Philly Cop Stops Black Man, Tells Him ‘All You Do Is Weaken the F---ing Country’

[Crashed~N2~Me 970]

I was too scared to talk back because we were taught police will kill us.

Well...that's a pretty good way to keep a child outta trouble with the law. It's like - you better be nice for Santa - on steroids.

ETA - Many many steroids.

I didn't look like a riff raff. I was in a dress, I did say we had government interns, and we were driving down a very popular street. It was called Poplar Ave by the way, that many people take to get out of downtown Memphis. I was interning for Human Resources, and my brother was interning for the Sheriff's Department. We both still had bages clipped to us. We received the interns through what was called the Shelby County Commisioners program back then. And they were paid internships.

Well getting into a little trouble and me not ever being in trouble before is different. I boo hooed like a baby. I was too scared to talk back because we were taught police will kill us.

Who taught you that?

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Who taught you that?

My parents and many people in my neighborhood growing up.

Now I understand better the paranoia.

For the most part, this is still kind of true. This guy's wife calls for an ambulance to help her husband and instead they killed him.

New York, an off duty police officer calls 911 because he was robbed and in pursuit of the suspect. They came to the scene ad killed him because he was black, therefore had to be the suspect.

A guy has a car accident and was knocking on someone's door for help, unarmed. The police shot and killed him, unarmed.

Rodney King speaks for itself, we all know that.

George Zimmerman, so called security officer.

Unfortunately, the police officers are still the boogie man for many blacks.

Lets not forget my own personal experience a a child and my brothers.

Just facts.

Not that you would know this but it's commonplace for us to be suspicious of the police. I've said before I've been the victim of police brutality as many friends and co workers have gone through various degrees of harassment.

The cops handle us differently. No matter how you dress, no matter how hard you try to fit in, no matter where you go to avoid them, it always finds you. And it's the same thing, we have to restrain ourselves. Doesn't matter what they say or how they treat us, it's what we have to go through. And instead of trying to fix the problem, we are told, it is what it is.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

I don't trust anyone that carries a gun, cops included.

It's one thing to tell your kids how to act around cops or even warn them if you think they might profile them,

but when you teach little children that -Cops want to kill you. That has a warping effect on a child, this is why Blacks today feel more aggrieved than Blacks who actually lived under the heel of a two tiered Gov't.

Oscar Grant, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell. You love stats, find me the white men version of these three black men. Or Kendrec McDade, the black man who was shot 7 times, 3 of those shots were fatal, handcuffed AFTER he was shot because he was "combative", and left to bleed out. Or Chavis Carter, the man who was handcuffed, double locked, searched twice, put in the back seat of the police car, somehow produced a handgun and shot himself in the head.

I can go on and on..

The folks I listed, they didn't have guns.

[Crashed~N2~Me 970]

Oscar Grant - Shot while he was resisting arrest. Cop claimed he meant to taser but pulled his gun instead = Involuntary manslaughter.

Amadou Diallo - Shot after he ran from cops... officers thought he pulled and aimed a gun....shot him.

Sean Bell - After ordered to stop by officer - Accelerated & Hit an African American (Isnora) cop with his car ...then - Isnora thought Bell drew a gun & warned his fellow officers - they shot him.

Mcdade - Robbed and ran...ran towards cop car...cop freaked and shot.

Three Dog Night came to mind while reading up on these fine upstanding citizens....

Three Dog Night came to mind while reading up on these fine upstanding citizens....

Amadou Diallo: The officers claimed they loudly identified themselves as NYPD officers and that Diallo ran up the outside steps toward his apartment house doorway at their approach, ignoring their orders to stop and "show his hands". The porch lightbulb was out and Diallo was backlit by the inside vestibule light, showing only a silhouette. Diallo then reached into his jacket and withdrew his wallet. Seeing the suspect holding a small square object, Carroll yelled "Gun!" to alert his colleagues. Mistakenly believing Diallo had aimed a gun at them at close range, the officers opened fire on Diallo. During the shooting, lead officer McMellon tripped backward off the front stairs, causing the other officers to believe he had been shot. The four officers fired 41 shots, more than half of which went astray as Diallo was hit 19 times. No criminal record.

Sean Bell: Other accounts of the conflict with the police. According to Joseph Guzman, the plain clothes detectives never identified themselves when they approached with drawn weapons.^[12]New York Daily News reported that the officers failed to warn Bell before opening fire, beginning to shoot as soon as they left their cars

Mcdade:

On March 24th, Carillo lied to 911 call dispatchers, telling them that two armed Black males had robbed him of his backpack, which reportedly included a laptop. Carillo’s claim that the males were armed reportedly caused the officers to pursue the suspects aggressively, causing McDade’s unfortunate demise.

NewsOne reports:

According to Pasadena Police Chief

Philip Sanchez,

the erroneous chain of events and tragic end result was ignited by that phony phone call and accounts for the mindset of the officers, who wound up killing 19-year-old

Kendrec McDade

because they thought he was armed with a gun.

Carrillo allegedly lied about the robbery because he thought it would encourage a speedier response. It worked. Investigators fled to the scene, murdering McDade and arresting another teen and then charging him with two counts of commercial burglary, one count of grand theft, and one count of failure to register as a gang member as a condition of his probation.

While it is obvious that Carrillo shouldn’t have lied about the robbery, through published reports, it seems that he is being thrown under the bus for McDade’s murder. No matter how other media may try to “report” on the fatal incident, it seems that the main blame should go on the officers.

Grant: While there had been previous cases where police officers confused guns with Tasers, modern Tasers weigh half as much as handguns.^[11] The prosecution argued that the position of Mehserle's Taser "in relation to his duty weapon, combined with the different 'feel' and color of the two weapons made it highly unlikely that he would have mistaken one for the other."^[110] Burris responded to claims of Taser confusion by arguing that video evidence did not support the idea of Taser confusion and, in any event, Mehserle had no reason to fire his Taser.^[4] Mehserle was wearing his Taser on the left side of his body (on the opposite side from which he wore his gun) -- but set up for a cross-body, strong hand (right-hand) draw.

Yes they are taught the police and middle aged white vigilantes are the threat.

The over 90% that are murdered at much higher than average by other blacks.

That does not count
