police brutality – SittingOverHereDreaming

zanabism:

the kid was running AWAY from the police officer and the police mistook his sandwich for a gun? there was no audible sound of bullets? he was holding a sandwich and not a gun? an off duty police officer shot an unarmed KID that was running away from him 16 times and claims that HE feared for HIS life and thought his sandwich was a gun? what more exactly do you need to hear? if you’re contesting this any way in ANY WAY then i cannot associate with you, i cannot take you seriously as a human being. if hearing all of this, if after hearing all of this in association with the past 60 days of hell the residents of ferguson/st. louis have gone through and the fact that darren wilson is still being paid and kept free after shooting dead an unarmed kid your first thoughts are ‘but he shouldn’t have had that sandwich’ then you are justifying violence, you are metastasizing an already deadly situation and you hold partial responsibility for the hostility that exists in the u.s today towards black americans
