So today there is this watered down version of a march on Washington to honor the 57th anniversary of MLK's march.....at that march will be Botham Jean's sister -- and it made me wonder, has there ever been an unarmed black man that didn't deserve to get shot by police??
Usually whenever a black man is shot -- there is this rush to find out how can we justify it by perhaps investigating his past -- most of the time, there is something someone can find to justify it....to me, Botham Jean was the closest to countering this "he was no angel" defense....I can't think of many others tho...
Walter Scott was shot in the back, but he was running from the police..so he kinda brought it on himself..
Eric Garner was selling lose cigs, was in poor health -- which resulted in his death..
Jordan Edwards was a teen leaving a party that police were called to break up...yea, the cop recklessly shot into the car and killed Jordan, but Jordan was no angel because he was supposed to be home, not at some party..
John Crawford was walking around Walmart with a bb-gun that he should have known would scare people...so he kinda deserved it...
Tamir Rice was at a park with a toy gun that he should have known would scare people...so he also deserved it...
And we all know George Floyd and most recently Jacob Blake deserved it....even the young woman that I thought would be a no-brainer, Breonna Taylor -- even some can argue she deserved it....
So besides Botham Jean, is there really any black who didn't deserve to be shot?
