About Ray Sanchez’ “Protesting police shootings: demanding for change sound out nationwide”
"Sound." If protesting
police shootings is of sound then the behavior of reformist individuals
are not good for their ends. They have not studied, they have not made
much, they have not done well to solve their problems. Sound implies
talk only. For many decades, these people have made protests in favor of
their ends for the purpose of making change but they have not formed a
concrete party. Therefore, their demands are made seem petty.
With reference to “nationwide,” their effect is not good in aggregate.
"Invoking the familiar
names of black men who died at the hands of police, thousands marched
throughout the nation on Saturday to protest what they see as rampant
racial injustice."
"Familiar." If the protests are of "familiar," then family is
implied. A group of black men died at the hands of police, they protest
what they see as rampant racial injustice - but in doing so they make a
rampage as well. "Protest." If a protest is made then it is ultimately
pointless. It makes them feel good but that is only temporary and really
the problem is not racial unity.
"The throngs — young and old, black and white — took to the
streets in major cities, including New York. In Washington, a crowd of
thousands snaked up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.”
"Black and white," "young and old." Both groups of them do
not seem to be scientists. I have not read of many scientists that
protest the shootings. So their claims are less credible than those
argued by scientists. If their claims are less credible than those
argued by scientists then the protests are less worthy.
"Relatives of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric
Garner and other unarmed black men felled by bullets or police force
filled a podium in Washington."
”Unarmed.” If people that are unarmed are getting hurt then
they were wrong. If they were wrong then they do not deserve that much
respect. If they do not deserve much respect then they should likely be
executed. If it is likely that they should be executed then their
problems aren’t important.
"This is a history-making moment," said Gwen Carr, whose son,
Eric Garner, died after a police officer put him in a chokehold. "It’s
just so overwhelming to see all who have come to stand with us. Look at
the masses — black, white, all races, all religions. … We need to stand
like this at all times."
“Stand.” These people came to Washington to stand. If they
went to Washington to stand then they wasted their time. If they wasted
their time then their efforts are not as important as others. If their
efforts are not as important as others then they are not very great. It
does not seem like a history-making moment. Therefore, I do not care
about their efforts.
“Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, a teenager
killed in Ferguson, Missouri, marveled at the crowds.”What a sea of
people,” she said. “If they don’t see this and
make a change, then I don’t know what we got to do.”Kadiatou
Diallo, whose son Amadou was shot 41 times by four New York police
officers in 1999, held up a Time magazine cover about her son’s slaying.
The officers were prosecuted on second-degree murder and other charges
but were acquitted by a jury.”
“Shot 41 times.” “Magazine cover about her son’s slaying.” If
her son got shot 41 times and her mother is holding up a “time
magazine” cover then they are very weak. Their attempts to argue for
their movement is not good. If their attempts to argue for their
movement is not good then it is likely that they will not go through.
They want less racial
tensions. There do not seem to be many racial tensions actually. There
is interracial marrying, there is interracial groupings, on television
and on the street and the president of the US is black. Therefore, there
isn’t much racial tensions. They are arguing for pointless ends.
"Today, 15 year later, we are standing together and demanding
the same thing," she said of police brutality. "Think about that for a
moment. Think about all the young men taken from us."
“Think.” It seems that
many of these people do not think. There aren’t many scientists arguing
for the case of these guys. If many of these people do not think then
they are not good. If they are not good then they do not deserve to be
as alive.
If they would like to
have their attempts to make better lives for themselves then they should
become scientists. Their lives would be more worthy then. The rest of
the article just describes the same thought.
