kuchokera Zodabwitsa Zowonongeka
Mwina CHOPA cha Seattle (Capitol Hill Ntchito Yotchinga) sichikhala, koma china chake chikusintha. Gulu lathu ladziko lonse, monga limakhazikika ndi chitsimikizo champhamvu kwambiri m'zaka zana zapitazi ndale zadziko ndi ma TV ofalitsa, akuwoneka kuti akuwonongeka pamaso pathu.
Ndipo gulu likayamba kugundika, chidziwitso chokulirapo chikutseguka. Kuganiza kopita patsogolo kukubwerera njira yolumikizirana, kulola dziko kuti liyambe kudutsa moyenera - mukudziwa, apolisi ankhondo amatitchinjiriza, kusankhana mitundu ndi zinthu zakale, ndi zina zambiri - ndi zina zotheka kuti titha kuyamba kupanga tsogolo zovuta.
Chiyambi chochepa ichi chatulukira kuphedwa kwa apolisi a George Floyd komanso zipolowe zapadziko lonse zomwe zidatsatira. Atolankhani ndi atsogoleri andale komanso mabungwe ambiri, mmalo mogwirizana kuti asamayang'anire otsutsa, monga momwe amachitira m'mbuyomu (mothandizidwa ndi apolisi, kumene), akhala pamenepo mchiyanjano chomangika: Inde, china chake cholakwika. Tiyenera kusintha.
Ndikhulupirireni, sindikunena kuti momwe ndale ziliri mwanjira iliyonse, kapena kuti zosintha ndizosavuta komanso zowonekeratu - chilichonse koma! Komabe. . .
Tiyeni tiwone “kulandidwa” kwaposachedwa kwa malo okhala ndi malo asanu ndi limodzi kumunsi kwa Seattle kotchedwa Capitol Hill. Anthu oyandikana nawo anali malo owonetsera zionetsero za mzindawu ndipo nthawi ina kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa June, mkangano pakati pa apolisi ndi ochita zionetsero, apolisi adasiya zoyang'anira mzindawo. Otsutsa tsopano adalengeza kuti malo aang'ono, opanda zingwe kuti apolisi. Poyambirira limadziwika kuti CHAZ - Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone - m'kupita kwa nthawi linakhala CHOP, la Capitol Hill Occupied Prostate. Deralo linasinthiratu kudziyimira lokhazikika - lokwanira ndi oyendayenda ma paramedics ndi oyang'anira, pamodzi ndi ena ambiri omwe akuchita nawo chidwi - kwa milungu ingapo.
Zinalinso zochitika za angapo kuwombera, chimodzi mwazomwe, mochititsa mantha, zidachititsa kuti mwana wamwamuna wazaka 19, Horace Lorenzo Anderson. Palibe wokayikira yemwe adapezeka.
Kodi kuphedwa kumeneku kudachitika chifukwa choti CHOP idalibe apolisi? Ayi, ayi. Zopweteka panyumba zimachitika nthawi ndi malo omwe zimachitikira, nthawi zonse, kupatula pazochitikazi, m'malo omwe apolisi amayang'anira. Ndipo nthawi zina, zachidziwikire, ziwawa zimachitidwa ndi apolisi omwe. Omwe akuteteza apolisi ndi zomwe akuchita ufulu wandale, kumene, nthawi yomweyo adafuwula kuti "wanena choncho!" Pambuyo pa kupha, kulengeza kuti CHOP yayamba chisokonezo ndi ulamuliro wa gulu, ndipo palibe wotetezeka.
Chodabwitsa ndichakuti ufulu wa Trump wasiyidwa mphodza wokha. Purezidenti akhoza kunena kuti "Achigawenga Achifumu alanda Seattle" ndikuwopseza kuti atumiza asitikali. Koma meya wa Seattle, a Jenny Durkan, abwerera: "Tipulumutseni tonse. Bwerera kumakomo ako. ”
Ndipo atolankhani sananene za CHOP ndi kuchotsedwa komweku, malingaliro a gulu omwe akhala akudziwika ndi. . . oh gosh. . . Nkhondo zathu zapazaka zam'ma 21, zigawo zankhondo zamphesa, zosawerengeka zolakwika zachikhalidwe. China chake ndi chosiyana ndi izi. Kodi nzotheka? Kodi mwina pali zidziwitso - zoonadi, zovuta kuzidziwitso - zomwe zikupezeka patsamba ili zikuwonetsa kusintha kwakusintha?
Mwina ndikupanga zochuluka kwambiri za izi. Koma, mwachitsanzo, izi Washington Post nkhani, yolemba mtolankhani Meryl Kornfield, pakuwombera kwa CHOP. Zinali zopanda lingaliro lamapiko oyenera kuti ochita ziwonetsero anali olakwa ndipo amangowauza mwamtendere, mwachitsanzo, akuti omwe amawombera adatengedwa mwachangu kuchipatala ndi akatswiri othandiza anzawo pangozi. Izi sizinali chipwirikiti cha anthu wamba, mtundu wamtundu wina wokha.
A Kornfield adafunsa munthu wokhala m'mahema wa CHOP, yemwe adati: "Nthawi zambiri akagwira apolisi akagwira nawo ntchito, amamuwombera mfutizo kenako amalowera pamenepo. Izi sizinachitike pano. Mfuti zitangowomberedwa, anthu adachita nawo chidwi, ndipo panali gulu lazachipatala pamalopo nthawi yomweyo. Sitinkafunika kukhala ndi mfuti komanso mfuti zambiri kuti ntchito yathu ithe. ”
Ngakhale zovuta zenizeni za CHOP zimakambidwa momasuka. Mwachitsanzo, wokhala nawo pamalowo adamuuza kuti: "Ndakumana ndi mwana wachichepere yemwe anali ndi mfuti ndipo ndimafuna kuti mnzake awombere ngati chikondwerero. Ndimamuuza kuti sichingakhale chilengedwe chotere; tikufuna kutsutsa. Kugwiritsa ntchito mfuti mwanjira iliyonse kapena mafashoni ena kumabweretsa zosowa komanso zofuna kuti apolisi abwerere. ”
Ndipo panali nkhani mu Seattle Times, pofotokoza gawo limodzi laling'ono la kupezeka kwa CHOP. Wophunzitsa mpira wachinyamata wachinyamata dzina lake Dari Arrington, akufunika malo oti abweretse mkwiyo wake komanso kukhumudwa chifukwa cha kumwalira kwa George Floyd (komanso kuntchito panthawi ya mliri), adapanga projekiti yotchedwa Shoot 4 Change, "pomwe amafunsa anthu kuti apange zofuna zawo kuti zisinthe papepala, ndikumenya ndikuwombera mumtsuko wapulasitiki, "atero mtolankhani Jayda Evans.
Arrington amauza ophunzirawo kuti: "Mukamangotsimikizira zomwe mwalemba, zimayimira mtima wanu. Ndipo mitima ya wina aliyense yomwe yasweka mdziko lapansi chifukwa chisokonezo zambiri zikuchitika. Tonse tili ndi mitima yosweka iyi. Koma zomwe zili mkati mwa mitima yathu ndi uthenga wokongola. Maloto okongola. Chikhumbo chokongola kapena chilichonse. Ndipo ndikufuna anthu azibwera limodzi kuti agwirizane kuti asinthe. ”
Arrington adauza Evans kuti: "Vibe ku CHOP ndiyamtendere komanso wamphamvu. Anthu omwe amalankhula zenizeni za kayendedwe ka Black Lives Matter ndipo zimandipangitsa kuti ndizimva ngati ndili pachiwonetsero pomwe anthu akuyang'ana kuti agwiritse ntchito mawu awo polimbikitsa uthenga wamphamvu. Sakufuna kusiya. Tipitiliza kutero mpaka kusintha kudzachitike. ”
Sizovuta kuphimba bubule yolenga. Chilichonse, chabwino kapena choyipa, chitha kuchitika kuno. Koma apa ndipomwe zidutswa zamtsogolo zikuwombera. CHOP, zikuwoneka, tsopano yatha. Zinali momwe zinaliri nthawi yayitali, kolowera kwa kuthekera, komwe ambiri atolankhani, mwamwayi, adasankha kulemba za iwo m'malo motulutsa.
Mwayi wake ukadalipo.
