I decided to post this because it highlights the same old tired-ass tricks that Whites who honestly don't give two-fucks about shit. Will see an opportunity to derail something directed SPECIFICALLY AT OUR SITUATION AS BLACKS. Where they will take and muddy the water strictly to destroy our cause/s where we cannot afford the set back. But Whites can. This article highlights how a White Teenager gunned down after Nazi-Cops try to pull a sting op on him and his weed selling girlfriend, goes wrong.
In the end there are those who are trying to push this All Lives Matter slogan, to offset Black Lives Matter. Now? I've meant what I said. Black Lives Matter? Let's see that shit take down Homan Square in Chicago. It's not gonna happen. But a combination of PHYSICAL PROTESTING OUT IN FRONT OF HOMAN SQUARE. While Black Lawyers bring lawsuits for Black victims from Homan Square. While ANOTHER GROUP OF LAWYERS bring CIVIL SUITS AGAINST CHICAGO, whatever violations they can find! Regarding whatever LAWS HOMAN SQUARE'S EXISTENCE BREAKS! BRING IT! While local Blacks TRACK AND TARGET THE OFFICERS WHO COME AND GO FROM HOMAN SQUARE!? RUN UP ON THEM WITH CAMCORDERS! BARRAGE THEM OUT OF THE BLUE WITH QUESTIONS! LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUCK THEY WORK! WHAT THEY FUCKIN DO! AND!? NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUCK THEY LIVE!
Now?
You can get somewhere.
Now standing around protesting means something. Because you have an ALL OUT OFFENSIVE BEING TAKEN AT WHITES WHO SUPPORT THIS BULLSHIT ON ALL LEVELS.
1) Bad PR
2) Costs the City Money in Lawsuits
3) Violations of whatever city, state, federal laws the existence of this thing brings
4) Actual PHYSICAL CONFRONTATION AND INTIMIDATION for the assholes who think they're so fuckin tough DOING THIS SHIT FROM THE SAFETY OF ANONYMITY!
When people have to LOOK OVER THEIR SHOULDER!? And they don't feel COMFORTABLE the way they USED TO. When they were snatching people up and making them DISAPPEAR at Homan Square? NOW? You're getting somewhere. But this article I'm about to post is typical for how Whites will do foul shit to EACH OTHER. Then because they see something THAT WE ARE DOING, then they say "You all only doing that for you cuz u'z iz Blak!"
And to that I say "YEP!" and this is another reason why shit hasn't been smooth sailing for us. Because Whites are ALLLLLLLLLLLLWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR GROUPS OF US DOING WELL! DOING GOOD! AND FINALLY LIVING AND ENJOYING LIFE! It's a sad fact, but it stems from the history of our interactions as people. So then at every little turn there is some shade being thrown UNNECESSARILY BY WHITES. To fuck shit up for us. Like the whole PC bullshit. NO BLACK PERSON STARTED THAT CRAP! Whites CREATED POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OUT OF SHEER PETTY SPITE! Because someone finally said "Can you at least address me by my fuckin name?"
"OH SO NOW I JUST CAN'T CALL YOU NIGGER!? WHAT THE FUCK'S NEXT, I GOTTA FUCKIN GIVE YOU VOTING RIGHTS!? OR FUCKIN PRETEND LIKE I LIKE YOU!?"
-_-
Here is the article;
Why unarmed teen killed by police hasn't led to national protests
The death of Zachary Hammond, a white South Carolina teen shot by police, hasn't led to widespread outrage. But it's more complicated than just a matter of race, analysts say.
Zachary Hammond was on a first date with a girl on July 26 in Seneca, S.C., when they stopped at a Hardee’s parking lot in his car. Police said they suspected the girl of selling marijuana and set up a sting operation to try and catch her in the act.
When confronted with law enforcement, Mr. Hammond attempted to flee and a police officer shot him twice. In the end, Hammond had been killed and his companion was charged with a minor drug possession.
The death of Hammond, who was 19, bears some strikingly similarities to the death of Samuel DuBose, a Cincinnati man who was shot by a police officer on July 19. In both cases, the two men were unarmed and the official police record that said the suspects attempted to run officers over has been called into question by conflicting sources. The difference in media attention thus far, however, is notable.When confronted with law enforcement, Mr. Hammond attempted to flee and a police officer shot him twice. In the end, Hammond had been killed and his companion was charged with a minor drug possession.
Currently on social media, debate is raging about the lack of attention Hammond's death has gotten from #AllLivesMatter proponents, who have been accused of trying to distort the message of #BlackLivesMatter activists fighting for parity for black people in the criminal justice system.
While race may be a factor in the disparity of media coverage – Hammond was white and Mr. DuBose was black – to some observers, the conversation on national racial dynamics in the case in Seneca is diverting attention away from more pressing questions about police brutality and transparency. And to reduce the question exclusively to the victim's race would be to oversimplify the matter, they say.
“The thing that I’m hearing from people is not just a narrative of racial justice. It is accountability for police forces. It is transparency. It is understanding how communities are being policed and what the average citizen has a right to do, or not to do, in those interactions,” Professor Clark told the Los Angeles Times. “In that case, Hammond fits right in.”
On Twitter, a number of activists have questioned the lack of outrage surrounding Hammond's death.
stand up for #ZacharyHammond not in spite of those #AllLivesMatter folks but because a 19 yo kid was murdered by cops for 3.5 grams of weed— the anderson system (@TheReelAnderson) August 5, 2015
Where are all the #AllLivesMatter people when it comes to #ZacharyHammond? All y'all looking funny in the light. pic.twitter.com/VeCbLAliG2— Matthew A. Cherry (@MatthewACherry) August 4, 2015
If you post #AllLivesMatter in your TL, then you better talk about #ZacharyHammond. A unarmed white kid shot in the back by police.— Mo Fei Chen (@DynaMoChen) August 5, 2015
Other reasons besides race exist that may partly explain the disparity in media attention. In the DuBose case, for example, dashboard camera video of the shooting was released and a Cincinnati prosecutor was willing to press charges and make statements in front of television cameras.
So far, also, media reports have not turned up a pattern of questionable use of police force in the small, suburban city of Seneca, as compared with New York or Baltimore.
The lack of this antagonistic relationship between law enforcement and the citizenry is mirrored by the lack of a strong community response to Hammond’s death.
“The community there has not organized protests or demonstrations,” reports The Huffington Post. “They haven't held rallies or vigils – or at least any that have been well-attended enough to attract even local news coverage.”
But a series of apparent inconsistencies in the official police record and the reticence of authorities to be open with their investigation is deepening outside scrutiny, at any rate.
So far, the police department in Seneca has refused to release the dashcam footage of the incident or the name of the officer that shot Hammond.
“We will not be releasing the [officer’s] name that was involved in the shooting and consider him a victim of attempted murder as we have previously stated several times," Seneca Police Chief John Covington said in a statement. "We feel that releasing his name may possibly subject the officer and family to harassment, intimidation or abuse.”
The original police report failed to mention the two shots that killed Hammond. An independent autopsy done at the family's request showed that the bullets came in through the side of his body, The Guardian reported, conflicting with the official report that said Hammond was driving toward the officer when he fired.
“The whole issue of race is getting distorted and what’s getting lost is the real issue, which is excessive force,” Eric Bland, the Hammond family’s attorney told The Washington Post. "The issue should be: Why was an unarmed teen gunned down in a situation where deadly force was not even justified?”
