by Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Dallas.

There is still little info on the black man found hung from a tree in Atlanta and there is even a video of a black man being shot over a traffic incident in NYC but we hear nothing about it.

Last week seems to be a pivotal one as as many of us have undoubtedly though somewhere in the back of our minds that sooner or later something was going to blow as you can't keep killing people without some eventual blow back.

I don't think we've seen the last of it either.
