What Happened To Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr?

Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr. (EJ) was killed by the police in a case of mistaken identity.
Remember the National Rifle Association's old saying, "A good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun."

Remember the words, "doctors need to stay in their lane."

The NRA and Republicans want our asses dead. They don't give a fuck about the deaths of thousands. They care about putting money into Congress to look the other way.

Once again, you're not safe in a hospital. You're not safe in a church. You're not safe in a nightclub. You're not safe in a school. You're not safe in a public venue. You're not safe with Republicans in charge of government.

Are you tired of "thoughts and prayers?"

Are you tired of flags being lowered?

Are you tired of people offering their hearts to the victims?

Are you tired of "moments of silence?"

I am. I am very tired of hearing the same old word vomit from politicians, celebrities and those who want to feel good about doing nothing.

Well I guess when it comes to armed Black men, to cops, it's a active shooter.

The active shooter isn't a good guy or a bad guy. It's an armed civilian. Cops make split decisions. Regardless, the cop who shoots an armed individual must follow protocol. If the shooter was disabled without proper warning, the cop could face disciplinary or criminal charges.

Well on Thanksgiving, I talked about the umpteenth mass shooting in the United States. This happened at the Riverchase Galleria in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover, Alabama.

The law put the work into the wrong man. Now there is an active search for the actual terrorist and a cop could be facing a cannon firing.

Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr. was on military leave for the holidays. He was supposedly the armed gunman the cops shot inside the mall. The 21 year old was an active duty Army member who had no criminal history. He wasn't apparently the person involved in the fight which led to a 18 year old teen and a 12 year old girl being shot.
The law shot the wrong man.
The cop was placed in the freezer pending a decision regarding deadly force being justified.

The terrorist is on the loose. He will likely face attempted murder and possible murder charges. He will also face involuntary manslaughter because of the death of a civilian. These charges could carry LIFE or DEATH in Alabama.

The county boys of Jefferson and Shelby will be assisting the Alabama public safety and U.S. Justice Department in the police shooting.

The mall is now facing a backlash from residents. The civil rights groups want the Hoover Police to explain why the initially thought Emantic was responsible for the chaos.

Known as EJ, the family was not happy to hear their loved one being killed.

That mistake shows the real issue to why cops are facing backlash from people of color.
We can't take this shit anymore.
Famed attorney Benjamin Crump who assisted the Trayvon Martin case will now take the role as public voice to a family grieving over an unnecessary killing of a person of color by the hands of dirty cops.

Dirty cops will always get good cops killed.

The graphic photos of EJ's lifeless body are spread across the social media. His name was slandered by those on the far right who always assume Black people are criminals at birth.

You won't hear apologies from the Hoover Police, the Jefferson County boys, Gov. Kay Ivey, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL), Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL), Mike Pence or Donald J. Trump.

Matter of fact, you won't hear Trump mention the name until April Ryan or a credible journalist force a question on him.

Sad.

For all the tweets, Trump will not mention this incident.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

AS EXPLAINED IN EARLY POSTINGS, BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

A RESTRAINING ORDER IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. IT WILL DRIVE A PERSON TO KILL THEIR SPOUSE, PARTNER, CO-WORKERS, CELEBRITIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE THE TIME BOMBS FOR A MASS SHOOTER.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT BLACK ON WHATEVER CRIME. WHITE MEN ARE FAR LIKELY TO COMMIT MASS SHOOTINGS. THEY OFTEN ARE GUN HOARDERS, FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS AND DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

HOLD THIS CONGRESS AND YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE.

ENOUGH OF THE GUN VIOLENCE
