A Lamentation - Day 7


The way police officers act toward unarmed black people protesting,
The way border patrol acts with folk at the southern border,
The way “self deputized” citizens weaponize the police against their neighbors of color,
The way the so called “appalled” stay silent as they feign outrage.

This is why I never believed the “I was just doing my job” stories I’ve read and heard from WW2 history.
You can’t just do your job and not believe in it,
When your job is egregious and genocidal.

"I was just following orders." and "I was just doing my job." 
Are the most used phrases of the morally bankrupt, 
who seek to justify the unjustifiable.
