Here are the seven most active posts on this blog during the past week; a week in which the lives of two black men were taken by police in questionable situations in Baton Rouge and a suburb of St. Paul, Minn. Videos of the events were seen, respectively, by 2.2 and 1.5 million viewers at the time this blog was posted. Violent protests erupted in those cities and many other urban areas of the country.
Only days later five officers were shot and killed by a sniper in Dallas while they were assisting citizens protesting the above-mentioned shootings.
