"Art" imitating life?
From: D.F. To: "uni aum Entertainment" <www.uniaum.com> Date: Tuesday, August 3, 2010, 1:57 PM i'm very disappointed with how True Blood has handle the shooting of Eggs. Jason, the person who shot Eggs, demands to be a cop! This is totally insulting & beyond insensitive. Wrongful deaths/murders committed by police officers is a serious matter especially in the African American community. Sean Bell, Amadou Diallo, & Oscar Grant, are just a few of the victims whose names have made it to the head lines & we should not forget them nor should we treat the issue as something trivial. I hope True Blood will deal with this issue appropriately. For example:
Andy(A): Jason you aren't ready to be a cop! need i remind you that you accidentaly killed sum one? Jason(J): Man you know i was trying to help you wen... (A): did i ask for help? did you hear me yelling "help! he's guna kill me! sum one please save me!" No...cuz i had the situation under control. (J): but i saw... (A): what you saw was sum one emotionally disturbed & the way a cop handles an emotionally disturbed suspect is to talk to them & get them to calm down. Not shoot them in the Head! (J): Man ok you're right i'm not ready to be a cop but you train me & make me ready, i shot Eggs trying to protect you so you train me & fix it so i don’t go & shoot nobody else the way i shot Eggs. [ENTER Tara hearing Jason confess] Tara(T): you shot Eggs?!! (J): Tara i'm so sorry. it was an accident. (T): An accident !? You.. (A): Its true Tara. it was an accident. Eggs came to me so he could turn himself in. He was carrying the knife he used & was trying to confess.. (J): but he was waving the knife around & acting all crazy. i got scared & thought he was guna kill Andy so i shot him. (T): Shot him? Jason you didn’t just shoot him. you killed him ! You shot him in the head Jason. right between the eyes. that was no accident. that was a cold blooded execution Jason. why didn’t you just take the knife away from him? (J): Please Andy make me a cop. give me a chance to make up for what i did to Eggs. I want to make it right. I feel like if i do enuf good that'll make up for the bad i've done. please Andy. Give me a chance. |
