Dear Mr Lemon, We are watching your show from the other side of the world. Our hearts go out for the families of the fallen. Justice will be done, but it is your job to ensure that both sides have equal justice before the law. What the Black Community needs is an African-American pope figure that you can call on your show who can calm nerves and bring reason to the mob. Can't you appeal to the Black Community in your country to find a person who can be a spokesman for African Americans and someone who they will listen to? Why not a black 'pope' for the religious communtiy? Unfortunately, no one is commenting on the very dangerous job of being a peace officer in America. Everyday those men and women go out and everyday at least one of them across the country won't be going home to their families. Imagine going to work and having someone shoot you in the face and having to live on a small compensation and maybe losing your eyesight or ability to talk because of a petty criminal shooting you? We can't. The police make mistakes; these are often people who served in the armed forces who are coming back with deep psychological wounds and who then go back into protecting the communities. No one is right to use violence, but we must remember coming off a week of patrolling and being dead tired and then getting an emergecy call just before you go back to the police station and having to arrest someone who refuses to obey and puts up a struggle and perhaps not being in the best state of mind and physical condition to judge the situation correctly and over-reacting. I don't say the police are right, but they are the ones willing to die so that everyone else is a little bit safer. Please help create a Black Spokesperson that the African Community will follow; someone like the Dalai Lama, or the pope. People need someone they can believe in, because all we see are blacks burning cars and out of control. It's bad PR.
