Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Love and Respect
Sean Bell would have turned 25 tomorrow. What a loss of potential greatness. Listening to the roll call of fallen victims of senseless police brutality throughout our nation is indeed a serious wake-up call. During this morning's Action Rally, Rev. cited numerous cases that should have made us all ashamed at the tactics that are used daily against members of our community. The 92 year old woman who was shot 100 times then who almost became the victim of dirty policing by the way of planted evidence is SICKENING!! Thank God there are still some who believe in and wear the badge with dignity and honor as my dad did; these are the ones who will stand up for justice in an unjust system. We have got to stand up for something or we will fall for everything. As James Brown said in Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees!" Come on Black America and throughout the diaspora, GET OFF OF YOUR KNEES!
