Trefaller letter: Hateful commentary

Charles Blow’s July 28 New York Times commentary on “... rage over injustice for blacks” is hateful and will get more cops killed. Why would you even run such trash? Considering the 100,000 or more police officers, there are bound to be honest mistakes and yes, a few bad apples.

The real problem is “resisting arrest and lack of respect for authority.” Two phrases you will never hear from the lips of Obama, Sharpton and Jackson, who thrive on chaos and divisiveness.
