By now you may have heard of the latest police shooting of a black teen in Missouri:

My wife grew up in a town next to Ferguson, Missouri. She lived in the general vicinity until the late 90s.
From what we have seen, that area of Missouri is policed by the Gestapo. Maybe that's a reflection of the number of Germans in the area, perhaps not. But I definitely got the impression that you do not want to mess with the police there, any more than you'd want to mess with the police or sheriffs in Houston, Texas, where they tase and hogtie you until you're dead for arguing with them.
I cannot speak to the facts of this case, but it's clear that this teen did not have to die. And I am very suspicious of the claim that he tried to take away the officer's weapon. Would any reasonable person do that? Would you do that?
And where is our great President? Helping to calm the flames? Hell, no. He can't be bothered; he's taking another lavish vacation at our expense.
America, you are totally screwed. You just don't know how badly yet.
