Shootings by police of citizens are up this year. Just google (Number of citizens shot by police the first six months of 2016). It is an eye opener. There has to be change on both sides.
Violence against the police has to stop. It proves to the rest of the world that maybe the police were right. Organize and use your vote. Put people in local office that can force changes for the better. Changes that the law will back up. If nothing else bring a law suit for wrong things happening. Violence has never and will never change anything.
Lets face one fact. If someone shoots at you, what are you going to do. Most likely shoot back. You will protect yourself. A policeman is no different.
