A College professer acting like an anarchist carrying plastic covered hammers to a protest....

That's why these men died.

It's unfortunate, and tragic, but violence and injustice leads to violence and injustice.

7. Killing police officers escalates the tension in the community.

It is just as unwarranted and wrong as the unwarranted, wrongful killings of civilians by police.

Stop the violence on all sides.

We are all human. We all need each other.

Let's spread awareness and understanding, not violence.

It's time for the media to do their job and investigate these officers records to see if they were so innocent. If they were then this is an unjust murder if not then someone was getting payback...

11. My Warning to Police everywhere has been consistent. on all forms of social media.

Officers, PLEASE think about what you are doing. PLEASE Think about the repercussions of you actions. AS things have only been getting worse, most of us will respond in an angry BUT orderly manner. (Peaceful Protest) if you do not listen, If you only mock us, if you react violently, I will not be held responsible for the actions of the ones who crack first. Because out of anger they will hurt anyone in a Magic suit, Guilty or not. I will not feel responsible for their actions in the least.
Because your actions are Like that of a child standing in front of a hot stove, When I say to that Child, "Don't touch it or else you will get burned!" and the child reaches out despite the warning and touches it, I will dress the wounds, (If any) but their is no pity. they didn't listen.

In Other words, Those who make peaceful protest impossible will make Violent revolution, (or in this situation) Uprising probable.
