Use discipline, training to fix police relations: Your Say

A march of moms was held Saturday in Washington, D.C., to call attention to police brutality. Facebook comments edited for clarity and grammar:

Moms and dads are the key to a better future. Discipline needs to be enforced. Stop complaining about the past. Build your future; each individual has to take control of his destiny. When you leave your future to government, it will surely mess it up, as is the case in many inner cities.

I can't understand how anyone can justify what the police have been doing. They are not just killing the people who act like "thugs," as some people are calling them; they are also hurting and killing unarmed people and trying to get away with it. It's wrong, plain and simple.

—Sheila Norton

Regardless of parenting failures, the police need a more reliable non-lethal method for apprehending criminals. As things stand, they seem to pretty much go straight for lethal force if they cannot physically restrain a violently resisting suspect.

The time to march was before these kids were killed. People should have marched to the schools, marched for education, marched for discipline, marched to church, marched for hard work and marched for getting rid of drugs and gangs in communities.

Some people just don't get it. Police don't have to use deadly force. Killing someone is taking away his or her rights to a speedy trial with a jury of peers.

The other issue is that after someone is injured, medical assistance is not always sought.

Cops are taking the role of judge, jury and executioner.
