I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of watching the news about police beating and killing people. We have watched the news about Rodney King being beaten and no one intervened. Now, we’ve watched Tyre Nichols being beaten and no one intervened. We watched George Floyd having life being snuffed out of him when a police officer kept his knee on his neck. When will it be safe for people to sleep in their own beda and not be fearful of dying by bullets from a police officer or by their hands? When will it stop?
Some people will say, those killed by police officers are simply not complying with police orders. Non-compliance, and being unarmed, is not an acceptable excuse for taking the life of a human being. We have seen even when victims were compliant, they were still killed by police officers, devoid of a sense of right and wrong. When will it stop?
I am not anti-police when those who are honorable, act honorably in all situations. I am anti-killing black folks, when there are other means to deter, behavior. I am against children losing parents when killed by police officers who forget human beings are “human beings” and deserve to be treated as such. I am against parents losing children who were killed by police officers who treated them worse than animals. I am against the senseless loss of life, by those in a position of authority, who choose to misuse and abuse their authority…
