This is just within the last 5 DAYS with just 2 of these 5 players' hometowns. One can't help but think that just a small fraction of contract money and a small fraction of time these dudes could spend back in their hometowns could make some kind of positive difference.

But what do I know? Who am I to tell folks how to spend their money and spend their time? Like I said in my original post, if they want to raise their arms in protest, let'em. It's their essence and their prerogative and their lives and their opinions.

That's what I'm talking about. If I had included older black males, women, Hispanic/latinos and (god forbid) Caucasians in my earlier stats of 3 or 4 bodies, it'd be double digits ... include the whole city, it's in the hundreds ... but I digress,

.

It's an economic/social issue (and a much larger debate), not a young black male/white police officer issue. I've lived in/visited quite a few countries around the world. Poor people act pretty much the same regardless of race, color, creed, culture or nationality and all within societal norms. You always have your 1% of Michael Browns, for whatever reason. One may even speculate that's the reason you need police departments, :shrug:.

This conversation has been going on since as early as I can remember ... late '60s/early '70s ... and it has not advanced one single iota since then because the race pimps keep focusing it towards the topic that profits them most and benefits their communities the least.

If their goal is to rip the scabs off old wounds ... mission accomplished ... but a lot of us are older/wiser now.
