On Tuesday, August 19th, a 25 year old North St. Louis, MO. man was gunned down in broad daylight by local police a few miles north of where 18 year old Michael Brown was killed in a similar fashion 10 days prior. Ive thought long and hard about posting this video, accompanied with my feeble thoughts, regarding these - what have become routine - occurrences. Occurrences that are happening daily around this country. Much of which go without any media attention at all. Im not trying to fan any flames here or do I wish to engage in any debates on this being a justifiable response by the officers responsible. What I am standing on here is the belief within my heart and soul that these killings are wrong. And they have to stop. I caution you to not watch this video if youre not willing to have your paradigm rocked. Maybe youve already seen incidents like these and dont need to see another one. You already feel the pain of what is, and has been, going on. For the people who dont understand, accept or just refuse to believe what all the Rage and Outcry is about, this video provides but just one example. If this were their brothers, fathers, husbands and sons that this was happening to, would it make them feel any differently? Would they justify it the same way? Based on the footage caught on this video, there was no excuse for this man to die in the way that he did. Related Article From: ST.
