When will the madness end? This is the umpteenth funeral/wake where something like this has happened.

The current rate of murder still poses the country to have a record breaking 148 murders this year! The question are: Is the detection rate and the conviction rate keeping pace with the murder rate.

I'm still waiting for your response to the white Texas Sheriff's Deputy that was shot and killed execution style by a black man!
You're always so enthusiastically reporting when black unarmed American males are shot by police officers, but whenever the tables are turned, you seem to go mute. To intelligent readers, you seem to possess bias and partisan motives. Isn't that right John?
