Michael Brown Gunned Down

One of the worst things about our community losing so many very young men at the hands of armed
bullies and officials, is that these young men are not a danger to their communities, and they have no
children.
Police don't have a tendency to draw on real criminals in our communities. They assault and kill
the kids of a jay-walking variety. And don't think our reputation overseas has gone unnoticed.
We are losing hearts and minds everywhere. Don't we understand that the picture of us as a heavily
armed mob is undoing us?
There are billions of people in this world.
How ugly can we afford to be?
Even if we drop every bomb we have, we cannot quell the hatreds of those left; nor can we grow a thing in the remaining soils and water.
Whatever causes us to gun down kids in the streets, leaving them to lie in police stations as we did with Trayvon Martin, or in the street where they are killed, as with Michael Brown, or
Eric Garner, we need to discover some way to stop it.
Police forces in the U.S. are dangerous to ordinary people.
