This situation sounds deeply, in the faraway times of all mammalalian evolution...we are naturally people who "group", then WE are US and THEY are THEM. We have "evolved" , but through psuedo patriotism, race, geography, religion, and other markers, we continue to find ways to do it. Then the powerful US abuses the lesser THEM. Slavery, segregation, social stratification-- we are STILL climing out of it all, toward a more full evolution. It would seem and one would hope that these recent incidents show a greater truth than the isolated facts of the cases. A greater truth that is a little ugly, that we must all be a part of changing.
