Does 'No Indictment' Signify A Pass To Purge?

After watching the recent events of "no indictments" unfold in the cases of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, the pattern of unjust actions almost seem intentional.

Moreover, as we delve deeper into the evidence of the two cases we discover things that we've never heard before; regarding Brown's case we now know that officer Darren Wilson was allowed to drive his police car back to base all while still handling the gun that in fact killed the now deceased victim, and was even allowed to put the gun in the evidence bag himself -- something that's totally unusual in these cases.

Since there's physical evidence (photos) that show Darren Wilson hovering over the body of Michael Brown after he was savagely gunned down, and since Wilson was allowed to handle all evidence from the scene of the crime, then wouldn't it be easier for him to tamper with the evidence? Like couldn't he have taken some of Brown's blood and smeared it inside of his police car, so that his story of Michael fighting with him inside of his vehicle seems valid? 

It was also said that Wilson was able to wash blood off of his hands before being forced to go to the hospital. But if Wilson shot Brown from 35 feet away, why would he have blood on his hands?

In the case of Eric Garner whose death was ruled a homicide -- his killing received no indictment although the entire murder was caught on camera. How is one's death ruled a homicide but then the killer isn't charged with the act of killing?




Although these deaths were unwarranted we must comprehend that they happened for a reason; the pain and sacrifice of the families are obviously more than any of us could ever imagine but their deaths will not be in vain. 

Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, Tamir Rice, Darrien Hunt, John Crawford, Sean Bell, Amadou Diallo, Lamar Jones, and the countless others who've either lost their lives or been severely hurt by the hands of police officers who have an agenda, please know that your lives mattered and even in death they still matter. 

Your names will forever be tied to a legacy of defiant change and due to your involuntary sacrifices of life, you will give new life to this nation that has risen up in a way that hasn't been seen since the 1960's. 

Let's be clear; no indictment means no justice but it's also a fundamental understanding to millions of Americans that we (the human race) must stand up in the face of adversity in order to bring about the justice that we seek. No indictment also gives this country an opportunity to have a long overdue conversation about racism in America; the big "elephant" in the room. 

(We) comprehend that it isn't enough to put all of our trust in a system that has constantly objectified minorities in this country for far to long, because it is the "system" that is rotten to the core. It has been allowed to reign oppressively and discriminatorily for centuries, and the recent "no indictment" actions were like pulling the band-aid off an old wound while picking at the scab "intentionally" to make it bleed. 

Well, the bleeding has begun...in the form of protests, organized structures built to mobilize people to vote, and the media spending countless hours on the ground making sure that the revolution is televised. 

As for when the bleeding will stop? I guess that'd be left to our adversaries to decide. 

Reverend Joseph Lowery, said it best in his inaugural benediction in 2009; "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in the back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."
