And when the police, who are paid with tax dollars, killed and brutalized people in Baltimore over the past number of years, we heard nothing from those now so outraged over a burning store.
US Government while it continues to pillage and destroy entire nations, throws a fit when brutalized American citizens finally have enough of being treated like enemies in their own country and destroys some property.
Shouldn't they have been sending the NG to protect those citizens from those criminals in the PD?
Perhaps you are not aware of what has been going in Baltimore? This latest murder of an AA in Baltimore, like the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, was the final straw. They certainly were not the only AAs murdered and/or brutalized in those communities. But sometimes things reach a tipping point when there is no justice to be found.
And where will it happen next because these two communities are far from the only communities to have suffered so much injustice and brutality at the hands of the police.
And will there be the same faux surprise and outrage the next time, or will SOMEONE in our Federal Govt begin to intervene on behalf of the citizens so they can live without fear in their own country.
Because it's way past time to start, way too late for all those who have died.
