As a child, I never could have perceived that life would be like this. Maybe, it was the innocence of being a child or the under education of my mind on the dark side of mankind. Whatever, it was I wish partly that I could have stayed that way. However, as I get older I see that I needed to see the world with a new "kind" of vision to be the man that I am today.
I have to say Mr. Walter Scott has forever made a impression on my young life. From just one (can I even call it a encounter?) minute a decreased person who I never knew; made me feel crushed. I felt like Trayvon and Mike had just happened all over again. I mean I can't even describe the feeling I had. It at this point wasn't even anger, but a bundle of supernova type feeling of being upset. A gut churning sickness that I really can't describe.
I have to truly say that this "incident" has really shocked me. I was at a (I don't want to be wrong) but possibly a Trayvon Martin really and a random dude who was speaking his peace said something. "This will happen again, and if you think it won't your wrong." This statement has and will always stick with me. I sit in bed same nights and just think about that simple statement. After, pondering the statement I have came to the unfortunate decision that he was right. However, when I think about the statement its true. It truly shows the gut-feeling of most activists, but he actually had enough hurt, frustration, and realism to say it. I guess you can say the statement was sort of like: a mixture of hopelessness and heartache combined with undeniable truthfulness.
This incident hurts so many people. It hurts society, me, you, police and citizen relationships, as well as numerous others. When I think of the big picture of things it hurts everyone. It makes it hard on "us" Brown Brothers, but it also make it hard on all of the good Police Officers, who do there jobs everyday with honor and bravery. My heart, prays, and deep thoughts (now and forever) are with the family of Walter Scott.
In closing, today is a sad day for me and many others. This situations opens up so many wounds that were never healed in the first place. In 2015, I would never had expected life to be like this. Life doesn't feel it should be like this: constant fighting, strife, hate, envy, misunderstanding, mass loss of life (from every form of life, not just yesterday). In closing, this will forever be a imprint in my mind. I wish I could rewind the hands of time but I can't; therefore, I write this post from my heart. But, things have to get better, its no way we can live like this: we against him, we against each other, and they against us. This is too much. Things have to get better, even if I have to stand ALONE; I will stand for justice. Therefore, I hope you stand with me. Organize,be of character, and peacefully protest until things are different. Don't just stand around.
