What Happened To Roderick Walker?

Georgia cops off the beat after assaulting unarmed passenger.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

It keeps happening. And every time a cop kills another person of color, you're going to expect "an eye for an eye." The latest round of police violence happens in the country will set off a catalyst.

This is happening in "Donald J. Trump's America." If we re-elect Trump and Mike Pence, we're going to have more chaos and it could lead to violent acts towards people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ individuals, immigrants, those in law enforcement and currently serving politicians.

Trump is running on a white nationalist platform. He will try to pin all the blame on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a last ditch effort to win over white voters. With Russia propaganda and agitators from both sides of the spectrum trying to sow discourse, it's going to take a miracle to drag Joe Biden across the finish line.

We are in a fucking coronavirus pandemic. We have civil unrest from coast to coast. We have natural disasters getting worse. We have an economic crisis in the country. All this while we're only less than a few months from Election Day.

Black people are getting fed up with this.

We protest.

We call for justice.

We call for peace.

We call for change in the way police handle situations.

We say we all want to go home.

We register to vote.

And nothing ever changes. It's getting to a point where now, if more Black men and women are killed by police, there's going to be someone who harbors hatred towards law enforcement plotting to assassinate police officers at their weakest points.

It touches the nation's politicians, entertainers, athletes, social media activists and families of the victims. We see these incidents over and over again. Never in my life, have I seen this much brutality from police towards people of color.

Trump, himself had told cops to rough up people.

A man riding in a Lyft is dragged out by police.

Okay, you far-right agitators are starting to piss us off. You have the audacity to sit here a post images of Black men with firearms and knives in order to justify the reasons of police to shoot and kill. Just last week, you have two fucking white terrorists shot protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin and Portland, Oregon.

The police practically allowed the Kenosha shooter walk away after he shot and killed two people.

BE WARNED THE VIDEO AND IMAGES ARE GRAPHIC.

Still, we see another incident where the police kill a man and someone films it. It hits social media and goes viral. They tell us to not rush to judgement. You're only getting one side of the story. But when the world see the unprecedented killing of a citizen supposedly being detained by police, you're not going to believe the bullshit a cop's gonna tell you.

Trust me, I don't believe the cop's version.

It seems like it never stops when it comes to cops violating the civil rights of people of color.

You are reminded that if you're the passenger of the vehicle, you do not have to give out any information to any law enforcement officer unless they spotted a criminal act in progress.

You have a right to not consent to a search of your vehicle.

We're going to send a message this election year.

A white Georgia sheriff's deputy seen in a viral video repeatedly punching an unarmed Black man who was pinned to the ground was fired out the cannon. The county is considering filing charges against him.

The person who was pinned to the ground was named 26-year old, Roderick Walker. He is currently in Clayton County, Georgia lockup, two days after he was seen in the video being pummeled on.

He said, "I can't breathe."

It was shocking to hear the man's son scream for his "daddy."

The incident happened on Friday evening in front of a Georgia Department of Public Health Building near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. An attorney for Walker said the incident quickly escalated after a ride-share vehicle Walker was a passenger in was pulled over for routine traffic violation.

Walker's injuries are brutal.

On Sunday afternoon, officials announced in a statement that "the Deputy who repeatedly struck Roderick Walker is being terminated from the Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill for excessive use of force," The deputy's name was not immediately released.

A criminal investigation of the incident will be turned over to the Clayton County District Attorney's Office, the statement reads.

Walker is still in custody due to charges that include cruelty to children, having a firearm while being a convicted felon and failure to appear in court. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Walker received medical treatment for injuries. He had fractures to his head, swelling around his eye and bad bruising on the side of his face.

His lawyers slam the decision to talk about Walker's arrest record as a way to deflect from the bad cop's attack.

"Roderick Walker is in jail solely because he was illegally arrested after being assaulted by Clayton County Sheriff deputies, not because of anything he did during that incident or in the past," said Shean Williams, the attorney representing Walker. "Mr. Walker would not be in jail if it were for this unlawful arrest that violated his legal and constitutional rights."

"Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill's statement is just a weak attempt to deflect from his lack of leadership and continuous encouragement that his deputies violate peoples' civil rights, Williams added. "The only individuals who perpetrated criminal behavior were the deputies who unlawfully assaulted and arrested him."

What happened?





Well it was routine pull over for a broken tail light. Walker's girlfriend Janita Davis and their son were at a rental car place. They dropped off a vehicle and placed a Lyft ride for themselves.

Well when they were riding in the Lyft, an unmarked patrol vehicle pulled them over. During the stop, a deputy asked all the occupants for identification. Walker refused to give information.

Walker said he didn't have identification on him and said he didn't have to provide seeing he's not the driver and he was not committing any criminal act.

The situation escalated and soon they pulled him out the vehicle and tried to detain him which led to the altercation and later arrest. It was caught on cellphone video and went viral.

It never happens in your community ... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence 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.

African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!

STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!

Everytime a person of color is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect.

WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS NARRATIVE! NO MORE EXCUSES! IF YOU CAN DETAIN ARMED WHITE SUSPECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETAIN A BLACK MAN WITHOUT USING DEADLY FORCE!

WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA ALWAYS SHOWING THE MUGSHOTS OF A PERSON OF COLOR BEING SHOT BY THE COPS! WHY CAN'T THEY USE PICTURES OF THE VICTIM BEING A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CRIMINAL. THEY SHOWED POSITIVE PICTURES OF THAT WHITE TERRORIST WHO KILLED TWO PROTESTERS IN WISCONSIN. THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN HIS MUGSHOT YET. 

IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!

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.
