Brown caused

his own death

A year has come and gone since the death of Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. This death was tragic, especially him being so young.

Let's look back at the facts about what happened that night and the events that led to his death. Mr. Brown entered a convenience store and was attempting to steal a cigar. When confronted by a store employee, Mr. Brown assaulted him and terrorized the patrons that was in the business. He then left the store with the cigars.

For those of you who don't know, several of Mr. Brown's actions that evening were crimes. When he was confronted by a police officer, he was asked to come to the side of the street so the officer could speak to him. At that time Mr. Brown made another poor decision. He assaulted the officer in an attempt to take control of his service revolver. It was during this attack on the officer, that Mr. Brown was shot to death.

In the year that's passed, we've watched protest, marches, arsons, thefts, injuries, and a good police officer lost his livelihood for doing his job. All of this could have been avoided if Mr. Brown would have just behaved. Mr. Brown's actions caused his own death.

In God We

Trust is good

Yes, I was just callin'. These people who are against "In God We Trust" on our policemen's cars, sheriffs' cars and stuff like that. I think they need to kinda set back and just realize that all of our currency, all our dollar bills has got "In God We Trust" so if they are so informed or so against "In God We Trust" I wish they would take their money that they've got that they don't approve of "In God We Trust" and give it to the needy soldiers that's come back from these wars we fought and they've forgotten about. I think that since they don't like "In God We Trust" on these cars I think they just need to stop and think a while and thank the policemen for what they do and they deserve a lot more respect than what they get now.

That's about all I need to say.
