    President Obama says the killing of 5 police officers in Dallas was vicious. If you're in the US, what's been your experience with police?

        this isn't about just police. It's about the injustice after the senseless killings towards blacks. A silent war in #America

        Though, two wrongs do not make a right, the trigger-happy Police should be cautioned.

        Most police officers are fantastic. However, as with all jobs, some are not suited to be a police officer. That's the problem.

        Depends on which neighborhood I was in at the time for police. Can't recall a bad interaction with State Troopers.
