When someone is killed, few things tell you more about how the the person who did the killing thinks and feels about the deceased than what they choose to do in the immediate aftermath of the killing itself.
For instance, when Michael Dunn, after shooting and killing teenager Jordan Davis, went back to his hotel room, ordered himself a pizza, fixed a Coke and rum, and went to bed, it gives us a glimpse into the peculiar mindset of the killer—who has since been convicted for his crime.
Scott Peterson, immediately after killing his pregnant wife, Laci, "went fishing," came back home, took a shower, washed his clothes, and, coincidentally, also ate some pizza. On its face, his behavior was out of the ordinary and we later learned that his "fishing trip" was to dump Laci's body, which later washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay.
In real life, or any every television crime drama told for the past 30 years, what a killer does in the immediate aftermath of the killing is extremely telling. It reveals either concern or callousness, sincere compassion or selfishness, humanity or depravity.
As new and extremely troubling details emerge concerning the moments immediately after the shooting deaths of Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, and Eric Garner at the hands of local police, it would only be fair to wonder aloud what we can learn from the actions, or lack thereof, of the officers who killed these unarmed men.
What you will see, in each case, is that the officers demonstrated what can only be called criminal and unethical neglect for human life. Follow below the fold for more.
everyone reacts differently when they experience or are involved in a traumatic exchange where one does not get to tell their story, if no witnesses than any contrivance can be made in some cities even if the coroner disagrees or in fact if there were witnesses still it can go the way of the one who is the killer recent acts make that a factual statement. but do we really know what goes on in the head of a racist killer who kills one that they are intolerant of. what about those who seem to be in that zone and just keep on beating and firing does a rum and coke and a cigar do it or does it magnify the hate within firing them for the next time?
CONCLUSION
These three cases were by no means chosen because they are the only three cases on record in which police officers exhibited a willful lack of regard for their victims, but because these all happened in the latter half of this year. Sadly, scores of similar cases exist all over the country and it is nearly unfathomable to imagine police officers, or any human beings with half a heart, behaving this way with anyone they loved or cherished.
Instead of conveying positive emotions of any kind, quite the opposite effect, in fact, is conveyed to African Americans when victims of police violence are treated with the regard one would give a dead rodent. It must be accepted by the wider public that these post-tragedy behaviors only fuel the narrative that racism, be it subconscious or otherwise, is what allows those chosen to protect and serve do anything but.
hear, hear this is the mindset that is the problem when we learn how to get those of that mindset to admit it and seek help in dealing with it we will continue on this same path another problem most of that mindset don't want to change or literally deal with it.
