" To Police Officers"
Something, that I probably don't mention enough is my Thanks to all the Good Police Officers out there. When I see hashtags like #WalterScott and #EricHarris I think about numerous things. One of the things I think of is all the people that get hurt by the carelessness and wrong actions of others. Not only does the relationship of African-Americans and law enforcement get strained, so does the reputation of the majority of the good Police out there. Just like when someone African-American on TV commits a crime and we get stereotyped, so does the Police when one of there own does something that goes against the core values of the "Badge." However, with that being said I also say that something has to change. No one can deny the facts that this is happening too much. Heck, life is too much; but this once, now twice a week thing is needs to stop NOW!
What must be done to change this world? I don't know, but something. This is too much. I'm telling y'all, I have seen the end game as well as the "Mountain Top" of unarmed Black Males being killed. And its nothing good. There is coming a time when apologies, protest, and peace is going to not be enough (if we don't get justice now). At some point there will be no one looking for peace. Therefore, I ask the brave souls that keep us safe, the true "Good Men and Women" to stand with us as we make a stand. We must partner up, because we are going down a bad road.
In closing, R.I.P to Mr. Scott & Harris. Also, a personal thank you to all the Women and Men protecting and serving us. But, remember we must stand together; because this killing of the Unarmed Black Men needs to stop. Remember silence equal consent.
Sincerely,
The Brown Brother.
