(No) Changes

My new city's so pretty. Just still super racist.

So, super upset yesterday about not indicting any of the officers involved in the illegal chokehold death of Eric Garner. In my new city. A major metropolis. In fact, arguably THE major metropolis in our country. Pretty much, I read the news at work and had so many emotions at once that I almost couldn't go back. With Ferguson, it was expected. That's a backwater town in Missouri, I didn't think a grand jury would indict, but here? In NYC? With footage showing at least 5 cops jumping onto Garner FROM A BODY CAM? With the coroner stating that the COD was negligent homicide? Not even a manslaughter conviction? This country is a joke and I'm really getting worried that there are going to need to be riots and revolutions for anything to change.

Pissed. Upset. Angry. Devastated. Confused. Disappointed.

Jon Stewart said it best. Thank you for your raw, emotional look at this bullshit.
