Typical of the kind of ad hominem response rampant in this country when issues of race are attempted to be discussed, lurkers.

Has Ben shown this isn`t a component of the problem, lurkers? Aren`t Americans, back and white, looking at the skin color of all the participants in all these incidents being hotly discussed?

Another idiot playing the race card, lurkers. Don`t think there aren`t tens of thousands of black people who agree with the original poster, and would like to see their communities served by all black police presence.

This is the kind of non sequitur you can expect if you ask Ben to show the relevance of one of his "ideas". As soon as you as "how so", or scratch the surface there is nothing there.

The poster was talking about a problem and offering solutions, lurkers. He wasn`t casting judgement on any group, he was presenting what he considered the reality of the situation and suggesting a better course of action to deal within that reality.
