It begs the question of just where will the outrage emanate? Will the outrage originate with Sharpton? What about Jackson? What will the usual suspects state about this situation?
I understand that the alleged perpetrator was captured, but it should not simply end there. The cop was killed for stopping a drug transaction. It was a petty ass drug transaction at that. It's the only type of transaction being conducted in African American communities these days.
Will there be a call from African American leaders to stop drug dealing in black communities? Will they organize marches or seek out the media as a means of highlighting the negative effects of drugs or will they continuously bellyache about black incarceration rates?
I really have absolutely no idea the point you are trying to make. You are all over the place fighting 30 battles. If someone murders someone and it's not in self defense then they should be arrested and charged with a crime. It's really that simple.
I'm really not fighting any battles I'm making a succinct point. When a police officer kills someone there is an immediate rush to judgment. If race is involved then the rush to judgment heightens. The usual suspects come out of the woodwork to drum up support for the possibility that foul play is involved. There isn't any due process only speculation and some sort of conspiracy theory. That's what occurred in Ferguson it appears.
Even when confronted with the truth the theory will persist.
It doesn't help matters when this occurs. There are witch hunts being conducted whenever a cop kills someone and when it is reversed it's simply dying in the line of duty. I understand that it's part of the job but there also needs to be a light shined in regards to circumstances which led to the guys death.
If that particular situation would have gone another way the race pimping bloodhounds would have been out in full force demanding justice. If everything was equal and the perpetrator would have been killed it would be another bout of black lives matter too. It's interesting to note that the guy's sister is already claiming self defense even though apparently the victim was killed by her brother's gun. To quote her " you know how they do"
He died because he interrupted a drug transaction. I want to know which African American "leader" will step up to address the effects of drugs on communities? Hopefully that clarifies it.
