I’m sure all of you who have heard of the former Dallas officer who shot and killed an unarmed, nonaggressive man in his home. I’m sure, also, you know the officer was white and female, while the victim was a black male. Asking me why this matters would ignore the obvious. We live in a world where young, black men are killed by white officers at alarming rates for just being black.

This situation to me is no different. She walked into that young man’s home, claims to have been preoccupied on the phone, startled when she saw him and shot him cold blooded in the chest. All he was doing was sitting on his couch eating ice cream. Now he is dead and she only got 10 years for her crime of Murder.

The bullshit here is if she were anywhere but his house l, I believe she would be free today. And if he were a white male or she a black female I’m sure her sentence would far more severe and punitive. Yes we all could read the tea leaves and see they were fucking. Just look at all the clues provided. There is no way a judge should have allowed a passion defense for her walking into the wrong fucking apartment and killing a man in cold blood. His house was unlocked, is that really what we do at home, expecting no one to come? He didnt mount any defense or struggle against her.

Say what want and there will be many who will. There is not sufficient justice here and until we recognize that White privilege is still an issue and cops have more mercy given than others, we will never have a fair and equal justice system. My heart bleeds for Mr. Jean’s mother, father and siblings. What happened to him and his family was a betrayal. No one thought she would get just 10 years. When you have people in jail on lesser drug charges for 20, 30 years. Wake up America we still have a major problem and we need to fix it.

Sound off. Talk back
