Njengobulungisa kunye nokuchaneka kokuBika bonisa, kwade kwavela ividiyo kwiphephandaba lase Mzantsi Carolina uMichael Slager ebulala uWalter Scott, abeendaba bebexela iphakheji yobuxoki obenziwe ngamapolisa: umlo ongazange wenzeke, amangqina angekhoyo, ixhoba lithathe itaser yepolisa, njl. Ubuxoki bawa ngenxa yokuba ividiyo yavela.
Ndizifumana ndibuza ukuba kutheni iividiyo zemijukujelwa zivuthela abantwana kwiincinci ezincinci kwaye iziqwenga zingenakunyibilikisa amabali akhutshwe yiPentagon. Ngemigangatho yemfundo, ndicinga ukuba inxalenye yempendulo kukuba azikho iividiyo ezaneleyo. Umzabalazo welungelo lokufota ividiyo yamapolisa ekhaya eMelika kufuneka ikhatshwe liphulo lokubonelela ngeekhamera zevidiyo kubantu abajolise kwiimfazwe. Ewe umzabalazo wokuvota abantu abafayo phantsi kwephulo lokuqhushumisa ubuncinci ngumceli mngeni omkhulu njengokufota ngevidiyo ngepolisa elingumbulali, kodwa iikhamera ezaneleyo ziya kuvelisa imifanekiso ethile.
Kukho ezinye iindawo kwimpendulo, kunjalo. Enye inzima, iqhutywe ngokubanjwa ngokuzikhethela. Ukuchazela imfazwe yangoku eYemen, i Washington Post Ufumana umntu ocaphula athi, "Akukho mntu unokufumanisa ukuba ngubani na oqale lomlo okanye uza kuwuphelisa kanjani."
Kwenene? Akukho mntu? Owesibini umbutho wecandelo lolawulo lwe-US kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo unqotshwa ngamagorha anikwe amandla ngokuchasene nolawulo lokunyanzelisa i-US. Oku emva komntu wase-Yemeni xelelwe I-Congress Yase-US ebusweni babo ukuba ama-drone ase-US axabise amaxhoba. I-Saudi Arabia enkulu ebamelene ne-Armed Arabia iqala ukuqhubhisa ibhokhwe kwaye isongela ukuthatha, njengokuba kubudlobongela obusondeleyo base-US e-Bahrain. Izixhobo zase-Saudi zase-US zibhubhisa izibhamu ze-Yemeni zixhobo ze-US, kwaye akukho mntu onokulinganisa nantoni na?
Nabantwana base-US bafihla kwiimpawu zeSoviet kwiminyaka emininzi edlulileyo, kunye nomntwana wase-Yemeni efihla kwi-drone yase-US ngokutsha kwangoko (umthombo). Lona lukuphi na ukumangalela umntu?
Apha zi iifoto kunye namabali abantwana abangenacala babulawa neDrones e-US eYemen. Kwenzeka njani ukuba loo nto ingamangaleli mntu?
Ngaphandle kokuntsonkotha kunye nokuthotywa kunye nokuzithethelela kweengcamango ezenziwayo kunye neenkcazo ezinconywayo ezinje "ngomonakalo wesibambiso," kulele ingxaki yokufumana abantu baseMelika ukuba banikezele ngabantu abakude. Kodwa urhulumente wase-US woyika ngumbono wokukhupha iifoto kunye nevidiyo zokuhlukumeza e-Abu Ghraib. Kubonakala ngathi ubundlobongela obuthe ngqo, kunye nokufutshane kokubulala, kubonwa njengokucekisa ngakumbi kunokubulala abantu abaninzi ngokubetha ngenqwelomoya.
Ndicinga ukuba aba buthathaka ngendlela amaxwebhu abonwa ngayo ekubulaweni kwimfazwe abonwa ngayo anokutshatyalaliswa, kwaye ukuba ngokwenene umxholo omkhulu wevidiyo kunye neefoto ezifumanekayo ngokukhawuleza zinokuba nempembelelo efanelekileyo. Abaninzi baseMerika bacinga ividiyo efana nayo ku bulala kube yinto ekhethekileyo. Ininzi ayinayo ingqalelo kuzo zonke iimfazwe zase-US zibulala abantu abaxhomekeke kubomvu ngokubanzi kunye nabantu abahlala apho kukho imfazwe. Enye ividiyo yeentsapho eziqhawulwa yibhobho ingaxoshwa njengengozi. Amashumi amawaka alawo mavidiyo ayikwazanga.
Ewe kunjalo, ngokusengqiqweni, ividiyo yexhoba le-selfie yevidiyo akufuneki ukuba ifuneka. Akuyimfihlo ukuba iimfazwe zase-US e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan nasePakistan naseYemen naseLibya ziye zanyusa ubundlobongela obukhulu kwaye zahluleka ngokupheleleyo ukulahla iibhasikiti zenkululeko kunye nentando yesininzi kubantu abatshiswa bafa. Akufanele kube yimfihlo ukuba i-80 ukuya kwi-90 yepesenti yezixhobo kwindawo ekuthiwa inobundlobongela kuMbindi Mpuma zenziwe e-US. I-White House ayikhanyeli ukuba inyuse kakhulu ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo kuloo mmandla phakathi kwabanye. Ngaphandle kwesicwangciso sempumelelo kunye nokuvuma ngokungafihlisiyo ukuba "akukho sisombululo sezomkhosi" kukhawulezisa izixhobo ezingakumbi emfazweni emva kwemfazwe kungekho siphelo.
Kodwa amagama kubonakala ngathi awenzi msebenzi. Ukuchaza ukuba amapolisa aybaleka nokubulala kwakungavelisi zityholo. Ividiyo ekugqibeleni yamangalela ipolisa. Ngoku sifuna ividiyo enokubeka ityala ipolisa lehlabathi.
