On December 1st, former NFL play Joe McKnight was shot and killed in a road rage accident and his admitted murderer was released today without charges...
The ongoing North Dakota Pipeline controversy, internet known as #NoDAPL has not been getting a lot of attention within the black community. Briefly, the well being of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota is being threatened. A multibillion dollar pipeline project proposed to infiltrate their reservation land has significant potential to contaminate their water supply and expose them to chemicals. The government is seemingly unresponsive to their concerns and it has been reported that aircrafts have been hovering over the area, dispensing what residents believe to be chemicals, in order to weaken the protestors... As seen in history the well-being of Native Americans has never been a major concern of the "American People"....
The officer that shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott will not face charges, as he reportedly acted lawfully in his use of force. He was reportedly armed and the video shows evidence of some bulge that could be a gun. However the problem is that this officer acted lawfully. Morally or ethically, not so much maybe, but lawfully yes. And so the problem lies within the fact that the law protects an officer on the way to investigate another crime being able to intervene and kill someone from some odd feet away, WHILE the victims wife explains he has a PTSD condition. This is unacceptable.
Additionally, one lone juror is holding back the process of indictment for the officer that fatally shot Walter Scott. As you may recall, last year officer Michael Slager pulled Scott over for a brake light malfunction, Scott told the officer he was on the way to get the light fixed, eventually Scott fled on foot after exchanging words with Slager, leading to Slager chasing Scott, tasing him and then it is shown on video of Slager shooting Scott IN THE BACK, 8 times... One juror is holding out on his conviction and for whatever reason, protecting the officer that lied about the incident, delaying justice
Everyone's favorite finesse kid, Kodak Black, is out of jail... but before we all rejoice, we must remember that he was put in jail charged with sexual battery, and while he has not been proven guilty, the sexual assault kit has his DNA. I personally cannot comfortably support and rejoice this when it is possible that he is a rapist, and if it is it makes me even more uncomfortable that if he is convicted, some of you will still continue to say #FreeKodak
And Flint, Michigan still does not have clean water...
If you aren't upset, you're not woke...
