Tulsa shootings: Police chief warns man who shot 5 black men: 'We're coming for you'

7. Good on Him...lesson learned from Sanford

Also, Tulsa is a rather cosmopolitan city...as the Midwest goes.

I'm going to act as if the Martin case is the Tipping Point ... kind of like the 100th Monkey. Regardless of the public remonstrations of the conservatives and rickety old power bosses, rural white police forces, urban good ol' boys, they are starting to wane due to the internet, social media, cell phones, the younger generation, waning at the speed of information...especially through social media. Many older folk aren't used to this, but it's happening.

I think Twitter/Facebook et al will go down in history as one of the, if not greatest social system influences up to this time...even more so than the internet and maybe even the computer, although arguably built on that platform. To have the power to text your opinion to most any head of power while s/he sits in some meeting, in the halls of power, or eats or whatever and instantly equip your own network with the same information, is beyond amazing.

The heck with writing letters and leaving messages for secretaries to screen or on answering machines. The rules are changing.

Tulsa will not be another Sanford, pretty certain.
