I was looking at all the incident that spur the black lives matter movement, many of which had killings caught on camera. Yet none of the perpetrators was ever convicted of the crime they had committed. Most of them were not even indicted for the killing.
It is extremely rare for any police abuse to lead to indictment, let alone conviction. The only exception I can recall was a conviction of an ethnic Chinese NYPD rookie cop who accidentally shot a victim in the dark stairway during an official police operation. But this was more an accident and was not even a racially motivated killing.
- Acquitted for the shooting of Trayvon Martin (17 years old)
Darren Wilson - did not indict for Shooting of Michael Brown
Daniel Pantaleo - did not indict for Shooting of Eric Garner
Timothy Loehmann - did not indict for Shooting of Tamir Rice (12-years old)
Does the US not respect black human lives, let alone black human rights?
Politicians would always voice their outrage each time and promise to reform the law enforcement agencies. But all odd these has been lip services without any tangible action and result. Hence, the tragedy keeps repeating itself.
I suggest the US to respect the human rights of the Black people within the US first.
Similarly, war crimes committed by US military personnel have pretty much gone unpunished.
US does not have much standing in lecturing anyone about human rights since they have failed miserably in their deeds.
