It is so amazing that one group of people can so fervently despise another group to the point of forgetting they took an oath to serve and protect. It seems they are on a constant quest to systematically reduce an entire populace based solely on the color of their skin. It boggles the mind and defies explanation how they, "peace officers" seem to get away with it with very few exceptions. George Floyd and Botham Jean seem to be the only victims of police violence whereas the perpetrators have met with justice. If there's more, please bring them back to my remembrance in the comments below. IMPUNITY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. During deliberations for Mr. Floyd, another young Black man was cut down in Murderapolis. Duante Wright. Since young Mr. Wright, there have been NUMEROUS OTHERS. It seems the boys in blue suffer from something that renders them more deadly than COVID-19. The disease is in the ranks and is spreading rapidly, and apparently, like the Coronavirus, there is no cure. Officers with personnel files chock full of misbehavior are returned to the streets, and evidently assigned rookies to train in the field.
Black people are not safe in their beds, sofas, driving, shopping, dining out, in short, ANYWHERE. We are killed just living our lives by the biggest gang in Amerikkka. Patrolmen. Police Officers. And blue is their color, murder is their mindset, and extermination is their goal. Cops are a gang, albeit a legal one. They stick together as fiercely as the boys in the hood. They will lie, corrupt evidence, and try to have us disbelieve what our very eyes have witnessed. Gaslighting at its finest. In my opinion they are all corrupt today. If they weren't, tragedies that Black and Brown people experience would be cut down exponentially, if they had the wherewithal to pursue the miscreant brethren they have, weed them out, and decide that this is not policework, but annihilation of specific groups of people simply judged by how they walk, talk or dress. Sadly, the "good cops" have no spine. They are gutless individuals with extremely low morals and no heart. Everyday, in Amerikkka it would appear we are living an episode of The Shield. Here a dirty cop, there a dirty cop, everywhere a dirty cop.
I'm not the QAnon type, by no stretch of the imagination. But there is an agenda, and if you cannot see this, I don't know what to say to you. The influx of drugs in our communities, couples with its unfair sentencing laws, decimated many communities. Steel production, where most young people could get very good paying jobs with minimal education shuttered and went out of the country. Which left what in its wake...? Nothing. Crime is, to too many, an easier way of taking care of their families. Minimum wage won't cut it when you have mouths to feed. This became a tool in the removal of many Black men, and women from the communities. But I think arresting them and sending them off for long sentences was not eradicating the problem of having Black and Brown people in the community. Eventually, most will return to their hometowns. So I believe the thought became, "just get rid of them." You can't come back if you're dead. Someone, somewhere put out a hit on Black people. Increasingly more Brown ones as well. Even the FBI have stated that white supremacists groups have infiltrated the police ranks. But what I cannot understand is why Black cops and Brown ones don't stand up? Maybe the blue supersedes the Black which cannot be washed off?
I invited two police officers I know well to participate in a podcast. I requested questions from my Facebook friends as to what they'd like to ask a cop. One cop, a former policeman, retired, told me he'd do it in the spring, and lo and behold, he didn't even have the balls to respond once I submitted your questions. The other would never commit to a date, and when pressed constantly changed the subject. Keep in mind, I gave both the questions ahead of time. I'm not the one to blindside you. But they both punked out. I have zero respect for either now. They should have just had the balls to inform me that this was a bridge too far, and had a change of heart. Of course, I would have brow beat them. I wouldn't be Ilia and not. But I might've been able to keep a modicum of respect for them. Now, sadly, that's irretrievably gone.
Like I said, that gang is like none other. Crips, Bloods, Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE BOYS IN BLUE! Even the afore mentioned gangs never have their dirty work recorded because they know the outcome. Boys in blue don't care. They're filmed all day and still resort to heinous activities. A cell phone does not deter these loose cannons.
Summer is bearing down on us. Be careful out there. Not just of drive-bys perpetrated by warring factions in the hood, but those flashing blue lights as the storm up behind you. Both are deadly, but only one goes to jail. UH HUH I SAID IT!
