Dak Prescott reminds me of Samuel L. Jackson’s character “Stephen” in Django Unchained. Jackson’s character knew what ‘massa’ was doing was wrong, but he was determined to make sure that the plantation system under white males survived. The following was my favorite part of the movie~
Django : You said in seventy-six years on this plantation, you’ve seen all manner of shit done to niggers but I notice… you didn’t mention kneecapping.
[Django shoots Stephen in the kneecap]
Stephen : Oh, God! Motherfucker! Damn it!
Django : Seventy-six years, Stephen. How many niggers you think you seen come and go? Seven thousand? Eight thousand? Nine thousand? Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine? Every single word that came out of Calvin Candie’s mouth was nothing but horseshit, but he was right about one thing: I am that one nigger in ten thousand.
[He shoots Stephen in the other kneecap]
Stephen : Oh, you son of a bitch! Oh, you motherfucker! Oh, sweet Jesus, let me kill this nigger!
Stephen : DJANGO! You uppity son of a b…
[Plantation blows up]”

What pisses me off about these multiple cases of police abuse against some of our citizens is that police departments and millions of Americans refuse to hold them accountable. They abuse/kill some Americans on a regular basis and are permitted to walk free, as if they’ve done nothing wrong. This is why some Americans run when they see the police coming their way.

Exactly. They see prey when Black people run. So they shoot and kill. They are really fugged up in the head.
