Who are these people who riot and destroy the lives of innocent people?
I certainly don& #39;t support police brutality and murder and we are long past the time it needed to be addressed.
I stayed up all night on FB Messenger with friends while one of them sat in the dark with her teenage sons holding an arsenal in Ferguson. The riots were 2 blocks away.
Businesses were destroyed and lives were ruined. Some didn& #39;t recover. I lost time at work because the officer who killed Michael Brown lived behind my school.
Now I learn that a friend& #39;s son is just 4 blocks from the riot in Minneapolis. He is married with a 2YO daughter. His MIL lives with them. They cannot leave their house.
I& #39;m not sure that innocent citizens and communities are the ones who need to pay for the sins of law enforcement. There must be a better way.
I& #39;m sure this thread will draw some hate-filled comments but I& #39;m genuinely interested in hearing from people who want to promote healing. It& #39;s time to rise above chaos.
