Even a dog’s life is considered precious in America, the pro-life nation. Therefore, the execution of a black teenager by a white police officer naturally provoked protesters after a grand jury verdict the other day in Ferguson, Missouri.  

Just in news that another black 12-year-old was shot dead in Cleveland, Ohio. What is wrong with US police protocols? In the second case, audios reveal specific questions if the weapon bearer is black or white.   

I have requested a public record from the Ferguson City Police Department Protocol for self defense in such scenarios. I made a call to Ferguson PD. The person who attended the call said he could not hear me, understand my question.
Peace and civility are very important in any society. However, we need to remember that our police forces have budgets for modern technology devices like stun guns or Tasers all over. It is legal so long as the user knows how to aim properly. I am not writing about stun gun technology (used in direct touch vs Taser use from safe distance) but wonder why the grand jury came out with unconvincing evidence that the teenager had to be executed by an officer on the street under the circumstances we read about. Not all facts or pieces of evidence presented to the grand jury are out for us. New York Times reported the prosecutor did not provide, though customary, the grand jury with a summary of evidence. In their deliberations, the jury was overburdened with a pile of papers, and may have ended up in confusion.

The story of the Ferguson killing began with a store theft. Sometime in August this year, a few packets of cigarettes were stolen from a shop, owned by an Indian. That was theft. Police were called in and they found a black teenager, hefty and tall, walking in the middle of a road, not on the sidewalks, along with another teen. They were ordered to walk on the sidewalk.
The teenagers replied they were nearing home and they were okay. Rebellious or mentally handicapped, we do not know from the grand jury verdict. There are thousands of bipolar cases in America. Those on medications can be functional enough.
The episode, under our review, ended with a shooting by the police officer who claimed to have been attacked by the teenager, Michael Brown. Was there a small body camera for the officer to prove it?

The officer was inside a car. His neck and face had bruises according to jury. The exhibits, we see as one lady on the TV said, don't show any blood or any bruise other
than a black line, not even a scratch or cut. The police vehicle’s glass window had a hole caused by a bullet that went off during a fight by the offender standing outside near the officer seated in the car. While the black teenager decided to walk away, the officer followed him to straighten him out rather dead.
So, when the teenager decided to leave, the officer followed him aggressively. The teenager got offended again and turned back on him like a football player with his head bent down. Was he not full of his football imagination, unaware of a fully empowered officer? Was he not bipolar and not on medication? There are unanswered questions.
The officer took his revolver and shot the football guy, three times on his head to kill the boy right there. I believe I am getting all the facts straight from TV, newspapers, and various articles I could grab in a short time. Was this officer properly trained on his duty? Even in my small town, Orange City, Florida, with a $2.5 million budget for the police, a small amount, officers have tasers to numb an attacker's muscles so that no further aggressive attack is possible. They are provided with modern small-sized body cameras to photograph the scene for objective evaluation of their police action. Shooting and taking a person’s life is not an officer’s first resort or discretion. A team of officers or even police dogs can be brought to the scene in seconds after Taser is used; even medical help for the victim if needed.

Of course, no law enforcement officer has to risk his life in the process and has his discretion for self- defense. Sometime ago, in my city, a guy holding a young child hostage was shot dead by our detective. There was good reason because he had a knife in hands with which he could hurt the kid, or while speeding the vehicle, he could have killed himself or others. Recently, 10 officers were at a scene to arrest a drug dealer, with their canine force.
We are looking for justice in a nation with grand juries and big budgets. If they are overspending for all these modern sources, can't they give a more convincing explanation to media about their side of the story?  It is not that minorities are targeted. There are instances in the past of others including Caucasian victims. Now, very soon a grand jury member will write another book! That is America. NY Times is questioning why the grand jury was formed in November not immediately in August? The grand jury selection has to be fair, quick, and prosecutors should be like Caesar s wife ‘above all suspicion.’

To my surprise, I read the officer involved had a wedding during the Jury hearing days. He has come out a hero. The rioters are portrayed as taking law into their arms, destroying property. Why is America so hard on protesters?
The question is, can these police power skip all protocols, written policies in their respective departments, and simply become heroes?
Are these protestors wasting their energy without any probable cause despite several incidents of shootings elsewhere also? Like the November 24th shooting of another black kid playing with a toy gun in the park in Ohio.
We have a lot to thank about America, the superpower. However, sad to say, since the killings of 1621 or 1700s, the Nation’s news media continue to report brutal murders, racial riots, prejudice, over-budgeting with very few productive police departments or fire departments. No earthly governance can be perfect. How come the police officer failed to get a second officer immediately in seconds? How come the grand jury evidence is so frivolous! Is there transparency in all these grand jury matters?
