| Rochester, New York Police continue to be in the limelight for the wrong reasons. Two cops brutalize a 9-year old with mental issues. |
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW!
GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED!
So would you want this done to your child?
I am very concerned that our lives are in grave danger. Just because we gotten past the past four years of a divisive president, doesn't mean we're out of the woods.
The impact is felt. We have a mission to make sure that the current president lives up to the promises he said he will do for the Black community.
No conservatives, you don't get to say Blue Lives Matter.
You don't support police reform nor accountability. You support moving on. We're tired of moving on to the next tragedy. This shit needs to stop now.
The Republican Party talks a mean game about being the "party of law & order" but in reality, they want to enforce law on the oppressed.
Republicans cater to dirty cops, crooked politicians, crooked religious leaders, white nationalists, anti-government extremists, Karens and conspiracy nuts.
Every time a person of color is shot and killed by law enforcement, their names become hashtags and we continue to call for accountability and justice. Often we never get justice because of zealous prosecutors who are in the bed with the police.
The conservatives often want to bring up Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit as their counterpoint to police brutality, gun violence and the need for Black people to hold ourselves accountable. We already hold ourselves accountable.
Why don't you hold yourselves accountable for the actions you've done?
They often try to scapegoat Democrats to the nation's woes.
Given that the Democratic Party is the party that put two people of color in higher office, the far-right will utilize this as a rally call to extremists. In turn we get more white nationalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebart, Beth Van Duyne, Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy and Louie Gohmert.
The calls for police reform, accountability and unity will grow louder.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have dozens of issues to handle.
The cops put a noose (or I meant) a spit hood over him and let him suffocate.

| Two cops handcuff and pepper spray a 9-year old Black girl. |
Now the same police force of upstate New York is now engaged in another brutal incident where a person of color is physically abused by them.
The Rochester Police released the body camera footage of an incident on Friday where two cops sprayed pepper spray in the face of a 9-year old girl.
The department released two videos that show the cops spraying the irritant in the face of the girl.

"Had they had to go and push further, and use more force, there's a good chance she could have been hurt worse."

Police Chief Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan identified the use of force as pepper spray.
The video shows officers handcuffing the young girl, attempting to place her in a police cruiser and using the spray on the face after she repeatedly called for her father and refused to put her feet in the cruiser.
Embattled mayor Lovely Warren said she was concerned for the 9-year old who "was harmed during this incident" and that it was "clear from the video we need to do more in support of our children and families."
"I have a 10-year old child, so she's a child," Warren said. "She's a baby. this video, as a mother, is not anything you want to see."
"This is not something that any of us should want to justify, can justify, and it's something we have to change," Warren added.
Nine cops responded to a "family trouble" in which the girl "indicated she wanted to kill herself and she wanted to kill her mom," Deputy Police Chief Andre Anderson said during the briefing.
Wouldn't that be a case for children services or mental health and abused children specialists.
The girl ran away from home, and an officer chased and caught up with here. One video shows an officer asking, "What's going on? How can I help?" Footage also shows the girl and her mother arguing before her mother gets into a dispute with a car that slowed down to watch the situation.

Officers then attempted to get the girl into the vehicle for several minutes as the girl refused, calling for her father, struggling at one point kicking an officer's body camera off, he said. After several minutes of the girl crying and resisting, an officer can be heard in the video saying, "Just spray her at this point" as he closes the door.
The girl was taken to a local hospital and then released to the custody of her family.
Police officials during the presser declined to defend the officers' actions.
"I'm not going to stand here and tell you that for a 9-year old to have to be pepper-sprayed is OK," Herriott-Sullivan said. "It's not. I don't see that as who we are as a department, and we're going to do the work we have to do to ensure that these kind of things don't happen."
The Rochester Police said that officers used non-lethal restraint and it was required for this situation.
Okay, so I want to understand.... If the girl was allergic or having possible pre-existing conditions like asthma, she could die from a pepper spray to the nose and eyes.
They believe that it was "justified" and the girl was belligerent when she kicked an officer's body camera off.
The city still trying to regain its footing after unrest in the aftermath of the video release of Daniel Prude.
The city is trying to launch a Person in Crisis Team which is designed to handle mental health and substance crises, but Warren said it would not have responded to Friday's situation because it involved "a number of events happening at the same time that required a police response."
Benjamin Crump, famed civil rights attorney who is involved in the George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmed Arbery, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown incidents is involved in this matter.
I believe he is involved in the death of Prude as well.
