What Do You See? A Bias Reality Check.....

I don't know what this young girl did prior to this portion of the video and I don't know who this young girl Assaulted, Raped or Murdered.

I can only speak to the portion of the video that I first saw today.

This is what I see: Officer Ben Fields at Spring Valley High School in Columbia’s Richland County, S.C., slamming a Young Black Female High School Student to the ground and then dragging her out of the classroom in a very violent manner.

I also see an officer who has been charged once and exonerated for using excessive force before, and an officer who has been sued by a Young Black Soldier who was attacked in the same manner who lost his case, and is still fighting to recover funds as a result of the violent attack that he suffered at the hands of this same officer.

Now I know that there are always 3 sides to every story; and that the truth is usually somewhere in the middle between the truth and the lie. But one indisputable fact that cannot be denied is, that far too many Law Enforcement Officers who have viciously attacked African Americans or Killed them have had previous behaviors in their files either from another police department of from the same police department. And although I am not an expert on these matters, my common sense tells me that maybe; just maybe, removing these people from the force who have been found to have a propensity towards committing these kinds of confirmed violent acts on multiple occasions being removed from the force ASAP, might just be a major part of the solution to this problem.

Granted, Law Enforcement Officers do have a very difficult and dangerous job, and they deserve our support and trust when they are using the law to make society a better place.

However, when they are committing Violent Criminal Acts and using their Uniform, Position of Authority and their shields as an excuse to be Hateful Racists who know that they can Hunt and Kill using all the aforementioned assets, then those people are Criminals and Not Law Enforcement Officer, and should be dealt with as such.

People who commit crimes are haunted for life even after they have changed their lives for the better for years and years, and are never allowed to have all of their rights restored ever!

If this is how people who have made a conscious decision to change their lives for the better for themselves and their families,to become contributing members of society, then Law Enforcement Officers should be held to the same standard as every other American Citizen.
