I'm not American. But I am African. So I do get a say in what happens to those of my African heritage, and also the FACT that 'freedom of expression' is an ESSENTIAL human right!
Wake Up, America! Don't you see what's happening? We are not moving forward but merely going back in time.Going backwards to something that people so vigilantly fought for and lost their lives as it only seems that some people get it and others don't...
It seems as if that those who are prosecuted for their crimes have no powerful connections but those that don't even make it to trial like Officer D are freely allowed to walk out because they are either on the 'FORCE' that's constantly justifying its actions as being right. Or is it to do with colour? As I recall that the Civil Rights Movement was meant to end shit like this and the Human Right Act 1998 has some crap about how everyone deserves a fair trial... but where's the trial for Darren Wilson; that we, the people are passionately protesting for? How is Mike Brown going to receive HIS JUSTICE!?
Recently, in the UK, we suffered a great loss. One that struck the heart of several Britons. Surely, such a crime shouldn't go unpunished and it didn't. The perpetrators weren't humans but psychopaths, simply masking their horrific actions with their religion. No, you can't FUCKING do that! Though the family got JUSTICE and the country got closure... on that same day... a young, lovely boy lost a father. A father that would never see him accomplish great things.
I'm not saying that this officer deserves a life sentence because he doesn't. He at least deserves to stand a 'fair trial' that the American constitution so passionately stands for. It's as if people of such authority can get free passes just because they are apart of something gigantic. The world has already suffered so many losses at the feet of 'the authority', why prolong JUSTICE for Mike Brown? Wake Up, America! This isn't the 1960s!
You can't ask for the unrest to stop if JUSTICE isn't being served right. I get that people's lives are constantly being robbed of them but this is important because this is not the first time that 'the authority' have stolen the life of a young African-American and walked away free. Understand that NO ONE is ABOVE the law or do those of higher power make an exception where its one of theirs being prosecuted!? Do we still need to teach the whole 'a black person killing a white people' needs to face a trial and jail and 'a white person killing a black person' needs to face a trial and jail when they kill someone. It's not right! #revoltforjustice
12 shots is not self-defense but rather overkill! Get it right!!
My intention wasn't to be racist but rather to present the fact that our lives should matter to the point that when it comes facing the consequences we aren't given the same respect when it comes to the law of enforcement as well as same respect in general. BLACK LIVES MATTER TOO! But if you're still oblivious or ignorant to my true intention, then piss off. There's too much injustice going on in the world today.
