i was really too upset to elaborate yesterday, not that anyone cares but i have more to say than i did and am calmer
I this is sad on many levels, this whole week has been rough for my country. but some positive may come from such sadness and anger. i mean you cant keep allowing a group of people to get killed and act like its nothing, just because youre outside the group. it doesnt matter if theyre black, white, Asian, middle eastern, idgaf. this country is a melting pot of cultures and nationality and this constant blatant disrespect by the country. i mean the message couldnt be clearer that, "we dont give a shit about you" when innocents have been killed by police in almost every type of situation and the outcome didnt change. i dont see how any American can witness such injustice and call themselves American. and the idiots thinking there's gonna be a race war are wrong, the problem are the police officers, that is all. you give a racist a badge, his reasoning will probably stem from racism. its not rocket science
the shooter was clearly trying to make a statement, its not right by any means whatsoever. but sometimes radical actions are needed to make political statements in societies as shown through history. thats the anger he felt so deeply that all it takes is a little empathy to understand. hes watching people that look like him being straight up murdered on video for no reason. i know this site is filled with nihilists who gave up on everything and think life is meaningless and nothing matters, but human life holds value. and hes basically being shown over and over by the society around him his life holds no value in their eyes. which breaks my heart that anyone has to feel that in my country, especially with all thats happened
IIi also feel terrible for law enforcement, their awful job has gotten even tougher. realistically there are more good than bad/crooked, loose cannon cops. the crooked cops get let go but then just transfer to another precinct in other place. nobody likes the police, whenever most people are in a situation with a cop its not a good one, usually they show up when theres trouble of some kind. not to mention after the 90's when the riots where happening in LA over unfair police brutality and the crooked aspect of the police force started being exposed in music and film. if cops actually want to be seen as people that "serve and protect" instead of storm troopers, the good cops need to start turning in and weeding out the bad ones. cops also need harsh punishments for these actions, its not your job to go around and play the grim reaper. the "cops have the right if they feel threatened" needs to be taught to trainees better. youre a fcking cop, you will be placed in dramatic, dangerous, and intimidating scenarios. its part of the job and it needs to specified when its okay to take out your gun and a taser
III. the system has to be fair or its bullshit, this whole week has been evidence of the unfairness, that i and many knew about, but maybe of those in denial will get. i mean Hillary Clinton literally got away with treason and lying about it multiple times just because she has weight in government, all these cops have gotten away with killing innocents because they have government backing, whether its state or federal. people want to ***** and complain about following laws to me when the people that enforce and create them dont even follow them, when people that have more money pay less taxes than those with less. this is a capitalist country and the most successful usually cheat or play around the laws its called capitalizing, so what the **** is the point? if one person is able to kill someone legally because they have a bad day, we should all be able too or the law isnt law
