Kudos for not sitting down for your knife to be used for flaying the snake, as an Akan proverb says. Are you going to kill more of the policemen or the five plus the recent three is okay? Obviously the racist Blacks deaths from white police did not occur in Dallas and Baton Rouge alone, so will another demonstration be organised in other states to kill more white policemen. I am sure not even if the law can stop your wish for something like that, but its execution and repercussions undoubtedly cannot be plessant or honorable.

Now can the police killings be justified, considering that these were not the ones who directly killed the Blacks; and the culprits could be walking free and still in business? And if your hatred is for the whole police service then how will you not include your own Black policemen, some of whom are in very senior positions.

By all means seek change, because in life that is the only thing that does not change; however let that change be positively impactful. Let the change be the overdependence on our hitherto "White Teachers", if only to prove that Blacks are also capable.

Sure, it is easy to prove one's superiority in anything including stealing, killing, insulting, etc, but let us choose the positive ones; more so when we Blacks are demonstrating to condemn the wrong/negative ones.
