The entire profession protects the very few. Until that changes, there's blame for all.

The protests have arrived here. They've blocked I-264 at the tunnel in Portsmouth and it's believed there are plans to block traffic at the Coliseum interchange in Hampton. This started about a half hour ago.

The conspiracy theorists are going nuts.

There is a lot of positive sentiment for the young black man's situation following the killings. I hope they don't piss it all away.

"The Portsmouth Police Department is aware of the social media event posted in reference to a call for protesting in several cities across Hampton Roads, including Portsmouth. Chief Chapman and her executive staff are closely monitoring the situation and, as a professional law enforcement agency, are preparing to respond in a professional manner should the need arise. The primary goal of the Portsmouth Police Department is to protect and serve our community, including our citizens who wish to exercise their their First Amendment Right to peacefully assemble. For safety and security reasons, the Portsmouth Police Department will not be releasing our plans in advance to the media. However, we are encouraging the organizers of the event to coordinate with our department, so we can ensure that their event is successful."

I'll bet that line has the second amendment knuckledraggers foaming at the mouth.

I hope some lunatic doesn't break in your house and you can practice the first amendment until he puts a bullet in your head. Consolation will be that at least you aren't a knuckle dragger.

You mean like in the hood where they all cover for the murderers of their own neighbors by not providing witness info to authorities?

Actually, that's different in certain ways. More threat-driven, for one thing.

But way to say blacks are bad.

Whould you say we have a black problem, but not a police problem?
