Why are White People Surprised That the BLM Movement are Confronting Politicians?

 The Police Killings MUST Stop Before Black People Begin to Arm Themselves

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your America.

 

IT HASN'T STOPPED. THE POLICE KILLINGS OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL OCCURING. THAT'S WHY THE BLM MOVEMENT ARE CONFRONTING ALL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. SO FAR NONE OF THE CANDIDATES HAVE COME STRAIGHT OUT AND SAID THAT THESE HOMICIDAL POLICEMEN WHO KILL UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND PROSECUTED, SOME TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW. THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THAY AREN'T GOING TO WANTONLY KILL WHITE FOLK, BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO HESITATE IN THE LEAST TO KILL BLACK PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY BLACK MEN, AND THEN PERJUR THEMSELVES AND ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE. EVEN THE POLICE CHIEF SOMETIMES TELL LIES FOR THEIR PEOPLE, WHICH MAKES THEM ACCESSORIES. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ALSO. THE SYSTEM IS STACKED AGAINST US. WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. WHEN A POLICEMAN MUDERS ONE OF US, EVEN THE INVESTIGATION TAKES WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS, SO THAT THE OFFICERS CAN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE UP A PLAUSIBLE LIE, TELL IT AND IT IS ACCEPTED AS THE TRUTH EVEN IF THE INCIDENT COULDN'T HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE HAPPENED AS THE OFFICER SAID IT DID. THE OFFICERS WORD IS TAKEN EVEN IF THERE IS VIDEOTAPED EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS COLD BLOODED MURDER. WE FEEL AS IF BLACK LIVES DON'T MATTER AT ALL. WE REALLY, REALLY NEED AN AFFIRMATION THAT OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN IN THIS (I WANT TO SAY GREAT) COUNTRY OF OURS, BUT IT TRULY FEEELS AS IF WE HAVE TARGETS ON OUR BACKS. BECAUSE JUST LIKE IN THE 1950'S AND 60'S WE ARE BEING MURDERED WITH IMPUNITY. IT'S AS IF THE CANDIDATES TOO, SEE IT AS ACCEPTABLE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO MURDER BLACK PEOPLE WITH ANY LITTLE FLIMSY EXCUSE, LIKE THEY DID IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA. WE WANT AND NEED FOR EVERYONE LOOKING FOR A VOTE FROM US TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR LIVES MEAN SOMETHING IN THIS PLACE CALLED AMERICA. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE "THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE", BUT SOMEHOW THE BLACK COMMUNITY HASN'T BEEN ASSIMILATED INTO THE MIX. EVERY OTHER CULTURE IS ACCEPTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OURS.
