Bigotry and the killing of children

He was a kid by any standard and especially if you have raised teenagers.

And now the bigots are spreading all across the internet to insert disinformation and doubt about what truly happened. A kid was shot and killed in the street like a dog and the officers so intent and making sure he died refused to allow anyone to attempt to resuscitate or even call for an ambulance for him

Maybe your version of nirvana is all white or all black or what ever color you please or a mixture like we have now. But just how does the killing of children fit in that vision of nirvana.

We should all be deeply disturbed by the treatment of any child (barely legal adult) in this manner

I've been in some war torn ass backwards 3rd world countries during my time in Uncle Sam's Army many many years ago. And the one thing I found so universal and so human (even in a place where bodies could lay in the streets for days if not weeks) was the absolute care, and protection given to children in need from complete strangers. No hesitation, no fore thought - just an immediate response to help a child in need

Where in the F___ have we gone so very very wrong

Been to many of the same places and you are absolutely right! It should be part of our human DNA to protect the children. Well said!
