Justice. Or Equality.

They hate "Others." And they will always support their own kind against "Others." No matter the circumstance or situation or even Crime.

It's the American way (SEE American history).

Btw Update: "GoFundMe Shuts Down Campaign For Officer Charged With Murder Of Walter Scott"

A fundraising page dedicated to South Carolina police officer Michael Slager was shut down by GoFundMe on Wednesday. […]

NOT suprising. Last night I learned that, just like in the case of Ferguson's rotten police department, the police department of North Charleston is made up of mostly White cops (including its Chief of Police) policing a predominately Black city..

Even LESS surprising is the fact that just like in the case of Ferguson's rotten police department, there is a HISTORY of "problems" concerning how people of Color are generally treated by the (mostly) White police force in North Charleston.

This madness has got to STOP.

And let me preface what I'm about to say by first saying this….

Running from a cop _and certainly struggling with a cop is rarely…IF ever…a wise move because Either action CAN get you killed, especially if you're a Black man in America.

Now let me also say this………

The cold-blooded execution of Mr. Scott goes way beyond a cop yelling "Freeze" and Scott disobeying that order. SEE Slager PLANTING the taser. And SEE other cases of Unarmed Black men killed by (mostly) White cops.

Bad cops ACROSS THIS COUNTRY feel comfortable in beating and killing Black (and Brown) males. They feel confident that they're account of what led up to the beating or killing will generally be accepted by:

1. people who go outta their way to give cops the benefit of the doubt. And more importantly,

2. people who, more often then not, end up serving on a jury in such cases

In rare instances of a cop being charged with murdering someone, the narrative is almost always the same – the victim (usually Black) allegedly attacked the cop (usually white) which left said cop "no choice" but to use deadly force. Jurors (mostly White) grasp at straws, giving bad cops the benefit of the doubt, even in the face of video that CLEARLY contradicts the cop's account!?! Bad cops are found Not Guilty by that jury. He walks free. Case. Closed.

In this case, someone like RWG looks at this video and SEES room for debate – Scott "must have done something to provoke the situation" thus causing his own death because "I have a hard time believing this cop woke up thinking he wanted to kill a black man that day."

I look at the same video and SEE what is CLEARLY right in front of me. The Truth.

And please note- it is ONLY because of this video that Slager has at least been charged with murder and fired from the police force.

But this ain't over. There's still a trial to come. And nothing short of a Conviction will suffice.

Nothing.

Never seen a donation page for a known murderer before.
