Take the color out of it and get down to preventing police brutality.
I don't object to anybody exercising their Constitutional rights to protest against what they view as a violation of their civil or legal rights, regardless of race or media coverage. I do have a problem with unwarranted police brutality.
I'd just as easily understand people protesting the fact that Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians...don't protest more often as I do people protesting that black people protest too much, whether I agree with either point of criticism or not.
Anyway, I don't have a problem reading and listening to what you think makes sense, nor with comprehending it. That hasn't changed. And, it's not news to me that white on black crime gets a lot of media coverage. Where we differ is that I just don't have a problem with protests, asking questions, and speculation labeled as such -- inside or outside of an internet forum discussion & debate thread. I think it's healthy and interesting.
