An old selfie of someone we don't even know shouldn't bring us to tears, should it? [contextly_sidebar id="CSCuvksWyoBheDGy7sILotZNEsxdEgjb"]A grand jury in Waller County, Texas, has decided against issuing any indictments in the death of Sandra Bland, the African-American woman who
A few months before leaving us, social activist Sandra Bland recorded a video declaring "War on Gang-bangers and Thugs" who she believes have negatively impacted her quality of life as well as harming peaceful people in her community and many American communities.
Essentially Sandra was speaking about our expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Childhood Abuse and Neglect*, aka *Poverty*, that for more than two generations has deprived untold numbers of American kids from experiencing a fairly happy American kid childhood with Safe Streets to travel and play on.
Child Abuse and Neglect that is primarily responsible for our prisons and far too many American communities being populated by depressed, angry, frustrated, undisciplined, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults (NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers) full of resentment for irresponsibly being introduced to a life of hardships and struggles.
*Early Childhood Abuse and Neglect* that often leads depressed, sometimes suicidal children to develop into depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for others, though needing to vent their pent up negative emotions, often causing emotional and physical harm to peaceful people...instead of venting their resentment and pain on the immature single moms and/or dads who introduced them to a life of pain and struggle by irresponsibly building a family before acquiring the practical skills, PATIENCE and means to successfully raise and nurture a developing young child who matures into a fairly happy responsible teen and adult.
Did anyone hear or seriously consider Sandra's passionate plea for peace...or listen to Sandra's other videos calling for peace and unity?
If Americans sincerely wish to reduce police fear and anxiety that sometimes leads to police misconduct and/or aggression, the question all concerned, compassionate Americans should seriously be asking ourselves, our elected, civil, social, community and religious leaders is, "What real substantial changes in our society's attitude and laws need to occur to prevent abuse that often causes young kids to mature into depressed, frustrated, angry teens and adults as a result of experiencing the *emotional and/or physical trauma of an abusive childhood?"*

This investigation turned out as I expected. Not surprisingly, being arrested and thrown in jail for no reason other than the way you look is REALLY FUCKING DEPRESSING.
he wuzn't a cop, just a wannabe (another example of a jury being given convoluted instructions for finding whether or not white perp-- I mean, defendant is guilty of obscure technicality irrespective of the actual grievous action.)
That's a mighty big "If"and of the cops I know none of them do. Yes yes small sample size and my bias, not all cops are reactionary dipshits, or so I am told.
Please, please secede already!
never going to happen...TEXASSS just loves the federal teat too much

Aren't you late for a Stormfront meeting? Do the police need to kill someone you know personally for this to be real for you?
Even Arlo Guthrie was -- for littering! (and creating a nuisance)...

But sure plays a mean pinball.
Well stop changing your avatar! It's like you expect me to actually read user names or something!
How did he fight fires without any guns???!!
Unpossible. It can't be done.
This continues to be a very sad and frustrating story.
Thanks mom and dad for being white and not poor
This is the one story that just makes me sick to my stomach. Horrifying.

Impunity is becoming a pattern here.
