The cop made the right call; after all, that kid might've been packing Skittles!

2. I have been reading

about this story all day and we don't know all the details yet about how this went down. For today, the real news for me is all the racist comments that are filling the comment sections on this shooting. About 95% of the comments are racist and how this kid had it coming to him primarily because he is black. It is a very disturbing read.

3. Islamophobia

and racism toward African Americans are melding into one. The Marshall in the video introduced the word "combat" and that's all I had to hear. I'm so tired of this shit.

Madison was in the heat of the Vietnam protests, they had some nasty riot back then, those times could come back.

I was glad to see that the protesters were different colors.

I used to live in Madison, it was a really cool and fun place back in the late 70s and early 80s. Not so sure I'd be willing to live there again.

4. The cop felt threatened: a common theme when deadly force is used but deadly force is not required

We're finding that it doesn't take much for some cops to feel threatened.
