If you read this thread of comments you will see that the "blame game" is in full-force.  It accomplishes absolutely nothing POSITIVE and only intensifies the divisions already present regarding the issue of violence in America and, specifically, the violence between the police and the Black community.  

During the riots which followed the acquittal of the officers involved in his beating in 1992, Rodney King famously asked "can't we all just get along?"  The answer, sadly, was "NO, We Can't".... It's 24 years later and, again sadly, the answer continues to be NO.  What the hell's wrong with us as a society?  Can't we, somehow, do better than this?  Forget the "blaming" for a moment and perhaps offer just a little suggestion or two regarding what we (you and I and all the others who "meet" on this site) can do to help stop this escalating violence.  BTW: That's my suggestion.....quit blaming and start think of ways to move things in a positive direction........ regards, Gary
