Now this Clip CLEARLY is disturbing. It starts with a high speed chase, then the suspects car goes off the road, flips over and ejects them from the vehicle. The suspect is CLEARLY immobilized at this point. Makes the job easy for the police right? NO.
They proceed to get out of their CAR(S) yes plural, and "Rodney King" the suspect while he is defenseless on the ground. Uhh... This is clearly illegal and excessive force. It's equivalent to beating a paralyzed man with a billy club.
I'm noticing a pattern that is steadily increasing. Police officers abusing their badge, taking justice into their OWN hands, and absolutely nothing happening. Dont think I forgot about the police officers letting off Iraq War amounts of ammunition into Sean Bell in New York.
People talked about that for a few months but then, went back to dancing. What is WRONG people? Stop letting the system think we are just gonna sit by and do the Stanky Leg while they continue to violate us and our civil rights. Civil = Human.
They don't even give us credit for being HUMAN. Some of you all might not know this but just in case you didn't... Did you know that in the early 1900's that a black person was only considered 3/4 of a person.(Someone corrected me in the comments, it was 3/5 of a person and it was called the "The Three Fifths Doctrine) And not by opinion either. THAT WAS IN THE F*CKING CONSTITUTION. The one that PROTECTS our rights. Hmmmmm. If you don't believe me, go look it up. Yes put down your Lil Wayne Cd, and pick up a damn book. Do some research. Or better yet, you obviously have a computer so Click here and read this "F*CK SH*T. We aren't to far removed from that people. Martin Luther King was just marching in 68. We JUST got a HALF black president in 09. Sh*t aint changed, Just the way THEY do sh*t has. Klansman don't wear Hoodies nomore, they wear police uniforms, or business suits and sit in Congress and MAKE LAWS. If you listen to my music... I talk about this. But I think I'm gonna have to Cook yall up a new batch of truth because this is getting outta hand. And like Alliyah said "we need a resolution." You know what "F*CK THAT!!! We need a Revolution!!
YOU wit' me?? Forreal People it's time to FIGHT THE POWER! And to my HIP HOP N*GGAS... USE YOUR VOICE TO EDUCATE OUR YOUNG SOLDIERS. No not the military soldiers... OUR YOUNG BLACK YOUTH. They aren't gonna get that from ANYWHERE but us!
And if we're too busy concentrating on the "Trap" and how much our diamond encrusted "slavemaster Chain" is, they're never gonna know, and sh*t just like in that video is going to keep happening. So c'mon family!! It's time to educate. Believe me, you can educate to a beat! Fight the Power!

Actually, the "3/4 of a person" was 3/5 - it was called the "Three Fifths Doctrine" and ironically, though it's often cited as an example of violation of rights, helped to end slavery in the US. By rule, every 5 black people were only counted as 3 for census counts that determined the number of representatives a state could have. This had the effect of lowering the power available to slave-holding states and increasing the relative strength in the House of Representatives of states in which there were no slaves. Many in slave-holding states would have preferred to have slaves counted 1-for-1 as it would have given them more power without the slaves having any say since they did not have any voting rights anyway. Other than that, yes - you are absolutely right about the abuse of power in this country, it is disturbing and wrong and definitely something that should be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteThere is no excuse, no matter how many words you put together, you cannot come up with ANY explanation for this behavior. It's disgusting. We have to DO SOMETHING...now.
ReplyDeleteSee thats the power of the internet, Even I learn something new everyday. Thank you for your response and for your input. These things happen way to much for my taste and it's good to see that people do pay attention... Now if we could just get more too do the same
ReplyDeleteIt just makes me so upset to see videos like this and you know what I'm tired of seeing these so called police who are suppose to be here to protect and serve not doing that and if you ask me they are the criminals now days always feeling like they are above the law when they are the ones breaking it.. And it really just makes me SICK! it's time to take action and come together as a whole and speak up about this and demand change...
ReplyDeleteThe video speaks for itself, this person was thrown from a car and not moving. The police think they are above the law and day after day they abuse their badge. They realize that nothing will become of their behavior. Yes we need change, it may not happen over night but we have to start somewhere.
