The Press Conference Of Rayshard Brooks

Rayshard Brooks was asleep, in his registered vehicle, in a Wendy's parking lot.

He had no weapon because he was patted down.

He could have been ordered to walk home or even call to be picked up.

Instead, the visions of George Floyd, constantly bombarded by media, left the searing imprint of what was to happen next - death.

In those few moments of fight or flight, the visions of being arrested, losing your vehicle, job, home, children and reputation, to make it to a safe haven to contact an attorney, if you can even afford one, overtakes one's thoughts for the instinct of survival.

Perhaps, he just wanted to make it home to his daughter's birthday party before he went into the system.

His daughter was waiting for him to return home for her birthday party.

The officer discharged his weapon in a crowded parking lot where stray bullets hit another vehicle.

There is no empathy in law enforcement because there is no love in law, where, if the officer did not follow through on his own law enforcement training, he would have faced disciplinary charges as all officers have body cams, and are no longer allowed to make their own judgments.

He could have just been ordered to walk home or get picked up, but there are those who justify the shooting as "resisting arrest".

The officer has been fired.

The family is asking the out of towners to stop tearing up their city.

The out of towners are the ones rioting.

The victims and survivors are asking for peace.

Everyone needs to watch the residuals of the peculiar institution because it always starts with the children.

We teach hate.

Slavery was never abolished because there is the Exception Clause.

We do not teach the history of the right of a civil society nor will media report upon this fact, because there is too much money involved and no one cares.
