People say Jerame Reid was murdered, and conservatives say, “If he had obeyed the police, he wouldn’t have been shot.”
Maybe man’s law says if the cop feels a little bit scared he can just empty his clip into someone. But that’s not God’s standard. Anyone who shoots an unarmed man who isn’t even attacking is a murderer. These cops may evade justice in a country with unjust laws, but they won’t evade God’s justice. The blood of Mr. Reid will cry out from the ground to God for justice. If cops are so skittish and afraid, maybe they should become hairdressers.
The other thing conservatives say about this is, “He had a gun in his car.”
Guns are legal in this country. Conservatives are supposed to be pro Second Amendment. If having a gun in your car is worthy of police freaking out, I hope conservatives never get pulled over.
I’m tired of people being murdered by police. I’m tired of being forced to pay for substandard, government police services. I’m tired of the double standards of conservatives. I’m tired of liberals seeing that socialist-funded police services are substandard yet asking for more socialist-funded services.
Here’s a podcast from Bojidar Marinov that is related to this issue and is well-worth listening to.
