We need to Fix this, America...

Today is the Fourth of July, and Houston, we have a problem....

This event is the sort of outrage that is happening to black citizens.  Do you like that this fear is what million of American Parents live with? I don't.....

Buried in the news.. From the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/police-attacked-me-for-stealing-a-car-it-was-my-own/2018/06/29/86829292-7658-11e8-b4b7-308400242c2e_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5da687180400

 I've eschewed Politics; but this is Civil Rights. Human Rights.  And it's right here, right  now. 

"This isn’t the story that I expected to be telling at this point in my life, having just received my doctorate from one of the top schools in the country. The bigger story of my life is growing up without knowing my father, losing my mother to illness when I was 8 and becoming a ward of the state.

Many people — black and white — stepped up to serve as mother, father, sister and brother to me. I persisted. The day after my foster mother kicked me out because I refused to join the National Guard, I applied to Stanford University and got in. After four years, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.

I’ve done everything in my power to defy the odds. Yet I feel as though I’m forever going to have to explain myself. As for the arresting officers, are they doing any explaining? Will they have to answer for the rest of their lives for their decision to wrestle me to the ground, pummel me and charge me with a crime?

A fellow student’s impulsive action and her hasty decision to call the police have put all of my hard work in jeopardy. The arrest, the charges and the trial — a scarlet letter to go with the dark brown skin that I will wear for the rest of my life."

Think about it.  Think HARD about it.  It happens far too often, and it's happened in San Diego in the past.
