Police Sgt. Bret Barnum hugs 12-year-old Devonte Hart during a demonstration in Portland, Ore. calling for police reform after the Ferguson grand jury decision on Nov. 25, 2014.
Sometimes, all you really need is a good hug.
Amid the nationwide protests over the failure of a grand jury to indict a white police officer for shooting an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., freelance photographer Johnny Nguyen snapped the picture above during a demonsration in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 25.
"I came upon this boy who had tears in his eyes and I knew this was the place to be, so I followed him in the crowd," Nguyen said. "Then he came upon the police officer. They talked and he gave him a hug."

Nice photo...
Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but wasn’t there just a thread about NYT journalists getting harassed after their addresses published? I’m not finding that now.
Slammin Sammy Sneed never cried.
Yes great photo and message..
If we had more exposure to truth we'd see the problem lies not in the pristine having fear of death at the hands of white policemen (or whites in general).. we'd acknowledge the facts and get it solved. It is not all racial.

I did not find data for the years 1996 through 2003
www.fbi.gov About Us CJIS UCR Crime in the U.S. Here's the links to most of the FBI tables I referenced above.
It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..
So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

Whites outnumber blacks by at least six-to-one.
As the screams of RACIST! augment let me add this
"Although there is a large disparity between the crime rates of whites and those of African-Americans, any perception that this is based solely on racism quickly evaporates when family structure is considered in the data. When researchers control for marriage, the rates of crime for whites and blacks in each family group are very similar."
But hey dealing with facts would put the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry out of business.
Twelve?
I realize he is clad in natty attire but he sure doesn’t look like any 12 yo.
LOL!
The message conveyed by the photo alone is laudable, but the MSM can go to Hell for its continual instigation and support of policies and behavior that further divide the Country.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
And for calling him ‘unarmed’.
He was violent and had already done a lot of damage- with now end in sight.
He was attempting to arm himself.
He would have armed himself.
I’ve had enough of this story
The MSM is generally evil and wicked, they fit this description perfectly:
Romans 1:..
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Proverbs 6:16-19
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
What the heck was a 12 yo doing out in the middle of the riots? Where were his parents? Oh, never mind. We’ll be seeing his picture again and it won’t be so warm and fuzzy.
Love triumphs over hate.
That picture is what the Lefties and the race mongers fear the most.
That youngster has nice pipes.
He was huge and had fists, which he used. IMO he was “armed” enough to cause great bodily harm or death to his adversary.
