"Ce que j'ai fait après que la police eut tué mon fils": les forces de l'ordre doivent rendre des comptes.


Le fils du pilote de chasse à la retraite Michael Bell n'était pas noir. Au-delà de question raciale, il dénonce la situation actuelle et le fait que les policiers puissent utiliser leurs armes en toute impunité.

 "Yes, there is good reason to think that many of these unjustifiable homicides by police across the country are racially motivated. But there is a lot more than that going on here. Our country is simply not paying enough attention to the terrible lack of accountability of police departments and the way it affects all of us—regardless of race or ethnicity. Because if a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy — that was my son, Michael — can be shot in the head under a street light with his hands cuffed behind his back, in front of five eyewitnesses (including his mother and sister), and his father was a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who flew in three wars for his country — that’s me — and I still couldn’t get anything done about it, then Joe the plumber and Javier the roofer aren’t going to be able to do anything about it either."
