I noticed a few ppl liked what I wrote when this tragedy happened in 2015 today. I watched the live feed on Facebook with the family & the #white journalists emphatically emphasizing #forgiveness. I’m happy the family has come to a place of forgiveness after 2 yrs so they could “move on"and not let this "tragedy way heavy” on them. I always write my honest feelings on here for me & whomever vibes with my thoughts. I know where I am now & how I reacted to how many times these #whitemen repeated the word forgiveness, 2 years couldn’t be enough time for me personally to get over the pain & anger even though I know my matriarch mother would have been just like their God loving matriarch mother. I’m not that full of “love thine enemy” yet- If EVER. #WalterScott isn’t even my blood brother & I can’t stand to watch the video. It hurts. Can’t imagine how it feels to sit & watch the video of their brother’s unlawful execution over & over in court as they analyzed every angle 1000x. My spirit burns every single time #policebrutality & #blackpeople murders come into my awareness so I’ll be weak. I’ll be a hypocrite. But I can’t be fake or deny my pained Soul and I won’t turn a blind eye of indifference.
And like I told this #whitewoman named Ann who asked why did he run? It’s as simple as paying attention & having empathy when you hear another news story about another unarmed #blackman being beaten or gunned down by #police AGAIN. The historic & day to day #domesticterrorism at the hands of police in #America has always been there to incite fear & send a conscious & subconscious message to #black people that their lives are not valued & #cops will get away with #murder more often than not. #NOTTODAY #RIPWALTERSCOTT
#Repost from @17thsoulja5 - The first time i can recall 1 of the cops being convicted but yet & still the sentencing was too light in my opinion. Gunned down unarmed Walter Scott in his back because he was too lazy to chase him down after he pulled him over for a non functioning brake light. A lot of #wypipo, #cop lovers & koons asked “why did he run?” I only asked why did #MichaelSlager shoot. He is a coward & deserved life without parole @_icaintstandwoo_
