On the day that I die I want people who knew me to be able to say that David Adams was a proud black man unafraid to die fighting for my people -- The People's Champion
I would like to make my stance on this tragic case very clear to all of my readers and all within humanity throughout the globe. The killing of a Trayvon Martin and the circumstances surrounding how the police who investigated his murder, is without question one of the most egregious acts of injustice witnessed by the America People in modern time. Though the road to equality for people of color in the western hemisphere has made great strides in the past century, acts of hatred, bigotry, and racism carried out at the hands of hate mongers whose sick and perverse deeds often times results in the death of black children continues to accelerate a vehicle of separatism within humanity on a world stage. The merits of this horrific case are so shocking that it defies logic that the manner in which Law Enforcement Officials within the southern states of America do their jobs, that they have such diversity in their policing practices which presents a glaring contrast to not only other states in America but globally, and a critical analysis of these facts only serves to reignite further dialogue and legislation in those regions of our nation pertaining to criminal cases in which Black People fall victim. The disturbing reality that the Sanford, Florida Police Chief, the Mayor, the State Prosecutor, and other State Officials lack the practical, professional, and moral astuteness to properly administer the laws of their jurisdiction not only depicts complete incompetence, but rather solidifies their actions as having derived from absolute prejudice. Therefore, it is extremely imperative that the people as a whole rightfully stake claim to the affairs of that municipality in the name of humanity, righteousness, and justice. This entire case fumed injustice from the very gate, and I state for the record that I completely support all of the protest and demonstrations around the globe, while seeking swift justice for these basic premises:
1. The Florida “Stand your ground” statue is too vague and entails ambiguity that hinders the proper use of discretion for interpreting the law accurately.
2 . The Martin homicide crime scene investigation was flawed because universal protocol for investigations of this nature were not adhered to the letter.
3. Police personnel primary to the scene presented a conflict of interest given their tactical authority which most certainly allowed for key fundamental police standards and practices to be missed.
4. The release of George Zimmerman the exact same night of the Martin teen killing was poor judgement and exemplifies a careless and reckless regard for expedient fact-finding in the case, and created a further threat to public safety in the Sanford Community.
5. The obvious attempt by Sanford police Officials to cover up this tragedy speaks to the desire of those functioning in leadership capacities to ignore the life of a teenager that they have yet to describe, if any, the laws that he broke the night he was gunned down.
These unfortunately details are alarming, and it must not be permitted to stand in a civilized society. However, I am calling upon my people within the black community to continue this quest for justice, not only in the Trayvon Martin Murder Case, but for any case that results in the unjustified killing of our children. The times of standing idle while so-called Black leaders stand at a podium decrying the injustice of our people has completely subsided. The time for the Black Man to take his proper place in our community has been long over due. We must now purge forward in the face of a nation that has always sought our demise, a nation who has locked up countless black men only to have their innocence discovered years later, and a nation that continues to hunt our black youth. Black man the tears of our mothers and daughters must live no more. How many of our mothers will have to bury their children? How long shall injustices befall us? When will we learn that we live in a nation that doesn’t respect us, and primarily because we don’t respect ourselves? I appeal to my brothers that the time for our reckoning is now upon us. For the souls of our ancestors still cries for freedom. Freedom from murder. Freedom from emasculation. Freedom from incarceration, and freedom from our own metal slavery. I’d rather die fighting and moving forward for justice, respect, and equality rather than dieing like a little boy who stood still. This is my appeal to you all my brother.
