I never said I agree with what was Tweeted; All I said is that I understand where this is coming from.. I know, it's easier to make baseless claims instead of posting an intelligent response... This women's dad was killed in cold blood. Naturally the family is going to be emotional...

I'm here to fight against white supremacy, not appease it...
pointing out your sad hypocrisy is 'going crazy' ?

Well, count me in.

no 'white supremacy' on this thread for you to whine about, so you'll make some up to bravely rail against

LOL, this guy...

When you're owned try to move the goal post without anyone noticing, LOL.. We all know the radical vocal group of CD posters who subscribe to this ideology. We also know that they're not fooling anybody with their propaganda..

These guy was no hero whatsoever.
Hero or not, he didn't deserve to be killed like that in cold blood. It's disgusting how people can just get online and undervalue lives just because they're black...

"Killed in cold blood?" C'mon.
What should the cops have done when the subject resisted arrest?
They should have had a conference and decided that the criminal
was in too poor health to be detained and just let him go. Right?

Of course, you haven't heard a peep from the MSM condemning/calling out this blatant racism.

The ironic thing is that people across all racial and political lines believe in the need for policing reform. But when you have some who consistently try to racialize matters, you will never have the unity that you need to truly bring about reform.
Extremely poor taste, but I'm not going to hold it against Erica or her dad.

To say that this is detestable would be putting nicely. Such a tweet is racist or close to it.

How nice to see whoever's using that Twitter Acct. outing her/himself as a racist, they must be very proud.

Whose side did you take when the cops choked her father to death over loose cigs?

Yeah...big bad criminal. Comply or die, right? Even if all you’re suspected of doing is selling loosies!

BTW...chokeholds are ILLEGAL on the NYPD.

This is why the 1st amendment is so awesome.

It not only exposes the truth and your emotional feelings, but also the fools that pop into your life.
