America, This Is The Wrong Direction...
There are simply no excuses for this bullshit happening.
I sat, mouth wide open, watching the news last night.
First off, the officers that murdered the unarmed black man in Minnesota. And I don’t want to hear any more newscasters call it anything else. That was murder, plain and simple, and it’s on film. Period.
This dumb ass Karen in Central Park…I’m so angry on two levels. First off, she’s choking that poor dog like it’s not a live being. Secondly, this bitch felt so right, so absolutely holier than thou with conviction, she called the cops to back her up in her racism. And, hell, maybe she’s from fucking Minnesota. Or Northern Georgia. Places where evidently, cops and former cops, and wannabe cops can just take your life for being black. Or, you can be in the midst of a full-on racist tantrum for pointing a camera at a white woman breaking the leash law.
This is not my America.
This is in no way, shape, or form ok. I am beyond disgusted.
The one joy I took from this is that someone called Karen's manager, and now the bitch has no job, the rescue took the dog back, and criminal charges are being filed. Thank God at least one city has their shit together.
But that leaves me to wonder, why are these cops, who should be held to a higher standard, permitted to straight-up murder people in the streets, and them being fired is announced as though it should be enough? No. If I literally choked the life out of someone in the street, on film, no less, I would be getting the needle. Cops should be held to a higher standard than I am, because they are tasked with protecting lives.
I guess they forgot that part of the oath.
This shit is not the way our America needs to be heading, and I am flat out flabbergasted at what is being allowed to pass for tolerance in this country. This shit has got to stop, because if these are an example of what we stand for here, I think I’ll be renewing my fucking passport. This is bullshit, y’all.
