On the other hand, what’s next if the grand jury does decide that Wilson should stand trial? So much psychic, emotional, and spiritual energy is focused on a successful indictment. I imagine the sighs of relief. I anticipate the countless social media posts crying out “justice!” I imagine that many exhausted protesters will decide that their work is done. I fear a return to our seductive slumber and to complacency.
Indict the System, Not Just Darren Wilson | Jacobin
There is a clear shift in the conversation. We see that the system is diseased. The whole system. Seven years with a person-of-color president and our police are gunning down unarmed, innocent people-of-color with a frequency that is baffling. Addressing the system as a whole is long overdue. Let us hope that we will all unite in maintaining sustained pressure upon all avenues at our disposal until true and fair social justice and economic justice belong to all of us.
