Police brutality has been a stain on our legal system for decades and the events of the last few weeks have been a call to action for citizens around the country to put an end to that plague. Throughout history, civil disobedience has always been the last resort of the people when they feel their cries for help have been ignored. Like it or not, this is where we have come to.
Many reasons have been given for this painful moment we are currently experiencing, and it appears that real changes will be made to correct the systemic failures our police force has historically failed to properly address.
These changes must be made, and most of them I am woefully under-qualified to address. So, I’m not here to debate defunding the police force or the many issues of racial inequality that appear to place people of color in higher degrees of danger. I’m also not here to comment on the misjudgments of the police force in their interactions with citizens, because I’ve never had to deal with the pressures of being a police officer. Nor am I a person of color living in America qualified to speak on the fear of existing in-country so rich in racist culture that rioting and looting are the only recourse I have left to make my feelings heard.
