I think the issue many black people are having is these family members are forgiving these murderous cops in PUBLIC.
IMO that does send the wrong message. Anybody is free to forgive whomever they choose for how they were wronged but when the issue is so much more bigger than you personally its just not going to sit well with some people for that to be done out in the open like that.
I think that is the issue Tariq Nasheed and other black people are having. At the same time Tariq and others who feel like that need to word their disagreements with these peoples actions in a better manner. Cause Tariq and many others can and will make themselves look real fucked up to people in how they voice their disagreements with a grieving mother.
I loved your perspective. You seem to get it. However forgiving someone you murdered your family is some weak shit no matter how you slice it, but like you said, if you choose to be weak KEEP THAT TO YOURSELF Going on TV saying that not only makes the person look pathetic, it also shows to white people that we can continually be abused and won't do anything about it. Just to be clear everyone has their own sense of justice, so I won't go into that topic. Like I said, it's weak and pathetic and we're in an era where we're getting picked off. (Not that this wasn't happening before.) There is no room for weakness.
If you believe everyone has their sense of justice then how do you know what they're doing in private? There's nothing pathetic about a grieving parent mourning the loss of their child. Of course they feel weak at that moment. They just witnessed their child be killed and now have to deal with it on a pubic forum and navigate a bunch of vultures trying to make a name using their pain as a boost for it.

Grieving is not pathetic. That's understandable. Forgiving someone for murdering your love one is.

And for some part of the grieving process is forgiveness. Like it's been said this situation is a whole lot easier to judge when you and your family haven't been through it. It's easier to talk shit when you don't have to see this shit played out in your own family

We'll agree to disagree.
