You Too Can Be On Tv

What? A cop shot at a black teen? Don't ask any questions or wait for the facts Just rant and rave; angry-destructive act "Racism! Fascism! Police Brutality!" ~ You too can be on TV! ****** Gee. I see. The teen was armed and dangerous The cop warned him three times, he did? But wait a minute. He's only seventeen After all, he's just a kid! Uh-huh. A rap sheet as long as my arm, you say Hmm. Instead of shouting slogans Perhaps we should all just pray

Cameras on cells, a danger to society. If they only told the truth but they don’t know half the story. God is the only true judge.

Pray indeed, Gershon! When will people come to respect cops and simply comply with their requests - would sure save everyone a lot of grief. Very well expressed, my friend - Bob

The radical phonies, like Eldridge Cleaver, of the 1960's and '70's with their 'Off the Pigs' mantras, as they were wined and dined by Leonard Bernstein in his Manhattan penthouse, set the stage for what we have now. It's not revolution; it's natural evolution. And decent folks will have to steer clear of big cities soon or else face the BLM and 'woke' culture guillotines. Glad I'm getting old. Not that much to hang around for in this here country. Smiles, Gershon
