I understand and agree with all of the points in the video. I lived by them even before the riots started. I work very hard at avoidance, not just of potential riot situations but traffic situations where problems are likely to develop and any conditions that my gut tells me could be dangerous. I've managed more than 70 turns of the earth around the sun by listening to the little voice in me.
But there is another aspect of this: equal justice under the law. The part about the District Attorney's picking and choosing, based on their own agenda, who to prosecute and for what. I do understand that there are some who would say that such bias has always existed and that it is only the target of the bias that has shifted. Perhaps, too, that this has always existed and I have just been naive. But it sure seems like that, alone with many other parts of our society, the equal justice concept has been abandoned. That does not bode well for our society.
