I'm a black male, I live in the South, and I don't feel safe from police officers motivated to arrest prosecute and convict me over non-violent drug possession offenses and just being black overall. I'm on individual liberty's side and all, but it's still very troubling times if I still don't feel safe. The state of things are not in my favor after this lack of indictment and the reactions after.
And with good reason to not feel safe. It's NOT safe. A gang of psychopaths in blue, know if they want to kill a man they will get away with it. Especially if he's black. The police are not being held to account, in ANY case. Not from the most guilty to the most innocent. The few exceptions that prove the rule, are either off-duty, or they amount to weeks where you and I would get years.
If the 1000% innocent get trampled to death without so much as a blinking eye, then what hope is there for me, who is only human, and Lord knows which of their crazy rules I broke today?
All around America, these people are killing without consequence, and by and large the traditional electorate will defend it, because the only examples they are allowed to see are people like Michael Brown. Forcing the ambiguous ones to the top as a wedge to wedge people apart and keep us divided.
Miriam Cary was executed by the American Police State. The Police State has totally encroached most of the United States. The Police State has adopted a wartime footing, and applies a Rules Of Engagement that belongs in a combat zone.
The State has been able to kill black men without consequence for a very long time. What is new, is the ability to kill pretty much anybody without consequence. The Police State is applying those lessons, and you can bet the first cold blooded white killing that explodes across the news cycle will be a thug of some kind. Another stage of division.
Michael Brown should not have died. He is not blameless, he put himself into the position in the first place, and then he chose not to lay low. However in America we have something called due process. Was it life or death? We have no way of knowing. If it was legitimate self defence, then Wilson should be found Not Guilty by a jury of his peers. There was clearly enough questions in the contradicting evidence to bring an examination of the facts. Maybe it was a cold blooded execution. I don't know, because we have not been given the occasion to examine the
evidence. Only a bunch of contradicting rumors and stories and videos which all seem to say something different.
We are being played, whether it the police 'accidentally on purpose' leaving the body out and then a complicit media, there is some organized force that is promoting a specific narrative that is further worsening the chaos and division. It is like what Hitler did dividing everyone up into enemy groups. There is a great 1947 US docupropaganda "Don't Be A Sucker" that describes 'what is fascism' really well, narrated by a German man. That division is what they are doing. Brown is promoted above Gurley, because Brown is divisive and Gurley is uniting. That division is how they exact control.
