State sanctioned murder

How long before the blindness results in vengeance?

After another week in which our government decided that the killings of two innocent, unarmed black men were justified (in Tulsa, OK and Sacramento, CA), one has to wonder just exactly when police will be confronted with questions concerning why they shot a man with his hands in the air, why they shot a man in the back, why they shot a man several more times after he was already knocked to the ground by his bullet wounds, how a phone gets confused for a gun, why they turned off their street cams, and why they failed to announce themselves.

While one tries to appreciate the often difficult decisions police officers are forced to make in a split second with their lives (and their families' well being) on the line, too many of these decisions are turning out to be outrageously bad and carried out with an overkill of force.  And to not have the prosecutors acting as a check on said behavior makes it seem all the more ruthless.

One has to wonder how much longer public trust in our local police forces will last if marked change is not forthcoming...and right soon.

Fuck Donald Trump,
