The American Holocaust

 

A premeditated mass murder of civilians is happening in America. Its victims include the mentally ill, the disabled, the homeless,  infants, children, and minorities. The majority of its victims are Black males.

While some victims of the American Holocaust are killed by civilians claiming self-defense, the majority are killed by deputized law enforcement. There are some prejudiced citizens who conclude that certain people are up to no good. They call the police who shoot to kill first before asking questions. Using color and claim of official right, there are no consequences for their actions.

Police Taser and Arrest Severely Autistic Man for Walking Down the Street [VIDEO]

 

“Tario Anderson was simply walking down the street.”

…

“Anderson had committed no crime but since he did not immediately bow down to the police, he was tasered and cops piled on top of him.”

In a similar story a deaf Black man was beaten by the police, and in another story a Latino with a colostomy bag (‘looked like a gun’) was tackled by the police.

Interesting article on the complexities of mixing real world politics and self interest with real world human rights.

 

Reminds me of Dr. MLK’s quote of each of us having both good and bad qualities.

Fatal Shooting of Black Teen (age 18) by White Officer in Berkeley, Missouri Sparks Clashes [VIDEO]

 

A white police officer shot a black teenager to death at a gas station in the city next door to Ferguson, Missouri, touching off clashes early Wednesday between demonstrators and law enforcement.

The mayor said that video from the confrontation, in the city of Berkeley, appeared to show the teenager pointing a gun at the officer, and police said a handgun was recovered at the scene. Police said the officer feared for his life.

“This was not the same as Ferguson,” Mayor Theodore Hoskins said.

He took pains to say that the shooting could not be compared to the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson or to the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York. The mayor, who is black, pointed out that the Berkeley police department is majority-black.

He promised a thorough investigation but said that the video showed it was not a police officer going off “half-cocked.”

“Everybody don’t die the same,” he told reporters. “Some people die because the policeman initiated. Some people die because they initiated it. And at this point, our review indicates that the police did not initiate this, like Ferguson.”

Milwaukee ex-officer not charged in shooting mentally ill Black man 14 times

12-22-2014

 

“MILWAUKEE — A white Milwaukee police officer fired after killing a mentally ill black man in April won’t face criminal charges, the top county prosecutor said Monday, a decision that prompted the U.S. attorney to later announce a federal investigation of the incident.”

…

Manney shot Hamilton, 31, after responding to a call of a man sleeping in a downtown park. Manney said Hamilton resisted when he tried to frisk him. The two exchanged punches before Hamilton got hold of Manney’s baton and hit him on the neck, the former officer has said. Manney then shot Hamilton 14 times.

…

Flynn fired Manney in October. He said then that Manney correctly identified Hamilton as mentally ill but ignored department policy and treated him as a criminal by frisking him.”

Another case of a criminal wearing a police uniform and getting away with murder.
