That could be a real concern. Imagine TV images of mostly white troops shooting black gangbangers being beemed all over the nation. Could we see a replay (or worse) of the Rodney King verdit riots in cities nationwide?

That will never happen. You can bet your boots that every one of those troops was hand picked to fit a certain criteria. And being light complected ain't one of them!

Exactly. Most of the perps are black, but then again so is the mayor, the police chief, and most of the police. The cop I saw yesterday with the shotgun trying single-handedly hold back a horde of looters was black. If he a blasted a couple of them what are the going to cry? Racism?

Hopefully, the criteria is excellence in marksmanship. Blackout the media coverage for a few hours and .....with extreme prejudice comes to mind!
