People who appear willing, if not anxious, to use Saunders death to further their own cause? The death of Richard Saunders is a tragedy, but sadly his death threatens to be just an excuse for escalating violence. Police on the streets blame the tensions if they exist, on age-old demons -- drugs and alcohol. "If you took away the drugs and the alcohol there would be no racial tensions," said one Logan copper.
