What do you say after you watch a cold-blooded execution from 13 different vantage points? What do you say after watching and listening to cops screaming profanities and behaving like an undisciplined street gang instead of trained professionals? Mostly though, what do you say when this kind of thing just keeps happening over and over and over and over and over again in the United States?

Are we ready to throw out the "few bad apples" theory yet? Are we ready to acknowledge that the whole barrel is rotten?

These sorts of things keep happening because this is the way the system is designed. This is on purpose.

My last question is, what do you say when people know that but still they don't care?
