Of course people are pointing to his long rap sheet and other shit to devalue his life, because simply being black isn't enough like the good ole days

It is nice to see the black PBA taking a stance. Eric gardner is a whole ball game. I have never seen such an idiotic jury in my entire life. Even with a video, they still didn't want to indict. Sad day for Mr. Gardner. Sad day for Justice.
They have good reason to. The establishment in Greater St. Louis only protects white cops. http://ca.askmen.com/news/power_mon...ndicted-black-cop-for-hitting-man-s-hand.html http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...cle_267e68a7-8496-5663-8c81-a951172a904f.html
The line of attack is "You don't want your movement built around this guy, because he was a thug." What they don't get is that he is precisely the person upon whom it will be built. If the law doesn't serve the "least of these" then it isn't a law at all. You shouldn't have to be perfect to receive Equal Protection and Due Process.
Already made a thread about this but thought you might enjoy this. It's fucking blowing my mind right now https://twitter.com/hashtag/crimingwhilewhite
It's all an illusion broheim The fix was IN when it was reported that more whites do drugs than blacks, yet blacks are more likely to get time Waiting for Archie to chime in with his infinite wisdom on that one Oh wait...don't need it.... It's common sense that if you police minorities like there's no tomorrow and be lax with whites, ur going to catch more blacks in the wrong Ain't that America privilege Yet Barkley says blacks have a lot of criminals, like it's only us Difference is we get caught
One of them made a great point, the ultimate white privilege is implicating yourself in a crime without fear of arrest. It that ain't freedom I dont know what is
Shoot First ask questions later... Shoot First ask questions later...Most Police Departments have that creed. There is a Marital Art called Taiho Jutsu that is used in Japan and is specifically used for Police arrest and control tactics. No suspect gets killed in Japan that is unarmed. Certainly choke holds are not used. Barack Obama has to change the system. All Policeman in America should be trained in Taiho Jutsu. Body cameras is a good start but is not enough. They didn't shoot Eric Garner...
