Tamir Rice….

Well….try as I might, I just can’t come up with a political topic…one terrible thing that happened just a little while ago is that they are not going to charge the cops that shot Tamir Rice…I wonder how they can get away with that…a 12 year old kid standing in the park, the cops roll up and shoot him in less than three seconds…and lied their asses off about it and they don’t get charged? I guess we saw this coming when the prosecutor started dumping on the kid and his family and leaking details that were lies to poison the grand jury pool…and, this guy is still not in the slammer? I just have no words about this crap that seems to happen every day here in the US…..shoot first,  cover it up and lie seems to be in all the police training manuals across this country…and that makes me sick…..geez….

Another thing I don’t understand…

Well…just read an article about the “tips” that the St. Louis police force tweeted the other day for young black kids to follow to make sure they don’t get shot by the police while playing with toy guns…first, don’t ever use them…anywhere, anytime…and if you do and the police come…throw them away and lie down on ground so you don’t look threatening to the police….not like any white guy that is open carrying a rifle on his back into anywhere he wants to…no, not like that…or not like the white guy with an assault rifle that was threatening to blow cops heads off while drunk and in the street….then, the reaction was to politely ask him “what’s wrong, and is there anything we can do to help…”  a little different than the reaction Tamir Rice got when he was playing with his toy gun while black…when the police screamed up to him, piled out of the car and shot him within 5 seconds. What is the takeaway here? Don’t be a black kid…anywhere, ever, or you will die by the police….when are we going to do something about this crap?  Geez….

What is wrong with this country?

Well…with all of the attention on the killing in Ferguson, we have to remember that it was not the only killing by police of an unarmed black man that has happened lately. Earlier in the summer, a New York city police officer choked a black man to death because he was selling single cigarettes on the sidewalk…all of this was caught on tape showing that the officer used a choke hold that was specifically made illegal by the department and there was absolutely no aggression by the victim. But, today, another grand jury decided not to indict this ass of an officer…just like in Ferguson, another cop gets away with killing a black man for absolutely no reason….and now, we find today that the cop in Cleveland that killed Tamir Rice…the 12 year old black kid, was fired from a small town police department because he was unstable…but that didn’t matter to Cleveland, they hired this idiot anyway….and this is the result…another dead black person. What is wrong with this country to let this kind of stuff happen…I am at a loss for words…geez….

Here we go again…

Well..it would be nice to not have to do another one of these on another police shooting of a young black kid…but, here we go again…last week in Cleveland, a young black kid was screwing around with a pellet gun and the police showed up…within seconds, and with only shouting at the kid, a cop just shot him dead. This time the kid was doing what I and millions of other kids have done in their lives…just fooling around with a pellet gun…for a white kid, it would have been a nothing event…the cops would have just walked up to him and asked what was going on….why didn’t they do that here? Are the cops so afraid of a 12 year old boy that they shoot first and ask questions later? I am afraid that the outcome here is going to be the same as Ferguson…no cop being held accountable and their lawlessness being reinforced and rewarded…again…while the rest of us lose our faith that the laws of this country mean anything anymore….
