what's your opinion of scott having to delete his mcc tweet because people were upset about him being "insensitive" towards the 22 year sentence thing
In my opinion it's stupid. I fully agree with what he said about The UK not knowing. The only reason I knew is because of one of the admins who's African American. A lot of Americans need to understand that their top news isn't the same as everyone else. Canada has been flooded with news about the indigenous people's unmarked graves, The UK recently has been experiencing things that have never happened before like a tornado, on top of that a political scandal and another variation of covid. Also laws against trans people from transitioning being debated. Australia has had to go into lockdown because of a spike in covid so their news is flooded with that. Americans don't know about that because it's not on the top of their news pages, tabs, websites etc.
Getting mad at Scott for being excited for his event and forcing him to delete was purely performative. People are still going to be tweeting and things are still going to be trending because if nobody tweeted everytime a minority voice needed to be heard, nobody would tweet ever. Yes try not to trend things but getting mad at people for tweeting something is stupid because all you do is spam the replies with the same thing causing that to trend instead.
Yes he did delete another tweet but that was to change his wording from poc to black community.
Unfortunately 22 years is actually considered a long sentence for most justice systems. I recently watched a court case where a man drugged, kidnapped, r@p3d and killed 5 teenage girls and he only got 10 years. That's 2 years per girl. That's 2 years for drugging and kidnapping, sexual assult, murder, necrophilia and being a p3d0. Not to mention a lot of countries count pre court time in prison as part of their sentence so they tend to lose 3 ish years minimum of their sentence.
Yes it's awful that he didn't get life but it's honestly not surprising at all especially with the American justice system. I'm saying this as someone spends a lot of time doing criminology research especially on serial killers and female murderers. Especially with him being a police officer and it being a racially motivated crime, the only reason any justice was given was because of the person who filmed and posted the murder. Without it nothing would have happened except from a slap on the wrist.
Honestly I understand that the black community is highly upset and that's totally fine but wasting energy into telling people they cant tweet or do anything other than retweet petitions is so wasteful. That's performative. Yes a lot of people are actually trying to get justice and get the life sentence and are to busy trying to make a change to be mad at a single tweet but it always gets overshadowed by the performative people which is sad.
Unfortunately teens on the internet can't do much other than spread awareness and boost donation pages and petitions. I think instead of getting mad at him not getting life, we should focus more on getting the other murdered black people some sort of justice because most of their killers are still free and still have a job and are still in power and still can legally walk around holding a weapon - Trinity.
