DESENSITIZATION, SEAN BELL, & THE NEW STATUS QUO







Although police brutality is nothing new to most Black folks, the access to video cameras have exposed MANY a police officer to whole departments IN ACTION. WE have a responsibility to put an end to this.

The judge in the Sean Bell case had the most recent opportunity to MAKE AN EXAMPLE of some rogue police. But instead, NOTHING. Can 50 shots EVER be an accident?

Ever since the infamous Rodney King video (and acquittal of ALL officers involved), Americans have been constantly desensitized to what this actually represents.

Events like the one above sets the new status quo. Police state, anyone? If this doesn't outrage you, then practice your silence again when you become the victim.

WHITE PEOPLE: YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS!!!

ISN'T AMERICA BETTER THAN THIS? I DON'T THINK SO!
