Police murder response
Police murder;
The Police are just humans and as most any group
there are going to be some crazies.
Americans understand this and understand the concept
of Police murdering people is an aberration.
Recent videos have shown the situation regarding
blacks is much worse than whites realized, most
of us had no idea how bad it was for the violation
of "being black".
Police have unintentionally aggravated the situation
in their reaction to suspected 'Police Murders'.
In New York the powers in charge found the police
officers who used a choke hold to kill a black suspect
for selling single cigarettes not guilty.
The Karma for their abuse of process was the murder
of two cops setting in their police car.
I want to be very clear here killing the two policemen
was wrong and I have no sympathies for the man who
killed the policemen.
But I am going to explore the mind set that lead to
the Police Officers deaths.
In Fergerson the Police stonewalled the public,
gave out no information, were not transparent
and were secretive about their investigation.
And that Police reaction to the shooting and death
of the black man lead to the riots in Fergerson.
The next case I want to look at is the Police Murder
caught on video tape, shooting the black man in the
back as he was running away.
In this case the Police had arrested the Police officer
with in three days and charged him.
There were no riots, even though the murder was
outrageous and egregious.
If there is a perception of Police cover up it leads
to riots.
If there is a general perception of the Police getting away
with murder cops often get shot, sadly.
In Baltimore the Police reaction was perceived as
a cover up, denial. Black man in police custody
had his spine broke and the focus was "Police
didn't do it, FOP contributed to this belief by
by focusing on denial not focusing on finding
the perp.
Which lead to riots unlike the Police murder video
situation.
The press has been very unfair to the Police in
all these situations, faulting Ferguson Police
response as to Militarized and now complaining
Baltimore Police as not Militarized enough.
Allowing looting and arson.
The Baltimore situation is different, three street
gangs maybe plotting police assassinations.
Which would bring in FBI terrorist units
and their inclusive surveillance bubbles.
And have made the Baltimore Police very
cautious, looting situation could be a set up
for a police ambush.
The Baltimore Police have shown great restraint.
Allowing demonstrations and not over reacting.
Seven Officers have been injured so far.
And no tasers, or shooting of rioters.
They are responding with overwhelming police
presents bring in another 1,000 officers or National
Guard to quell the riots.
Giving the Baltimore Police 10 days to give
a statement is an egregious error, and leads to
the impression of a cover up, you or I would
not be given 10 days after a murder to give a
statement. The Police should not be given special
treatment and should be held responsible same
as any civilian.
Police should be drug tested after any shooting
as standard operating procedure.
As we have seen Police response to any Police
shooting helps determines public response;
riots or no riots.
