What Happened To Eric Logan?

A South Bend man was killed by the police. It forced the Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg to step away from the presidential campaign.

Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. The lowering of flags, moments of silence, street memorials, memorial parks, naming streets or parks after victims of gun violence, saying "Your heart goes out to..." and prayers are platitudes. Worthless platitudes to a crisis going on in the United States. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards when it comes to gun violence.

They will never get it through their heads that gun violence is an epidemic.

About 96 people are killed a day by gun violence. Not all gun shootings make the news.

They even dedicate gun violence victims online that don't make the national news.

Are you getting tired of this?

I know I am!

Two issues in the city of South Bend, Indiana. These issues have Democratic candidate for president Pete Buttigieg leaving the campaign trial to return to his hometown to face the wrath of angry residents.

A South Bend cop killed a 54-year old Black man. The cops claimed that Eric Logan was charging at the cop. The incident happened on June 16 and the tensions were bubbling up enough for Buttigieg to skip a fundraiser for his campaign.

The shooting of unarmed people of color have became an issue that Democrats need to address.

Many Black voters are concerned that the Democratic Party are taking advantage of their long-lasting friendship. They need us to defeat white privilege only to replace it with more white privilege.

Pete Buttigieg gets hammered for making this a political campaign stop instead of a real issue in his community. He is the mayor of South Bend and he's face heat for not doing enough with racial tensions.

Not happening. Democrats are very cautious about 2020. Buttigieg is especially. He is an openly gay man and one of the first serious contenders for the nomination. He can't lose the Black vote. The Black vote is very cautious about gay rights. We're warming up to it but it's still a challenge ahead.

Nonetheless, Logan was spotted at the Central High Apartments allegedly breaking into vehicles.

The cops claim that the suspect had a knife and lunged at one of them. The cop killed him. The body camera wasn't on at the time of the shooting.

Logan was partially in a vehicle in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Someone called 911 on a call about break-ins in the complex. Logan reportedly exited the car and was approaching the cop now identified as Sgt. Ryan O'Neill with a knife. The family is planning on suing the cop and the city with a federal civil rights lawsuit.

Logan died at the hospital after the shooting.

Buttigieg ran into a protesters while hosting a town hall in South Bend. Many were criticizing how he he's more concerned about being President of the United States instead of mayor of South Bend.

They blame him for allowing bad cops to kill people of color.

Some turnout to South Bend to protest the shooting. Many are calling for the cop and the police chief to be fired out the cannon.

Black Lives Matter protesters confront Buttigieg after the shooting of Eric Logan and the mass shooting at a local bar.

Buttigieg promises to rewrite some of the policies used by the police department.

Police chief Scott Ruszkowski has talked to the community and promises transparency.

Logan was a father, a son, a brother and a citizen.

Tammy Keys, the sister of Eric Logan said that the city needs improvements.

"We used to be a friendly community; now it's just guns. Put down the guns, everyone. It's so important."

I'm getting tired of repeating myself. I'm getting so tired of this.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

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

AGAIN, THAT RUSSIAN-BACKED BLUE LIVES MATTER CROWD WANTS TO JUSTIFY DETAINMENT, KILLING UNARMED CITIZENS AND BRUTALITY AS AN EXCUSE TO BLAME THE VICTIM. THEY CONSIDER BLACKS ARE OVERREACTING AND PLAYING THE "RACE CARD" TO HATE ON COPS. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT HATING ON COPS. WE JUST NOT GOING TO ALLOW OURSELVES BECOME THE NEXT HASHTAG WHEN WE DIE. 

I AM SICK OF HEARING THIS BULLSHIT.

CONSERVATIVES SAY THAT THERE ARE MORE BLACK CHILDREN LIVING IN SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT A FATHER.

IT'S FUNNY! WHEN THE POLICE SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN OF COLOR, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CHILD'S FATHER.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN AND WOMEN OF COLOR SAFE.

WE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE RACE SOLDIERS WHO BELIEVE THE BADGE IS THEIR WEAPON OF CHOICE.

WHY DO WHITE MASS SHOOTERS GET CAUGHT WITHOUT A BULLET FIRED AND AN UNARMED PERSON OF COLOR IS KILLED?

I don't have to mourn anyone's loss. Black men have to deal with police brutality almost everyday.

I've been subjected to unlawful searches, unlawful detainment, threats of arrest for filming cops doing their duties and attacked online for criticizing them. I don't condone violence towards anyone just in case trolls here are reading this.

Cops don't have a cape or shield. They wear bulletproof vests. Yet, they have a 60% chance of going home after their shifts. The most dangerous call for a police officer is a domestic violence call. Then comes the routine pull-over. The active mass shooter. The wild or domestic animal on the loose.

Cops have to be babysitters, therapists, bullies and enforcers. Some cops do their jobs by actively working in communities of color. Those are the good cops. The bad cops often post bullshit on social media, assume all people of color are acting suspiciously and make bogus claims to unlawfully search your car and home.

Black men and women have to stay on their guard everyday. Just like cops, we all want to go home tonight.

For every mass shooting, a white man is captured without a bullet fired. For every police shooting, a black man is either shot or badly injured.

This is the status quo.

We will cover the mass shooting in South Bend.
