I know that there is nothing anyone can say to Tamire Rices mother to besiege her anger or Sadness. A mistake is a mistake, sometimes mistakes come with dire consequences. Accountability is a TWO SIDED STREET. Now, I've never had any love for cops or police departments, I spent years as a career criminal and outlaw biker. But I also always recognized my own accountability in the actions I took ESPECIALLY when it came to incarceration. Police had a job to do, get me off the streets.. I tried to avoid getting caught.. There were bad cops, certainly there were. Dirty cops were Bad Cops. But then I had. Choices... if I jumped out of a car with a gun, I would EXPECT to be fired upon. If I had a car chase I would EXPECT a bad outcome. I remained ACCOUNTABLE for my actions. If I don't want to get shot by an over zealous cop I WILL COMPLY. If I had a weapon I told them I had it and I kept my fingered interlocked on my head. And certainly things still may happen, If you don't want to get shot don't force the cop to make that choice. I don't know if they will be AS ACCOUNTABLE as I am, but if you watch what's going on in the world right now it's a complete LACK OF COMMON SENSE if you think that attacking a cop will have a positive outcome. If you're being questioned and you want to be belligerent.. THERES AN OUTCOME to that behaviour.
Criminals.. BE ACCOUNTABLE.., COPS be ACCOUNTABLE and if you have a choice to comply or attack UNDERSTAND that it has CONSEQUENCES.
