It only took a few days. After someone knocked on Al Sharptons door and said "hey, this cop who killed the Latin kid might be getting preferential treatment", , the poofy haired one rose up. He said "if a cop is getting this treatment, we are not having it".
I am sad that it took this long for someone to become the voice of Jason Tirado and his family. There has been small protest marches outside the 25th precinct. I have seen some e-mails going back and forth calling for more protest. The media isn't letting the subject matter die without a fight. ABC is keeping it on their radar with title stories like " Rage grows in east Harlem".
Rage??? They do not know the meaning of rage. Rage is when someone walks up to the cop who shot Mr Tirado and rips his arms from his body and beats him with it. What is going on is not rage, it's a community growing tired.
Without doing the proper research I think I could go back and name 3 to 4 victims of fatal police shootings where the victims were not armed. The one who comes to mind (the Latest one of course) is Shawn Bell. Another would be Timothy Stansfield, Elenor Bumpers. That is just in ny without research. I am quite sure if I google enough, there will be many many more.
It is 7:23am. I am writing about what matters these days. I am trying to hit subjects that are close to home.
Let's go
