JUSTICE: The quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral-rightness: Dictionary.com.
VENGEANCE: punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense :Merriam-Webster.
Whether its the conniving calculative release of information on the weekend by Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Dononan Jr, that there would be no criminal charges against the cop who used an outlawed choke-hold to murder Eric Garner .
Or whether it’s Cleveland Prosecutor Tim McGinty following the same tact announcing in the calm of the Yuletide season that there would be no charges against the cop who summarily gunned down 12 year-old Tamir Rice the duplicity is the same.
When is it ever legal or lawful to gun down a 12 year-old child and no one is held accountable, and in particular one who is trained to protect life ?
Or are they?
There are a couple of things which went wrong that cannot be denied or brushed aside by McGinty.
(1) Why did the dispatcher not tell patrol (officers going to the scene) that the caller to the 911 center had intimated that the gun may have been a fake?
(2) Why did the two cops not pull up at a safe distance and order Rice to drop the weapon?
(3) Why did the officers lie that they ordered Rice to drop the weapon when clearly they did not?
(4) Wasn’t it clear after they shot the child they knew it was bad so they lied to cover up what they did?
(5) Why did they not render first aid to the dying 12-year-old even as a passing FBI Agent stopped by and attempted to resuscitate the mortally wounded child?
(6) Should the family of Tamir Rice just go away and shut up even though Timothy Loehmann who killed their son was deemed unfit by another police department and the Cleveland brass knew about it?
Timothy Loehmann was specifically faulted for breaking down emotionally while handling a live gun. During a training episode at a firing range, Loehmann was reported to be “distracted and weepy” and incommunicative. “His handgun performance was dismal,” deputy chief Jim Polak of the Independence, Ohio, police department wrote in an internal memo. The memo concludes with a recommendation that Loehmann be “released from the employment of the City of Independence”. Less than a week later, on 3 December 2012, Loehmann resigned. According to the Gaurdian.com Cleveland officer who fatally shot Tamir Rice judged unfit for duty in 2012.
JUST ANOTHER SMALL OBSERVATION !
Not speaking to Bill Cosby’s innocence or guilt in the litany of sexual allegations against him, I still wonder just how authorities can dredge up information to substantiate criminal charges against the embattled comedian even though in all of the cases save one the statute of limitations have expired.
Might I add also that even in the single case in which Cosby is charged criminally the statute is slated to expire in a month.
What is the rush at all cost to charge Cosby with a crime?
Speaking at a press conference after the charges Prosecutors said it was their duty to file charges. Umph I wonder why it;s never their duty to bring charges when Black people are murdered but it’s always their duty to move mountains when the suspect is black?
A MILLION DOLLAR BAIL FOR 78 OLD BILL COSBY AND THE SURRENDER OF HIS PASSPORT ON A SINGLE COUNT OF AGGRAVATED INDECENT ASSAULT.
How ironic that a 2004 case of aggravated sexual assault can be made out against a black man but even when we see murder with our own eyes we are told we should not believe what we see?
Two separate justice systems and they are unashamed , it is disgusting , it is insulting, it is nauseating.
Whether or not Bill Cosby is guilty of the allegations against him is irrelevant in this context, it is the absolute double standards and the dastardly inequity in a criminal justice system which prides itself on the notion of fairness .
It is and has always been a farce and a fraud.
You hit it out of the park! This is vengeance, Malice, and deep-seeded hatred towards “Bill Cosby! ” This is the reality of the white man’s justice…
Here’s a man made the most disparaging, demagogue, and vilified black people and sanitized the white people’s actions for the suffering and abject poverty that black people are living in America.
The circle of friends, who was protecting Bill Cosby, have abandoned him and throws him to the wolves (the liberals) to destroy him and his legacy!
Although, there’s no corroborated evidence, the prosecutor charge him for an incident that happens close to twelve years ago. The main reason, is because the man his black.
What is happening to Bill Cosby is tantamount, evidentiary, and a reminder of lynching of the black man by the Southists in America; if a black man looks at a white woman under wear that was grounds to lynched the black man and it is the same thing with this case.
So, this is a reminder that there are two sets of justice in America. One for whites and the other is [in]justice for the blacks. This is the reality of being black in America. You are guilty until proven innocent!
Race is very important to everything that happened in the justice system in America.
The double standard, when it comes onto race in America continue and don’t think that the systemic system of racism is not going anywhere.
We have seen for ourselves, that the police keep murdering black people with no abatement or accountability from the state or local prosecutor see it fit to file charges against Cosby because the statue of limitations is about to expire. How convenient!
To date not one prosecutor file charges against the law enforcement officers when they are overwhelming amount of evidence to support the claims of murder of a young blacks or Hispanics even when the evidence is there.
White supremacy at work in this case!
It’s done shamelessly, disgustingly, and nauseatingly and without fear of being challenged, they simply do not care.
