Tamir Rice had video. Nothing
Eric Gardner. Nothing
Rodney King. Nothing

You and I both know there are many more names to go on this list. I just don't want to spend 5 hours typing them all out.

Yeah, I know. It's a terrible thing every time it happens.

That's why I didn't stay in the Air Force. It wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't get along with their sloppy mentality.

That's because they don't train to do anything but kill!

Yeah, that's why the cop at the Florida school hid outside as the students were shot to death!

So you wait outside as students are killed so you can make it home and collect your retirement. Duty means nothing to you.
