The Way I See It

This post is an open letter to Anthony Milton II and Cyril Williams, the two men responsible for killing State Trooper Wesley Brown...

Dear Anthony and Cyril,

Even if you may never read this I felt the need to get this off my chest. I must say that I am disappointed in you. No, I don't know you but what I do know is that you have caused a great deal of unnecessary hurt. When will we learn that violence is not the answer? Cyril, you were removed from the Applebees due to your behavior and you come back with a gun 30 minutes later intending to end the life of the office who was doing his job. It looks as if you have succeeded. Congrats! How does it feel? Was it worth it?

You two men are what's wrong with OUR community. What gives you the right to take another life? Because your ego was hurt? I've never seen such disrespect and disregard for another life. It is my hope that the both of you are punished to the full extent of the law. You have embarrased your families and this community. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. You two are two of the reasons why society has a negative outlook on the black community.

Not sure how you thought you were going to get away with this. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's not just that Wesley was a cop but he was a person. Reportedly a good person. And you take it upon yourself to shoot him to ensure your "rep" was intact. Again I say, you should be ashamed of yourselves. There are so many more things I can say but you are a disgrace to your community. Good luck in prison. I'm sure you'll be there for a long time.

I pray that some good comes from this situation. I know we can't see it now but this tragedy may encourage some other young men to turn their lives around and hopefully learn from your mistakes.

Best,
Concerned Citizen
