There is literally no more cooperating that could have been done. He was laying down with hands up and talking to the police to let them know there is no weapon and he still gets shot? On top of that, he was put into hand cuffs before police examined the wounds to assess what level of medical attention was needed. Black men are truly an endangered species in America.
I notice a lot a white Americans are upset that black Americans are speaking out against injustice and inequality in America. My advice to those white people is to help us fight for equality to change the inequities. If it doesn’t exist then white America won’t have to hear us talk about it anymore.
True sister soldier to have the composure she demonstrated while being confronted with a gun in her face as her fiance sits dying beside her. To have the presence of mind in recalling and articulating the detailed account of what was witnessed and experienced firsthand and sound judgement to live stream the aftermath of the incident is one of the realist examples of putting on for the unjust treatment of black people in America.
It’s sad enough that his family lost someone that they love but what’s making it even worse is that she is having to defend his character when it’s irrelevant to him being murdered by these police officers. This is a case that could have been easily deescalated by having a conversation before tackling and restraining him. He was not given an opportunity to even inquiry about why he was being approach.
Truth … The majority of the legal system is controlled and was built by old white males. When in a position of judicial power they only see the accused black boy as a criminal versus when they see a white boy who is their mirror reflection. They are more likely to be more lenient because selfishly, in their subconscious, they view them as themselves. Real talk, nothing new about the inequity of black men in America’s judicial system. Time to be on some new shit. FUCK THE SAME.
