6. That just breaks my heart.

Just looking at the sweet little face on that young boy and the cruel and senseless way his life was taken away from him too soon.

And then to compare that incident to these two deranged, drunken, over-privileged, racist, gun-humpers who deserve to be hauled in by the police and charged with reckless endangerment, but who instead don't even get a slap on the wrist, is just an outrage.

Sometimes I feel like I am living in a bad dream that I can't wake up from.

7. Tamir Rice is the death that tossed me off my white liberal complacency

After Trayvon Martin, I was outraged. But the video of those cops shooting down a beautiful little boy playing in a park with a toy gun? In 2 seconds? And they faced no consequences?

I hate to use the term "woke." But that woke me up.

9. Same for me

It was a police drive-by. They'd hardly stopped the car before they shot that little boy.

13. Good for both of you.

Sadly you are a small couple of drops in an ocean of unrecognized, unadmitted white privilege which gets more nauseating daily. With that many out there who don't have a shadow of a hint of a clue, you are not out of line to take some pride in having seen it.

11. Freaking Right !!!

Why is the Swat team not camped out around their house waiting for darkness so they could execute a NO KNOCK warrant shoot out on them!!!!

12. Tamir Rice

is his name. I am still enraged by his murder/execution. Police executioner shot young 11-year-old Tamir within 1.2 seconds of arriving on the scene. yet these two white supremacists can actually point their weapons at an unarmed human being in a threatening manner and are heroes to the white supremacist POTUS. I have never felt so uncomfortable as an american as I have been for these last 3+years and that feeling of something evil brewing with the Ivanka and Limbaugh clones out there is growing.

15. What's worse is that couple has some defenders here on DU

Based on what the protesters "might" do.
