I had to talk about this somewhere. These stories hurt so bad. I saw this when scrolling through my Facebook timeline today and my heart dropped just as it has when anyone has been hurt in all of this senseless violence.
Here is a link to the story.
From what I read, a therapist was helping a patient who was sitting in the street. The patient was holding a toy truck. When the police arrived, the therapist told them neither of them were armed and he laid on the ground with his hands up.
He was not resisting. Not arguing. But, he was shot 3 times in the leg.
How does this happen?!
The article goes on to state that when the therapist asked the officer why he shot him that the officer responded that he didn't know.
I have seen so many posts about these shootings saying that we, as black people, need to learn how to deal with officers and these shootings wouldn't happen if we were respectful. However, if that were in any way true, then what happened here?!
The response to that could be an entirely different article.
My heart bleeds for all of these stories of hatred. There have been so many senseless killings of people of all walks of life, not just in our country but in other countries as well.
All we can do is continue in prayer and continue to spread love to as many people as possible and never differentiate because of race, profession, or any other outer differences.
