(269,157 posts)It's why I hate war as well. Too many innocents are killed - there is nothing called collateral damage - it is the killing of humans and other animals.

(7,906 posts)He was treated with scorn while wearing his uniform, and he was treated with scorn when not wearing his uniform.
Damned if he did, damned if he didn't. All because of his uniform, and the color of his skin.

Humble Sweet Kind Brand New Dad, Slain #BatonRouge #Officer Montrell Jackson Had Previously Saved A Toddlers Life
"He loved his job," said Darnell Murdock, one of Jackson's friends.
"It motivated him to go out and change people's lives. He was on (the force) to help people, to make you have a better day," Murdock said. "He was humble, kind and sweet. He wasn't on there to write tickets. I don't understand how this could happen to someone like him."
