I'm afraid all Americans were not united in shock and outrage though I hope most were. Many people including in positions of authority in government and law enforcement saw nothing wrong with the murder.

As I write, Trump is considering implementing the Insurrection Act of 1807 to send the US military into American cities, coincidentally into urban areas and black communities. Your military background may allow you to answer better than I what will happened when a military comprised of approximately 40% minorities faces off against Americans who look like them?

The legitimate protests have been hijacked by something else and people on both sides I believe with their own agendas. While police forces are accustomed to treating their own citizens badly, it remains to be seen what the military will do if placed in that position?
