Just recently, a shooting happened in Tulsa. However, this was no incident or hate crime, or maybe it is. A deputy is charged for shooting and killing an unarmed black man. The deputy claims that he meant to pull out his taser and instead, he shot the man accidentally. The victim was black and was unarmed. The deputy can face at least four years in prison, however his lawyer has said that he was just doing his duties and it was a mistake and fate that he pulled out his gun instead of his taser.
When does all this stop? It just so happens that the victim is a black man, again. This is like Ferguson all over again, when will people learn. I think that black lives matter, and so does blue lives. But where is the fine line? Where is the justice? The deputy's lawyer has said that he feels very upset and sad over the matter. Very upset and mad? He should be in destitute right now, felling remorseful. Not upset and sad. You get upset and sad when you can't get what you want, or when you lose something. You don't get upset and mad over "accidentally" killing someone.
