When They Slaughter People For No Good Reason
The recent shooting of three black men in Queens, New York by five cops has ignited outrage from the families and community leaders. Leo Terrell (I'm not sure about that last name) was on MSNBC this morning, and man, was he pissed, and rightly so. Here are two of his comments:
"Every time black people are shot by police, somehow it's always justified."
"Prosecutors need police, so they don't prosecute police."
Mayor Bloomberg has called the use of force "excessive."
It's been reported that the police believed the men may have been armed. Rev. Al Sharpton said, "Policy should not be made based on an officer's imagination."
There is no evidence that they were armed or that they were doing anything wrong.
One officer fired 31 out of 50 something shots, which means he had to reload.
It's also been reported that the men were trying to run down the officers with their car. Even if that's true, it shouldn't require 50 shots.
Bloomberg rejected claims that the incident was racially motivated, citing an NYPD policy against ethnic profiling.
Many black leaders have said the victims, all African-American, were unjustly targeted because of their race.
"There's no evidence that race had anything to do with it," Bloomberg said. "The police officers were as diverse as the people in the car."
So what? Hasn't he heard of black on black crime?
I know someone is going to say I shouldn't base my opinion on the actions of a few. To that I say, "A FEW??" Meaning all incidents in which black people have been beaten or shot by police, not just this one.
If those pigs are aquitted, I wouldn't blame the black community one bit if they rioted, and I hope they slaughter a few pigs.
