Re “Where do we go from here?” editorial, Feb. 19-21 edition: As to FBI Director James B. Comey’s former position as an assistant U.S. attorney in Richmond from 1996 to 2002 and his involvement in Project Exile, I find it incredulous that he can be of an objective mind to acknowledge any “hard facts” regarding people of color.
Case in point: How does he intend to investigate and prosecute the three thugs a.k.a. policemen who chased and gunned down the Mexican orchard worker in Pasco, Wash., on Feb. 10?
In this nation, we are witnessing an ever increasing number of murders committed by the police against unarmed African-Americans, Latinos and all other people of color. That poor man was gunned down in daylight, in full view of eyewitnesses, for throwing a few rocks at the police cars.
My good God has got to give us citizens the guts, fortitude and moral strength to fight — with all our might — against these brutal thugs we’ve given our trust to.
Yes, where do we go from here?
