WHAT IF???

A very strange question to my mind recently and I had to share it with you. I hope that you understand where this is coming from, and why I felt it necessary to write this. I welcome any and all comments.

An 18 year old young, unarmed black man is shot to death by a white cop. There are conflicting stories and accounts as to how it occurred, but one thing is clear: one life has been snuffed out, while another will never be the same. As the pieces of the story come together, it is learned that the young man had been in a convenience store prior to the shooting and stolen some merchandise and assaulted the clerk there. Meanwhile protests and riots begin, but on a small scale. The boy’s parents hire a very well-known and respected forensic pathologist, who gives his findings, and a grand jury investigation begins that lasts for several months. A verdict from the investigation is reached and the officer is exonerated, and the protests become even more intense and there is serious rioting. Homes and businesses are burned to the ground and lives are ruined. Imagine all of this taking place, and it happening right here in Bensalem!

Yea I know this is crazy, but think about it for a moment, if you will. WHAT IF everything that happened in Ferguson occurred right here in Bensalem? How would the people running this town handle the shooting of an unarmed black man, by an honorable Bensalem cop? Would a thorough and non-biased investigation be done that will clear the police officer, while calming the public and help soothe and heal any potential racial tension? Or, would certain individuals who love to seek their 15 minutes of fame, compete with the likes of an Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and any other liberal activist media whore, and trash an honorable cop in the process?? Being that the township has NO original emergency management plan the riots would get out of control, and the town would become the laughing stock not only of Bucks County, but also of PA, and the whole USA.

WHAT IF???
