I find it so sad that the concept of solidarity with those in need or in trouble is such a denigrated concept these days. Everybody thinks "politics" has no place anywhere except in the voting booth.

It is especially troubling to see a group that has so recently won respect, ignoring the concerns of another group having similar problems. We are stronger when we stand together.

I also wonder why it's so important for the police to march in uniform. Is there an element of whitewashing going on (sorry, no pun intended)? An effort to try and erase an embarrassing past?
