1. Ray is a passionate man

And that is an awesome message.

2. Uh Ray...

You escaped by the skin of your teeth from going to jail when your gang killed a guy in cold blood.

Your moral authority isn't too solid in mho.

3. Or it allows him to say "I was involved in bad stuff when I was young and I moved beyond it."

4. Ray Lewis has dished it out and taken it

I think he's a serious human being who's well worth listening to.

5. He has lived life from many different sides.

One thing that never can change is the color of his skin. He truly tries to be a deep thinker and has become a better person for it. I feel he is worth listening to especially since he has lived such a diverse life.

7. Yeah bad stuff---

like murder.

6. I think I must have missed the Message To The Six Officers. Surely someone noticed that a kid went

from riding his bicycle to 3 breaks in the spine within what, a few minutes, and No One Knows What Happened Yet? Well we Saw him go in (being stuffed and thrown in and legs not functioning) and we Saw him on life support. And then He Died. No one gave a shit until the riots broke out.

Hey look over there at the (scary, black) thugs!!!!

PS...anger and blame at the kids is an adult action? No. IDC if it was President Obama...No. The adults were unable to do anything about the police. And the kids are to blame that they are getting shot, beaten up, ticketed, taken to jail, abused all the way from street to jail, and abused in jail? No. No. It's all coming out now. Called a "hard ride". Now isn't that a euphimism for the day...Like Operation Freedom in Iraq. How many of those kids had either had or knew someone who had a "hard ride", or knocked around, and no one cared.

Surveillance and cell phone cameras. Film every minute of any encounter....stream it.

8. One more note: We did not peacefully gain independence in America, we did not peacefully displace

the indigenous peoples, we did not peacefully become Policeman of the World. We did not get Civil Rights peacefully. We still don't have Civil Rights for minorities. Yes, some things have changed. The white supremesists have gone underground showing a thin veneer of tolerance, it doesn't take much to rip that veneer and show the ugly underbelly of white dominance and minority servility by any means possible.

Some are still forced to fight the Civil War...the battlefield has just moved.
