    Lots of injustice. This is not the time to sit on our butts.

    The strategy of putting a BM in the white house was to unleash the gods of war on Black people.

    While we celebrate a hollow victory they are sharpening their knives.

    You don't see Jews crawling around wishing for a Jewish president...they'd rather own the banks and companies that run the president.

    They have enough sense to realize the anti-semites would come at them in full force and they would be blamed for the worst economy ever.

    It's not worth it..especially when you consider the POTUS is merely a corporate mascot.

    “I wish someone would pull a Ferguson on them”: Louisiana cop resigns for racist text

    Glenn Beck was right–the events in Ferguson really have brought out the best in people. Let’s take, for example, a police officer from Baton Rouge who resigned on Thursday after a local news channel reported that he had sent a series of violently racist text messages, including one in which he said he wished his fellow officers would “pull a Ferguson” on a “bunch of monkeys.”

    The police officer in question is 15-year veteran of the force Michael Elsbury who resigned after the texts were shown to his superiors. In another text, he wrote, “I wish someone would pull a Ferguson on them and take them out. I hate looking at those African monkeys at work… I enjoy arresting those thugs with their saggy pants.”

    After WBRZ reported on the text messages, [a] friend turned her phone over to the police, who spent two days combing through it in order to authenticate the messages. At 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday night, the Baton Rouge Police Department had collected enough evidence to place Officer Elsbury on administrative leave.

    On Thursday afternoon, he tendered his resignation.

    Police Chief Carl Dabadie said that “it was gut-wrenching to believe that someone had that much hate in them, especially a police officer who is out there enforcing the law every day. It made me sick to my stomach.” Chief Dabadie said that he understands how an incident like this could “cast a bad light” on the entire department, but hopes the community can appreciate the alacrity with which the incident was handled.

    Elsbury is also the subject of a criminal investigation, according to a police spokesperson.

    It's an epidemic and no sign of it slowing down.
    4 Black mothers have lost their sons in 2 weeks :(
    Go through the agony of childbirth to have a son. Raise him (often alone, with no emotional or financial help from the father), sacrifice for him, invest in him.. only for him to be shot down like a dog in the street.
    When will Black women's sons be viewed as just as human and valuable as other women's children?

    Attorney: Darrien Hunt Shot 6 Times While Running Away

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A young black man who was fatally shot last week by Utah police lunged at the officers with a real sword that had a 2.5-foot steel blade, prosecutors said Monday.

    Reports from Darrien Hunt's family that the 22-year-old was carrying a toy sword are not accurate, said Utah County Chief Deputy Attorney Tim Taylor.

    "It wasn't plastic, it wasn't wood," Taylor said. "It appears to be a real samurai sword."

    The Saratoga Springs Police Department is under fire over the fatal shooting of Hunt last Wednesday. The city removed a critical social media posting that accused the news media of reporting innuendo, opinion and rumor as fact with the police chief apologizing for the remarks.

    Hunt's mother has accused police of shooting her son because he is black. Police say race played no role.

    An attorney for the family says an independent autopsy shows Hunt was shot six times while running away.

    Taylor said investigators are talking with witnesses and gathering surveillance video from the strip mall to piece together what happened. There are at least three businesses nearby where the shooting occurred that may have surveillance cameras that captured moments of the encounter, he said.

    The shooting is being reviewed by a coalition of investigators from different agencies who review officer involved shootings under the direction of Taylor's office, Jackson said. The two officers involved in the shooting are on administrative leave, per standard protocol.

    The social media post Sunday, around the same time more than 100 people gathered at a candlelight vigil for Hunt, only brought more attention to the shooting. On the police department's Facebook page, they asked for the public to be patient and rejected the notion that there was a cover-up.

    "Everyone should remember that the news outlets have ratings they need to gain. They don't report facts. They use innuendo, opinion and rumor and then report it as fact," the post said. "The real facts are being determined by an independent investigation, and not in a rushed or haphazard manner."

    Saratoga Springs Police Chief Andrew Burton on Monday apologized for the post, asking again for patience and understanding from the public and the news media as they work their way through an extremely complicated investigation. He said in a statement that their frustration about not being able to answer questions about the incident led to the post.

    Randall Edwards, an attorney for the family of Darrien Hunt, called it a foolish statement to make but said accusing the media of a bias when the facts aren't on your side is a common response.

    "There are a lot of raw emotions over this very intense thing. You're going to have people who are going to make statements that later on reflection they are going to wish they hadn't made," Edwards told The Associated Press.

    Edwards said an independent autopsy requested by the family shows Hunt was shot six times, all from behind, which he said demonstrates that Hunt was running away. He said Hunt died from a bullet that hit him square in the back.

    Taylor declined to comment on that autopsy, saying investigators are waiting to see the results of an autopsy done by the state medical examiner.

    Police say the shooting happened Wednesday morning after they were called to investigate a "suspicious" man walking near businesses while carrying a "samurai-type sword."

    Saratoga Springs is home to Mia Love, who is vying to become the first black Republican woman ever elected to Congress. She served as mayor of the city of 23,000 people from 2010 to early this year.

    Keep up the good work, Sirius. People need to know that blacks can also be innocent victims, not just a bunch of brainless thugs as the media portrays them as. Its quite a surprise the modship doesn't go after you for your pro-black posts as they did with Kid Rasta. I wish I can rep all of them but I'm just too low on rep.
