Stevonte Clark crashes city hall. He warns Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg that his days are numbered. The death of his brother Stephon has become a national issue. Trump choose to ignore it. |
If I hear another conservative talk about the lack of Black fathers....
The police managed to detain white mass shooters without firing a single shot. The Florida mass shooter was caught an hour after he massacred 17 people in Parkland. The mass shooter who killed a high school student in Maryland went out like a punk. A mass shooter in California massacred three before he went out like a punk. Did I forget to mention he was a veteran with PTSD. He was an Asian American man.
The police managed to detain an Asian American attempted bomber. The bomber sent improvised explosives to government agencies. He was detained without a single shot fired. The bomber who managed to kill two and injure 12 people including a SWAT officer went out like a punk. The bomber was White, conservative, and inspired by the rhetoric of radicals who promote an alternative reality of the United States.
And a young Black man who fled the police is shot 20 times after the police claimed he was holding a gun. Turns out it was a cell phone.
Sacramento we have a problem.
Cops kill another Black father. Stephon Clark's death brings tension to Sacramento. |
Shoot to kill.
Stephen's brother and members of Black Lives Matter crashed city hall.
Stevonte Clark brought his A-game. Clark told Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg to shut the fuck up. He told those in city hall that the mayor and the police don't give a fuck about you. He said that poverty is high, gang violence has caused distress to neighborhoods, the media slanders his brother and people of color, and the country better know his name.
Stevonte was shouting the pain that many families of color feel when cops get away with murder. They feel like the city, the state and the federal government failed Black America.
Secretary of State Xavier Baccera said that the state will do all it can to make sure a proper investigation is done. Governor Jerry Brown stated that the state will ask the Department of Justice to investigate.
Count on that being a waste of time. Jefferson Beauregard Magoo and Donald J. Trump believe that police officers have been under attack. They believe in "law and order." They don't see gun violence as a problem. Trump already called the NFL players a bunch of SOBs for taking a knee. Just think what he thinks about when Black men protesting injustice by law enforcement.
The White House offered their take to the police continous killing of Black men. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the shooting of Stephon Clark was a "local matter." It's an unfortunate matter. Think how Trump reacted to the unrest in Baltimore, Charlotte, and Berkley.
In regards to the decision not to charge the cops involved in Alton Sterling shooting and the cop in the stranglehold death of Eric Garner, she said it was a local matter as well.
In the words of David Hogg, "no more" to the inaction by the protected class of lawmakers. Time to get your resumes ready, cause the pressure to kick these bums out is strong and it could help motivate young voters to the polls.
