HANDS UP...DON'T SHOOT!!!! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!!

 
In an article posted by Shayy Tavarez on December 1, 2014 title No Justice, No Peace she talks about the decision from the Grand Jury when they decided not to indict Darren Wilson from the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. Not only has this decision sent those affected by this decision into an uproar, it has also sent the whole African-American race into an uproar. The decision sparked a fire that has people of all races in an uproar, that they not only took to the streets, they have taken to the capital. In the article posted by Miss Tavarez from the Dallas CBS, they spoke about people who have hit the streets in Northern Dallas to protest the unjust decision that was handed down by the Grand Jury.
     When the decision came down that they were not going to indict Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown, I have to be honest, I cried for the hurt that this mother is feeling. I too have a son the same age as Michael, and I fear his life, not because he is out here in the streets doing unlawful things, but for the mere reason that he his black, and being a black male in America seems to be the worst thing to since AIDS/HIV and Ebola have surfaced.
    Along with my tears, I was, and still am angry that the police can go out and shoot/kill people and they don't/won't be indicted for the murders they have/will commit. To me, this has told me that no matter how much evidence they have on the police officer (DNA, Video and Witnesses) they are still going to walk, and another family will have to live with knowing their sons killer is still roaming free. I would have liked, and will like to see is for those police officers who are committing these crimes to face a jury of their peers, place all of the evidence out there and allow the public to know the whole truth.
    This is a VERY touchy subject for me, and I can go on for hours about what this has done to the African-American race, but I will end it by saying this: I am proud to see our youth so passionate, informed and knowledgeable on this subject. Thank you, Shayy Tavarez for writing on this subject. You are our future, we hope this doesn't stop here, we hope that your generation will carry on the fight for ALL African-Americans to become equal. RIP Trayvon Martin, Tamir Jones, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Emmit Till and the rest of those who have lost the battle of just being "black."
