Jerean Blake 17 years old and Aiyana Jones 7 years old killed senselessly
This case is sad on many fronts. It is sad because a young, innocent girl has been killed because someone made the mistake of harbouring an alleged criminal under their roof. It is sad when our children or loved ones commit a wrong but if they have done something wrong then they must face the music. Hiding them out puts the whole family in danger and teach nothing to the criminal.
Had this family not make the fatal mistake of harbouring someone the police is looking for into their home then there would have been no reason for the police to be there.
Secondly, some police officers are trigger-happy and some white police officers are more trigger-happy when when it comes to Black people because of racism and discrimination in the US.
Life is touch for many people in the US and more tough for Black folks but there is no excuse for a life of crime. Crime begets crime and death of innocent people like this beautiful seven year old child. Let's not start on racism and forget why this happened in the first place. Black and white people have to take responsibility for making America safe and an equitable society which will go a long way to creating a safe country.
