BTW, that number completely ignores the times in which it is justified.

What is the solution to the "problem"? Seriously, a real solution, not blame, not memes, not deflection... what is the proposed solution?

I want a real answer from some of the liberals here.

Any takers?

I wasn't on this train before but Obama's leadership and cavalier attitude towards race have brought this country to an all time low in that regard.

It is, in fact, his legacy.

You can't be this dumb, no way!

It's almost comical if it weren't true. They just can't see how their action played any part in it.

I disagree. I saw nothing in my posts last night, save for comments directed towards dawg, that indicated I "flew off the handle".

Forgive me if I got you mixed up with someone else. Last night someone said that someone else must be glad that these cops were dead. It was a truly horrible post.

I won't lie, that's something I could possibly say. I don't think I did, but it's def possible.

I see the truth angers you...I had nothing to do with it, but the truth of the situation upsets you, and it should.

It's not right, and it's sad...but Dallas is the push back from Ferguson, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, South Carolina, etc.

You wouldn't be able to recognize the truth even if it walked up and shook your hand.

Why do the liberals have to have the answers? If conservatives have the answer, why would they withold that answer and wait for liberals to come up with it. That is in fact what you seem to be suggesting.

I have a solution.

People need to start being held accountable for the crimes they commit, and how they act during their interactions with police. Not everyone is a victim.

If the evidence shows that the police officer committed a crime in his/her handling of the suspect, then they will be prosecuted appropriately. It's when you have idiots like that woman in Baltimore over-charging police before any information has come out and sets unrealistic, partisan expectations, that you have problems.

Taking accountability for your own actions is step #1.

I agree but the law enforcement is not 100 percent innocent in this equation. Yes there has been a lot of stupid people who dont comply with police but everyone on both sides of the aisle would agree that law enforcement has become too powerful and have often times used excessive force.

I can assure you the 11 cops shot in Dallas were 100% innocent. They were protecting the protesters.

I wasnt talking about those 11 officers and you know it. I was talking about all of the events that have led up to this event.

Couple of points

1 - Law enforcement officers are only as powerful as the laws let them be. The more laws you pass then the more power they have. Why is a guy selling cigarettes on the street breaking any law? Why is there a law for that?

2 - Perspective - The number of people killed for not complying with the police is a tiny fraction of a fraction of people who don't comply and walk away (of all races)
