It brings forth some powerful and interesting dialogue, which I pray we turn into positive action! I find these blogs on “Washington Heights” very insightful.

I think you failed to understand 'all' of what I posted. I think even if it was wrong, I was just proud to see that my community had an activist bone in their body. I was just surprised to see that. I'm proud they showed the ability to protest. Despite them protesting for an individual who was not innocent and probably regretting they ever did. The police were doing their job, but in our world it shouldn't have been a shock to see the rapid reaction of taking it to the streets. Its something that will never change unfortunately. Thank you again though for the comment on my page. I appreciate it. I agree with you that all the facts should come to light before anyone decides to do anything.

No group is monolothic. That is for sure and I'm glad you enjoy it up here. It has its faults, but its safe and a great neighborhood that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
