there is no hope of some folks ever getting the point,,,
smh
its not a matter of if a job is being done, but if the job is being done with PREJUDICE,,,
so yes, criminals get shot,, but if we find that out of a group of 100 'criminals' all unarmed
out of the unarmed criminals,,,that are determined to be a deadly threat
there is a disproportionate assessment in one group compared to others
there is a problem
if we find that there is a disproportionate expectation for holding assailants accountable (both in uniform and out) for a certain group of victims
that group is completely within their right and obligation to take action and ask whats up with that or proclaim that that group of lives matter (too)
-------------
Then they should change their name to #UnarmedBlackMenWhoAreArrestedLivesMatter.
Under the current name #BlackLivesMater, they damn sure ignore the culture of violence that's rampant in black communities.
oh, give me a break
lift the needle up so it can stop repeating
its not JUST Unarmed men killed by police, its also black lives in general in the justice system
black victims are less likely to have their assailants held accountable, in uniform or out
meaning whether a cop or a criminal takes their life, the system approaches it as if their lives matter
the assailant when a black life is taken is less likely to be convicted, less likely to receive death penalty, and of course with cops , less likely to even be held accountable at all
and how is there a 'culture' of violence that's 'rampant' in the black community as opposed to the American culture at large?
