I read something interesting the other day -- 1 in 5 -- 20% of the population is qualifying for Medicaid now. This problem is poverty related. You don't see police shootings in wealthier communities -- the 'burbs. I would like to see some realistic stats on the police shootings in the 'burbs, the 'hood and the barrio ... Wouldn't be hard to guess where the problem is -- where there is more poverty.

Real opportunity and not handouts is the answer -- good luck finding that ...
