Another Black Man LYNCHED by Police

Another Black man fell victim to the power of police brutality during a traffic stop gone terribly wrong.

It sickened me to view the mother of Tyre Nichols watch the body cam and the cameras in the surrounding area show the unmerciful beating her son endured at the hands of five Black cops. He succumbed to his injuries three days later.

When is this madness going to end? When are law makers in the federal, state, county and city governments going to write legislation to protect the people with legislation of police accountability. It is very disturbing when you see over zealous White cops beat, maim and murder Black community members. It's even more disturbing when the cops are Black. The reaction of the community should be the same reaction of a black man falling victim to homicide at the hands of a Black cop as if a White cop committed the heinous act.

I send my heartfelt condolences to Tyre Nichols' family. I also send this message to all Black cops and future Black cops. If you think you can kill a Black man with your body cam activated and in view of other cameras on poles, then you must be the dumbest fool to think that you can get away with that in this day and age. It took not very long to terminate and charge these five Black cops, as compared to the time it took to terminate and charge the cop who murdered George Floyd.

We the people. Race First! We must unite and become of one mind and not allow those that we elect to represent us to act like clowns. My one question is what is taking so long for the DOJ, state, county and local governments to act on this similar types of behavior/crimes within our city law enforcement agencies across the country. I already know why it's a slow process here in Buffalo. Everybody from the second floor to the chambers of the Common Council is scared of the police union. Have they all forgotten that the police union reports to the mayor and or Common Council? What does the police union have on them? Hmmmmm Im just saying.

I pray that if there are protests they will be peaceful. I pray for Justice for Tyre's family and all those families that have gone through the cruel and harsh pain of a child slain at the hands of fools who take an oath to protect and serve a community and instead do just the opposite.

In conclusion, I look back at all the programs that I have seen and participated in growing up like the P.A.L. (Police Athletic League) . These programs are ways to create better relations with law enforcement and communities. So question, how do you reach out to a child, or for that matter an adult, ask people to participate in book bag give aways and community relations building, when a child learns that his brother or dad or an uncle or a cousin was headed home and was stopped then beaten and died because a cop said he fit the description, or my personal favorite, that he (the cop) feared for his life.

I agree that all cops are not bad. But as good cops, if you continue to keep your mouths shut because of that "blue wall of stupid," then you're not just part of the problem, you're the biggest part of the problem.

To the pastors that are already out there on the ground, stay up. Calling on the rest of the churches - where are you all at? The people need to see you out here in these streets. We don't need you in front of cameras with all that gobble dee goop or out there trying to get favors from city hall.

We need you, the church to be out here fighting for the community.Everybody is not a criminal. Most are hard working people, educated ,decent citizens and veterans .

To our Black elected officials, have you forgotten the struggles and sacrifices of those ancestors who came before you? Stop selling out the EAST SIDE! Come on people let's come together and elect those who have our best interest at heart; which should be the first prerequisite for us to even consider giving them our vote! I'm just sayin...
