American Ignorance to me is the continual ability of certain citizens of America taking a situation and twisting its circumstances to meet their agendas. This ignorance is not particular to any race, religion, nationality,creed, nor sexual preference.....anyone is susceptible to jumping onto the bandwagon, for lack of a better way of putting it. One of the many unfortunate things about this American ignorance is that with social media and electronic media being as powerful and "AT HAND" as it is, way too many people are sucked in too quickly and rage along with carelessness are fueled and people start getting hurt, both physically and emotionally, minds get set without proper evidence of proof, character assassinations begin blindly, and "OUR" justice system from the Constitution of these United States is automatically blemished for "ALL PARTIES INVOLVED"
Lets break this down a little bit. Officer gets a call about a crime being committed, arrives and see man running from address given on radio fitting description of suspect. Officer gets out of car and runs behind suspect and yells "Stop, Police"! Jumps on suspect and suspect fights back resisting, but, officer pins suspect face down and hands bend him cuffing him. While cuffing him the suspect is resisting and struggles which causes officer to break suspects arm. While cuffed, officer reaches down and grabs suspect by the broken arm and lifts him up breaking it further. Suspect has not said anything other than "Hey pig, that's hurting my arm asshole"! Now this is a simpler case but is the officer wrong? Did he do anything he should not have, or that was not necessary to prevent a thief from harming an innocent bystander? In this case it could be misconstrued and blown way out of proportion or as the case was proven by camera, left as a good arrest. Point being, If American Ignorance had taken place here and no witness or camera available, the wrong person could have started a situation equivalent to Baltimore. All they had to do was accuse the cop of brutality, and say that he was in a bad mood when he came to work that day....."THE HEADLINES BEGIN AND TWITTER FEEDS ARE TRENDING WITH #ALLLIVESMATTER"
