P.S. As a African American and a resident of Seattle I am glad they caught and killed the cat who killed the four police officers. And I am saying he did it too.
My prayers go out to the families of the fallen police officers. I feel sorry for the children of the officers whose mom or dad is gone right here at holiday time. It is truly sad.
Having said all this, this is a fact that is true and that is there is a tremendous mis-trust against the police by the African American community not just here in Seattle but in most major cities.
We see time and time again police officers walk when they are involved in a killing of a African American here in our area and nationwide. This never leaves certain people’s minds. Heck every time I see a Seattle Police I think they are going to stop me for something every time I am driving. Most African American feel this way.
With five police officers being killed in the last month in our area, and most likely by a African American, it is time for a public meeting so the police can understand the mis-trust African Americans have in the police.
But again that is no reason for people to flat out murder police officers. It is wrong. Pure and simple. And this has to stop and stop NOW. Gordon Curvey
