Over the last month or so there has been a lot of Press surrounding the Police Killing of young men of color.The list of those killed or otherwise abused is long. These are just a few of the lives which were snuffed out by police. Many insists none of these men needed to die.
Which leads us to ask, “when did police become Agents of Execution”? I though Police Officers were supposed to serve and protect ! Who are Police Officers protecting and serving these days? The Media Spotlight was focused for a week on Ferguson Missouri, as the horrific killing of Michael Brown gripped people in America with souls and consciences. Now this does not apply to some, in this country certain quarters are only concerned when members of a certain group are killed.
Then everything comes to a halt and everyone is inundated with blanket wall-to-wall grieving and commentary. Despite the blood-letting of young African-Americans those concerned were mainly , .….. well .……African-Americans.
So how do you quiet all of this talk about Police abuse?
Wait, I got it, we will turn the conversation around .We will once again highlight just how violent Young African men are, that is why they are getting killed. But just how do we do that? … wait , wait, it will come to me.….…
Got it, we will go straight to the NFL ‚there are a lot of big, strong , abusive black men there, bingo.

1) Ask Ben Roethlisberger ‚On July 17, 2009, a civil suit was filed in Washoe County, Nevada District Court accusing Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting Andrea McNulty, 31, in June 2008 in his hotel room while he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebrity golf tournament.
2) On March 5, 2010, it was revealed that police in Milledgeville, Georgia were investigating Roethlisberger for a sexual assault inside the women’s restroom of the Capital City nightclub. The accuser was treated at Oconee Regional Medical Center. An emergency-room doctor and two nurses examined her and noted in their report a “superficial laceration and bruising and slight bleeding in the genital area”, but could not say if trauma or sexual assault was the cause. Milledgeville Police Sergeant Jerry Blash, who had posed for a photograph with Roethlisberger earlier in the evening, was the first officer to respond. At the scene, he made a comment about the accuser to Barravecchio: “We have a problem, this drunken [expletive], drunk off her ass, is accusing Ben of rape.” Blash later admitted denigrating the accuser and never formally questioning Roethlisberger; he did speak to the NFL player and his off-duty police bodyguards at the Capital City club, but according to Blash’s own report, Roethlisberger was hardly engaged and spent most of the time on his phone.[14]wikipedia
No charges were ever filed against Roethlisberger. In fact it appears the Police covered his ass.
The listof players who have run afoul of the law is well established.
Aaron Hernandez charged with double murder.
Ray Lewis charged and exonerated of Murder.
Rae Carruth Sentenced for conspiracy to murder . In prison.
Hubert D. Thompson murder of a 66 year old man. In prison.
Barret Robbins Attempted murder , dissapeared since 2007.
Jim Dunaway Murder, reduced to wrongful death for the killing of his wife.
Tommy Kane Manslaughter.
O. J. Simpson Murder , exonnerated , doing time for robbing his own property, in essence doing time for the murders he was not convicted of .
It’s not like the NFL has not been full of violent men for a long time. So why all of a sudden are we bombarded with round the clock coverage about wife punchers, head-butters and child spankers, when the League was always filled with murderers and sex offenders?
It is to change the subject . Guess what the subject is changed and you didn’t even notice. These people are awfully slick.
