ah. here we go again. Another innocent black male (Terence Crutcher) was first tasered then shot on friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma by a police officer.
witnessed by family members, Tulsa had his hands up in the air the whole time before he got shot. According to Tulsa police cheif (Chuck Jordan) the victim of this tragic even had no firearms on him or in his car. Mr. Crutcher's twin sister demands a criminal charge to be filed against the "officer'' that shot him.
so. where to start on this topic. My question on this topic is basically the same as all the other incidents: why? Why do our "officers" shoot innocent people. Like i said in one of my other post, how can we feel protected from people who hurt and kill when our officers are those people. now, NOT ALL OFFICERS ARE LIKE THAT. i repeat, NOT ALL OFFICERS ARE LIKE THAT. (just to the people who need the clarification). anyhow, i dont even see how people could just shoot someone. especially when there are absolutely no reasons o do it. but im pretty sure that they will come up with some excuse as to why they did so. bottom line: THIS NEEDS TO STOP

I agree completely, this kind of thing happenes so much, and I'm sure there's so many we don't hear about. This these officers often get off with no consequences whatsoever, and it's not right. We should be able to trust our police officers, not fear them.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with. Many police say they were scared and used self defense. If you are scared don't put yourself in these situations. Don't go to black neighborhoods, wait for backup when you pull someone over, or just don't become a police officer. They cant just shoot someone when they are scared.
