In what seem to be unprecedented killing of people by American police more and more people are getting a look at what cops actually do while they are not looking, of course they claim to be doing it in the name and supposedly for the public’s protection.
As a former cop myself I know too well the dangers inherent in the job. At the same time I find it offensive that anyone would use the risks associated with law enforcement as a reason to commit murder.
I say this despite doing policing in Jamaica one of the most violent and dangerous places to do policing , and oh by the way being shot in the line of duty.
So I really am not deterred by killer cops wherever they ply their trade, neither am I mindful of their rabid inconsequential supporters who support the murder they visit on defenseless citizens.
The attack the victim strategy will never deter me from speaking out against police killing innocent people and lying about it . I believe that on every occasion a cop kills a member of the public and lies to justify that illegal killing the victim and his/her family is slaughtered twice.
As I said in a conversation just this morning the argument that police officers do not leave home and go out to kill people is utter and total bullshit.
To those making that argument I say listen to the language of the white cops who are caught on tape telling unarmed members of the black community “I will fucking kill you, open your mouth and I put a fucking bullet in you head” !!!
Does that equate to intent in law ?
Intent can be expressed, inferred or implied , guess what ? Expressed intent is the most credible . So when a cop tells someone I will kill you and does that it exactly proves intent. What better way to know a person’s intention that the words which the person utter?
Only that they are not charged with murder as they should be , like every other member of the public would be.
Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being by another human being with malice aforethought .
Guess how we prove malice?
Malice is proven by the words or deeds which preceded the act.
So when a cops says’I will fucking kill” you and does he commits murder why he is not prosecuted for the crime rests with the people who chose to remain ignorant of what is being done in their names.
In America there will never be outcry about the mass of police murder by the broader society as long as the victims are Blacks and Latinos.
It serves their purpose well , they defend it because these uniformed killers carry out the sadomasochistic slaughter that they themselves would like to engage in.
Thus far this year cops have killed every (8) hours Let that sink in. Law enforcement in the US killed 92 times more people than a country with nearly 1.4 billion people. Cops Have Killed Every 8 Hours in 2015, Sending At Least Three People to Early Graves Per Day Read more at http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cops-killed-8-hours-2015-early-graves-day/#APAFivz6rsruAuXT.99.
Police have killed roughly over a (1000) people for the year 2015 and it still is not over.
As of March 6th, just a little over two months into 2015, there has been at least 191 individuals killed by police in the United States since the year began. That’s 191 people divided by 65 Days which equals 2.93. This averages out to three people killed by police each day or 1 life taken every eight hours by Law enforcement.
So Far In 2015 Police Have Killed Three People A Day.
One of the greatest bit of hypocrisy surrounding this whole police abuse of citizens is what Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy did in what is known as the
Leahy Amendment.
In the final days of the first session of the 105th Congress, the House and Senate approved H.R. 2159, the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs for Fiscal Year 1998. In a major victory for human rights and arms control public interest groups, the Leahy Amendment survived the conference committee and remained in the final version.
The amendment, located in Section 570 of the bill, states the following: “None of the funds made available by this Act may be provided to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible evidence that such unit has committed gross violations of human rights, unless the Secretary determines and reports to the Committees on Appropriations that the government of such country is taking effective measures to bring the responsible members of the security forces unit to justice: Provided, That nothing in this section shall be construed to withhold funds made available by this Act from any unit of the security forces of a foreign country not credibly alleged to be involved in gross violations of human rights: Provided further, That in the event that funds are withheld from any unit pursuant to this section, the Secretary of State shall promptly inform the foreign government of the basis for such action and shall, to the maximum extent practicable, assist the foreign government in taking effective measures to bring the responsible members of the security forces to justice so funds to the unit may be resumed.”
Obviously abuse of human rights and dignity only happen in other countries because I have not heard a single word , neither have I head of any legislation from either Patrick Leahy or anyone else on the mass slaughter of black and brown
people in America not to mention the cumulative assault on their dignity and self respect daily.
How about a bill which bans funding to police departments which abuse the rights of citizens?
How about a bill which goes after killer cops who have lengthy records of abuse and no action is taken to rid the department of them .?
It is not enough for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to say “I own it , it happened on my watch” , it was Emanuel and other officials who sought to keep the viscous cold-blooded slaughter of Laquan McDonald under wraps.
Laquan McDonald could be alive today if the aggressive racist piece of human garbage parading as a police officer was removed from the department long ago .
Jason Van Dyke reportedly had over (20) complaints of abusive and harmful behavior to the public and in one case a member of the public was even awarded thousands of dollars yet no action was taken against Van Dyke, he was allowed to keep wearing the uniform of a police officer.
Emanuel is not sorry for the killing of this troubled teen , he is sorry the facts were forced out into the open by journalists who stayed true to their commitment and calling.
Can Emanuel, the Prosecutor or police officials say the same ?
In the age of round the clock talk about terrorism and the demonizing of Muslims when misguided zealots commit mass murder while hiding behind religion, it is easy to disregard the home grown terrorism right here by a different kind of terrorist operating under the banner and with the protection of the law.
Chicago cop Jason Van Dyke fired (16)bullets into the body of 17 year old troubled teen Laquan McDonald. He kept firing even as the teen’s body lay on the ground twitching . It was the most egregious example yet of police terrorism I have ever seen.
Van Dyke fired (16) bullets at Laquan McDonald even as McDonald was felled by the very first shot.
The first bullet was illegal because he had no reason to fire his weapon.
The (15) bullets Van Dyke fired after McDonald was down was reckless, depraved, indifferent , viciously murderous, callous yet they revealed the level of murderous intent Jason Van Dyke harbored for the people he collected a salary to protect and serve.
It is the same sick demented yet blatant risqué willfulness with which Staten Island cop Daniel Pantaleo murdered Eric Garner.
The same casual unmindful deliberation with which Ferguson Missouri cop Darren Wilson viciously fired and fired and fired until Michael Brown was a bullet riddled mass of human remains.
The sick callous disregard for black and brown lives are well documented from the unconscionable slaughter of (12)year Tamir Rice to the man who evaded police on the Saw Mill River Parkway who had no weapon but ended up killed by police anyway.
White shooter Dylan Roof slaughtered (9) people who welcomed the demented savage into their prayer meeting he was captured alive.
On and on we see white privilege at work in the most egregious and shameless way , they don’t even try to defend it, certainly not since Barack Obama ascended to the presidency>
It is a white-lash[sic] at the temerity of a black man to attain the highest fortress of white Supremacy, they can’t get to him but they will get to those they can. Some argue the slaughter has been going on forever we were just not aware at the breadth, width and depth of it , neither were we aware of the heights to which Racism is still entrenched in the society.
Until you begin to listen to Senior Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia you probably thought you could trust the courts to be just. Now you get an idea of what people of color are up against in this land of the free home of the brave.
The advent of social media and camera phones have seismically changed the paradigm, they do not deny it much anymore they simply enforce it.
Alternet.org said this.
White shooters live and maybe get a Whopper on the way to jail. Black suspects don’t get the same royal treatment.
A bit of an understatement however the website said .Privilege consists of unearned advantages. Privilege is a system of power relationships. And privilege consists of all of the inconveniences, challenges and opportunities denied that a person does not have to ever think or worry about.Warped White Privilege and the Planned Parenthood Killer.
Amid the (24) hour mass hysteria surrounding the issue of Islamist terrorism , far more whites are killing everyone else in America and far more police killings are occurring than people killed by Muslims.
Those are the irrefutable facts.
They have no shame , they never did. They killed the Indians. They killed millions during the slave trade .They killed millions more after and they will kill as many more as they are allowed to kill. It’s in their DNA.
