The solution is simple: Obey the law

A question: Why is this so hard for people to understand?

If Michael Brown had not robbed a store, he would probably still be alive.

If Eric Garner had not been selling cigarettes illegally, he would probably still be alive.

If President Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson could get this message across, then maybe people would not have to stick up for criminals with no respect for the law instead of blaming the people who enforce them.

If the police cannot enforce the laws that the majority of us have asked them to do, then we are a lost nation living in chaos.

So I ask again: Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Obey the laws of our nation, and live a long life.
