The brutal execution of Laquan McDonald… what new is there to say about the killing, killing, killing, killing of young black men in the United States. The killing, killing, killing, killing of American citizens by the people we as a society have given extraordinary powers to single-handedly decide our fate.
Should I write about the racism?
Should I write about the growing list of brutality against all races?
Should I write about the militarization of our police forces?
Should I write about poor hiring practices and/or how the police refuse to police their own?
Should I write about how training needs to be improved?
Should I write about the agencies outside the police force that act in collusion and prevent accountability?
And if I do write about any of these things, what new is there to say?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
RIP Laquan.
