Baltimore Police Roughed Up Black Residents!

The Baltimore Police are working on uprooting corruption within its department after a damning DOJ report came out.

I remember watching an episode of Nightline on ABC. Byron Pitts, a native of Baltimore done a ride along with the law trying to uncover a pattern of corruption within the police department.

This week marked a bombshell in the wake of Freddie Gray murder trial. The six officers will walk but the department they represent will have a top-to-bottom scrubbing by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Department of Justice determined that Baltimore Police officers were really out of line.

Damning evidence determined that the Baltimore city police were engaging in pattern of bias stops and unconstitutional searches of Black residents. Some of these stops were merited on perception of criminal activity without proof of an event occurring.
The riots of 2015.
The report covered nearly six years of monitoring and evaluations of the Baltimore Police.

There were systemic deficiencies in training, policies and accountability structures. The police department failed to equip officers with the tools they need to police effectively.

Baltimore has a 70 percent Black population. The police department is 86 percent White. The DOJ had finalized a pattern of behavior that involved officers and supervisors saying NIGGER towards suspects and President Barack Obama.

Martin O'Malley, then mayor, governor and failed presidential candidate enforced the "zero tolerance" enforcement practices that emphasized on stops, searches and arrest for repeated violations of constitutional rights that eroded the community's trust.

Outgoing mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake continued the "zero tolerance" enforcement throughout her term until the Freddie Gray incident.

Over 44 percent of the stops occurred in two small predominately Black neighborhoods that contained only 11 percent of the city's populations. The affluent neighborhoods of Baltimore.

Hundreds of individuals were stopped at least 10 times during this period, and seven people were stopped more than 30 times.

Only 3.7 percent of these stops ended with a citation or an arrest.

Some of the officers used excessive force and escalated verbal exchanges with people they've stopped. Instead of brushing it off, officers would threaten arrest or brutally assault the person.

Some of the suspects who were juvenile were treated like adults. They were searched without being read their rights.

They treated a rape victim who was a transgender woman as a man who shouldn't been flaunting his junk on the streets. A transgender prostitute would be stripped searched by men. Some of the rape cases remained open because the officers questioned the victim's account because they were prostitutes.

When some residents filmed officers, cursed or pointed their third digit at officers, they were detained and cited for disorderly conduct. Under the First Amendment, you were allowed. The officers were in the wrong by confiscating the recording, arresting an individuals because he said "fuck the cops".

Marilyn Mosby is determined to uproot injustices caused by officers and is determined to restore order and respect within the Baltimore Police Department. She felt that the DOJ's report satisfy claims made by residents in the city about unfair practices.

Conservatives have attacked her for being in the forefront of #BlackLivesMatter. As state prosecutor, she had made it a mission to hold those responsible for the deaths of individuals held in police custody.

Police commissioner Kevin Davis said that any officer who "chose to engage in racist, sexist, discriminatory or biased-based policing" will be under the radar.

This was never mentioned by conservatives or Republican lawmakers. After all, they are supposed to be the group that supports the cops and stand by this "law and order".

Now if you're a supporter of the police being innocent of horrific crimes, read from The Drudge Report, support the ignorance of Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, support the racial arsonist Colin Flaherty and blog, determined to give corrupt cops the "benefit of doubt", share racially insensitive emails about Black people, President Barack Obama or other groups and listen to agitators like that old fart Rush Limbaugh and "Softball" Hannity, you're likely a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter.

Cop Walk In Freddie Gray Case!


The six cops who allow Freddie Gray to die in custody walk free.

It's a win for the police and loss for the victims of police violence.

Marilyn Mosby comes out a loser in the fight against the crooked cops of Baltimore. The six officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray are walking free with their heads held high and their union leader gloating.

Accountability is what the residents want.

All the remaining officers who were to go to free

Brian Rice, Alicia White, Caesar Goodson, William Porter, Edward Nero and Garrett Miller were indicted by the prosecutor for negligent homicide.

The prosecutor didn't have enough evidence to indict those officers.

Freddie Gray's family is extremely disappointed in this development.

Conservatives are gloating once again and using their divisive nonsense to blame President Barack Obama for this.

The Baltimore Police is working on initiatives for better community relations.



Bubba Shows Hills Love!

Bill delivers.

History was made on day two of the Democratic National Convention. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton became the first woman ever to represent a national party's presidential ticket.

She became a historical feat. The Democratic Party is willing to take on policies Republicans often scare voters with.

Bernie Sanders officially ends his bid for president. He went forth to embrace the Clinton campaign by saying he will pledge his delegates to her and help her win the election.

The night went to Bill Clinton who best described his wife, the former first lady and former secretary of state. The 42nd President of the United States was the most successful and deeply controversial of the modern day presidents. While he didn't lead us into a costly war, a near recession and a deeply partisan environment, Bill Clinton had his misfortunes in women. He was allegedly having numerous affairs on Hillary Clinton.

She shown strength by standing by Bill despite her angry towards him for the affairs.

Bill delivered a 45 minute speech with standing ovation and boos from the Bernie Bros.

As Clinton became the nominee, Bernie Sanders supporters stormed out the convention floor.

The FBI is investigating the Wikileaks email bombshell. The emails forced Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down. Julian Assange who is currently held up in an embassy is facing charges in numerous countries said that he wants to damage Hillary Clinton's chances.

Democrats gave support to the mothers of #BlackLivesMatter. The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner and Michael Brown gave a compassionate speech about their lost family members. They gave praise to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for giving them a message.

The winners of the day was of course Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and the mothers of a movement (#BlackLivesMatter).

Terry McAuliffe, the controversial governor of Virginia and former DNC chairman himself got booed and hissed when he threw his support for the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement.

Actresses Lena Dunham, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep and Elizabeth Banks threw their support to Hillary Clinton. Pop singer/actress Alicia Keys closed out the event with a plea for unity.

The Democratic Convention pledges for a stronger progressive agenda. That agenda will be exploited by Donald Trump, Softball Hannity, internet creeper Matt Drudge and old fart Rush Limbaugh.

Melania Trump Ripped Michelle Obama's Speech!

Melania Trump getting slammed for ripping off First Lady Michelle Obama's speech in 2008.

The Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Day one went down in history as one of the most angriest I've seen or heard. Donald Trump sure knows how to pick 'em.

I was at work when all the drama happened. I did managed to listen to the circling firing squad of bigots.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL), Darryl Glenn, Michael Flynn, Marcus Luttrell, David Clarke, Jr. Scott Baio, Rudy Giuliani, Pat Smith, Antonio Sabato, Jr.,and headliner Melania Trump were "Make America Safe" by bashing Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter, Muslims, and immigrants.

The whole event was controversial.

What was the biggest controversy of the whole event was the allegations that Melania ripped off First Lady Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. The speech the wife of Republican nominee was doing her introduction. Many speculators claim that the words seem oddly similar to the first lady.

Rudy Giuliani raised the bar on Black Lives Matter. He outcrazied David Clarke, Jr., the controversial sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin with the rhetoric targeting protesters against police brutality as a bunch of racists. Clarke called the movement a terrorist group. The Republicans cheered when the Baltimore police officers got off criminal indictment charges for the death of Freddie Gray.

The delegates who didn't support Donald Trump were none too happy. Their last ditch effort to stop Trump went down in flames. They did a walkout protest against Trump.

Pat Smith and the former Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell accused Obama and Clinton of being murderers.

Sen. Ernst got embarrassed. After Melania finished her speech, attendees bounced. Ernst got to speak to an nearly empty arena. It was a big flub for her.

Baio, a washed up celebrity in his own right had an opportunity to trash Clinton and Obama by calling them out for giving moochers "free stuff". Dog whistle rhetoric. He also slammed Clinton in an offensive meme. It labeled her a cunt.

I will give you the most controversial parts of the RNC Day 1

Cop Walk In Freddie Gray Case!

Cop walk in Freddie Gray case
It's likely all the cops involved in the injury of Freddie Gray will be not indicted for his murder.

One of the Baltimore cops who was on film carrying an injured Freddie Gray screaming was not indicted. Brian Rice was found not guilty in the involuntary manslaughter and murder of Freddie Gray.

Prosecutors failed to find evidence of an intentional act.

Judge Barry Williams found Lieutenant Brian Rice not guilty on all counts on Monday. The case was decided by Judge Williams himself instead of a jury, as Rice opted for a bench trial, like his colleagues Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson Jr.

Gray’s injuries occurred at some point while he was being transported to the police station following his arrest. He was not buckled in with a seat-belt while he was riding in the back of a police van, restrained by handcuffs. The arrest took place after officers apprehended him following a foot chase. Rice initiated the chase, after he and Gray made eye contact and Gray ran, while walking in Baltimore on April 12, 2015.

Prosecutors argued that Rice should have known of the Baltimore Police’s new policy of making sure that passengers are secured by seat-belts, and that he is responsible for Gray not being buckled in. Prosecutor Janice Bledsoe said in her closing argument that “Lt. Rice’s decisions cannot be be blamed on poor judgement or error,” and that “[i]t was an intentional act that started a chain leading to the death of Freddie Gray.”

The defense countered that Gray’s injuries did not take place until some time between the police van’s fourth and sixth stops after Gray’s arrest, and that Rice didn’t have any contact with him at that point. They also called witnesses who testified that the death should have been deemed an accident. This countered the findings of assistant medical examiner Dr. Carol Allan, who determined that Gray’s death was a homicide.

Rice faced charges of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office, after Judge Williams dropped an assault charge and an additional misconduct in office charge, according to WBAL.

Rice was the fourth officer connected to Gray to face trial. Officer Williams Porter‘s trial resulted in a hung jury and he awaits a new trial, while Officers Nero and Goodson were acquitted by Judge Williams.

This will certainly raise tension.

With many in law enforcement not facing criminal charges for killing unarmed people of color, it's sparking Black extremists to take revenge on cops and agitators in the junk food media.

Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson warns of backlash against police officers in the wake of the fatal shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Cop Walk in Freddie Gray Murder!

The cop who drove the van that carried Freddie Gray to his death found not guilty.

It seems like it's impossible for cop to convicted on the murder of unarmed suspects. The Baltimore Court found Caesar Goodson not guilty in negligent homicide of Freddie Gray.

The second degree murder charge was a tall order for prosecutors. 

It just didn't stick because Goodson was not intentionally trying to kill Freddie.

Goodson was the driver who transported Freddie Gray to the lockup. 

Freddie was severely injured after being transported to lockup. He was placed on a ventilator before being declared brain dead. 

Goodson was the one who got the most charges in this.

Judge Barry Williams said there wasn't enough evidence to convict Goodson.

Goodson's freedom assures that notion that the remaining three officers would walk.

The travesty of justice once again proves that the blue wall of silence still exist. 

It makes it harder for the law to get witnesses in the case of a criminal act. It might rile up residents. 

Even with it being filmed, an unarmed Black suspect can be killed. The cops can lie and slander their way out of a murder. The unarmed Black suspect will always be seen through the lense of #AllLivesMatter and White conservatives as guilty of a crime and responsible of his own death. 

Freddie Gray's death sparked unrest and rioting in the city. It eventually led to Anthony Batts being fired out the cannon as the city's police commissioner and Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake not seeking reelection.

Goodson is getting protective security after the verdict. He's told the junk food media that he's been getting death threats from this.

He is the third officer who managed to walk in the case. This is another blow to Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby.

So far this event gives me the notion that Black lives doesn't matter. A cop or a vigilante can beat the system because of entitlement. After all we're supposed to trust the cops, right?

Cop Walk In The Freddie Gray Murder Trial!

Second officer in the death of Freddie Gray walks.


I guess it's not a crime for the police to cause grave injury to an unarmed suspect? 

I guess that if you're an airhead like that old fart Rush Limbaugh, the family of the victims killed by law enforcement are enjoying that huge payday. Matter of fact, where's Al Sharpton so he can shake down more!

Seeing that these trials are done by only a judge and not a room of fellow citizens, I guess if I commit a criminal act that is considered non-violent and I get roughed up by the police and eventually be left either severely hurt or killed, it's my own fault for my death.

The second officer involved in the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray was found not guilty.

Edward Nero was one of the six officers indicted by the Baltimore prosecutor in the death of Freddie Gray. The incident was caught on tape showing the officers picking up a screaming Freddie being hauled into an awaiting police van. On his way to city lockup, Freddie was injured by either the van or the encounter. The injuries left him in a coma with a severed spine. He would die of his injuries.

When Freddie was buried, it set off a riot in the city. It drove the conservative and racial agitators into blaming the mayor, the prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, #BlackLivesMatter, and President Barack Obama for the unrest in Baltimore.

Nero was charged with misdemeanor charges of second-degree assault and two counts of misconduct in office for his role in the arrest.

Nero was also charged with reckless endangerment for shackling Freddie and placing him the van without properly checking.

This is the second event in which an officer walks in the murder of an unarmed suspect. William Porter the first to be charged was a hung jury.

The attorney for Nero said that his client was innocent of all charges.

"The judge who tried the case obviously went along with the idea that a defendant is persumed to be innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt", attorney Barry Slotnick to the Huffington Post.

"What we have here is clearly as a case in which there was a conclusion that the judge drew with regards to the intentions of Officer Nero and as a result the verdict came in as not guilty, I think that the present verdict will affect the remaining trials in that the other defendants will be acquitted, as well in deference to the judge's decision."

Maryland's Governor Larry Hogan and Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake along with Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) stress to the public to not react to violence and destruction upon the verdict.

The city police along with state authorities were ordered to watch the judge known to the public as Barry Williams and Nero after the verdict.
The second cop in the murder trial of Freddie Gray can go home a free man.
Now Nero can file a grievance against the city and prosecutor. He can also be free to express his opinion of the verdict. Maybe Softball Hannity could give him an hour to discuss how Baltimore is a hell-hole caused by the Democrats. Who knows?

He's got a book deal probably in the works and he can go home to his family saying that Freddie Gray shouldn't have ran. He would have probably had a night in the lockup instead of a six foot hole.

Conservatives are rejoicing that this officer got away with murder. They believe no matter how much evidence to the contrary, police officers are there to serve the communities. They think that Blacks and their attitude towards police creates the problems we're facing. They don't care about the systematic pull-overs, unlawful detainments, unlawful searches and threats opposed to Black, Hispanic, or practicing Muslims.

For them, it's just another defeat for liberalism. No amount of money could bring back Freddie Gray.

Man Accused Of Pimping Children! Guess Who They Blame For His Actions?

Activist who protested in Ferguson charged with prostitution.

The Blame Game once again in effect and guess who take the fall for the actions of a man!

The Fox News folks are gleefully saying that a #BlackLivesMatter member reportedly charged with human trafficking and prostitution.

They say that Charles Wade is a member of the organization and was involved in the protest in Ferguson was arrested and charged last month with these criminal acts.

The local junk food media reports that Wade was arrested in April allegedly hiring out a 17-year old teen for sex in College Park, Maryland. The suspect was making a purchase on backpage.com, a website notorious for exploiting prostitution.

The operation was discovered by undercovers.

The Daily Caller obtained information about Wade. The suspect is charged with seven counts, including felonies for human trafficking. These charges could be federal and have the suspect in federal time out for 25 years or LIFE.
Wade in Cleveland protesting the Tamir Rice shooting.
Wade got his get out of jail free card and ducked the junk food media.

Now here's the real kicker, the real organization that the suspect operates isn't affiliated with #BlackLivesMatter. The suspect currently runs "Operation Help or Hush", a non-profit organization created during the Ferguson protests

The suspect was funding a center for children and youth near Ferguson.

He was included in a profile by The Washington Post of activists involved in the August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.

Last year, the suspect was involved in an altercation with a Cleveland hotel worker after they got into a heated argument with the manager of the hotel.

So here we go again! The actions of one man represents the whole according to the racist right.

Again, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If found guilty, he will be sent to the iron college. He might have to register as a TIER offender.

It's Getting Wild In B-More!

This is a toy but to the law its a real gun.

One year to the day of the riots that affected the city of Baltimore, two incidents happened.

Both incidents happened with police using force.

A 13 year old boy who was playing with a toy gun was shot in the leg by the Baltimore police. The plain clothes detectives thought the boy was acting menacing with the toy. They claimed that they acknowledge themselves as "police" and the boy took off.

One of the officers shot the boy when he was running. According to the officer who shot the boy, he turned towards them with the intent.

Witnesses say that the plain clothes officers heard the boy say it's not real and shot him anyway.

Police commissioner Kevin Davis told the junk food media that his officers will be interviewed for the incident. Davis believes that the officers were justified in their pursuit but will take consideration in how the situation was handled.

The officers: two male and one female officer were placed in the freezer pending an investigation of the incident.

So far no charges were filed on the boy.
Sniper aim at man who held local television station hostage.
A racist troll who felt the need to comment on it went to social media to blame the victim and the mother. I mean when if it was a White person with a BB gun, I bet you money, the law wouldn't even mess with him.

And of course today, a man walks into WBFF's Fox 45 studios demanding he gets airtime or he'll blow the place up.

The Baltimore police got the news agitators out of the building. The terrorist wearing a vest with wires sticking out was bucked by the snipers. The sniper took a clear shot.

The suspect is a 25-year old who was wearing panda pajamas. He had in possession, a bunch of candy bars, rope, and a red inflator. The terrorist was a White guy.

It seems like Commissioner Davis has to deal with being his first year as the top cop for the city of Baltimore.

World News Today send our prayers to the boy who was shot by the law. If the boy and the terrorist are charged with any criminal act, they are innocent until proven guilty.

Not WanTED!

Indiana or bust! Cruz may announce his choice for Veep or he's getting out!

Sources are saying that either Ted Cruz is dropping out or he's planning on picking failed presidential candidate Carly Fiorina as his running mate. There is talk that Republican governor of Indiana Mike Pence may endorse Cruz for president.

After a bruising defeat in the Northeast, Cruz is hoping to secure last ditch efforts in Montana, West Virginia and Indiana. We can't confirm any news at this time. But he's slated to make an announcement at 4pm.

Speculations are floating.

Odds are.... CRUZ IS DROPPING OUT THE RACE!

If Ted Cruz does happen to drop out, I'll posted it as soon as possible.

The Bern is being felt in the Democratic races in Maryland. Hillary Clinton may have won the state in close race, but some of her coattails failed to score a win.

A corrupt former mayor went down in defeat. An establishment Democrat beats the insurgent who could have achieved a political feat.
Catherine Pugh (left) defeats former mayor Sheila Dixon in the Democratic primary for Baltimore mayor.
Catherine Pugh beats Sheila Dixon and activist DeRay McKesson in the Democratic race for Baltimore mayor. Stephanie Rawlings-Blake opted out of reelection after pressure mounted against her during the Freddie Gray incident. The city rioted and Rawlings-Blake took responsibility for the actions. She faced a tougher reelection if she would have ran again.

McKesson was a longshot candidate who is a vocal member of the BlackLivesMatter and ProjectZero movements.

Dixon was the former mayor of Baltimore after failed presidential candidate Martin O'Malley. O'Malley, then governor tired and failed at winning the Democratic nomination. Dixon was a political grandstander who had a history of making outlandish remarks and giving her friends and family a piece of the pie. She was indicted on federal charges for corruption. She resigned and then city district councilor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took the role as mayor.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) defeats fellow lawmaker Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) for Democratic nomination for the open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD).
The Freddie Gray incident hurt her chances at running for Congress. She had an intention to run for Congress if Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was to retire.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) beats Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) in the Democratic primary. He will be candidate in a TOSS UP race for the seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), the oldest and longest serving woman in the U.S. Senate. The seat is a TOSS UP and the challenger for the Republican seat is State Delegate Kathy Szeliga. She will make this a nail-biter race due to the fact that Van Hollen has baggage.

Edwards was one of the few Black lawmakers who would make an appearance on Fox News. She was part of the insurgency that's pushing for progressive issues such as raising the minimum wage and getting rid of the Citizen United ruling.

Now before I move on to the next post. I'll give you my take on the closely watched U.S. Senate races as of today.

Colorado - Michael Bennet (RUNNING) (TOSS UP)
Florida - Marco Rubio (RETIRING) (TOSS UP)
Ohio - Rob Portman (RUNNING) (LEANS REPUBLICAN)
Illinois - Mark Kirk (RUNNING) (LEANS DEMOCRAT)
Maryland - Barbara Mikulski (RETIRING) (TOSS UP)
New Hampshire - Kelly Ayotte (RUNNING) (LEANS REPUBLICAN)
Wisconsin - Ron Johnson (RUNNING) (TOSS UP)
Pennsylvania - Pat Toomey (RUNNING) (TOSS UP)
North Carolina - Richard Burr (RUNNING) (LEANS REPUBLICAN)
Iowa - Chuck Grassley (RUNNING) (LEANS REPUBLICAN)
Nevada - Harry Reid (RETIRING) (TOSS UP)

Now there are other races for the U.S. Senate. I won't say too much about them. Some are considered either Safe Republican or Safe Democrat. If there's a shake up in the Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri races, I'll bring it up.

Megyn Kelly Race Hustles Rev. Al!


Reverend Al Sharpton is the founder of the National Action Network. He is also a radio agitator and commentator on MSNBC. He is a civil rights activist who gets conservatives riled up. His actions are pretty damn effective and they hate this. 

Politicsnation or The Al Sharpton Show was demoted from weekdays to solely on Sundays. Sharpton has been considering an exit from the network. He along with former host Melissa Harris Perry both expressed resentment towards Phil Griffin and his team over at MSNBC. 

Sharpton, Ed Schultz and many others were not pleased to have Brian Williams bump them from their television spots. Williams is the disgrace NBC News anchor who lied about his past. He was demoted to the network and Lester Holt took permanent control of The Nightly News.

Sharpton and Kelly get into a heated confrontation over racial matters.
Megyn Kelly is the hottest act on Fox News. The blonde bombshell was promoted from morning news to her own primetime show. She ousted that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity from his 9pm spot. That spot has been running neck and neck with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

Megyn Kelly and Al Sharpton are "friendly" towards one another. The respect each other's position as leaders of both respective companies. However they do not agree politically on many issues. 

Especially when it comes to the issues of Black America. Sharpton is often seen as a racial agitator by many conservatives. His infamous past has made him a mark for conservative agitation. Matter of fact, every agitator and Black Republicans concern troll about every freaking criminal act in America. The conservatives always pull Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Pres. Barack Obama out their back pockets when they want to chastise the Black community.

Mediaite has a story online about a confrontational interview between Kelly and Sharpton.

Off the bat, Kelly calls Sharpton controversial. Like she's not controversial herself

Remember this is the woman who made a bold comment that Jesus and Santa Claus are White. She said that in regards to a Black child asking the race of Santa Claus.

At one point, Sharpton told the agitator to calm down.

It seems like Donald Trump isn't the only one who despises Megyn Kelly.

Black-ish Takes on #BlackLivesMatter, Police Brutality And Racial Profiling!

ABC's comedy black-ish takes on police brutality and #BlackLivesMatter

Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross star in the hit comedy black-ish. The show deals with a Black father who trying to bring his suburbanite children into the Black experience.

Tonight's episode is taking on police brutality, racial profiling and #BlackLivesMatter. 

I'm giving my honest opinion of the episode and revealing spoilers. 

Andre (Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) explain the experience of being profiled by law enforcement to their four children. Dre, Pops (played by Laurence Fishburne) and Ruby (played by Jennifer Lewis) are trying to let the children know that justice system failed Black America. 

Jack and Diane (played by Miles Brown and Marsai Martin) are concerned about how they're probably going to be killed by the police. 

They get into a huge argument into Bow's feelings towards police. 

They become preppers for a pending riot after a grand jury decided to not indict an officer who shot and killed an unarmed Black citizen. They get into an argument over the negative press coverage of the unarmed Black citizen. They also noted the feeling when Black America felt that electing Barack Obama was the beginning of a new era in race relations. Dre explains that even with a Black president, things aren't getting any better.

Dre explains to Bow when he sees Obama's opponents treat less than his title as President of the United States, he sees racism at its worst. 

There was a fight between Zoey (played by Yara Shahidi) and Andre, Jr. (played by Marcus Scribner). Junior wanted to join the protesters and Zoey warned him to not go because the rioters could end up hurting him. 

Dre explains the "gray zone" between what's good and what's bad in the country. Dre and Bow believe that there's a need for change and even though they don't agree on everything, they have hope and strength to change policy.

The characters make reference to the most recent deadly encounters of unarmed Black citizens.

Don Lemon of CNN and Black activist Ta-Nehisi Coates were featured guests on the show. 

It's a controversial episode and it's certainly going to attract conservative outrage and reaction from police unions. Some of the police unions threaten boycotting entertainers who criticize law enforcement.

Anderson along with his executive producers Kenya Burris and Yvette Lee Bower are expecting a backlash from conservatives and police unions.

DeRay McKesson Runs For Mayor Of Baltimore To Stop Sheila Dixon!

DeRay McKesson decided to run for mayor to stop the potential nomination of former mayor Sheila Dixon.

Civil Rights activist DeRay McKesson formally files for the Democratic primary in the Baltimore mayoral race. The race is fielded with 13 candidates and one of them is scandal plagued.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has declined to run for re-election. Leading candidates include former Mayor Sheila Dixon, state Sen. Catherine E. Pugh, City Councilmen Carl Stokes and Nick J. Mosby, lawyer Elizabeth Embry and businessman David L. Warnock.

Knowing he's a long-shot for the nomination, DeRay wants to make a statement to corruption in the Baltimore police, the rampant homicide rate and potential of Sheila Dixon returning.

Dixon served as Baltimore's mayor before Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took over. Dixon was appointed to mayor after Martin O'Malley became governor of Maryland. Dixon would end up resigning after she was caught up in a bribery scandal. She took kickbacks and tried to hide it from state auditors.

Mckesson, 30, a Baltimore native and former public school administrator here and in Minnesota, is part of a team called Campaign Zero, which seeks to end police killings in America. The group wants to end "broken windows" policing, increase community oversight of police and limit use of force, among other goals.

He has met with top White House officials and presidential candidates in recent months to discuss civil rights. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called him a "social media emperor."

McKesson who rose to fame as apart of the #BlackLivesMatter movement has attracted much attention during the 2014-15 peak. He was there protesting throughout a list of high-profile incidents involving law enforcement.

McKesson has been rewarded for his actions and scrutinized by them. I started to acknowledge him when he appeared on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival. He appeared alongside some conservative Black extremist Kevin Jackson. The interview between the two was heated. Jackson played dirty by called McKesson a "race pimp".

Since his appearance, McKesson rose in social media stock. Today he has 308,000 followers on his Twitter account and I am guessing some of his detractors are there too.
DeRay runs for mayor.
McKesson ignored the critics and kept pressing forward. His ground work also includes his #CampaignZero project which expands from police reform but protection of those in the LGBT community.

McKesson came out last year as a gay man.

Other candidates include Nick Mosby, the husband of state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby. She rose to fame when she indicted the six cops who were involved in the killing of Freddie Gray. Nick also appeared on that right wing network and told the reporters and Geraldo Rivera that their divisive coverage of the 2015 riots were biased.

The city of Baltimore already have 23 homicides this year.

Trump In Terrorist Recruitment Vid Won't Hurt Him!

Trump blames Clinton for terrorist recruitment video.

Hillary Clinton was caught telling a lie. Politifact rated her claim that the Islamic State uses Donald Trump in recruitment videos is false. But using Trump in an al-Shabaab video is true.

The Republican frontrunner and conservative agitators are the best recruitment tool for the terrorists.

The al-Shabaab group are allies of al-Qaeda. It's a notorious group operating out of Somalia, Sudan and Kenya. The group is lament's term is a known as the "Youth Islamic Resistance". The group has carried out mass causality attacks across many urban regions in 10 countries. It often uses the internet and social media to attract Westerners and social outcast to the group.

The video starts off with excerpts of Malcolm X and Anwar al-Awlaki. The video urges Black Americans fed up with racism in the United States to join their movement. It brought up the Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and parts of the al-Jazeera's Black in the United States documentary.

In portions of the video al-Awlaki brings up the Army major Nidal Hassan. Hassan who is facing the gas house at the military brig. Hassan opened fired on 13 of his fellow military officers in 2009.

The video is spoken in English and Arabic with subtitles.



For the most part, the Trump campaign said, "Good for them". Donald Trump on GOP Sundays vows to take on the threat of terrorism (or uh, radical Islam).

The conservatives and Republicans are squawking about radical Islam. The candidates as well are bragging about what they could do if they're in charge.

Unaware that they're rhetoric is sparking a movement of extremism.

Cop Walk In Freddie Gray Case!

Mistrial in the William Porter murder case. 

William Porter isn't a free man but he's certainly walking out the courtroom feeling a little bit free.

The jury in the involuntary manslaughter case ruled in a mistrial. The Baltimore Police officer who drove the van where Freddie Gray sustain the fatal injuries

The trial started back in November and it ended with a hung jury. The jury informed Judge Barry G. Williams that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the four charges, including the most serious charge of manslaughter. Williams declared a mistrial. An administrative court hearing will be held on Thursday to schedule a retrial date.

Legal experts told The New York Times this month that the verdict in Porter’s case could possibly set the tone for the trials of the five other officers. Prosecutors seek to use Porter as a material witness against at least two of them.

Gray sustained a spinal cord injury while riding in the police van in April. During the ride, his feet and hands were shackled, but he was not buckled in with a seatbelt. Medical experts who spoke with The Baltimore Sun about Gray’s injuries likened them to those seen in “victims of high-speed crashes.”

The prosecution has argued that Porter's failure to buckle Gray's seatbelt before the van pulled away makes him partially responsible for Gray's death. Porter admitted that he did not buckle Gray into the van because he had never seen another officer do so in approximately 150 other arrests during his time on the force.

Porter and his attorneys maintained that Officer Caesar Goodson, one of the officers charged and the driver of the van, ignored Porter’s advice that Gray needed medical assistance.

Porter took the witness stand on Dec. 9 and informed the jury of seven women and five men that he has never discharged his firearm, or used mace or a taser while on duty.
 
“People had negative views of police,” Porter said. “I wanted to give people a different view to police … I was always fair.”

Baltimore Marks Grim Milestone Post Freddie Gray!

It's getting worse in Baltimore.

This year marks a grave milestone for Maryland's largest city of 615,000. The city of Baltimore has had over 300 homicides. That's approximately 1 person a day gunned down by firearms.

This milestone overshadows the controversial incident that happened back in April.

When Baltimore Police arrested Freddie Gray. he was screaming in pain. He was transported to the local lockup. When they arrived to the lockup they found a motionless Freddie.

Freddie was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. The doctors determined that Freddie suffered a severed spine. He would die after three days.

The residents in this neighborhood recorded the encounter. They believe that the law was negligent.

It lead to three incidents of rioting in the city. The junk food media raced to the city to film residents robbing liquor stores and shoe stores. When the rioting died down, the state prosecutor charged six officers with involuntary manslaughter. Each officer has a day in court.

Post-riot there has been a 45% increase in violent crime in the city.

Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington, DC, Sacramento, and Milwaukee have reported a surge in violent crime. The law singles out repeat offenders, illicit drugs and guns with bigger magazines as part of the increase.
Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake appoints new blood. The new police commissioner Kevin Davis has to turn it around or face a cannon firing.
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey last month said that murder rates were soaring in many cities partly because police were holding back from aggressive tactics, fearful of being video recorded and accused of brutality.

The so-called Ferguson effect has become the racist right's rally call.

Conservatives balked that #BlackLivesMatter plot murder on law enforcement.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake fired the police commissioner Anthony Batts this year. The city award Freddie's family $6.5 million in punitive damages. Rawlings-Blake decided to not run for reelection.

The impact has sparked feverish discussion on police brutality and accountability.

GUN CRIME IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES! THIS BEATS TERRORISM AND DISEASES SUCH AS HIV AND EBOLA. 

HEROIN WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE SECOND THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. 

THE INEPT LAWMAKERS IN WASHINGTON REFUSE TO PASS COMPREHENSIVE GUN CONTROL LAWS THAT PREVENTS CRIMINALS, TERRORISTS AND THE MENTALLY ILL FROM OBTAINING ACCESS TO FIREARMS.

Obama Mentions Gun Crime In Chicago And Conservatives Are Tone Deaf!

President Barack Obama endorses the reelection of  Rahm Emmanuel for mayor of Chicago. Emmanuel faces mounting criticism over gun violence in the the city. The president has mentioned gun violence in his hometown. Republicans and conservative agitators are tone deaf.

How come Obama mentions gun crimes all over the place but ignores Chicago?

Does Haydia Pendleton ring a bell?

Well in 2013, the young Chicago girl was a part of her school's marching band. She was attending the second inauguration of President Barack Obama.

Two weeks later, she was murdered by ricochet fire in Chicago. Her death made the news. The president even mentioned her in his State of The Union Address. Outgoing Weeper of the House, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), rolled his eyes when the president mentioned her name and the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre.

I can tell you that Chicago has seen a decline in homicide by guns but the problem still exist.

There's even a website that tracks the homicide by firearms. It's called HeyJackass and it's a controversial tale of Chicago's gun violence.

Many of the concern trolls are balking at the president's tougher stance on gun control in the wake of the Umpqua Community College massacre. The president said the time is now to "politicize" this.

He wants gun control and I am definitely for it. Too many innocent lives are lost to senseless gun violence.

This stupid argument about a "good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun" is getting old.

The gun nuts are playing deflection bingo. They're trying to find ways to distract the American public from discussing the possibility of gun control.

The inept Congress, the NRA, the insurgents running in the clown car and agitators are trying to say that the issue isn't about guns. It's about mental illness and the president is "rushing to judgement" over a tragedy.
Yes, the Black community and Black Lives Matter talk about gun violence in Chicago.
Well this has been nearly 20 times and it's not getting any better. I swear on my life, if Obama didn't mention this tragedy, the conservative agitators would say he doesn't care about them. Their bitching about the Chattanooga shooting. When the president didn't react fast enough to the tragedy they were bitching about him not supporting the troops. He didn't lower the American flags in the wake of four military officers being slain by a deranged man. He took heat for that. The agitators solely focused on the terrorist's religion and race than the fact he had access to firearms and had mental issues.

When the Charleston massacre happened, the conservatives deflected from the fact this terrorist's race, access to firearms and political views. They initially thought the terrorist didn't have conservative views. They thought it was a whack job. They hoped it was a Muslim. Then when the terrorist admits it was about race, the agitators were quick to blame the president for making this about race. The agitators went as far to blame the president for advocating this terrorist because of the Obama's reactions to Michael Brown and Freddie Gray.
Nearly 400 shootings in Chicago this year.
Every time president mentions gun tragedies the conservative agitators turn this narrative about Chicago's gun violence. They act like they're concerned about gun violence.

Let's begin with that Loudmouth Bill Cunningham. The Cincinnati-based conservative agitator has a radio program during the AM middays and Sunday nights. Cunningham is often loud and obnoxious towards the president. He puts on this  "concern troll" act about gun violence in Chicago. He claims the president doesn't talk about Chicago. The pathetic conservative agitator has a syndicated talk show on The CW.

We can include them fucking Black shitkickers Jesse Lee Peterson, Deneen Borelli and Kevin Jackson to the list of deflectors. I've heard these crazy ass coons rambling about the president not mentioning Chicago. They called the president a "racist" for talking about issues like Ferguson and Baltimore.

When you travel about 200 miles to Milwaukee, you'll find the tin horn cop David Clarke. The controversial sheriff of Milwaukee County is one of the umpteenth Black conservatives who rose to fame blasting the president. He runs this "what about my city, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc."

And each of those mentioned appeared on that network's primetime lineup. They appear mostly on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival.

How many more will take before Congress actually gets the message?

Gun crime is the number one threat facing Americans. Gun crime is a bigger threat than terrorism, Ebola, measles, Iran and Russia.

Baltimore Mayor Staphanie Rawlings-Blake Fires Herself Out The Cannon!



The mayor of Baltimore announced that she's not interested in another run for mayor. The drama around the Freddie Gray tragedy made her a lightening rod.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was inspired to go for higher feats. She is one of the most attractive mayors in the United States. She had a bright future. All of that was cut short when allegations of a stand down during the riots came forth. Allegations of mismanagement and the payout to the Gray family may have sealed her fate.

Many in law enforcement and residents see her as inept. Even people close to her felt that a path to reelection would be extremely difficult. So like many politicos, they'll say that it's not about me, it's about the people and the city.

"It was a very difficult decision, but I knew I needed to spend time focused on the city's future, not my own," she said. When asked if she had effectively made herself a lame duck, Rawlings-Blake said that was not the case and that she was now focused on working for the city. She said she did not want every decision she made over the next 15 months to be evaluated in the context of a political campaign. "I'm focused right now on governing, rather than campaigning for mayor at this critical time in our history," she said.

Rawlings-Blake made the announcement at a news conference called only 90 minutes earlier, a move that comes just days after officials said the city would pay Gray's family $6.4 million to settle civil claims over his spinal injury. The mayor said she believes she could have won re-election, pointing to her work on the city's budget and pension system. However, she said, not seeking re-election was the best decision for the city and for her family. Among other things, she said the city needed to get through the trials of the six police officers charged in Gray's death.

And she decided it's not worth fighting for. So Rawlings-Blake decided the time to move on is now.

Baltimore has 619,000 residents in the city.

This year alone there's been over 200 victims of gun crime.

Freddie Gray's Family Rather Have Indicted Cops Jailed Than The Money!

Baltimore settles with family of Freddie Gray.

Baltimore paid the family of Freddie Gray $6.4 million in damages. Many conservatives are outraged at state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake for this.

They believe Freddie Gray injured himself and the six officers indicted are innocent of his death.

They believe Black Lives Matter, President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is anti-cop, anti-White and anti-whatever.

This punitive damages of $6.4 million will resolve all civil claims related to his arrest and death. The payout needs approval from the city's spending panel and that OK is expected to come tomorrow.

Once granted, the money would be doled out over a two-year period. A statement from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's office says that the settlement "should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial." Rather, the city's decision to accept civil liability in the case was done to avoid the cost of a court battle that could have ultimately cost taxpayers much more.

The Sun reports on the magnitude of the settlement: Since 2011, the city has only paid out sums in excess of $200,000 six times; there were a total of 120 claims made in that period related to alleged police brutality, and the Grays' settlement is just slightly larger than all of those combined.

The family would rather see these six officers fired and indicted on the second degree murder charge.

For you see, Freddie Gray suffered a broken neck. The law didn't act on screams of pain. The law didn't think his life mattered.

This death sparked a few days of unrest in Baltimore.

The impact caused the racist right to develop the notion that Democrats advocate for racial unrest.

The left also called to question Republicans failed leadership and their negative influence on equal treatment of suspects.

Many in the Black Lives Matter movement argue that criminals are often treated differently based on race.

Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Taylor Christian, Sam DuBose, Michael Brown, John Crawford, Tamir Rice and many others suffered death at the hands of law enforcement.

Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland's death while in police custody calls into question how those in the lockup ignore injuries of those in detainment.

Baltimore is well on pace to having over 300 gun related deaths this year alone. The problem isn't the Black people, the law or lawmakers. The problem is access to firerarms. The state has lax gun laws that give owners the opportunity to use them in criminal acts. It's not a partisan issue, but a polarizing issue for gun control or strict background checks.

Gun crime is the biggest threat in America. NO ONE IN WASHINGTON BELIEVES THAT!

That's why we're seeing so many events like this happening.

We Still Can't Breathe: One Year Later!

Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and Trayvon Martin were killed by law enforcement. Their names became symbolic with the Black Lives Matter Movement.

We reflect on the need for better policing in the wake of three high profile incidents where the unarmed or unintended were gunned down by the law.

July 17 - Eric Garner was a father of six who lived in Staten Island. He was accused of selling cigarettes on a corner when the NYPD confronted him. While being filmed on camera, one of the officer placed a restraining hold around his neck. Eric would utter the words "I Can't Breathe".

As they take him down on the ground, the law was shocked to find out he wasn't breathing. They would call for an emergency crew. He would die at a local hospital.

This officers Daniel Pantaleo and Justin Damico were let off the hook. The prosecutor Daniel M. Donovan, Jr. found that the officers didn't do anything that caused Eric's death.

Donovan, a Republican went on to become a U.S. Representative in a special election.

The family was awarded $6 million in wrongful death lawsuit.

August 5 - John Crawford was a father of two. He lived in Hamilton, Ohio. He was shopping in Walmart in Beavercreek, a suburb outside of Dayton. He was on the phone when he picked up an opened air rifle. While on surveillance camera, you see him walking through the aisles on the phone with the air rifle, A man calls 911 claiming that John was pointing a AR 15 at shoppers. Beavercreek police arrive on the scene. They enter through the garden center and without proper warning fired two shots at John. John yelled to the officers it's not a real gun.

As they take him down to the ground, the law was shocked to see he wasn't holding a real rifle. They would call for an emergency crew. He would die at a local hospital.

The officer who fired his weapon Sean Williams is in the freezer. He was let off the hook when the Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine found that the officer did nothing wrong. The grand jury said that even though Ohio is an open carry state, John caused his own death.

DeWine is a Republican who sides with the law on most issues.

The family sued Williams, DeWine, Beavercreek and Walmart for wrongful death.

August 9 - Michael Brown was a teenager who lived in Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb outside of St. Louis. He was walking down the street when an officer stopped him. The officer claimed that Michael was acting menacing. There was a struggle and the officer fired his weapon. Out of twelve shots, six of them hit Michael.

As the officer takes him down, he realized that Michael was unarmed. He would call for backup and then an emergency crew. Michael died on the scene.

The officer at first said that he stopped Michael for being in the street. But he would change his story saying that he was told of a robbery and the suspects were nearby. Michael was on surveillance allegedly stealing a cigarillo from QuikTrip.

This event sparked unrest. The QuikTrip that Michael visited was burned down.

The grand jury found that the officer Darren Wilson didn't commit a criminal act and he was spared trial.

That launched another night of unrest. The rioting cost millions, people were injured.

Michael Brown's family is suing Wilson and Ferguson.

Wilson would resign from the force and go into hiding.

You notice that these events happened one year ago. These events have sparked the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Black Lives Matter is an American activist grassroots movement that can be traced back to the July 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Florida shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin.

It received fresh impetus from the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown, an African-American teen, and the death of Eric Garner, as well as the acquittals of both of the officers who killed them. The Black Lives Matter movement also speaks out and organizes against police brutality against African-Americans in the United States.

Some of the unarmed African-Americans who died at the hands of law enforcement have had their deaths protested by the movement, including Tamir Rice, Eric Harris, Walter Scott, and Freddie Gray (which sparked the 2015 Baltimore protests).

The movement was co-founded by three black activists: Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi.

The shooting of Walter Scott by a white policeman was recorded by a bystander, who contacted a local activist involved with Black Lives Matter; they, in turn, contacted Scott's family to take possession of the video. Soon after the video was released to the public, the officer was arrested and charged with murder. The case is pending.

When you look at how many officer involved shootings in which lead to the death of unarmed suspects, you might want to question why do this stuff continue to happen despite the outcry from Trayvon Martin.

So many names in the news being killed by gun violence.

Shame we're still not making progress on gun control. The United State leads in gun violence.

Over 4,000 people were injured by gun violence. About 2,400 of them died because of gun violence.

Gun violence is more of a threat than terrorism. The discussion is often muted because of Republicans, some spineless Democrats and the NRA.

I am a gun owner and I am a voter. But seriously, we need to do something about this.

When will the next shooting occur. Will the junk food media follow this shooting like they've done with John Crawford, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice?

When will we hold those responsible in law enforcement for unintended deaths of unarmed citizens such as Eric Garner and Sandra Bland?

When will we finally recognized that everyone killed by gun violence matters?

World News Today send our condolences to the families of Eric Garner, John Crawford and Michael Brown. We send our condolences to everyone who died in gun violence.
