    I hadn't heard about this. Seems like a very sad and preventable tragedy. I'm sorry for the young man's family, and even though I don't condone the violent riot, I can understand the people's frustration. Police are supposed to be the good guys, but like many other "good guy" professions like teaching, medicine and the clergy- it's not always the case. I hope the investigation is honest and justice is served.

    BTW, I respect police officers soooooo much. I teach and get drunk on power sometimes. If I had a badge, a gun, and a billy club- I'd be he*l on wheels I'm afraid.

    Crash is a very thought provoking movie. I think I would like to rent it again, it seemed like a movie that should be revisited.

    The whole situation is a mess, sounds like the cop was wrong but then again who knows since he seems to be avoiding questioning. Still violent protests never accomplish anything other than more senseless violence.

    MP did you make it out okay?

    Just got home. They were closing down buildings toward the city center area as apparently things were starting up again around 3. I got out of dodge. I hope it is a better night.
