Police and Muslims are in the same boat

To the editor:
Most police officers are hard working, decent individuals performing a tough, dangerous and thankless job that is critical to our communities. Then there are a few, whose actions cast a shadow on the rest, and these are the ones that seem to get the most media coverage.
Most of the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide are also decent, good people, but the horrific and terrible actions of a small minority, shown daily in the media, makes people think we Muslims are all like this. We don't believe in what these radicals believe, nor do we condone their actions! We never will.
