2 New Orleans police officers fired / Videotape caught alleged beating of an unarmed man
But, it didn't stop there. One of those fired cops, Lance Schilling, committed suicide a few weeks ago rather than sit in a court room and answer for his crime:
Fredericksburg.com - Officer commits suicide prior to trial in beating
Just think about the ENORMOUS power we have at our disposal to, finally, end this plague of police brutality. Two rogue cops are now off the force. One of them is even off the planet. They will never again be able to hurt or kill another human being under cover of a badge. And, all this was accomplished without we, the people, having to sink to the level of the Bushes and the bin Ladens and resort to violence.
Every black person in America needs to run out, right today, and upgrade their cell phone to one that has a built-in camera. |
Wow! A little something, something called justice in this case. They keep this up we'll eventually end up doing alright.
But of course you have never heard of Devin Brown and little Susie Pena'. How about Amodou Diallo (sp). What about the young brotha that got smoked by NYPD on his wedding night? What about so many other people who are now deceased and the cops got off scot free?
What about all them killings in Ohio of young Black men being shot down like dear; No justice. All these people are dead.
What about the young man in LA who got beat upside the head with a flash light? Punched all in the back of his neck and head; Everything caught on camera. What did this young man do? According the witness statements per the media, he simply did not answer the barbarian when he was being questioned, Why? The young man was reportedly deaf.
The cops get of free and the main cop who did most of the beating wins a multimillion dollar judgement. Hes a millionair for beating on a deaf, defenseless 17 year old boy for no sound reason at all.
That New Orleans case sure does make me feel better.
