Not to mention the thugs family is sniffing around for a payday. The guy had an extensive record for drugs.

The guy died not from police brutality, but because of poor police transport methods.

Think about that for a second. Basically, they tossed him in the back of the paddy wagon, didn’t secure him, and then drove around town with an angry, shackled man bouncing off the walls. The driver even apparently stopped to check on the guy, and instead of getting the medics out to take care of him, just slammed the door and went back to driving. (or so the story goes).

The result is 6 cops charged, and likely all of them will skate because there is going to be a whole lot of finger pointing and rule quoting that it’s the wagon driver who should have checked, but then the rest of them get some too for arresting a guy without real cause and putting in that position. The highest it will go is manslaughter, and even then, the prosecutor would have to show actions that they knew would lead to the result. The cuffing and shackling is pretty normal for a combative prisoner. Not belting him down may be something that happens if the risk if too high for officers to get in to try to secure him. At best, the officer not getting the medics in half way MIGHT be na issue, but only if he can show that the guy was in fact hurt at that point (and not after that point).

It’s an ugly deal with no winners, a long legal process that will likely lead to some more riot style looting a year or two from now.

@karmafan
Yes I read it, no manifesto, clearly object to Dem politics.

See anything factually incorrect?

We’re the stupid human race and by our human nature we separate ourselves off into groups we’re familiar with. Honestly, when it comes to black folks in America I think they should be paid reparations because they made people a lot of money back before the Civil War. How much? I say give them several southern states like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and whatever more to even the score. It’s only fair and I think in the long run people would get along better.

Right now, we’re just a cesspool destroying ourselves from within.

Lurking do you read what you type before you hit the POST IT button? I’m guessing you probably have a 500 page Manifesto typed up somewhere.

I say ‘finally’ because months before people started wearing ‘Assata Taught Me’ shirts and Mumia got sick the political agendas behind #BlackLivesMatter were blatant.

Obama is using DOJ, IRS even the Labor Relations Board portion of DOL as cudgels on US citizenry. The cudgel is used expressly to shut down opposition or force agendas IG funding the Democrat party off the backs of fast food workers via SEIU….

Our President literally advocated Civil Disobedience to push for $15 per hour while he directed the labor relation board to allow unionization of privately owned small businesses that use the franchise model to employ tax paying workers. This has nothing to do with a living wage and everything to do with SEIU dues the same way these riots have nothing to do with blacks killed by cops.

The week of March 11th four black cops were killed and three white cops shot in one night. Two shot in Ferguson finally garnered a tweet by POTUS re the two Ferguson officers. POTUS kept his commitment to a California Fundraising event & late night talk show where he expressed concern for the Ferguson cops said nothing about the four dead cops or seriously injured Suffolk County NY cop when he insisted we ought not let cop shootings distract from bigger issues.

Last night every connected politician or talking head spouted the same crap…don’t let the riots distract from the larger issues. In case anyone isn’t familiar with Mumia, he is in a PA jail for killing a cop in 1980..Assata aka Joanne Chesimard killed a NJ state trooper (iirc 1970) then escaped from jail in the mid 70’s which brought a fresh round of riots to NJ from Newark, Trenton, Asbury, Long Branch and many more….today Assata Shakur has asylum in Cuba and holds the distinction of being the first woman on the FBI most wanted terrorists list.

The agenda includes teaching days for passing on what Assata taught to ‘peaceful protestors’ via ACORN in its various Non-profit organizational reincarnations.

Some of that can be attributed to black on black crime causing the deaths of young african american males but the larger problem is that black males don’t have a mentality of taking responsibility/care of their families that they help create. By that I mean “in general” many young black males think about booty calls and hooking up and when they “make a life” they choose to not pay child support or be in that child’s life as a parental figure.

I find poverty/incarceration in disproportionate amounts way more concerning than purely the idea of not having a dad. One obviously contributes to the other, but I think the root lies way more in what I stated than just the concept of not having a dad. I mean it’s not optimal, but I feel like you could easily do more in life with upward mobility and no father than no mobility and a dad. Again neither of those scenarios is optimal, but you stating what the “number one problem” is as a point of fact felt like in needed some questioning.

The vacillation between ‘there all animals’ to ‘cool revolution’ is silly. I assume you are viewing these events through the lens of cable news as many are, so keep that grain of salt handy to take with the images you are shown. There are clearly people who want change to what they see as a fundamental problem and there are clearly people wanting to cause chaos/harm and were given an opportunity. One does not cancel out the other. Trying to judge it as one event instead of judging individual actions harshly seems wrong headed. I don’t think it’s a ‘this or that’ as your title implies.

The astronomical number of black children withoug fathers in their lives is the number one problem in the black community, sad but true.
