    There is so much racism today which gets attached to violence. The police who have been taped on youtube are able to slam people over the head with billy clubs and get away with their infantile behavior. It irks me that these people are left to do whatever moves them and it is usually infiltrated with hatred. I think they all need to get anger management courses under their belts and I think it should be made mandatory.
