Life isn’t worth a cent now in this country. Almost every day we hear, read and see news of bloody police killings. Media isn’t effective in publicizing this atrocity. They banner and splash the images of dead bodies sprawled in the streets, and the body count keeps piling up. They are everywhere even in the social media, and people share footage of the stiffened bodies of men and women whose blood spilled the streets, victims of this unconscionable violence.
But the conscience seemed numb. There is the insidious, growing, social insensitivity. Nobody really cares about the dead low lifes, the addicts, pushers, or druggies, even the obscure, helpless, collateral victims being mercilessly killed in so called police operations, except their grieving families.
