A Little Girl Died That Day

Hey, let's talk about something for a moment. Reality television sensationalizes the worst aspects of human behaviour and, in conjunction with Detroit police, ultimately, a little girl is dead.  The SWAT point man blames the little girl for the accident, citing also a struggle with the aunt.  Why did he have an MP5 submachine gun pointed at a 7-year-old girl's head?

To make matters more complicated for this already tragic case, the videographer refused to release the footage of the incident.  If this girl was white, this case would have received widespread attention, dominating all the networks and there probably wouldn't have been a mistrial.

What do you think?

Sadly, the life of a wonderful little soul was taken unjustly and no one seems to give a damn.  Typical racism.  Typical America.  I'm disgusted and ashamed.

How do we change this cycle of violence?
