Now correct me if I’m wrong , but the usual will happen. First there is the protest, then the family will put up a gofundme, Ben Crump will move swiftly to settle the case. The president will call the family and even invite them to the white house, and here comes Ben Crump’s favorite part, The City/State will pay out a lump sum usually in the millions. Then everyone will go about their daily  lives like nothing happened. Does this sound familiar?

Its almost as if we want these things to happen so we get a big pay out. These settlements are tax payers money. I don’t know who we think we are punishing by taking this money? the white man ? white supremacy?  the Police ? the state ? we have to learn that you cannot punish an entity or  an institution, you can punish individuals though,  sure a few individuals will go to jail but the system remains the same.  let us remember this is not money from wall street, not money from big pharma, not money from big tech , not money from corporations, basically its not money from institution that systematically oppressed black people.  I will say it again , it is tax payers money.

This simply means money from some resource will have to be diverted to pay for this,  some family will be become very rich . These states are usually impoverished and yet somehow we will squeeze out millions just to give to one family as if to say it will bring their family back. lets take a look at some numbers shall we

1. Tamir Rice $6 Million
2. Freddie Gray $6.4 Million
3. Laquan Mcdonald $5 Million
4. Eric Garner-$5.9 Million
5. Sandra Bland-$1.9 Million
6. Mike Brown-$1.5 Million
7. Trayvon Martin $1 Million ( undisclosed)
8. Philando Castile  $3Million
9. Sean Bell-$7 million
10. Koryn Gaines (was supposed to $32 Million but a settlement was reached for $3 million)
11. Alton Sterling $3 million
12. Oscar Grant $1.5 million
13. George Floyd $27 Million
14. Breonna Taylor $12 Million

Yes brothers and sisters , $88 Million and counting , let us not forget, black lives matter founder Patrice Cullors became a millionaire by starting an organization for activism. Black lives matter got more than $90 million. Yes they got more money than the sum total of what the Victims got. Let us not forget Rodney King who was awarded $3.8 Million  who died of a drug overdose

Brothers and sisters, it is getting to a point where the difficult question has to be asked

Do We really want Justice ? Or a Pay out ????

First Publication on this Issue 

I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt, with one question, where is the protest for David Dorn.?   David Dorn was a retired Police officer, a captain who was shot after responding to a pawnshop alarm. He was an officer for 38 years. David Dorn was 77 years old, oh he was shot by a black man. Where is the protest for him.??? Black lives matter but only to everyone else but black people. Back to our celebrities, they always know when to weigh in don’t they? they know when to throw money around.  They know how to express their fake outrage at people they would never meet or know or even care about,  then they come to protests with bodyguards and return to their gated communities to feel safe.  BLACK ON BLACK CRIME IS just swept under the rug. We can kill each other all day long.

Again it is almost as if this is about something else. If all this was fair then someone tells me what happened here. Oh before I mention that, let us not forget about the COVID 19 which is now killing black people more than any other race,  I have to ask, where are the protests for that, Hello??? celebrities????  Amazing how the narrative jumps around !!!

Back to the story, a white woman by the name of Justine Damond was shot by a black police officer in the same city in Minneapolis after she called the Police because she saw a woman being assaulted. Mind you this happened right after Philando Castile a black man who was fatally shot by a white Police officer. If this was really about Police Brutality, then there should have been a protest against the police. Although the officer was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison. No one did anything, no protests, nothing!

No one deserves to die, especially by some else’s negligence, but if BLACK lives matter, it should matter ALL the time not sometimes . and if we are talking about Police Brutality we should talk about it in terms of ALL lives, ALL the time. Did anyone notice, the word Brutality doesn’t have a race attached to it ???
