You are correct. I meant Philando Castile. So many dead black guys over the years that I can't keep track...

I feel bad for the cops in Dallas and their families. They didn't deserve this, but it's not surprising. Unfortunately I expect this problem is going to get uglier and more divisive before it gets better. Hopefully we've reached, or will soon reach, the tipping point to achieve true police reform so that no one else on either side gets senselessly killed.
