Je Suis Ferguson?

Monga a Thomas Paine amakono, a Jon Stewart ananeneratu, "2014 sichinali chaka chabwino kwa anthu." 2014 idawonetsa anthu aku Ebola ku West Africa ndikupita ku US ndi Europe; wolamulira mwankhanza mopondereza amayesa kuletsa kanema waku Hollywood kuti asawonedwe; ndipo othawa kwawo ku South Sudan akuthawa ndi masauzande ku ziwawa zomwe zidakuta dziko laling'ono kwambiri padziko lapansi. Chaka chatha, dziko lapansi lidawonera pomwe ISIL idazunza dera lonselo - zomwe zangokulira miyezi ingapo yapitayo; Russia idalanda dziko lodziyimira palokha mosaloledwa; ndipo apolisi anapha anthu akuda opanda zida m'misewu ndi m'mapaki am'mizinda ya America, munjira zathu, ndi ku Walmart.

Zotsutsa zomwe zidachitika chifukwa cha kuphedwa kwa apolisi ku U.S. zidatsegulanso bala lomwe silinapole. Ambiri adatsala atakumana ndi kuzindikira kuti gulu la "pambuyo pa mafuko" omwe amaganiza kuti akukhalamo linali nyumba yosalimba yamakhadi, loto lowolowa manja. Kwa ena, zenizeni zawo zatsiku ndi tsiku zokhudzana ndiulamuliro ndi mphamvu mdziko muno zidapachikidwa pawailesi yakanema komanso oyang'anira makompyuta. Zowonjezeranso zina zidagwedezeka pamitengo yawo ndi magulu ankhondo apolisi mdziko lonselo komanso kuwongolera kosawopsa kwa nzika zaku America. Kwa enanso, malingaliro awo okhudza mamembala a "mafuko" ena amawoneka kuti ndi oyenera: anthu akuda anali achifwamba omwe anali kufunafuna zifukwa zophwanya lamuloli, pomwe azungu anali amtundu wankhanza omwe sanasamale zaumoyo wa anthu mtundu.

Dziko lidayang'ana pomwe nzika zaku Ferguson komanso ku US konse zikuyenda m'misewu kutsutsana ndi zomwe amawona kuti ndi kupha kopanda chilungamo kwa anzawo aku America, koma kunyozedwa ndi omwe amatchedwa kuti malo ogulitsa nkhani, ndikuzunzidwa ndi apolisi omwe amafanana ndi magulu ankhondo ambiri kuposa anthu amtendere ammudzi. Pomwe atsogoleri ena ayesa kubweretsa zipani zosiyanasiyana ndikulimbikitsa anthu onse aku America kuti athane ndi ziwanda zathu ndikuthana ndi kusalingana kwamachitidwe komwe kulipo pachikhalidwe chathu; mavuto, vitriol, ndi chisokonezo zalamulira tsikuli mpaka pano. Kuphedwa kwa nzika zakuda kwambiri ndi apolisi azungu, kuchuluka kwa zomwe apolisi ndi owatsatira adachita pazionetserozo, komanso kufunitsitsa kwa magulu onse awiri kuchita zachiwawa kwapangitsa ambiri kufunsa ngati zili choncho, "... chifukwa cha chinachake chobadwa nacho mwachibadwa chathu? ”

Pa Januware 7, 2015, mamailosi 4,300 kuchokera ku Ferguson, Missouri, umunthu ndi chitukuko zidakumananso. Zigawenga zikaukira maofesi a Charlie Hebdo, ndikupha anthu khumi ndi awiri, tidakumana, ndi tsoka ladzidzidzi, ndikukakamizidwa kuti tifufuze chifukwa chake ena ali ofunitsitsa kupha miyambo, zikhulupiriro, kapena mtundu wa khungu. Pamwambapa, zitha kuwoneka kuti kuwukira kwa a Charlie Hebdo komanso mphamvu yakupha yomwe apolisi aku US akugwirizana sikungafanane ndi amuna okhala ndi mfuti. Kupatula apo, oyang'anira omwe adawomberana ndi kuwomberana nawo anali kutsatira lamuloli momwe angawone pakadali pano, ndipo palibe umboni wochepa kapena wopanda umboni kuti akulimbana ndi omwe adawapha. Zigawenga zidalondolera ogwira ntchito a Charlie Hebdo chifukwa chazithunzi zojambulidwa komanso ndemanga zawo, zomwe zimaperekedwa kwa mneneri wachisilamu a Mohammed bukuli lidatulutsidwa. Apolisi awiri, wogwira ntchito yosamalira, komanso mlendo yemwe adaphedwa pachiwopsezochi adawonongeka.

Ngakhale sindingafanane ndi apolisi, ambiri omwe amatumikira madera awo ndi ulemu, ulemu, komanso kulimba mtima, ndi zigawenga, maziko amachitidwe awo amagwirizana, oyikidwa m'mbiri yathu yakusintha. Zonsezi ndizokhazikika mu umunthu.

"Chilengedwe" ndichizindikiro, ndipo pali ena omwe amanamizira kuti "chilengedwe" kapena "chilengedwe" ndi chosapeweka, chodziwikiratu, kapena chosalakwa. Pamene ine, ndi ena ambiri tikugwiritsa ntchito liwu loti "zachilengedwe" kapena tikamayankhula za "chilengedwe" cha nyama, tikutanthawuza za zikhalidwe zomwe zimakhalapo nthawi zambiri zomwe zimawonedwa mwachilengedwe, kapena zachilengedwe. Powonjezera izi kwa anthu, titha kujambula ndikuwerenga zomwe zimachitika ndikuwonekera pazikhalidwe za anthu, chifukwa chake ndizofanana. Khalidwe lomwe ndi gawo la chibadwa cha munthu sikosapeweka, lokonzedweratu, kapena lopanda chilema. Khalidwe lomwe ndi gawo la umunthu limafanana ndi mitundu yathu ndipo limatha kuwonedwa pazikhalidwe zosiyanasiyana. Potenga nawo mbali omwe amapeputsa, omwe amapotoza tanthauzo la mawu asayansi kuti akwaniritse zolinga zawo, tikuloleza osakhala asayansi kuti akonze zokambiranazi, ndipo pamapeto pake timanyalanyaza zofunikira - zidziwitso zamtundu wathu monga zamoyo.

Anthu mwachilengedwe amapangidwa m'magulu, ndipo amakayikira akunja, osawakhulupirira ndi nkhanza. Ndife mwachilengedwe, osankhika. M'magulu ndi xenophobia ndichifukwa chake asilikari ali okonzeka kuferana ndikupha anthu anzawo, komanso chifukwa chake ziwawa zimatha kuphulika mosavuta pamasewera. Pogwiritsa ntchito mawu oti, kugwiritsidwa ntchito mopitilira muyeso, m'magulu ndi tsankho ndi "gawo la DNA yathu." Sitifunikira kuphunzitsidwa kupanga m'magulu, kapena kuchita nkhanza kwa akunja.

Tiyenera kuphunzitsidwa kuti ndi magulu ati omwe ayenera kulowa nawo, ndi omwe sakhala nawo.

Kuphedwa kwa anthu ochokera mgulu limodzi ndi amuna ochokera m'magulu ena, makamaka pakakhala kusalingana kwa mphamvu ndikuwopsezedwa kuti ndiwowopsa. Imadula nthawi, zikhalidwe, ndi zochitika ndipo, mwatsoka, ndi gawo la mbiriyakale yathu, komanso zomwe tili pano ngati mtundu. Momwemonso masoka ku France ndi United States sizodabwitsa; M'malo mwake, zimanenedweratu, ndipo zimalimbikitsidwa ndi mayankho omwewo.

Achinyamata amayendetsedwa kuti ajowine, ndikuvomerezedwa m'magulu, nthawi zambiri pachiwopsezo chachikulu. Kuyendetsa kumeneku ndi zotsatira za zovuta zakusintha kwa anthu ndi ma hominin, kwazaka zambiri kuti amuna apange mgwirizano wina ndi mnzake. Mgwirizanowu umachitika pakati pa anthu, ndipo umathandizira kupikisana pakati pa gulu, koma pali gawo lina lolumikizana lomwe ndilofunika kuti magulu onse amenyane. Amuna amphongo, monga ma dolphin a botolo ndi abale athu a chimpanzi, amapanga "gawo lachiwiri" kapena "mgwirizano wapamwamba" zomwe zimapangitsa amuna opitilira atatu omwe ali mgululi kukhala omangidwa motsutsana ndi amuna onse ochokera kunja.

Amuna omwe anaukira likulu la a Charlie Hebdo, omwe amadziwika kuti ndi mamembala a gulu linalake, Al Qaeda, ndipo adawona wina aliyense ngati akunja. Adawona ogwira ntchito a Charlie Hebdo ngati mdani, adakakamizidwa ndi atsogoleri am'gulu lawo kuti achitepo kanthu motsutsana nawo, ndipo adaphunzitsidwa ndi kupatsidwa mphamvu kuti apange mphamvu yayikulu. Zimanenedwa kuti anthu omwe anali ndi mfuti anali ndi mfuti za mtundu wa AK-47, mfuti zozungulira, mfuti za Tokarev, mfuti ya Rocket, ndi mfuti. Zopindulitsa zomwe angachite chifukwa cha zochita zawo ndi kuvomereza kwathunthu mgululi, ngati ngwazi, komanso omwe angatifere. Kupitilira mphotho zadziko lapansi, olakwirawo adauzidwa kuti ayembekezere zomwe ofera amuna achisilamu amalandila, anamwali makumi asanu ndi awiri mphambu awiri akuwayembekezera ku paradiso atamwalira.

Achifwambawo adauzidwa kuti ndi gulu liti, omwe sanali m'gululi, ndipo adawatumiza kukachita zoyipa zopanda nzeru za "winayo".

Apolisi omwe anachita nawo ziwopsezo zakupha ku US onse anali mamembala a mgulu lomwe lakhala likusiyana kwambiri pazaka makumi awiri zapitazi. Pomwe SWAT Magulu ndi magulu ena apadera akhalapo kwazaka zambiri m'madipatimenti akulu apolisi mumzinda, kufunikira kwa apolisi ankhondo ambiri kunadziwika ku America pa February 28, 1997 ku North Hollywood, California. Oyang'anira awiri adachitika pobera ku banki nthawi ya 9:15 m'mawa ndipo adakumana ndi achifwamba awiri atavala zida zonse zathupi, atanyamula mfuti zankhondo zankhondo. Maofesala oyamba omwe anali pamalopo, ndikuwabwezeretsa posakhalitsa adangodumphadumpha pamphambano yomwe idatenga mphindi zopitilira makumi anayi zomwe zidapangitsa kuti anthu wamba 6 ndi apolisi 10 avulazidwe, olakwira onse aphedwa, ndikusintha kwanyengo momwe anthu amawonera zida zankhondo apolisi ku America.

Chimodzi mwazomvetsa chisoni zomwe zachitika chifukwa chankhondo yapolisi mdziko lathu ndikudzipatula kwawo ngati gulu lapadera. Oyang'anira omwe anapha nzika zazing'onozi amadziona ngati anthu a "chikhalidwe cha apolisi" komanso osiyana ndi anthu wamba. Khalidwe ili ndilofala pakati pa apolisi, m'magulu onse, ndipo amalimbikitsidwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri. Kuphatikizidwa kwa ma cadet kukhala "achibale", ndipo zotsatira zake "chishango chabuluu" ndikothandiza kwambiri. M'malo mwake, ndi okhawo omwe ali m'magulu omwe amaonedwa m'magulu ankhondo omwe amatsutsana ndi magulu apakati pa apolisi. Zomwe tidawona ngati ziwonetsero kudera lonse la United States mu Kugwa ndi Zima kwa 2014 zidapangidwa kukhala mgulu la nzika zokwiya, zomwe zimawopsezedwa ndi gulu lomwe limapanga apolisi ku America konse.

Ambiri anganene kuti gulu lomwe limapanga apolisi mdziko lathu lonse ndilofunikira. Apolisi amayika miyoyo yawo pamzere tsiku lililonse, ndipo amayenera kukhulupirirana pamlingo wosawoneka m'mabungwe ena ambiri. Ubale wapolisi umapereka, mphamvu ndi chitetezo kwa mamembala ake, ndipo nthawi zambiri zimawasunga, ndipo enafe tonse tili otetezeka. M'malo mwake, kusiyanitsa apolisi ngati gawo lapadera pagulu sikuyenera kuyambitsa mikangano, ndi kuphedwa. Apolisi ambiri amatha kudzizindikira kuti ndi apolisi ndi madera omwe amatumikirako, ndipo sakhala chiopsezo kwa anthu wamba.

Komabe, maofesala omwe akhudzidwa ndi milanduyi sanazindikire nzika zomwe anali kuchita, ndipo zotsatira zake zinali zakupha. Oyang'anira, m'malo mwake, adawona nzika izi ngati mamembala ena, komanso ngati ziwopsezo zapadera. Zowona kuti maofesala ndi nzika anali ochokera m'mitundu yosiyana, ndipo nzikazo anali ochokera m'mafuko omwe nthawi zambiri amathandizana ndi umbanda munyuzipepala, pagulu, komanso m'madipatimenti apolisi ndizofunikira, komanso gawo lalikulu lazosokoneza. Pamaso pa oyang'anira amuna omwe akukhudzidwa nawo, amuna omwe amakumana nawo anali ochokera kunja ndipo anali pachiwopsezo chachikulu kwa apolisiwo. Kuphatikiza apo, maofesala anali ndi zida zophunzitsira zomwe zimapangitsa kuti mphamvu zisamayende bwino. Zachisoni, apolisiwo adayankha m'njira zoyambira kwambiri kuposa malumbiro awo oteteza ndikutumikira, ndipo maphunziro awo ku sukulu sangakhalepo. Iwo adachita zikhalidwe zomwe amuna amtundu wathu, ndipo makolo athu akhala akuchita kwa mazana masauzande, ngati si mamiliyoni a zaka.

Apolisi omwe adachita nawo ziwopsezo zowopsa izi adadziwa kuti ndi gulu liti, omwe sanali m'gululi, ndipo adachita zopanda nzeru komanso zowopsa za "winayo".

Zovuta zomwe zidachitika ku Paris, komanso m'misewu ya US zikuwululira ife chinthu chowopsa cha umunthu chomwe tiyenera kumvetsetsa. Amuna amunthu amakonda kupangidwa m'magulu, ndikuchita mwankhanza kwa amuna ochokera kunja kwa magulu amenewo. Nthawi zina, pakakhala kusalinganika kwa mphamvu, kulumikizana mwaukali kumeneku kumatha kukhala koopsa. Kunyalanyaza mfundo iyi ya chibadwa chaumunthu ndikuwononga magulu athu kuti awone machitidwe akubwereza okha mobwerezabwereza. Ngati tikufuna kukhazikitsa mfundo zomwe zimakhudza machitidwe athu, ndikupangitsa kuti nzika zathu zizikhala bwino, tiyenera kuvomereza ndikumvetsetsa chikhalidwe chathu, ngakhale zitakhala zonyansa kuzolakalaka zathu. Tiyenera kukumana ndi zovuta zathu, ngati tikufuna kupita patsogolo ngati gulu.

M'mawu ake a State of the Union Address, Purezidenti Obama adakantha chingwe cholondola pomwe adati, "Titha kukhala ndi zosiyana pazomwe zidachitika ku Ferguson ndi New York. Koma titha kumvetsetsa bambo yemwe akuwopa kuti mwana wake sangathe kuyenda osavutitsidwa. Titha kumvetsetsa mkazi yemwe sapuma mpaka wapolisi yemwe anamukwatira adutsa pakhomo lakumapeto kumapeto kwa ntchito yake. ” Tiyenera kupitirira miyambo yakunja yakukhala "achifwamba", "apolisi", kapena "achihadidi" kapena "osakhulupirira." Tiyenera kuphunzitsa nzika zathu ndi atsogoleri kuti amvetsetse kuti ndife gawo la "gulu" lalikulu lotchedwa Homo sapiens, ndikuti timagawana kwambiri kuposa zomwe zimatigawanitsa. Anthu nthawi zonse amakhala ang'onoang'ono m'magulu, ndipo sitidzabwera tonse kuti tigwirizane padziko lonse lapansi kapena kuyimba kumbaya. Vuto lathu ndikuchepetsa kusiyana pakati pa omwe ali mgululi, kupeza zomwe tingathe kuchita, ndikuchepetsa mikangano pogwiritsa ntchito kumvetsetsa kwathu kwa umunthu, osanyalanyaza.
