Unfortunately, the headlines are far too common – “Rioting after police shoot black man.” Whether the black man is armed with a knife, a gun, or reaches for what could be a knife or a gun doesn’t matter. Low-life thugs and other losers who are likely the result of modern chemistry will use anything as an excuse to engage in chaos.
In Philadelphia parts of the city are being destroyed after police shoot and kill an armed(knife) black man. For me, I could care less about what color the cops are or the person shot. I’m stating the race simply because it is a significant factor within the story.
Numerous police have been attacked and injured as a result of the violent response.
What used to be bad, is now good. What used to be good, is now bad. We are heading for a dark winter and this tension, this outrage will feed directly into the election next week.
Stay vigilant – head on a swivel with superior awareness. Keep preparing and making plans to deal with a rise in civil unrest and wider spreading domestic conflict.
