Dallas Staples stated that he hopes the city officers don't have a "us against them" attitude. It's the black community that continues that division-don't listen to what they say-watch what they do. Listen to their music, i.e. rap, watch black church leaders cry racism when a black person is arrested, regardless of the crime they commit-even after convicted in a court of law. Personal responsibility-never!!!!
