Justice Denied- So Why You Gotta Lie Craig..... from the movie Friday circa 1995

 

This week I have had two of my melanin challenged friends contact me about the above screenshots I'm sharing with you. I appreciate more than I can say, the confidence they both had in me to set the record straight. It's bad enough this young woman, nor her family have received no justice throughout this entire ordeal. This is not a new flash for most of my readers, but they, the police, the attorney general and anyone remotely involved in the dispensation of justice had zero any intention of providing any. This was easy to ascertain once the mayor ordered a curfew, set up roadblocks and enlisted the assistance of the state police to quell protest and or violence he foresaw, because he obviously knew which way the pendulum was swinging. I think in the minds of the city/state, it was easy to write a check for 12 million dollars in hopes that it would pacify the family and they would, in turn, encourage everyone to stop the protests. Well, I guess they were sadly disappointed. Money has nothing to do with JUSTICE. Sure, in the agreement they obtained some police reforms, but that really doesn't matter to the terrorist who wear blue. Ultimately, they are going to do whatever they want during their interactions with people of color, because they know there will be no serious repercussions. NONE.

Which brings me to the lies. This former police officer, who hails from Arizona had a lot to say about Ms. Taylor and her situation. His first lie was, she was terminated from her job in 2017 and she wasn't and EMT. He did get the last part right. She was a Emergency Room Technician, trying to be a nurse someday. His second lie was she was on recordings running drugs for her ex-boyfriend. I have had a friend incarcerated. In a federal prison. All phone calls begin with the fact that the call is being listened to. After all, you're a convicted felon, you have no rights. I visited with him once, with the glass separating you and speaking on a phone, STILL LISTENING. As far as written communication, anything that crosses the line is redacted. I know these things first hand. So unless they were both stupid in the extreme, this is all bullshit! They would've arrested her in a hearbeat. A Black woman Queenpen, PLEASE. The officers even though they had a "no knock" KNOCKED ANYWAY? Really. Out of 11 people questioned, only ONE heard the police announce themselves. Wonder why one person heard what ten others did not? Let us not forget, according to Officer Friendly, that they had her under surveillance for months for running drugs for/with her Ex. That is so laughable. The Ex they were surveilling was already locked up and she'd moved on with her life with another. HE WAS ALREADY BEHIND BARS! What kind of investigators to they have in the state of McConnell? More like the Keystone cops of old. Please note, in the middle picture, Facebook sicced the fact checkers on this cops meme and showed him to be one sick individual.

This officer Brandon Tatum is of the same ilk as Candace Owen. They will say whatever to assuage the guilty feelings, if any, of the Republican party. They are so deeply entrenched in that party, that they forget they are subject to the same treatment as other people of color. It's okay white racists, we're here for you. Its almost easier to understand Kentucky's Attorney General being in the sunken place, due to his ties to the Republican party in general and McConnell in particular, having married his niece(although, who knows because he will NOT let his wife's name be released). 

It's horrible this beautiful, apparently extremely loved young woman didn't get to live out her days as I'm sure she would have wished. It's equally horrible that even with the 12 million paid, they never admitted any wrongdoing and could not find it within themselves to issue and apology. But what I want is for them to stop disparaging her character. It's the least they can do, since she got no justice. All I want, beside justice, is for the lying to stop. Point, blank period!

She's not the only one. They love to dredge up the past of murder victims killed by those sworn to protect and serve. In America, they need to reminded that their job is to arrest, not to try, and execute right on the street. Everyone is to get their day in court. Not just the white ones, which strangely always get to court, and might get treated to Burger King on the way to the station house.

STOP THE LIES!!!!!
