5. If Ferrell hadn't been who he was, wonder how this story

would have unfolded in the city? Might have been a tiny blurb about it in the paper... And the autopsy could have been fudged to protect the officer. They can't do that with this man. This time the cops stepped into it. And so soon on the heals of Trayvon Martin... It will become a case the media could become obsessed about and could stir up a hornets nest of hate and sides being drawn.

The way to approach this would be to let justice hopefully prevail for once. And for the community to insist upon re-training for its police officers to be citizen's protection, regardless of color or any "differences".

There's a darkness that has overtaken NC. It oringinates from past, fear, hate, and current economic well being. The people elected theirselves a suicide pact when they let teabagger's into office. Just look at the crazy stuff they have done to since gaining office. The lies and the money dropped into the election races has exacerbated the issues. And instead of seeing crazy for what it is, they have doubled down on it... Hope they can all wake up before it's too late.
