Life matters

LIFE MATTERS.

These are two words not so long ago did not have a meaning like they do now. Too many people are losing their family members due to senseless violence, and this has to stop.

 It should not matter what race you are, what color you are or what clothing you wear; you are someone’s family member and have a right to walk down the street and not fear being shot, mugged or assaulted for wearing  “gang affiliated clothing on your person”

 

Too many officers are being shot at or killed for doing their job, for protecting their community from harm's way. Just today I read about two officers that where shot. Is this what society has come to? Where the protect and serve can no longer protect and serve?   Where the gangs run the city, and ruin lives?

 

We all say, “let’s take back our city, let’s show these gangs what we are made of,” but do we really? When the time comes down to the day, where we are picketing to stop violence where are you?

When we are standing our grounds, where are you? When we have a rally to improve our city, where are you?

 

Are you sitting at home saying, “ wow wish someone would do something to improve things, what a shame, and turn the channel? Are you hiding at home behind locked doors, not willing to answer the door, in fear of who it might be?

 We need to take a step back and say “WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE” We need to stand up to what we believe in, and take back our city.

 

I’m not just saying the city that you and I live in; I’m saying, “TAKE BACK AMERICA”

Every city, we need to have a clean up day, like we do with trash, and clean up our cities. And put them away.

I know that doing this is easier said than done, and the police are doing more than they can to combat the violence, and are stretched to their breaking point. But instead of sitting at home wishing all of this would just magically disappear, how about having a voice, standing up for your rights, letting your vote count, or at least telling your state officials “you're not going to take it anymore, and fight back”
