This tragedy for the young man and the officer is becoming a true issue beyond gun violence in our streets to racial difference. Today we are battling real demons in our streets that is forge by individuals who are instigators and has no real plan to help the community. It is vital to note that we are becoming more separated because of ideals and opinions. First of all we all agree the young man had a pellet gun we all agree. We also agree he had the pellet gun pointed at officers. But we all differ is something that each of us must take in personally; for me the young man was shot because their was aspect the officers felt he had a real gun. To those who stated that people can notice what a real gun and a pellet gun look like needs to see how far similar in visual aspect they have become many toy or fake guns looks so real that even experts including gang members have said it is hard to notice what is real and what is fake. It is also important to note our judgment not to fire or to fire must be real because we cant say we would not shot the young man or if we would, because today many must decide for themselves if you were in the spot of the officers what would you do. Another problem is as a community we need to stop the real indifference and the real separation and real bias that is brought upon our community because of mistrust. For me I have family members who are from every aspect of religious background to family members from different ethnic background. One thing that holds me to each family member is my love and care of who my family are and dont care what they are in the color of their skin or the religious aspect they believe. Because in the end we cant survive as a community if we have the disciples of havoc control our lives and make us question ourselves and make us enemies with neighbors. People are more willing to seek the difference of everyone than seek the similarities of each other. In the end I pray for the families of this tragedy and others in the country.
