Ms Derbis I understand ones frustration with something or someone you do not understand. Let me say this I live in Winston-Salem, NC a great little Southern city that I grew up in. I attend a beautiful church and have many relatives in the area. I consider myself a progressive individual and love my country. My relatives in the area do not speak to me because I attend a church they do not accept. They believe the people of this church are out to destroy theirway of life and they do not trust upscale non African-Americans. Yes I am black and my church is the United Methodist Church of America. Funny how so many non Caucasians feel that they are going to be hurt by nice God fearing people who are not like them and never speak to them. Yes I would venture to say some muslims are anti American but not all. So I would agree that the police of America need the tools to enforce the law but let us not destroy one another to get the "bad guys". The best to you and I hope you feel safe soon.
