What's in YOUR Closet?

He has a gun!   
Shots fired!   He’s dead.  
Oh, he had a license to carry.  Oh well.  
I feared for my life.

Every time police kill someone, the decedent’s present and past get plundered.   The things often found (sometimes after being planted) via the plundering are guns and drugs.   Folks then use these findings as to justify the killing.  Is there ever found a school book, comic book, technical manual, novel or a Bible?  What about a bottle of prescription drugs?   What about pictures of children or a spouse?   What about a protein bar — or even a candy bar?   What about a job application?  Or better, what about a police officer application?

ARE PEOPLE REALLY EXPECTED TO BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY THING FOUND AMONG A PERSON’S BELONGINGS AFTER BEING KILLED BY POLICE IS A GUN OR A STASH OF ILLEGAL DRUGS???

The sad, sad commentary is that the ignorant, the bigoted, the hate-filled, will delude themselves and use those findings as justification for the killing.   This begs the questions:  

What’s in YOUR closet?   
What’s in YOUR vehicle?   
What’s in YOUR past?  
What’s in YOUR heart?

When you are killed (highly probably if you are Black and stopped by police in the United States) – or when you die (by whatever means we will all do this), what will you leave behind?  How will you be remembered?
