"Man Who Made 911 Call That Led to John Crawford’s Death Admits He Lied"
Beavercreek Ohio? I'm not surprised; Dayton, Cincinnati and all of Southwestern Ohio that place and I can pretty much guarantee you nothing will happen to that man that placed the call.
The whole irony of it is that I'm supposed to be mad now. Black people have always been bludgeoned by the cops. Back in the Civil Rights Movement we suffered far worse atrocities than what these young kids are experiencing. But we're supposed to be mad, because of media coverage of what goes on every day in the neighborhood anyway.
And I hate to say it, but regardless of what the outcome is in Baltimore and Cleveland the fact remains that we'll still be back out there killing each other, not that it ever stopped or anyone took a break to protest. I don't advocate it, and it sickens me to see it I hope that never happens to me if I have a run in with the cops but the truth of the matter is that none of it changes anything. Plus its a cop problem, not necessarily a White male problem, so I honestly am not trying to see cops of any race, for any reason. The media is portraying it one way but we never hear about what Black cops are doing, or when White people are bludgeoned by police, because it does happen.
If I am understanding the Baltimore situation correctly the sergeant was a Black woman and there were also two Black males involved, but the White males made the arrest. But if you look at the charges, am I to believe that all six of them were either beating down the suspect, negligent, or indifferent? Or was there a ringleader of a circus antagonizing and encouraging others to carry out acts against the suspect it is all very confusing.
You bring up a lot of very good points. I remember talking to my grandparents very early on, who'd been through the Civil Rights Movement, and their opinions surprised me.
Some of my worst experiences have came from black officers. In my last incident, 2 white officers actually disobeyed orders and diffused the situation. If it had been up to the black seargant I would have been tazed.
I think you should tune into #TheMovement. The ones who really started 'The Movement' that your seeing right now before it was attempted to be co-opted by the media and Dems. BlackLivesMatter is that co-op. That's why your hearing the race narrative pushed so hard and the victim narrative.
Taking Back the Radio is who started '#TheMovement' which is the youth led Revolution that is addressing these social issues. The Movement isn't divided by race, even though the company that started it is mostly black owned. The reason you have the 2 separate Movements now is because of the attempted co-opt.
I think you'll see some changes in the black community but its just going to take time. The Movement is not just addressing Police issues. Basically what happened during the protest is the media attention was diverted away from The Movement, the protesters and Taking Back the Radio and given to BlackLivesMatter, your paid protesters and some of your bigger orgs.
The irony of using BlackLivesMatter to hurt black business and progress. That's probably the biggest irony.
Ever hear Kendrick Lamar's 'The Blacker the Berry'? "I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015..."

Black Lives Matter reminds me of Occupy Wall Street.
I heard that album but I didn't like the art direction. The seventies funk and his raspy voice is not what I want to hear. I like old Kendrick, before he got signed. Rigamortis, etc.

I'd even say Occupy was a little more grassroots. BLM basically put up their banners and logo in front of everything that anybody was starting. They didn't actually start anything.
There were a lot of people doing a lot of great things, but you only heard 1 name. That was by design.
I think you answer yourself in your own response. "Like" as in an estimate. As in, me alluding to the fact that it was a kid. He rolled up close enough to know Tamir Rice was not a full grown man. His own stupidity to drive up within feet of what he believe to be an armed man, along with his overreaction to the boy's actions led to a kid being killed. I don't lie. Out of all of these years you'd think you'd learn that. I don't always know all the facts, but I never intentionally mislead people or give false facts.
You can't even get basic facts right such as his height & weight even though you use such facts to prove point. So whether you lie or not is irrelevant. You have already demonstrated that you don't have enough knowledge of the actual facts to make a relevant assessment.

One always has to view movements that are co opted by the media (when that movement co opts some other grassroots, underground movement) with suspicion.
A lot of these individuals are creating their own platforms and are not genuinely interested in what is best for the Black community. They're opportunists at the end of the day.
For all I know it could be just another white liberal moron camped out on a comfy chair at Barnes and Noble.
