All of the news coverage is now about Dallas, and rightly so.

Lets be fair.. there has been news attention and public outrage over police brutality for likely 2 years now. What I mean is its been well noticed and people have been doing protests and so forth for at least that long..
Yet has it worked? Seems cops are still killing lots of people and in almost every case they get away with it. I don't think this shooting will take anything away from the other, because nothing has changed on the police brutality front.
Sooner or later, people get tired of marching and beating drums and start fighting back. The radicalized are always the first to take action before the required change takes place and if not then the radical becomes the new norm.
Btw I think it's wrong to make it a black vs white thing. It's a cop vs civilian thing.. The problem is no one else speaks up, so it has become a black issue rather than what it should be and that's a everyone issue.
