In his first interview with ABC News
Officer Darren Wilson who fatally shot unarmed teenager Michal Brown said he is
not tormented by that fateful encounter in suburban St. Louis last summer. How can someone fear for their life when they
are fully armed? Why didn’t the officer
use other means to settle the dispute instead of taking a life? When the Ferguson grand jury has decided not
to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michal Brown violent
riots begin to occur. You can’t make
sense out of chaos especially in this case.
The mass media is covering all angles to a city inflamed with outrage as
they attempt to challenge the system to obtain justice. What’s worse is announcing the verdict at
8:30PM by Prosecutor Attorney Robert McCulloch was foolish knowing the outcome
would be controversial will put businesses, children, young adults and the
elderly in danger from rioters. Those
who are in power who commit these actions to non-power individuals must be held
accountable. This officer clearly uses a
deadly weapon with excessive force claiming he was in fear of his life. How?
You have a Sig Sauer .40-caliber gun with a maximum of 13 bullets. Is history truly repeating itself? Is this George Zimmerman the sequel? Clearly we as a nation still have a problem
when it comes to minority communities and police officers. Too many times this occurs in Black
communities where we feel our voice is not heard. This incident peeled off the Band-Aid to an
already flesh wound which needs tremendous healing and puts racial disparity
back on how police force is carry out in high tension situations. I, myself was Michael Brown at one point earlier
in life when I was mistaken for someone else who shot someone. When they realized that I was not the suspect
they apologize and let me go but it left this awkward feeling of not trusting
police officers. I feel that this case should
be reexamined. My prayers and condolences
goes out to the family.
Life is full surprises. When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you. That oil to your engine is confidence . Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life. That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why. The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura. It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you. We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory. For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo. Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...
