  1. CA Giles says:

    Do we just want just alone or do we want substantive change. WHAT SHOULD JUSTICE LOOK LIKE.. ..
    #1. Require the immediate and automatic arrest and 24 hr detainment of everyone who kills another human being inclusive of auto deaths and require convening of a grand jury to determine if case should be advance for trail. Desired effect: make everyone think before killing someone. To let them know that taking a life will not be cheap even if it is justified. Upon immediate arrest, blood test will be taken, prints run through system and video take interview conducted.
    #2. Repeal the Florida “Stand Your Ground” Law that encourages street shootings.
    #3. Require that onsite interviews by first responders be conducted in front of the Police car cameras across the country.
    #4.Enhance Hate Crime punishment.
    #5. Neighborhood watches should be trained by local law enforcement to a state required standard.
