Why The Mike Brown and Eric Garner Incident Requires a Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired Nationwide Display of Non-Violent Civil Disobedience
I will try to
withhold from placing judgment and more so point out, what you could be doing
better.
What you
could be doing better, first and foremost, is working on your integrity. The self-proclaimed
“opposite technique of a chokehold”, is actually, a “rear-naked” blood flow
oriented chokehold. It is actually one of the most deadly chokes, because of
the application of direct pressure to the Jugular at the will of the
executioner performing the act. It takes a mere matter of seconds before lack
of oxygen to the brain begins to result in irreparable damage. Any soldier,
marine, OTHER OFFICERS, or MMA novice can validate my claims here.
Now, the
individual’s that were all standing behind the podium when that gentleman gave
his speech; for not speaking up and further escalating tensions you are fired
without pensions. Oh, I said I wasn’t going to place judgment. My bad, that’s
up to New York.
If at any
point your argument is the officer could have been injured by being “thrown
through a plate-glass window” I say nay, you are dead wrong. If the officer was
never on Eric’s back, neither one of them are in danger.
Finally, the
officers in the units that are responsible for the stop and frisk policies and
any officer that is motivated to stop citizens with the intent of achieving a
felony arrest for their record or their units record, whether you believe in it
or not to STOP NOW.
Here is why:
Public outcry
is that you are being too brutal, nationwide. Your response, “Ratcheting up the
authoritarian façade” is driving a wedge between you, and the people that pay
your bills and keep the streets safe for you as well. You are citizens with
badges,that get paid for your selflessness. You are not the hall monitors of
the streets. We are responsible enough to turn in our neighbors and handle our
business. If we need you, we will call. Otherwise, you are wasting your money
and preventing real emergencies from being solved because you are busy patting
down every black man you see “be-boppin” or every white person with a “Don’t
Tread On Me” sticker.
After all. We
are ALL citizens. Cops are our neighbors, brothers, sisters, sons, Fathers,
Mothers and daughters and I am thankful that so many of them out there know
what it is to sacrifice, as many of my veteran brethren do. That level of
empathy is beginning to spread.
So, for a
day. In response to Eric Garner and every other “accident” of mislead policy we
will all forgive each other and put down our arms.
For everyone
in the street that wants to stand up in solidarity, cops and citizens alike.
Illegal Immigrants and legal citizens alike. With the knowledge that every one
of us is responsible for the safety of one another; we should all wear street
clothes one day at noon. We should stand together hand in hand in the us and
stop the world for 1 minute. The 1 minute that everyone had to think about what
they were doing and witnessing, and vowing to never stand by and watch it
happen again.
If we have to fight to be free; none of us ever will be.
