NguRobert Koehler, Juni 20, 2020

Kwakufanele afe, angithi? Walwa, wagijima, wabamba ipipi lika tasel wamdubula. Futhi wadakwa, ngokusobala. Futhi wayevimba ithrafikhi.

"Uma iphoyisa lishaywa ngalolo Taser, wonke imisipha yakhe izovalwa, futhi ngeke akwazi ukuthutha futhi aphendule," kusho u-a Isifunda saseGeorgia sheriff, ekhuluma ngokubulawa kukaRayshard Brooks e-Atlanta ngoJuni 12. "Lokhu bekungadutshulwa ngokuphelele."

Ngokuphelele. Iqondisiwe.

Phakathi kokuthukuthela komhlaba wonke mayelana nokubulawa kwamaphoyisa nabavikeli bamaphoyisa kukhona igebe - ukuntuleka ngokuphelele kwendawo evumelanayo - okumele iwele. Ukubulawa kukaRayshard Brooks, njengokubulawa kwabesilisa nabesifazane abaningi kangaka bemibala kule minyaka edlule nasemavikini asanda kwedlula, kunesizathu sombono omncane kakhulu: Ngabe wephule imithetho yomdlalo? Imvamisa okunye “ukwephulwa,” noma kukuncane noma kungafanele, kungatholakala futhi, i-voila, ukudubula kufanelekile!

Yini ebaleke ngesihluku kulesi simo esivalekile kuleli cala - esiphazanyiswe iminyaka emihlanu noma eyisithupha ngokudlanga kwamavidiyo athunyelwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana avame ukuyiphazamisa ngokuphelele indaba yamaphoyisa ngokwenzekile - kuwumqondo wobuntu ngalowo ohlukunyeziwe futhi, ngale kwalokho , ukuzimisela ukwamukela izinga lobudlova lobuhlanya laseMelika, izikhungo nokunye.

"URayshard Brooks wabulawa ngosuku olwedlule ngaphambi kokuhlela ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa kwendodakazi yakhe," kusho i-CNN. "Abameli bomndeni bathi Indodakazi eneminyaka engu-8 wayelinde uyise egqoke ingubo yakhe yokuzalwa ngalolo suku ekuseni. Kepha akazange abuye ekhaya. ”

Kukhona okungahambi kahle.

U-Abdullah Jaber, umqondisi omkhulu woMkhandlu kwi-American-Islamic Relations-Georgia, ukubeke kanjena: "Ucingo oluphathelene nendoda elele emotweni alusoze landa ngokudubula kwamaphoyisa." Uqhubeka, eveza ukuthi ukudubula owesilisa ngemuva njengoba ebaleka kuyisibonelo sobudlova bamaphoyisa, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi iphuzu eliyisihluthulelo ukuthi lezo zinkinga ezincane zomphakathi - indoda evimba umgwaqo odlula kuWendy's - kumele ungalokothi kubhekwane ngendlela yokuthi udlame olubulalayo lube khona.

Lokhu-ke ukubuyisa imali yamaphoyisa kumayelana: nokubuyisela imali uhlelo olubona ukuhleleka komphakathi njengokulalela igunya elihlomile; lokho kukhula ngokuya ngamasosha; lokho akunakho ukuqonda okuyinkimbinkimbi ngokuziphatha komuntu; futhi lokho kunezimpande ezijulile kubuhlanga obumhlophe, obungagcini emuva emakhulwini eminyaka kepha kuyaphila futhi okwamanje, esimweni sobuphofu, ukucindezelwa kwabavoti nezindlela ezingapheli zokubandlululwa. Ngempela, njengoba uTrevor Noah afaka i- "The Daily Show": "Ubuhlanga bufana isiraphu yengqolowa womphakathi. Konke kukho konke. ”

Ukubuyisa imali yamaphoyisa kuyingxenye yenqubo enkulu yokuhlelwa kabusha komphakathi. Lokhu akusho ukuthi ukulahla konke ukugcinwa kokuhleleka kwezenhlalo noma ukuqeda konke okwenziwa ngamaphoyisa, kepha kusho ukukhipha izikhali - ukudiliza - ikakhulukazi, uma kungebona bonke, lokho kulungiswa; ukuvuselela inhlalo ezinhlelweni ezisiza abantu ukuthi bathuthukise izimpilo zabo, kungahambisani nokujezisa kwabo ngokwephula imithetho ehlukahlukene; nokubona ukuhleleka komphakathi njengento ethinta umphakathi uqobo, ukuze thina sonke, hhayi nje labo esinamabheji, izibhamu negunya elisemthethweni, sibambe iqhaza kulolu hlelo.

“Ukusigcina siphephile” kuwubuqili obunobudlelwano bomphakathi, okungukuthi, ngamanga, asetshenziselwa ukuvikela nokwandisa impi kanye nempi, ngaphakathi nangaphakathi nasekhaya. Emgogodleni wayo, kuhlale kunesitha, kusenziwa umuntu kalula ukuze kuthiwe ukufa kwakhe kube nesizathu esifanele ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ukuzithethelela kulula kakhulu lapho ungacabangi ngendodakazi yesisulu eneminyaka engu-8 emlindile engutsheni yakhe yokuzalwa.

Futhi njengoba UNowa Berlatsky uyakhombisa, ebhala ku-Nqubomgomo Yangaphandle: ". . . ukubeka phambili ezempi kanye nempi kusho ukubeka phansi izinsiza ezenza ukuthula kube nokwenzeka, njengemfundo. Kuwo lowo msakazo, iBlack Lives Matter kanye ne-American Civil Liberties Union babize ukuthi imali ibuyiselwe emaphoyiseni ukuze iqondise kabusha imali ezinsizeni zempilo yezengqondo nokutshalwa kwemali emiphakathini yabamnyama - ngokwesibonelo, ezikoleni. Amaphoyisa uqobo aveze ukuthi bawenze kanjani umsebenzi wokugcina, bezabalaza ukubhekana nokukhululeka kwezinye izindawo. "

Yithole? Njengoba sikhipha imali ezinhlelweni ezisiza abantu impela, ubuphofu buhlala bungabhekelwa ndawo kanye nokungahambi kahle - okubandakanya ubugebengu - buyabhebhetheka, ngaleyo ndlela sithethelele isabelomali samaphoyisa esanda ngokwanda futhi, ekugcineni, sibe ngamaphoyisa ahlomile ngokwengeziwe. Imiphakathi engasetshenziswa, imiphakathi enemibala, manje kufanele ilawulwe ngamabutho ahlala abantu. Lesi njengamanje yisimo esijwayelekile - ebhekene nolaka lomhlaba wonke futhi isiqhekeka njengoba abavikeli bayo bezama ngokuqinile ukuyihlanganisa.

Kepha ekhuluma ngamasosha omsebenzi: “Amasosha nawo ahlomula ngokuqondile, futhi ancike, ekuhlanzeni impahla yasendlini nobuphofu,” kubhala uBeratsats. “Abezempi bagxile emizamweni yokuqashwa kwemindeni esezingeni eliphakathi naphakathi kanye nabampofu. . . . Ohulumeni beqa izinsizakalo zenhlalo yomphakathi kanye nokusetshenziswa kwemali kwezemfundo emiphakathini empofu neyingcosana. Bachitha budlabha emaphoyiseni amisa futhi ahlukumeze abantu abamnyama kulezo zindawo ngomvalo osabisayo. Amasosha axhaswe kahle asungula izikhungo zokuqasha ezindaweni ezihluphekayo ukuze zigcwalise inani lawo, njengoba izingane ezinezinye izindlela ezimbalwa zibhalisa ukuzodubula abanye futhi zidutshulwe ezimpini zangaphandle zaseMelika ezingapheli. ”

Konke lokhu kungiholela e-US Ummeli uBarbara LeeIsinqumo esisha ngaphambi kweCongress, sifuna ukuthi abantu basebenzise amasosha ayizigidi ezingama- $ 350 - cishe isigamu sesabelomali sonyaka sePentagon. Ukuncishiswa kuzobandakanya ukuvala izisekelo zamasosha aphesheya kwezilwandle, ukunqamula izimpi zethu ezingapheli, ukuqeda igatsha lezempi likaTrump elihlongozwayo le-Space Force nokunye okuningi.

"Izikhali zenuzi ezingafuneki, ama-akhawunti asetshenziswa ngaphandle kwezincwadi kanye nezimpi ezingapheli eMiddle East akusisondeli," kusho uLee. "Ikakhulu ngesikhathi lapho imindeni ezweni lonke ilwela ukukhokha izikweletu - kubandakanya nemindeni yamasosha engaphezu kuka-16,000 ezitembu zokudla - kudingeka sibheke kakhulu yonke idola siphinde sibuyisele abantu kabusha."

Unqume kabusha kubantu? Ngabe sikulungele ngempela kulelo zinga lomqondo ojwayelekile?
