If the lives of police officers' began being taken every time something like this happened, then things like this wouldn't happen to us anymore, or at least not as much.
It's just that simple. It may be harsh, but it's our REALITY.
Take the Mike Brown tragedy for instance.
After the first week or so of law enforcement dragging their feet about arresting officer Darren Wilson it should've been BANG!, bye bye to him as he exits the donut shop.
Unarmed man shot in Brooklyn and the officer gets off with no legal punishment?
Well, a month later that officer should go home to find his wife decapitated.
John Crawford's killers(police), who shot him while he held a bb gun in Walmart, should all be in fear of their and their family's lives right now.
But nope. Nothing ever happens to these officers. They don't respect us because they don't fear us.
Police officers should actually live in cold fear of one day mistakingly shooting a Black person, all because of what may then happen to them if they aren't convicted.
And if they did shoot an unarmed Black person, and if they did get off without being convicted at all for it, then they should expect nothing less than their Black-cop coworkers(although they'd be unable to prove it was the Black cops hehe) to leak all of their personal info to the proper parties within the Black community-for our own justice/retaliation purposes.
And this isn't some farfetched idea.
We may not outnumber whites, but we have enough Blacks who live next to these cops within in the very same neighborhoods;
we have enough Blacks who are military trained, enough Blacks who are police officers, lawyers, judges;
we have enough of everything we'd need for this type of self-policing/self preservation and self-seeking of Black justice, to be a reality. Almost effortless, even.
If the police had to worry about retaliation whenever one of their officers killed one of us for no reason, then I guarantee we wouldn't be being used as live target practice in 2014.
But they dont, so we are.
