First they came for the Negroes....

Image result for robert minjarez imagesI will start with those provocative words from Pastor Martin Niemöller :

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

I know that some of my fiends in the majority population (and others) believe that  bad police behavior only impacts those pesky Negroes. And, more importantly, that you don't have to speak out because you are not a Negro.

But I have a couple of stories for you that might make you want to reconsider your position.

"Some are calling Robert Minjarez Jr. the Latino Eric Garner. Sadly, the comparison is uncanny—including the failure of the system to indict the officers who killed Minjarez.
For about five minutes, the report said, Minjarez is heard on dashcam audio screaming, "Help! Help! Help me! Get off! You're going to kill me!" The report also quotes him as saying "You're going to suffocate..." and "I can't breathe" three times. He cried and screamed, his voice becoming "increasingly muffled, hoarse and strained" while repeating "I can't breathe," the report added.  
About five minutes after he was restrained, the report said, Minjarez groaned and gurgled, and an officer said, "You got 265 pounds on your back, you're not going anywhere." The suspect groaned "and no more sounds are heard from him," the report said.
The report from the Lafayette, Louisiana, coroner lists the cause of death as "compressional asphyxia due to face-down physical restraint by law enforcement officers."

As was the case with the officers who killed Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York, the grand jury proceedings in this case are sealed and prosecutors are not obligated to say a single word.
According to a local newspaper:
Minjarez was taken to the hospital by ambulance and EMS reported he "had blue ears and was not breathing initially." He remained in intensive care until declared brain dead and was declared dead on March 7, 2014." [Source]

And there is this sad story out of Iowa.

"A Des Moines police officer fired her service weapon through the rolled-up window of her patrol car on Tuesday night, fatally shooting an unarmed man said to be charging at her car, according to police.

Image result for ryan keith bolinger desmoinesRyan Keith Bolinger, 28, of West Des Moines, died at the scene from a single gunshot to the torso. Police and witnesses said he led two officers on a slow chase through northwestern Des Moines Tuesday evening that ended with Bolinger exiting his vehicle and coming toward the squad car.

"He was walking with a purpose," Sgt. Jason Halifax of Des Moines Police said following a press conference Wednesday on the shooting.

Senior Police Officer Vanessa Miller, a seven-year veteran, fired the round that killed Bolinger. Miller was assisting Senior Police Officer Ian Lawler, also a seven-year veteran, in the pursuit of Bolinger's vehicle after a bizarre confrontation involving an unrelated vehicle stop that Bolinger interrupted.

Both officers are on administrative leave until the investigation, is completed, per the department policy. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation will assist in the investigation." [Source]

Wait a minute! "Walking with a purpose"? What the hell does that even mean?! Since when did "walking with a person" become a death sentence?

They called the officer that killed Mr. Bolinger a "Senior Police Officer". I would hate to see how a new police officer conducts him (or herself) in the field.

Say it with me people: These police officers need better training out here.

This ongoing war between Colonel Sanders and Popeye's is getting out of hand. I heard the peace talks in Paris are breaking down and that Colonel Sanders is threatening to introduce chitlins and pickled pigs feet to the menu. Who will stop this madman?!

Is Russia, news keep problems quiet. If riot, then is not film. If catastrophe, then is not talk of it. Only good thing is that in Russia we not have the problem of the dark man or the gay.

The cops in the Americas are fuking caraycray! Whas the matter wit dem fukkas? They done gone wild!

That's training? that's protecting citizens? Shoot first and ask questions later? I mean *scratching head* is like the Gestapo come to life again! Forget if they're mental, or sick, or drunk, or angry,just shoot and kill!!! Dayumm! WTF? and if they're black teens, screw them over as much as possible!!!! Double dayummm!!!

I think President and Mrs. Obama must be upset about this because they have a young daughter that is I think about the same age as that young girl in the infamous Texas tragedy. And as I thought about my beautiful black granddaughter, so they must have thought about their beautiful daughter.

In Russia, not only do we fail to report stuff that did happen (like Russia invading Ukraine), we also DO report news events that never happened!

Putin's paid army of online trolls spread the following fake news story about a totally fictional industrial accident in the U.S. (The trolls' job is to make Putin look great and America look terrible.):

"On Sept. 11, 2014, hundreds of troll Twitter accounts claimed to witness a chemical leak in St. Mary Parish, La. They posted news articles supposedly from websites like CNN and local news outlets. Some residents got text messages telling them to seek shelter.

The chemical leak, claiming to emanate from a nonexistent company called Columbian Chemicals, never happened. The news articles were fake and taken from cloned websites."


Of course, in our great nation, Fox News has managed to do almost the same thing, showing footage of riots from other countries and labeling it as depicting badly behaved America leftists. Or who can forget when they helpfully informed everyone that Birmingham, UK, is an "no-go zone" for anyone who isn't Muslim. LOL

So congrats, Fox, on being as un-factual as the propaganda services of a deranged dictator.

"Walking with a purpose"? Yikes.

I remember the good old days when a police officer would at least pay you the courtesy of suspecting you of having a gun before he opened fire.

Now it's enough you're walking in her general direction.

Next, it'll be: "Your honor, he looked at me funny."

Whachutakinabou? LOLOL! It already is "your honor he looked at me funny/wierd" AND/OR "he was walking with a purpose/intent"

This is Black Run America. The police are the enforcement arm of BRA. Without the police keeping the White Man down, blacks would not be free to create the havoc and mayhem that keeps.everyone under control.

These are your police, my negroes.

Field, this was another tragic case of hiring a woman to do a man's job. First, they are scared shitless of just wearing the uniform. I knew this would turn out to be a mess when women started trying to do a man's job.



"Next, it'll be: "Your honor, he looked at me funny.""

Isn't that why the brother in Baltimore dead, because he looked a cop in the eye? This reminds me of the days of Jim Crow. You don't look ANY white person in the eye if you are a Negro. And you had better get off the sidewalk when a White walks by...and keep your eyes down.

Wow, this proves that the police are not racists. Hence, you FN Negroes need to STFU. I always knew the police were fair.

You Negroes, esp Field and those FN negro regulars owe the police across America an apology.

Anyone got a "overcharged" button.

Or as the Obama administration calls it, a "reset" button.


Gotta love how Obama/Hillary couldn't even be bothered to google to check the spelling before passing out an "overcharged" button.

Don't have a problem with Rachel Dolezal.

You've heard of transsexuals haven't you? Men and women who feel they were born in the wrong body? Nobody has a problem with them any more.

Rachel is transracial, that's all.

Same thing.

Good to hear you are tolerant.

I just hope you don't go all hypocrite/double standards next time some troll says he is Black.

My foreign-born wife idly wondered if police across the country read or watch or listen to the news. If they see how often this crap is happening (and being filmed), shouldn't that change their policing methods?

That's great news for people like Ras Trent. Now he can finally get the respect from society that he deserves.

Why can't a black president have fast track authority? Why don't Democrats want the first black president to have FTA?

Will field allow this racism to go unnoticed?

"Why can't a black president have fast track authority? Why don't Democrats want the first black president to have FTA?"

Why do YOU want a black, or any other kind, of president to have fast-track authority -- i.e., having Congress vote on major legislation without the opportunity for public debate on what is contained in that legislation?

Oh right, I forgot. You're a Republican. You guys don't like democracy.

(And yes, I do realize that this also means Obama is not in favor of democracy on this particular issue. This is not to his credit. But liberals are not the adoring, uncritical fanboys of the president that you make us out to be, and will give him grief if he is doing something foolish.)

Rachel of the NAACP is definitely Black.

However, I know how she must feel to be declared by some brothers and sisters to not be Black....I have been called White by Field, and that sorry ass Purple Cow several times. It hurts, it really does.

But you have got to realize that is the nature and character of some mean-spirited jealous Blacks such as Purple Cow. Hell, if I was purple, I'd be pissed off too.

As far as Field is concerned, he is an ignorant Jamaican trying to pass as an AA in America. It's not working.

Dear FP, You have a pretty good detector, what is your opinion about the ethnicity of Rachel?
