| A restaurant owner was shot and killed by the Louisville Metro Police. Protests are to intensify. |
The George Floyd Protests have spread from coast to coast. Cities like Indianapolis, Louisville, Columbus, Cincinnati and even in Dayton have incidents where police shot unarmed suspects and no cop ever being charged for criminal murder.
The incident in late May has sparked unrest in Minneapolis and soon St. Paul. By the week's end, it was all over the United States.
White instigators have encouraged arson, looting and vandalism in attempts to undermine the message of the protests. The protesters want police to value Black lives.
They want police to stop shooting unarmed suspects of color. Stop treating white people with kid gloves and people of color with two fists.
So much is needed.
But in Louisville, they need body cameras on everyday.
Mayor Greg Fischer has fired out the cannon the chief of police after two incidents happened during the protest. A terrorist opened fire on protesters and injured seven.
All shooting victims are "stable and recovering", said Fischer.
And of course, the shooting of a restaurant owner who had nothing to do with the shooting Monday morning.

| YaYa's family express outrage over the LMPD's actions. |
David McAttee, 53, the owner of YaYa's BBQ in west Louisville was shot and killed by the law on early Monday morning.
He was known as a community pillar in the community. His grieving mother, Odessa Riley said her son was not involved in violence and didn't deserve this fate.
"He left a great legend behind. He was a good person. Everybody around him would say that," she said. "My son didn't hurt nobody. He didn't do nothing to nobody."
Riley was among the hundreds of protesters who swarmed the coroner of 26th and Broadway in Louisville. The LMPD and National Guard were dispersing the crowd when there were gunshots.
The National Guard and LMPD opened fire on the crowd.
"He would give law enforcement officers free meals."— Jenée (@jdesmondharris) June 1, 2020
And they killed him.
Do me a favor and never talk about how "we just need black communities police to understand each other better" again. Thanks. https://t.co/HFC4DxsEcX
David McAtee was shot and killed by LMPD officers and the National Guard this morning. Family and witnesses say law enforcement should have never been there. McAtee was serving food at his bbq spot at the time.— Phylicia Ashley (@pashleywave3) June 1, 2020

A man was shot and killed in Louisville after law enforcement said they had to "return fire" at a crowd of people.— Tasneem N (@TasneemN) June 1, 2020
He was identified by family members as David McAtee, a popular chef and BBQ joint owner who used to feed cops for free https://t.co/TkylyoGAYt
They cops had no body cameras on them and the terrorist who shot at them isn't caught. The victim ends up likely being a civilian but they'll get to the bottom of it.
The Louisville Courier Journal had spoke to McAtee some time back. They said that he helped serve hot plates to the homeless and needy in the community.
"Mr. McAtee would help us with Californian Day for at least 15 years, if not longer," said Greg Cotton, Jr, who lives in the Middletown neighborhood of the city. "He was one of the ones who would donate all his time and all his food; everybody could just come up and take it and he wouldn't charge because it was for the neighborhood."
The police chief Steve Conrad was promptly fired out the cannon two months before his retirement.
He was relieved of his duties after it was revealed that incidents like this and the police shooting pepper bullets on a journalist were not recorded on body cameras.
The shooting a local journalist and her cameraman were shot with pepper bullets during a live newscast. Kaitlin Rust worked for WAVE-TV was injured on Friday night when she was being forced off the streets during the mayor's curfew.

| It got violent that night. |
Kentucky governor Andy Beshear has ordered the national guard to monitor cities like Louisville, Bowling Green, Lexington, Frankfort, Paducah and the Northern Kentucky cities (the suburbs of Cincinnati).
Fischer has ordered a 9pm curfew for the city and downtown. The protest are expected to turn violent in the wake of David's death.
The cops were placed in the freezer pending an investigation into whether justifiable force was used.
Again, our opinions of the suspect or the deceased doesn't matter. The families of David "YaYa" McAtee and Breonna Taylor wants clear answers to why they were victims of police violence.
We're just sideline acts.

| During the day, the protests were peaceful but soon turned violent after tear gas was deployed. |
If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......
They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.
They watch violent movies.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.
Look at his history with police....
Look at his history with police....
Blah, blah, blah...
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM.
THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY.
RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" INDIVIDUAL FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
When people of color are shoot and killed by the police, will their medical and past history with arrest become an issue for the media to exploit?
You are warned, do not use the services of (Jeffery) Shaun King. Please avoid this individual. He doesn't represent Black Lives Matter in anyway.
