TRIGGER WARNING: discusses shooting and brutality
When the three children in the car
grow up, all they will remember
is the horrifying echoes
of seven bullets --
seven bullets that sounded like a
thousand that hammered into their father. A merciless act. Inhumane.
When they grow up and they see
shimmering uniforms under the sunlights, the light will sting their
eyes and they - they will shiver. Their subconcious will awaken. Their throats constrict and another thousand bullets echo in their ears.
Trust in the justice system?
A bullet-ridden heart knows no justice.
And when the three children all grow up, they will remember the pain that flashed across their father's eyes as every inch of him suffered in agony -
agony brought upon him merely because of what he was outside. No fault of his had snatched away his whole life in front of his eyes.
And in front of his children's eyes.
When the three children grow up,
they will remember.
They will remember the failing of their own motherland that had crippled their father.
They will remember.

We need justice. Justice for Jacob Blake. Justice for every single person before him who has suffered injustice.
We need justice for the blind, repeated acts of violence that is unjust and blatantly cruel.
We need justice.
