The popular Governor of Massachusetts, presently the only black governor in the nation, Gov Duval Patrick, weighed in on the recent killings with police being the culprit, telling a Fox station in Boston that he is “sick of unarmed black men being shot by police.”
I’m sick of unarmed black men being shot by police. I’m sick of the lawlessness on the streets. I think everybody’s tired. When are we gonna get through with this kind of thing? I’m hopeful, with the Attorney General of the United States going out, that federal law enforcement will be fully engaged, and I hope bring to a decision quickly. But that’s a really tough mission that he’s set out on, and I know that from some experience.
