Some are sworn in to protect us, while others are sworn in to eliminate us...
It’s time to love ourselves and stop hurting each other, killing each other, taking from each other. We want respect, we have to start with respecting each other. Here we face again another vicious wake-up call with #policebrutality but when this all dies down, XYZ will still sit on the phone plotting on robbing the next man or allow jealously to overspill because XYZ used their 24 hours differently than you. This shouldn’t be the only time our unity is displayed. Let’s recreate the #blackwallstreet and support black businesses and our black brothers and sisters. It’s an insult to injury because the officers involved, their suffering will NEVER be equivalent to the crime they’ve committed. We don’t need the rage, the violence, and vengeance a.k.a looting. Yes! We may feel great after the impact after we smash that glass and take the product out of the store…. But that just at that moment. These exact businesses we are destroying are going to just collect an insurance check to become bigger and better allowing the insurance companies to pass their loss off to the policyholders. The district attorney is fast-tracking the charges against the officer to 3rd-degree murder…. WOW! We still painting on a small canvas with a tiny brush, never going to see the bigger picture. We’re doing what they expect us to do, we’re doing what they already label us as “dangerous”. In times like this we need not bring out the worst in us, but the smartest of us, we could never win a war if they wanted to go there and war with violence isn’t the answer. Be peaceful, show how hydroponic we’ve grown. A peaceful protest is beneficial, the marches are beneficial, the statements are beneficial, but destruction won’t change the devastation that has taken place and destroyed families and it won’t change the outcome for the next victim or the trial of this cop or the next.
