Dale, the premise of your letter is so absurd that it appeals only to those of limited capacity to think and reason.  To you, Black lives clearly do NOT matter, which is the crux of the problem.  I am sick of watching cowardly police officers escalating situations and instead of trying to calm a situation down, quickly resorting to deadly force, often expressing enjoyment while doing so.   Your view is representative of ingrained racial fear and hatred, fueled by the belief that Mr. Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya, and that that racism was never a problem in America problem until Obama was elected.   Any intelligent person would be embarrassed and ashamed of publishing the views expressed in your letter.  Deplorable.
