KALIEF BROWDER, MCKINNEY SWIMMING POOL, TAMIR RICE & wACO BIKERS---ALL CIVIL RIGHTS CONCERNS

The suicide death of the young man--Kalief Browder---who was held for 3 years without trial at Riker's Island for a minor offense, the incident at the swimming pool in McKinney, Texas, the decision of community leaders in Cleveland to seek to bypass the Cuyahoga County prosecutor regarding the death of Tamir Rice and the police shooting of the bikers in Waco are all civil rights and essential American justice concerns.

When people in authority use their power to do bad things to people or to kill people, we've got to be certain that such power has been used according to our lows and according to fairness.

There is just reason at all to believe that the bikers in Waco were shot and killed for good reason until it has been proved that such was really the case. Where are the videos of the shootout? If it was a shootout between police and the bikers, then why were no police hurt?  

It's not okay to shoot people because they are unpleasant or not popular. It is somebody else today. It'll be you tomorrow.

All lives are of equal value.

I agree with your statements and the theory that government oversteps it's bounds and needs to be watched closely. I really wonder about a couple of the examples, mostly because I don't feel like I have enough information to understand what happened.

The Tamir Rice thing seems more like bad choices than a failure of police procedure- my understanding is that the orange neon cap that identifies the gun as a toy had been removed. If that understanding is correct, then the police officers actions are regrettable, but understanding and consistent with training.

I just heard about the Browder thing yesterday, so I'm not certain what to say on that subject- I don't have enough information to have an opinion; but it doesn't sound very good and I'm inclined to agree with you.

The McKinney thing is also too recent to be certain on. I'm already seeing posts on social media that challenge the narrative presented by the mainstream media in the edited video. So I'm inclined to believe there is more to find out than we currently know before rendering judgement.

I've heard very mixed things about the Waco-Biker incident and I am finding the entire thing baffling at present. The two pictures are so dissimilar that I can't seem to connect them. I'm leaning in the direction that this was an abuse of power event, but I'm really not certain of yet.
