That it's happening disproportionately to blacks isn't the issue.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't and it just gets a lot more demonstrator and media attention when it does because the social justice crusaders and race hustlers find that they have something to glom on to that will really get them some traction.
It doesn't matter WHO it is happening to.
What matters is that it could, given the right (wrong?) set of circumstances, happen to YOU (any of us) just as easily as it happened to Freddy Gray.
I'm an upper-middle-class, middle age, white guy, a veteran, with a graduate degree, couple cars, big house, vacation property, the polar opposite of Freddy Gray, and I've had a gun held to my head by a cop because he got scared at a traffic stop.
I wasn't threatening him, I wasn't mouthing off to him, I just couldn't find my registration so I moved more quickly than he would have liked in a direction he wasn't expecting and he drew down on me.
It was daytime, in broad daylight, on a road in the suburbs, I was in wool slacks, button down, tie, driving a late model car, looking like the college educated professional I am.
If he had been just a *little* more skittish he *could* have shot me.
And if he did he would have been investigated by the prosecutor he plays golf with, he would have claimed that he was "afraid for his life" and the fact that "he wanted to go home to his wife at the end of his shift" would have taken precedence over all other considerations, it's likely that the other cop at the scene would have been the first the throw up the "thin blue line" and then the union would have gotten involved and the whole department would have gathered around the coward and protected him (because God forbid the peer out their own the way we do in the military).
And that last part is where the problem lies.
There's virtually no accountability when a cop goes off the rails.
They're "investigated" by their own.
They're defended by their union.
Their "brothers" will lie, cheat, and steal in order to keep one of their own protected.
We have rules that apply to us that don't apply to them.
And the people in this country, especially the gun-owning, God-fearing conservatives who would like you to believe that they're Billy Bad Ass, are so afraid of their own Gad damned shadows that they willingly abdicate more and more of our freedom to these jackbooted agents of an oppressive state every single day.
