White people riot and destroy property because

their sports team won some sporting event.

Black people riot because the system is geared to target and oppress them as second class citizens.

The same system that is being touted by the governor and Mayor as the best solution to find answers in Mr Greys death at the hands of his oppressors.

It didn't work before:

Over the past four years, more than 100 people have won court judgments or settlements related to allegations of brutality and civil rights violations. Victims include a 15-year-old boy riding a dirt bike, a 26-year-old pregnant accountant who had witnessed a beating, a 50-year-old woman selling church raffle tickets, a 65-year-old church deacon rolling a cigarette and an 87-year-old grandmother aiding her wounded grandson ....

And in almost every case, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the victims—if charges were filed at all. In an incident that drew headlines recently, charges against a South Baltimore man were dropped after a video showed an officer repeatedly punching him—a beating that led the police commissioner to say he was “shocked.”

police are allowed to get away with murder...and blame the victim. Watched a video on TED and one of the things that struck me was that when a white person sees a policeman, they are reassured. When a black person sees a policeman they have fear for their lives. Also, he talked about how to talk to your black son. It broke my heart, but there are way more white people like me than those who are bigoted.

We need to take responsibility any way we can to end the Civil War for real...because it's still being fought...just a different battlefield.
