What will it take for police not to have open
season on persons of color? We celebrate one victory for justice in Minneapolis only
to have another possibly unjust police shooting of a Black person happen yet again in Columbus, Ohio.
Again? Yet again? Do they not learn? Is taking a life justified
with a gun because the assaulter had a knife but did not have a gun--a 15 year old girl I might add. Is proportionate force not a concept? Are not there other areas of the body
that would not kill but still protect those who are threatened by an
aggressor?
I do not get it. I simply don't.
I
am speechless for once.
