Cop Kills Handcuffed Man In Police Station Back On The Job, District Att. Makes No Ruling…

Look at this video of a police Seargent, Tyler Longman telling a hand­cuffed, men­tal­ly agi­tat­ed Michael Chad Breinholt, “you are about to die, my friend,” then shoot­ing Breinholt, killing him.
The killing of Breinholt was the third known killing by Sergeant Tyler Longman.
It may not sur­prise you that this killing hap­pened almost two years ago and that Longman is back on duty. But wait, there is more; those of you who fol­low my work also know that I con­tin­ue to make the case that cor­rupt pros­e­cu­tors and Corrupt and com­plic­it judges are a big part of the police cor­rup­tion scan­dal in the United States; so it sure­ly should not sur­prise you that the dis­trict attor­ney has not filed charges either has he said there is noth­ing here.
If there were noth­ing there, the dis­trict attor­ney would sure­ly have said it two years ago. The fact that noth­ing has been said or done by the DA’s office is a clear sign that they know that there can be no rea­son­able jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for mur­der­ing a mental/​inebriated man inside a police facility.
The obvi­ous con­clu­sion is that the dis­trict attor­ney’s office is aid­ing the police to see if this will blow over.
It is also impor­tant to under­stand that the media had to fight like hell to get this video from the police department.
So as we all know, Police Departments are laws unto themselves.
They make arrests, make deci­sions on life and death, exe­cute offend­ers and non-offend­ers alike, then decide if any­one sees or has the right to see what they did.

These things hap­pen to peo­ple of col­or, and the major­i­ty of the white com­mu­ni­ty stares into space as if “oh well!” Here is the rub though, Michael Chad Breinholt was not black.
Michael Chad Breinholt was white„ but that did not stop them from esca­lat­ing this minor issue into a sit­u­a­tion that would jus­ti­fy them killing him.
Most impor­tant­ly, the cop who killed Michael Chad Breinholt had killed twice before while on duty.
Some peo­ple stu­pid­ly believe that these types of blood­thirsty killings will only be vis­it­ed on Black and Brown peo­ple„ which brings me back to a Michael Niemoller’s quote that I have come to use quite a bit these days; First they came for the social­ists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a social­ist. Then they came for the trade union­ists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade union­ist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.

Unfortunately, the moth­er of Michael Chad Breinholt is left to grieve the loss of her son. Whether she was sym­pa­thet­ic to the tens of thou­sands of moth­ers and fathers who lost their chil­dren to police vio­lence is irrel­e­vant at this point.
The larg­er issue here is that this police vio­lence may dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly be affect­ing Black peo­ple at this point by virtue of Black’s per­cent­age in the wider soci­ety, but make no mis­take about it, these abu­sive psy­cho­path­ic killers are killing even more whites numer­i­cal­ly that they are killing Blacks.
It seems how­ev­er that the white soci­ety are pre­pared to accept these white vic­tims as col­lat­er­al dam­age in the larg­er war on black people.
It is kind of like drain­ing the pool and doing with­out pub­lic pools and suf­fer­ing in the sum­mer heat rather than share the pool with black cit­i­zens, some­thing that they are know for.
