(30,439 posts)Hopefully it will draw more attention and the American people will finally open their eyes to police brutality. The summary execution of unarmed blacks appears to not be making much of an impact, especially on white people. Hopefully this will.
Just look at the polls...most whites think Michael Brown deserved to be summarily executed with 10 shots.
Also, many Americans will dig through the past of black victims and try to find things like drug use in order to justify their death/injury.
I don't think that will happen in this case. Also, I hope the witnesses are white. It's a sad fact that America does not view black wintesses as credible. See Rachel Jenteal or the black witnesses to Michael Brown's execution.
This is a sad reality in America. It used to be that blacks weren't even allowed to testify against whites. Now people try to swiftly discredit them.
