Whether it's a "PC" issue or not is not the point. What really matters about this situation is:

1. Most of the suspects that were shot by the police were ILLEGALLY ARMED at the time. If you are committing a crime, and are in illegal possession of a firearm while you're at it...EXPECT TO GET SHOT, regardless of your skin color.

2. The people that are encouraging the boycott are doing more harm to their own kind than to anyone else, yet they blindly persist, for some reason thinking that they are on the "moral high-ground" or are accomplishing some greater purpose!

Whether you think these people are "playing the race card" or not, or whether you think there is truly discrimination going on in their police dept. or not...the bottom line is that what is going on now is NOT the solution! They are "shooting themselves in the foot", so to speak!
