1. Brilliant men who should have been allowed to shine much earlier

Both of them.

It's just sad that it took so much pain to get them in the right spot.

4. That's the truth

I trying to understand that police rage and reaction. What was that militarization about?
What was that gear about as Chris Hayes is asking?

5. Fear

It's all about fear. These cops are simply TERRIFIED of the people they are paid to protect.

In this case, what's most likely driving that fear is the knowledge that they allowed a racist cop in their midst and he eventually murdered a kid.

The absolutely know that when the facts come out, this community, these people, are going to be asking for their heads on a platter.

Last night was the reaction of a heavily armed, deeply guilty, fearful police agency.

6. I've seen Honore' mentioned

here lately, but I don't know anything about him, other than he's from New Orleans. Why is he being talked about these days?

7. Because after NOLA was a complete mess

Bushco called on him to save the day and now the Missouri Governor has called for Johnson

remember him since I live near there and all. I've always been bad with names, and it's only getting worse as I age.
