Innocent lives for innocent lives
makes absolutely no sense to me

All lives matter
regardless of color or gender,
religious beliefs or occupation,
language, country of origin
or anything else

Remembering the innocent private citizens killed
in the recent shootings by police officers
and
remembering the innocent police officers killed
while attempting to protect private citizens


they were all people
I originally wrote this a week or so ago after the Dallas, Texas shootings but decided not to post it, hoping that it would be an isolated incident. Sadly it was not, now with the Baton Rouge shootings.

Is this where we are going?
