Care about mistakes, but calm the rhetoric

The recent news in Texas concerning a young lady's suicide while in police custody is unfortunate, and a concern to all of us. If there are laws being bypassed or broken there has to be a thorough investigation made for the protection of all of us. It is being investigated.

Police too have problems with bad people and a very difficult job, same with all professions. They must however realize that strict rules are needed to avoid abuse of power. But enough already. The comments made by one person, "We aren't afraid is ISIS, we're afraid of police" are way out of line.

There are always some with a loud voices looking more for publicity than for truth. Such rabble rousers exciting a frustrated crowd with such nonsense can cause bigger problems and even riots which could destroy these people's own neighborhoods.

Shame on those who promote such garbage.
