I am REALLY trying to change my thought patterns. To release the anger I feel towards whites and other POC who think they are better than blacks and treat us as though we do not matter. But the fact that these acts continue without repercussion makes it so difficult. I understand that we as human beings are all capable of evil, that all these negative feelings I am having are a detriment to my well being and that's the reason I want to let go of the anger. But DAMN!!! How much can we take? How can this last action by our so-called protectors be explained away? There were no excuses before and there sure as hell is no excuse now. This officer needs to be thrown into jail with the regular prisoners. Let taste some street justice. I am reading that officers need to be trained in dealing with the mentally ill. But let's be real. If this was a white man, he would not have been shot down by like an animal. Hell, even animals on the loose are treated better sometimes. There is simply NO excuse. I feel so sorry for this young man and his family. He serves his country TWICE and this is the best they can do for him?
