I don't feel qualified to speak about what is going on in Ferguson. I don't know what it's like to be targeted as suspicious simply because of the color of my skin. I don't know what it's like to be pulled over by a police officer for no other reason than being who I am.
I don't like the police. I don't know why. I just know that they raise in me an instinctual distrust, a drawing in and at the same time a whole lot of defiance. A luxury I'm afforded as a white female. Wonder how brave I'd be if they pulled out their guns on me as I gave them my stoic, evil eyed stare and my smartass mouthiness. Probably not very.
Saw a post of a friend of a facebook friend about Ferguson that made me just shake my head. "Unlike them, we're civilized. Get your gun and be prepared to shoot to kill those who would harm your life, family and property." Oh the irony.
Like all people, some police are good and some are evil. I've had more than my share of dealings with them.
ReplyDeleteI know one thing for sure, some of them are violent people, who have managed to get a badge, that they should NEVER have given.
