You know I’ve spoken out many times about the racial inequality and the justice systems prejudicial inequality when it comes to civilians, Black people, versus the law. As we’ve seen now with just about every case whether it be the African American who mysteriously died in prison, Tamir Rice being shot and killed in cold blood, Treyvon Martin, Freddie Gray, the young man in Chicago and her neighbor, Eric Garner, Mike Brown and the list goes on.
The only Prosecutor that had the stones to file charges was the Baltimore County Prosecutor who charged all the officers involved with the Freddie Gray murder. Ironically enough the first officer could not be convicted due to a hung jury. The most recent case of Grand Jury media frenzy decisions, Tamir Rice, returned the expected decision: No Charges to be filed. How much bullshit is that? Or really did anyone in the Black community actually think that charges were going to be filed? Maybe someone who has lived in a shell for the past 3 years did, but if you’ve been watching you would’ve known to not have any hopes.
I’m so sick and tired of seeing all these sorry ass white people coming out with these fake ass exhausted looks on their faces, like they really are torn or in anguish or wanted their people to go down. The reality is as long as there is this standing rule that Police should have the autonomy to kill at their leisure there will never be true accountability for these officers who think that they’re Gods in the flesh. I’m so sorry to say that the instances we’ve seen all over t.v. aren’t the exceptions anymore, in reality they are the norms.
I am very saddened to see that there is not enough transparency for the process of justice. We can argue and disagree with the crimes committed. We can disagree with the amount of time anyone should spend in jail, but the one thing that we should not have to argue about is whether justice will come to all. I’m glad that there are reforms being put in place. I’m glad that folks are bringing to light the problems in the justice system and my prayer is that some day, maybe soon, we will come to realize that all people need to be brought to task for their wrongdoings, not just the criminals.
