Rip To All Who Died From Police Brutality
It's hard to see a young
unarmed man die in the
hands of the police...
Doesn't matter what
color of your skin is,
or if he's a criminal
or not.
If he's not holding up
a gun, then shooting
him to death is murder.
I understand being
a cop is dangerous,
nerve racking.
Gotta make split
second decisions...
But if this is your job
description, then you
have to uphold the law
the way you were sworn
to do.
Not take the law into your
own hands for a personal
vendetta...
Cause he got away,
or didn't answer your
questions like you
wanted him to do.
I got a question to
ask you ?
Were you bullied in
school, now you're
all grown up...
And decided to be
a cop, and take all
your angry out on
whoever you feel
disrespected you.
Cause if so,
it's only gonna
get worse.
I only speak of law
enforcement officers
who abuse their authority,
a few bad seeds doesn't
kill a tree...
There's plenty of hard
working, caring, respectful
officers out there.
Don't judge them all
for the actions of a few.
For civilians and law
enforcement to eventually
get along, they have to
learn to respect each
other...
Before it gets worse.
How can we police
the world, if we can't
police our own here
back home.
RIP Michael Brown
