Just to name a few of the victims shot by your guns.
246
246 lives lost, just in the months leading up to February 2018, because of your guns.
Not just any 246 lives
246 black lives
I bet you’ll pull your gun on me
when I speak up
but you won’t shoot
Simply because I look like you.
But I am not like you. There’s a major difference between you and me.
I shoot a gun, I get a 25 to life jail sentence.
You shoot a gun, and get away with it.
You are still free.
Simply because you have the badge.
You can take Timothy McVey, Nikolas Cruz, George Zimmerman and Dylann Roof alive,
But not Michael McInnis ?
You shot Mike Brown several times,
Once fatally to the head.
You shot a man nine times
And cuffed him even after he was dead!
Did the man who shot Treyvon Martin ever get convicted?
Of course not
because he was a white!
Even with all the protests,
All the riots
It all changes nothing
Because you are the ones wearing the blue with the badge
Congress wants to take away my rights of choosing what I do with my body
if I’m a murderer for aborting an unborn baby,
what are you?
But you’ve done no wrong because you wear the badge.
You acted in self-defense?
Self defense against what?
A cell phone?
What about those women
who shot their abusive partners in self defense?
Why are they in jail
while you’re still walking free?
Why do they have to be locked in a cell
While you can go on with your life?
America the great?
Liberty and justice for all?
Justice only if you’re white
Especially a white male.
Everyone else is doomed.
