African Papers Express Outrage At US Police Lynching Of Black Men (Pictute)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


For many black Americans, the election of their first black president signalled an end to the bad, old racist days and a beginning of the good, new tolerant society. But alas, 6 years on, black people’s lives – especially the lives of young black men in America – are as little valued and are as likely to end at the barrel of a white policeman’s gun in Obama’s America as they were before him.

On his way to his grandmother’s house, “Mike-Mike”, the name his family called him, was set upon by a white policeman who emptied his gun into the young man because he was jay-walking – that is, walking in the street instead of on the pavement.

For John Crawford, too, death came at the end of the barrel of a white policeman’s gun. On 5 August, four days before Michael Brown’s killing in Ferguson, the 22-year-old Crawford was shot and killed by two white policemen in a department store in Beavercreek, Ohio, while inspecting a toy pellet gun he was interested in buying.

“He looked as though he was going to go violently,” one of the policemen who killed John Crawford said in the local press. But a video recording revealed that Crawford was shot without warning and that he was talking on a cell phone to his family, who say they heard when he was gunned down by the police and when he took his last breath.

Like John Crawford and Michael Brown, Eric Garner was also killed by a white policeman. But Garner did not die at the end of the barrel of a gun. He died an even more primitive and brutal death.

The sickly, overweight, 43-year-old asthmatic, who also suffered from diabetes, died after being wrestled to the ground in a New York street by a gang of white policemen, one of whom locked his arm around Garner’s neck in a deadly choke-hold.

The choke-hold, which is banned by the NYPD, crushed Garner’s windpipe, stopped his breathing, and killed the husband and father of six. MOREHERE

      THE problem is that dead men can’t talk. So think about it, Who is going to get the chance to talk.
      Is it going to be you or the other person? It’s called choices because the law, appears, does not apply.

      Show me a law that proclaims, you will be shot, for any reason the other person believes he has a right to or can because of position. Did you not know that you have to have a PERMIT to live? It must be so because the other person has a premit to shoot you/ kill you. To have That PERMIT (permission) means you have given up your rights to live as a free man, called contracting. I think its time for people to do a little bit of soul searching, who decides your death, a coporation or YOUR MAKER?

      You Americans need to start standing up to these murderous thugs in mass, chase them away, if you all turn on them as a community you will have them all phoning in sick. make them afraid to go to work and not you fearing to go about your daily lives.
      Things will not get better until you all stand together, today it’s a innocent man on the bus tomorrow it could be you dead in the gutter because your wearing a t shirt that a cop thug does not like.
