The men and women who truly do "protect and serve" don't deserve to be punished for cops that have bad judgement. My heart is heavy for us!!

I know great men that are police and do their job the correct way. Handle situations properly and defuse accordingly. This is not right!

On another note. These senseless acts of violence have to stop. We as people need to make an effort to make things better/safer TOGETHER.

All violence in this country sucks. Whoever perpetrates it. intellectually dishonest people will continue to justify it. So sad. Rant over

Fear and hatred just leading to senseless death…sad times (D-Mac)

I may not be the most educated person on the matter but I can certainly tell you this… An eye for an eye will never solve the problem
— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) July 8, 2016
It's senseless murder in both matters. Everyone has family members and loved ones who are affected so why compound to make matters worse?
— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) July 8, 2016
When will the love prosper and the hatred start to dissipate? Hatred breeds more hate, and that is the opposite of the solution.
— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) July 8, 2016
All I know is that is it starting to be a scary time in our country, and it certainly doesn't need to be this way.
— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) July 8, 2016
The people in the community that are the most powerful need to preach with a lot more positivity
