I made the poster below as a sarcastic response to the justice system that has so far exonerated those who saw to it that Freddie Gray ended up dead. Apparently I was not being sarcastic but I was being prophetic. This assault on the unarmed caregiver happened last Monday. The reporting of the assault was delayed until Thursday. What do you think that means? Why did the delay in reporting the shooting of a citizen by the Police occur?
Apparently you’ll have to go to my blog to see the poster. The link is in my profile.
Edit: This morning another delayed report of an attack on an American citizen appeared in my news feed. This time in another Southern state, Texas. Read the AP article in the link and have it in mind next time some idiot says the U.S. is not a hot bed of racism.
This morning on my news feed was the story of an unarmed healthcare giver aiding a mentally ill patient and being shot by police in Florida while going about his work. Florida is a state in the Southern part of the U.S. Florida has a long history of racial animosity. Whether or not this is part of the reason for an unarmed caregiver being gunned down is yet to be determined. The news story is very disturbing. It seems to me that this mans life was of no consequence to the shooter. The unnamed cop fired three shots at him and was only able to hit the man once. At the very least he needs to be kicked off the force for being such a poor shot. (sarcasm.)
As I said. It was in sarcasm and also disgust I made the poster because of the inhumanity present in the circumstances that cost Freddie Gray his life. Today was a mindblower. I never thought a cop would actually shoot a man lying on his back with his hands in the air. You learn something new every day.
Is there anything a black person can do to keep from being shot by the police? The question needs to be asked. This incident cannot be considered an aberration due to the present condition of American society. Maybe society will be moved to correct this. It's time something happens because at the present time it is clear that society thinks that only Some Lives Matter. Maybe the media is at fault for reporting shootings like this. NOT!
Please do not follow the directions in the poster. It may cost you your life. I don't know how the problem can be solved, but I know the problem exists. Somebody better solve it.
POSTSCRIPT:
I do know how to solve the problem of people gunning others down. Problem is Americans have been trained from birth to reject the only solution that will work. That solution is to love one another and to see to it that all are doing good. Society is not like that. Society is the way we made it. We can change our minds about how we feel about one another. We can choose to learn how to love one another. I doubt Donald Trump is willing to take the chance. I doubt America is willing to take the chance. Hillary Clinton cares about Hillary Clinton. That which will save the nation is a change in heart not a change in political direction.
