I've been thinking about our "criminal justice" system

[Aerows]

and our media, and how they allow black lives that matter to become essentially vulgarized after their deaths, unarmed, and by cops that get by with a vacation with pay.

I had a horrible thought as a white woman - bear with me - what if police officers start doing that to white people to justify it not being racism?

That right there cites my privilege.

For one moment I was scared that white people might get treated like black people for political (which look up the definition, terrorism reasons.

Intimidation, unlawful abduction, everything else.

I admit I'm kind of sad that my first thought was "Well we have to put a stop to this shit right now, otherwise it will happen to us, too."

And then I facepalmed.

Looking at trees, missed forest.

US is ALL of US.

1. If there is not justice for one of us

There is not justice for all of us.

2. In the example you named if it is done to white Americans it is police brutality. If it is done to

POC, they are just doing their job

(Sorry to be so cynical)

3. That's the handcuffs while black effect

or getting handcuffed while black effect.

I was just putting this out there in my clumsy way, and hopefully find someway in this crazy world to stop this horse shit.

We are more scared of gunfire in every neighborhood om the these days of the police than if we were fighting in the military.
