I recall writing about just how the US is a hotbed of racist ideology and it’s becoming clearer by the day that a lot of people have become desensitized towards seeing black people die. It clearly means nothing to a lot of non-black people. Every single time an innocent black person gets killed, you see folks rush to defend the killer and smear the victim...except in this case we can see a full grown man place his entire body on another man’s neck for 9 minutes. Imagine calling for help and protection from those that are meant to serve and protect.
Seriously, the “gangs in blue” effect in the police force is real and it’s high time something is done about this. Police brutality is a real problem in minority communities and it seems to be never ending because a lot of non-minorities turn a blind eye towards it (so much so that you have people compare being triggered on twitter to the real horrors that black people face in the US on a daily basis).
I’m legit scared for my family because being in the wrong place at the wrong time could amount to a death sentence.
