What needs to happen is a call by officials for the good policemen/women to come out and step up against the official/legal permissiveness that is making the Police dept. into a lawless gang, against whom the public needs to be very afraid. I don't hear any "good Police" coming forward and sayig: "We are not a lawless gang, we are public law enforcement official and, as such we do not countenance or agree with anyone breaking the law without fear of punishment, simply because they wear the uniform." Because, until that happens they all appear to be accomplices after the fact. Police silence is saying: "We agree that needless and unnecessary deaths at the hands of our fellow officers are approved by us all!" While the fact that it happens to blacks alone, says a whole lot more!
