Sean Bell
Why?
We may not be here for long, but until The Lord comes back for us, we’re stuck on this earth, dealing with or hearing about daily injustice in the world.
Case in point, Sean Bell.
Some may argue, he shouldn’t have been at the club, but that’s not a good argument, since less than two months ago, there was a church shooting, right here in the US.
Some may argue, he was no saint, but show me one Christian who is qualified to throw stones, and I’ll say they must be Jesus, ’cause Christ is the only one who walked this earth without sin.
It saddens me whenever someone dies for some reason other than natural causes. What makes Sean’s case particularly sad:
A) He was a young black man (and there’s a dwindling supply of that).
B) He was engaged to be married.
C) He left a young daughter who can now only learn of her father thru other people.
I’m particularly angry, because his blood was shed at the hands of those who signed up for and are paid to protect and serve.
There’s no way I’ll ever be convinced that the police were justified in this shooting. They killed a young man and sought to justify it. The judge went along with it and now we have to live it.
Growing up in Los Angeles, I thought the LAPD was crooked, but now I realize, evil is where you find it.
