Black Lives Matter

"But for example when there is a toy gun that had have it marking removed is pointed at a police officer unlike say some of the fools on this system he have no way of knowing it is not real and unless he is insane will fired his gun."

Hi Bill, there might be extra or missing words in your remark. Would you mind putting this into an understandable sentence (something that sober english speakers can understand) because I can't tell if I disagree or agree with whatever the hell you wrote. If you are still hanging on to your late Mom's care giver, ask her to check it. Well maybe not, the bubble might break, but then again, she has been fond of you (according to you) maybe she won't be too critical.

I suspect we have all had problems with policeman over the years. I don't doubt for a minute that black americans get rougher treatment. I can tell you that when I was a brand new mother, we went to another couples apartment when my baby boy and their baby girl were about 6 weeks old. It was the first time I had done anything other than take care of the baby and it was a terrific treat to visit with another pair of new parents. On our way home, in the dark because it was early January, our car's headlights went out. We pulled into a Shell Station, and my ex-husband asked the attendant to check the fuses. (This was in 73 so service stations were still full service) He said he didn't have time, then my ex asked for a flashlight so he could check the fuses but the attendant said the 'flashlight' was out on a call. What we didn't know was the attendant called the police because he felt threatened and while my ex tried to convince the Shell guy to help, a State Police car pulled up. He was telling my ex we had to leave and then I got out of the car, I touched his arm to ask him, Please, my infant is in the back seat we have no car lights, he told me if I touched him again he would arrest me. I was floored. Granted he didn't club me for daring to touch him, but I was 24 ears old, I thought the police were our friends. Ha hahahahahah, They are not.

I suppose I should thank my lucky stars I got off light because I wanted to go home while Caucasian. I'm not anti=police, but that was the first time I was unfairly treated by a cop, it wasn't the last and the last time was when I and three other strangers witnessed a child (maybe 8 or younger) being beaten by a women in a parking lot, then tossed into a car and beaten some more. One of the women called 911 and asked for help. The county cop took 45minutes to get to us, and as we explained what happened he said "well, people get angry". He couldn't have been less interested until I gave him the County Executives phone number and told him he could reach me there since I had a 4 O'Clock appt, just as for the women meeting with the Exec.

So, there were 4 white women between 40 and 60, and the cop didn't give a **** until he thought someone might know his boss. It's frigging disgraceful, but thats how a bunch of middle to elder group of women were treated, I have a pretty good idea of how they treat minorities. Shameful

Here you are complaining that a cop treating you with no respect and yet you feel free to do the same to me and others here.

Somehow your lack of respect for others is likely to come across loud and clear to anyone who need to deal with you including cops in real life and result in lack of respect being shown toward you in return.

Yes a cop should not be human and should treat you with respect that you are no likely to had earn but that is not how it work in real life.

Footnote unlike you I have never had a problem with a cop in 67 years of my life but then I do not look down on others as you do.

From where you're at, how could you possibly look down on anyone?

Thanks for giving an example of the kind of attitude I am talking about.

Cleveland prosecutor who cleared cops in Tamir Rice’s death defeated in Dem primary
Source: Raw Story

Cuyahoga County District Attorney Tim McGinty lost his bid for re-election on Tuesday night, less than three months after Cleveland activists began calling for him to be voted out for his handling of the case of 12-year-old Tamir Rice’s shooting death at the hands of police.

CleveScene reported that McGinty conceded the Democratic primary race to opponent Mike O’Malley around midnight local time.

McGinty became the subject of protests around the area for clearing Officers Frank Garmback and Timothy Loehmann in Rice’s death.

Footage showed the boy was shot and killed within seconds of the officers driving up to the boy at a local park, where he was spotted holding a replica gun in late 2014. McGinty has refused to release the testimony heard by the grand jury who heard the case.

Short article but I just got alerted to this after a caller mentioned this on Joe Madison's show on SiriusXM.



The above-linked article also notes that Kim Foxx won the Cook County State Attorney Democratic primary defeating Anita Alvarez (involved in the Laquan McDonald fiasco during Rahm's re-election). Thank you Cleveland & metro Chicago.

Jeez, that certainly showed it all, didn't it. Thanks for posting that.

Yes it surely show a desire for mob rule instead of the normal actions call for by the law.

Similar to the Zimmerman case where the local DA judgment was overrule by the governor of the state.

Wonder if they will then waste tax payers money as they did in the Zimmerman case.

You have a short memory, some of the members remember your tales of ill treatment at the hands of authorities. Give away any kittens lately?

LOL I did not know that a woman public park employee is consider an authority nor did she said anything to me that was not on a sign banning pets from that park.

Strange how you and others keep trying to attacked me for my efforts to find homes for kittens so they would have longer and far happier lives then to be homeless and unloved stays.

As I had already stated no law enforcement person had ever given me a hard time in my life or shown me anything but respect as I had shown them.

Police: Officer mistook plainclothes officer for threat

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — The plainclothes Maryland police officer who died in a chaotic shootout at a Maryland police station was deliberately shot by a fellow officer who did not recognize him and viewed him as an armed threat, a police chief said Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters outside the Prince George's County courthouse, Police Chief Hank Stawinski was careful not to speculate about the state of mind of the unidentified officer who fired upon Officer Jacai Colson on Sunday afternoon outside a police station in Landover, but he said it was clear that the officer feared for his life.

. . .

Three brothers who live near the suburban Washington police station have been charged in the gunfight, which police have described as an attempt by the suicidal oldest brother, 22-year-old Michael Ford, to provoke officers into killing him. According to police, Ford was driven to the station by his two younger brothers and began firing at the building and at passing vehicles, causing officers to return fire. Ford fired more than 20 shots, prosecutors said in court Wednesday.

Police said Ford's brothers aided him before and during the shootout and used their cellphones to record video of the gunfight. They also recorded video of Michael Ford offering a "last will and testament," police said.

Hey Bill, tell us how if this black cop had only obeyed police orders, he'd still be alive.

So a case of friendly fired prove what in your world view?

In fact friendly fired happen fairly often is such situations where you have the bad guys spraying fire into the police.

The Boston bombers shoot out have a number of cops wounded by fellow officers and not the bad guys.

Knowing you if must had been the color of his skin that got him shot even those police of all colors routinely end up being victims of friendly fire in such situations.

You mean other than underline the fact its open season on black males????

You're awfully casual about "freindly fire in that you've never been exposed to it.

Five Deputies Disciplined in Connection with Trump Rally Assault (Video of Second Assault)

Five Cumberland County deputies disciplined in connection with Trump rally assault

By Michael Futch, Staff writer Updated 9 hrs ago

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office says it has disciplined five deputies following an investigation arising from a videotaped assault at the March 9 Donald Trump presidential rally at the Crown Coliseum.

News of the disciplinary action came on the same day as allegations of a second assault during the rally surfaced with a second video posted on social media.

A college student from Fayetteville posted the video online that shows him being verbally and possibly physically assaulted while sheriff's deputies are escorting him from the political rally.

00:00 / 02:48
Adedayo Adeniyi, 20, a Nigerian who attends East Carolina University in Greenville, has said in interviews with The New York Daily News and the East Carolinian college newspaper that a Trump rally-goer slapped him in the face as authorities led him out of the Crown Coliseum, where the rally was held.

Adeniyi said in the published accounts that he was not protesting when deputies told him he had to go. Adeniyi alleges that deputies randomly targeted and tossed him from the event because he's black.

A Sheriff's Office news release said Wednesday that three deputies were demoted in rank and suspended for five days each without pay "for unsatisfactory performance and for failing to discharge the duties and policies of the Office of Sheriff."

Just wondering if Bill talks the same way he writes?

What exactly prompted 5 officers to witness a brutal assault & all unanimously decide to do nothing

2. What exactly prompted 5 officers to witness a brutal assault and all unanimously decide to do nothing about it?


John McGraw, who assaulted this young man, clearly acted as if he knew full well the police would not arrest him for assault. Why?

After he was assaulted, deputies threw Rakeem Jones to the ground and let his attacker walk free.

Five law enforcement officers in North Carolina have been slapped with short-term suspensions for their negligent role in the assault of a black man at a recent Fayetteville Donald Trump rally.

Rakeem Jones was being escorted out of the rally by deputies from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office when John McGraw, a Trump supporter, walked down an aisle and threw a vicious strike to the man’s face.

Instead of reprimanding and arresting McGraw, deputies actually threw Jones to the ground and allowed McGraw to walk free.

While police first claimed they didn’t see McGraw strike Jones, the investigation found that all five officers actually witnessed it and simply chose to ignore it....................

Good. News. Thanks for sharing.

Bill's worst night mares are beginning to happen: bad cops are facing justice.

My worst nightmare would be that no one is any longer willing to join the police department and if a neighborhood wish protection from the barbarians they would need to hired private security or do arm patrol themselves.

Yes armed patrol does work at least for short periods of a few months as when after hurricane andrew to keep looters at bay people was taking turns patrolling with shotguns in my community.

Your nightmare that will never happen should guarantee many more restful sleeps. LOL
