When is enough, enough?

No matter, if you are a citizen or a police officer? These killings are not justified. Many families' lives are shattered. We need come to a common ground and find to live as nation of violence free. My prayers for all those who have been shot in Baton Rouge, St Paul and Dallas.

"Were justified for shooting that happened Tuesday and Wednesday", I was eat breakfast at a truck stop this morning when I heard this.

That common ground is equality. That common ground involves one group recognizing it's privilege, removing and paying back decades worth of oppressive policies, and admitting wrongdoing of said policies.

In large, the white man clearly has little interest in common ground. While that paradigm is shifting, we still aren't even close. Common ground? We have been patiently waiting with open arms.
