As a RN I can’t fathom the absolute lack of not only the exercising basic nursing functions, but failure to respond in a humane fashion. This is not so much about the need of health care reform, but the need to ensure that we don’t just “settle” when it comes to selecting nurses, physicians and other heath care workers. For far too long hospitals have hired mediocre nurses or kept bad ones under the excuse of a nursing shortage. In health care we must never settle.

Even if that is the case, no criminal should ever die at the hands of vigilante justice. If he was involved in the death of the officer, he deserved to be punished, but not killed by the officer’s colleagues. I hate to say it, but that sounds like a lynching to me. I’m not trying to say what the guy did was right, but there’s supposedly a justice system in place to give the guy what he deserved.

I agree with the piece written by Milloy. I’m not familiar with the area, but I do know that the black leadership has a responsibility to address this issue. It doesnt have to be in the form of an orgaized protest, but they must do something to let the county officials know that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. I hate to judge, but it seems that the black leadership may be too non confrontational

You’re right. it is a no snitching movement being employed by the police. It’s a bit hypocritical to tell the youth that stop snitching is counterproductive when law enforcement is doing it.
