The law has many legalities, rules and policies. You don’t really think of the law much and how it works until you’re a victim or the perpetrator of a committed crime, heinous or otherwise. Feelings are felt individually although the outcry can be in unison the pain is ultimately felt by the individual, the receiver.

Corporal Eric Casebolt of Mckinney PD in Texas, all the way in the US of A has again put the policing of blacks/African Americans back in the spotlight. Well, to be fair he wasn’t aware he was being filmed at the time, but the issue of policing Africans in the States has been under a lot of scrutiny, I mean with the death of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Walter Scott who were just black teenagers gunned down by white police officers in the 21^st century, wait… Make that 2015.

You watch the news surrounding the incident that took place at the pool party in Mckinney and you don’t have to know the law to delineate the course of action the officer had to take. Before I even understood what the entire video was about I knew it had just gone viral and being a social media entrepreneur and in my own right, expert. I didn’t think twice about watching it, I was first and foremost shocked at how the officer as the clip begins, he just bolts into the scene like a crime fighter from an 80’s action thriller, trips himself, keeps it together and he starts targeting all the black male teenagers.

Now, I need to be clear about a few things here, I don’t condone criminal behavior whether or not a black or white person committed it. But my instincts tell me that all drunk teenagers, black or white should be treated with the same amount of force or restraint in situation where they are acting disorderly. In this video you see officer Casebolt bolt from one end of the block to the other, running past white kids, I mean the kid filming the entire thing was in the middle of all this, when the cop was yelling profanities to children ordering them to leave, but of cause knowing young people they will protest, it’s in the nature of young people everywhere, yes even in Africa, LOL!

I live in a country that knows it all too well, the oppression of one by another due to the colour of skin. We called it apartheid , well I don’t know who came up or what kind of word that is but, all I know is that it meant you are blacks are inferior to your white counterparts, but fvck that we know it’s not true anymore. We are all created equal. African Americans in a country ran by an “African American” are treated far worse it a judicial system that screams equality for all.

After the Baltimore riots, you can sense that the minority has had enough of this unprecedented treatment of young people and the tension is rising. Tupac, The NWA and some of their peers at the time said “Fuck the police” there was uproar from government officials about this statement which was supported mostly by music that incited gang affiliation or violence. There even was an incident in 1993 where Shakur was incarcerated for shooting 2 police officers who were assaulting a black male.

The police commissioner at Mckinney County responds to almost every question in the press conference with, “we’ll conduct a full investigation”. Conducting full investigations has not solved how white officers police young African Americans in their own country. Will President Obama intervene? Only time will tell.
