This week there were two black men shot by policemen for no good reason. One was in his car reaching for his license which the policeman had asked him for. His girlfriend was sitting next to him and her little girl was in the back seat. The woman couldn't even comfort her boyfriend as he lay dying because the cop kept his gun out and made her keep her hands up. The man is dead. You know what they were pulled over for? A broken tail light.
The second was held a black man being held on the ground by two cops who decided to shoot him while he was down.
Why do they have to pull their guns so fast?
The second reason I'm sad is because I have a large lump in my breast. I forgot my appointment last year and it took me forever to call to get another appointment. I kept pushing the reminder forward.
I found the lump the day they called me to tell me I needed to come in for a diagnostic exam. Good times. I cried, then I made terrible jokes. Like, well I have really wanted to lose weight and I would automatically lose 10 pounds if I got both boobs cut off. Well, that's just how I cope.
Now the next morning there is yet another reason to be sad.
Last night at a peaceful rally in Dallas Texas snipers shot 12 policemen and 2 bystanders. Five policeman died.
