while that is the right thing for cops to do, one can't help wondering what would have happened if Roof had been African American.
Roof assassinated a State Senator and eight other people. Yet cops were not scared of HIM ...
A lot of people are wondering.
Someone put this together which kind of says it all:
I would love to think that this horrible, racist, mass murder of innocent people, will begin to bring about some real action to begin taking steps to protect African Americans, starting with completely reforming our Civilian Police Depts eg, to ensure that racism instantly disqualifies anyone from becoming a cop, or remaining in the job once there is even a sign that that person could be a threat to African American citizens.
But sadly, I am afraid that there will be saturation coverage on CNN and a few other networks for a week or two, all the usual 'experts' will be brought on to 'discuss' the killings etc, and the killer and then it will be forgotten like all the other domestic terror attacks and the cop killings of AAs are.
I hope not. I hope this will be the catalyst to begin the process of actually doing something concrete to end this terrible terrorism against African Americans in this country.
That would at least give some meaning to these senseless murders ...
