My skin color is not a crime.

We have all seen the video by now, of a white cop using  force to hold down a 14 year old Black girl in a bikini at a pool party and pulling out his gun against two Black boys who came over to help the girl. Why do some people think it's ok to talk, touch or rule over people of a different color any way they want? I watched the footage of the officer forcing this girl down, and sitting on top of her as she cried out for her mother. That could have been my child, that could have been me.
Why was the story of  two white women (who many confirmed were making racial comments and attacking the teens) believed  by the police instead of the officers coming in and asking questions?

Where is the justice that is promised us as all Americans? Of course not everyone is this way. I have lots of family members on the police force. How hard it must be for them to see these stories and not react.  What can we do? We must protest, we must vote, we must stand united together for the greater good.
