HANDS UP and they DONT SHOOT

I know, pretty shocking, Free coming in defense of the police, but man I saw something the other day that really pissed me off. Up in Salt Lake City there were people protesting police violence (if memory serves me well there were more deaths by cop in UT than any other state) and this wannabe hippy had a sign that read "blue lives don't matter". First off, hippy died and was buried in Golden Gate Park in 1967 so get over yourself buddy. Second, every life matters. We are all somebody to someone whether we realize it or not. Also, I may have missed it, but I haven't seen any video in which a person who was following police commands was shot or beaten.  I agree that it was excessive force for selling loosies, but had the man consented he would still be alive.  Who am I to speak? Well I have been the one who didn't listen and gotten taken down by four cops as well as one who had the guns pulled on him and immediately stopped. Everyone who has lived outside the law knows that it is a gamble and that there are certain ramifications for every action we take.  I don't have much sympathy for those who have died, but feel deeply for the families they left behind. It is no different than being a junkie. Your actions and thoughts are only about yourself and you leave family and friends to grieve. Where is Rodney King when you need him?  "Can't we all just get along?"
