In my country tonight there is one topic and one topic only being discussed. The grand jury finding that relieved Officer Darren Wilson from all charges related to the death of an unarmed black boy named Michael Brown. I am seeing social media going crazy tonight with people throwing out their opinions. Many people are speaking about the findings of the grand jury and making judgments on that based solely on "evidence" they have seen through a biased source. Many others are calling out the hundreds of thousands that have taken to the streets across the entire country in protest. Media is throwing out the "whoever smelt it, dealt it" excuse for racism, claiming race is only talked about by racists...
I am here to express one thing that I think is universal to most of our societies. There are too many incidents where unarmed citizens are killed at the hands of police. The continuous action of acquitting officers of all responsibility in these events is unacceptable. There has got to become some sort of accountability to the people we allow to take authority over our lives on demand, or we have got to demand back that authority. I know no facts about this case, and will not seek any out. I am not interested in passing judgement. But I will protest the continued INACTION to prevent the next incident. We all deserve to be here on this earth, and no person of authority should find it as easy as history has proven, to take that liberty away from you. It is time that we demand systematic change, so that our police forces are incapable of ending the lives of ANY innocents, even accidentally.
So tonight my thoughts are toward equality and understanding, and I wish to show that by ceasing attacks of any kind on active players for the next 48 hours, and inviting any players I have any sort of "beef" with a clean slate, and an honest attempt at understanding. This is a game, and we make some things bigger than just the game, it can be entertaining, but it can be emotionally draining as well. There are serious things in our world that deserve more attention than we give them.
