Dukes of Hazzard has been pulled from the air. One of the few places where the Confederate flag wasn't tied to racism.

I think that was unnecessary.

I agree, it was unnecessary to pull Dukes of Hazzard from television.

"Chicago (CNN)Leaders in Chicago are calling for calm ahead of the expected release of a video that reportedly shows a white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.

Laquan McDonald was walking down a Chicago street the night of October 20, 2014, carrying a 4-inch knife and behaving erratically, authorities said.
A police officer told the 17-year-old to drop the knife, but he didn't listen and the officer fired on him out of fear for his life, according to a police union spokesman."

Many sources are worried about Big Violence on this one...I hope they are wrong!
