"Cops still killin unarmed Blacks. Do we still care?"


  

          

I have fallen victim to my own apathy. There was a period where I was following these stories intently, posting every new development I could find on my timeline, arguin with ignorant people (some of which were surprisingly old friends of mine) but today I see new stories I haven't heard anything about and I just feel tired.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3027885/Cop-feared-life-stood-hood-car-fired-15-shots-windshield-gunfight-killed-unarmed-couple-trial-hears.html

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3027834/Coroner-Teen-killed-police-Illinois-shot-back.html


Tired of readin it, tired of hearing justifications and testimony and subsequent paeans for equality. At this point, I don't believe a big enough change is coming. I can't think of the plan that's gonna make me say "Wow. I feel valued and included in the society where I live and work and contribute to the economy."

Short of some dramatic (and I mean unrealistic) quota stipulations for law enforcement nationwide (something, I don't know, reflective of jurisdictional demographics) I think I just have to expatriate and pray for yall.



50 years after Civil Rights and this is as far as we've come? Does anybody else feel kinda hopeless about it?
