Is 7 the number of completion?
Say his name. Jason Blake. A young father who was shot seven (7) times in the back...by police...while walking away from them. He was breaking up a fight between two women but got shot at point blank range by officers who didn't have bodycams on. As the facts continue to come out, many stories and narratives will surface. I try my best to be objective and look at things from all angles, but this is irreconcilable. The argument for the Black Lives Matter movement is on full display here. If the resident hadn't filmed this incident from their home, the world would never know about this interaction. As a Christian, we've been taught that seven is the number of completion. Perfection. My prayer is that this puts an end to the senseless violence and police brutality of black and brown people. I would've typed all the hashtags of those killed unjustly. I don't think there's enough room in this blog to accommodate them. I thank God that Mr. Blake survived as so many others succumb to their wounds. Jason will have a powerful testimony that I hope and pray the world hears. His guardian angels surely watched over him and God's grace and mercy covered him. So what say ye? What are your thoughts? Will this be the last instance of reckless officer action? Or is this where the work begins? Share your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
