How will this police shooting be played out?

Another black man shot by police, Luvelle Kennon, 27. Will there be riots by Black Lives Matter or investigations about the race of the police officer? He took a female teacher hostage (a grandmother) for over 7 hours, beat up another teacher in Riverside, California elementary school.  When this goes into the Washington Post data base about crime, race and police, it will be white police kill black man.

And in Colorado, three people were killed by a gunman in a Walmart. Haven't caught the perp, but looking for a white man possibly driving a red sports car.  But there was a gleam of light about the goodness of people. " [Jay]Thompson [18 yo Walmart employee] was standing in the parking lot of the Golden Corral with no coat when Manny Colmenero stopped and asked if he was cold. When the teenager said yes, Colmenero took off his own coat and gave it to Thompson — and told him to keep it." Something beautiful in a terrible tragedy.

In the annals of stupid parenting, an American family has been rescued after being taken hostage by pirates who took over the ferry they were traveling on with their two toddlers.  Who takes a toddler and 7 year old down the Amazon River?  Our kids complained if we took them to art shows at Capital.

"The Harteaus had recently been living in the southern Brazil city of Florianopolis. They have been using a website to document their journey around South America, which began in 2012 as a plan to travel to Patagonia in their Volkswagen van and return to California one year later." The father is an artist.
