I'm 50 Shades of Over This Shit

Heyyooo! Happy Tuesday!
Today's topic is a bit less humorous than its precedents... Sandra Bland. Michael Brown. Eric Garner. Freddie Gray. I could go on and on with the list of unarmed people unjustifiably killed as a result of their contact with law enforcement. I'm so beyond tired of hearing about poorly trained, poorly disciplined police officers with a moral compass that's fucked six ways to Sunday. Now, don't you go flying off the handle thinking "This hippie liberal is anti-cop! Burn her at the stake!" No, I'm not. I'm far from that, actually, as I have friends who are cops; and I can tell you that those friends would never kill someone unarmed since that's, y'know, like, murder and stuff.

I get it - I can't really talk until I've been put in the stressful situations that cops face every day. I know! Again, my friends are cops and I love them and they do a fantastic job... But if you're going to try to tell me that this guy:

Walter Scott getting shot in the back numerous times as he runs away from cowardly cop.

And these guys:

Freddie Gray being dragged by 3 cops who apparently aren't able to properly utilize their Academy training and defuse harmless situations.

 
And this fucker:

Apparently this cop played hookie from English class since he was 5 and couldn't understand Eric Garner telling him that he couldn't breathe.

If you're going to try to tell me that all of these cops were facing imminent threat and had no option but to kill these guys, I'd say you're lying like a stripper in church claiming she's pure.

Especially when this cop is being charged by a double murder suspect, who's demanding that the cop shoot him, and the cop is able to take the situation from death to diffusion:

(I don't know how to make the link a word so it's less annoying, so... Here we are.)
  
But, to the untrained eye, the aforementioned scenarios seem normal. However, just for fun, let's compare, shall we?

This asshole killed 9 innocent people in their place of worship and is getting frolicked around with a bullet proof vest.

 
But, he wasn't shown affection as a kid, so he needs it. What about this?

Ole boy walked into a theater while people were trying to enjoy a film and killed 12 innocent moviegoers - and all the cops do with him is playing some human jump rope.

But, he's mentally ill, so that's protocol.

Ooooh, okay, I get it. As long as you're white and kill at least more people than you can count on one hand for no reason whatsoever, you'll make it to your prison cell in one piece. Well shit... Someone should've told all those unarmed black people that all they had to do was be white and kill 5+ people to live. How did they not already know that? I mean, c'mon, it's common sense you guys.

I know, I know... This topic is what some would say "worn out," but I can tell you that if it were white people being killed whilst innocent at the rate that black people are, there wouldn't just be hashtags and empty wishes circulating the Internet. The suits in Congress would finally agree on something and pass police reform legislation, I'll tell you that. I'm not saying it's always about race, but that shit is way too prominent for it to not be relevant. Where this all came from was seeing on Twitter that a man named Sam Dubose was shot in the face/head during a routine traffic stop last week... And the cop was wearing a vest camera. Has that video released yet? No. Why? Because even the police chief and the city attorney say "it's bad." What that indicates is that the cop literally executed this guy. "To protect and serve;" I don't think that means what they think it means.

Further, I honestly just...

If I hear one more person say the following, I am going to lose it: "If they had just complied, they'd be alive..."

...

.. GAHHHHHH!!!!

And that shit will be justified because BYD (Bitch You Dumb)!

Until you are part of the population that has to be educated on how to act on the street so that they aren't harassed excessively by law enforcement, shut your incapable of empathizing ass up. You can feel bad (i.e. sympathy), but don't act like you know what it's like to be socially stratified into a group who's mere appearance makes them a target for law enforcement's suspicion. I feel incredibly sorry for and sick for and angry for the community who continues to lose their members unnecessarily at the hands of law enforcement; but I cannot and will not sit here and say that I understand it. I don't... Because if I could understand it, that would mean that legislation has already gone through stages of completion to make a change and numerous cops have already been sentenced to prison for murder.

In the end, I'm tired of it man. I'm so tired of it.

I apologize if this is pretty heavy compared to what I usually talk about, but this blog is called "Witte's World," which means I can talk about whatever I want. Today, that just so happened to be some baby back bullshit that needs fixing real quick.

I love (like in the generic, y'all are human so you're my people, kind of love; not the real one because I don't know everyone) everyone and I can't wait until the day that criminals are justly faced with consequences of their crimes - whether or not those criminals wore suits and/or badges.

I swear the next blog will be a "LOL"-er! Until next time, Witte out.
