Thank you for listening to tonights show. Wild Bill was a police officer, and is a man of faith.  We believe that it is our responsibility to God to show love to our fellow man. Of late Bill found himself doing what he has thrown stones at others for doing regarding basing thoughts on sound bites in the news.  On the issues of police officer's shooting people, he found that it is easy to get caught up in something that is so emotional and personal to him.  The news took all of us to the recent police altercations in  Minnosota, and Lousiana.  The videos looked awful to all of us that care about human life.  The targeting of police officers in Dallas and other states has rocked us all.  The videos and the news coverage seems to expand division and hate!  Police officers are taught to take control of situations and are not paid to fight people.  They are taught how to keep themselves as safe as possible in this process, and part of that has to do with total compliance by the people they are dealing with.  Part of the tools police officers use to do their job has to do with what is known as profiling.  If a car tag shows it belongs in a black area and it is seen in a white neighborhood at night.  It is probably going to be stopped.  The same with a white tag in a black neighborhood. Being in differant neighborhoods is not a crime, but a lot of crime is caught and arrest made from this profiling.  People feel violated when this is done without a doubt.  But is it wrong?  It is a tool that works more then it is wrong and has nothing to do with being racist.  Education and comminucation is needed to find a middle ground.  We hope what we share tonight can help us all find that middle ground, before the nuts come out to get their 15 minutes of fame and stir the pot even more.
