Monga Kulungamitsidwa ndi Kulondola Popereka Lipoti akunena, mpaka kanema wapolisi waku South Carolina a Michael Slager akupha Walter Scott, atolankhani anali kunena mabodza opangidwa ndi apolisi: ndewu yomwe siinachitikepo, mboni zomwe kulibe, wozunzidwayo akutenga taser wapolisi, ndi zina zotero. Mabodzawo adagwa chifukwa kanema adawonekera.
Ndimadzifunsa kuti chifukwa chiyani makanema oponya mivi akuwomba ana mu tizidutswa tating'ono sangathe kusungunula nkhani zomwe Pentagon idatulutsa. Ndili ndi ziyeneretso zingapo, ndikuganiza kuti gawo la yankho ndiloti palibe mavidiyo okwanira. Kumenyera ufulu wojambula mavidiyo apolisi kunyumba ku United States kuyenera kutsagana ndi kampeni yopereka makamera amakanema kwa anthu omwe akufuna kumenya nkhondo. Zachidziwikire kuti kulimbana kojambula pavidiyo anthu akufa pansi pa kampeni yophulitsa mabomba ndizovuta kwambiri monga kujambula kanema wapolisi wakupha, koma makamera okwanira angapange zithunzi.
Palinso mbali zina ku yankho komanso, ndithudi. Chimodzi ndi chocholoŵana, chokulitsidwa ndi kusokoneza mwadala. Kufotokozera za nkhondo yomwe ilipo ku Yemen, a Washington Post amapeza wina woti agwire mawu akuti, "palibe amene angadziwe yemwe adayambitsa ndewuyi kapena kuti athetse bwanji."
Zoona? Palibe? Wolamulira wankhanza wachiwiri wokhala ndi zida za US mzaka zingapo zapitazi wagonjetsedwa ndi zigawenga zopatsidwa mphamvu zotsutsa ulamuliro wankhanza wa US. Izi pambuyo pa munthu waku Yemeni adanena a Congress ku US pamaso pawo kuti kumenyedwa kwa ndege za US kumalimbikitsa zigawenga. Ulamuliro wina wokulirapo wa zida zankhondo zaku US ku Saudi Arabia wayamba kuphulitsa bomba ndikuwopseza kulanda, monga momwe zinalili ku Bahrain komwe kuli ndi zida zankhondo zaku US. Zida za Saudi US zikuwononga milu ya zida za Yemeni US, ndipo palibe amene angadziwe?
Nawa ana ena aku US akubisala ku ma nukes aku Soviet zaka zambiri zapitazo, ndipo mwana waku Yemeni akubisala kumenyedwa kwa ndege zaku US posachedwa (gwero). Kodi izi zokha sizimaimba mlandu aliyense?
Nawa zithunzi ndi nkhani za ana osalakwa omwe anaphedwa ndi ma drones aku US ku Yemen. Kodi izi sizikuimba mlandu aliyense?
Kupitilira pazovuta komanso zosokoneza komanso kulungamitsidwa kwa zongoyerekeza komanso mafotokozedwe omveka ngati "kuwonongeka kwachikole," pali vuto lopangitsa anthu aku America kuti awononge anthu akutali. Koma boma la US lachita mantha ndi lingaliro lotulutsa zithunzi ndi makanema ambiri ozunzidwa ku Abu Ghraib. Zikuoneka kuti ziwawa zachindunji, ngakhale zitafupikitsa kuphana, zimawonedwa kukhala zonyansa kwambiri kuposa kupha anthu ambiri mwa kuukira ndege.
Ndikuganiza kuti zofooka izi momwe zolemba zowonera zakupha pankhondo zimaganiziridwa kuti zitha kugonjetsedwera, ndikuti kuchuluka kwamavidiyo ndi zithunzi zomwe zimapezedwa mwachangu zitha kukhala ndi zotsatira zabwino. Anthu ambiri aku America amalingalira kanema ngati kupha chikole kukhala chosiyana. Ambiri sadziwa konse kuti nkhondo zaku US ndikuphana kumbali imodzi kupha makamaka anthu wamba komanso mochulukira anthu omwe amakhala komwe kumenyedwa nkhondo. Kanema wina wosonyeza banja likudulidwa ziwalo ndi bomba anganene kuti linangochitika mwangozi. Makumi masauzande a makanema otere sangakhale.
Zachidziwikire, mavidiyo a selfie omwe adazunzidwa pankhondo safunikira. Si chinsinsi kuti nkhondo za US ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan ndi Pakistan ndi Yemen ndi Libya zayambitsa ziwawa zazikulu ndipo zalephera kutaya mabasiketi ang'onoang'ono a ufulu ndi demokalase pa anthu omwe akuwotchedwa mpaka kufa. Sichiyenera kukhala chinsinsi kuti 80 mpaka 90 peresenti ya zida zomwe zili m'dera lomwe amati ndi lachiwawa ku Middle East ndi zopangidwa ndi US. White House sikukana kuti yachulukitsa kwambiri kugulitsa zida kuderali pakati pa ena. Popanda ndondomeko ya kupambana ndi kuvomereza poyera kuti "palibe njira yothetsera nkhondo" imathamangitsira zida zambiri kunkhondo pambuyo pa nkhondo popanda mapeto.
Koma mawu akuwoneka kuti sakugwira ntchito. Pofotokoza kuti apolisi akuthawa kupha sikunapereke mlandu uliwonse. Kanema adadzudzula wapolisi. Tsopano tikufunika kanema yemwe angatsutse wapolisi wapadziko lonse lapansi.
