about 8,000 people. Probably at least half is black. If the cops shot and killed a black guy, the town would have been burnt down, groups from all over would be on there way here to "protest" i.e. loot and trash anything that was left. Doesn't matter he was shooting his GF and had just got out of jail for breaking in her house and threatening to shoot her, but since he was white, no body got excited. There has been some cop bashing posts on FB and small chatter but nothing crazy. Most understand the cops did what they had to do.
I am not racist and have a few friends in town that are black and black students we have been involved with for band that I really enjoy working with but recently the school had a pep rally that turned into "Black Lives Matter" and school had to go on lock down. Racial tension is higher than it's ever been since I have been alive. And this hatred towards cops is really pretty scary.
