This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach. #ferguson finally someone speaking the truth. Its hard to see everyone going on with their lives like nothing is going on. Well, there is. Police brutality and excessive force is nothing new. Police racially profiling people and discriminating people solely based on their race is nothing new, but these injustices have reached an all time high. Im sick of hearing that my brothers and sisters are being harassed verbally and threatened by police. Im sick of seeing YouTube videos of my brothers being physically beaten to excess by angered violent police. I am fed up hearing about my brothers being arrested and locked up under charges drastically more severe than what a white person would receive for doing far worse crimes. And I am most sickened and saddened by the heart wrenching tragic MURDERS of my unarmed brothers and sisters of color by the hands of trigger happy police, who are very rarely ever held responsible in the court of law. Justice is never served and I doubt this case will be any different. Im sure the police man, Derren Wilson, who shot unarmed African American teen Michael Brown 6 times, twice in the head, who screamed dont shoot! right before he was shot to the ground, will be convicted for his brutal murder. Well Im writing this because we as a nation, need to get out there and VOTE for demilitarization of police forces in America, and also VOTE for the general level of police force to be brought down dramatically, and to make racial profiling by police to become more and more illegal! I also believe we need to have a better system for holding police accountable and responsible for their actions, not let this just be the wild Wild West in terms of violence and force and justice within the streets of this country we all call home. I am fed up! I am a white upperclass citizen, who will probably never face racial discrimination from police. But my brothers and sisters are! I can not sit back and act like nothing is wrong. Something needs to be done! We need to VOTE as a nation and as people with morals and a conscious.
