Crimes against the police or by the police are a deplorable sign of the US racist society. The British Parliament had the good sense to ban slavery in the 1830s without any slaughter. But the United States had a majority in Congress keeping American Africans in bondage for free labor, an offense against inherent free rights. They weren't about to call it quits as they enjoyed luxurious lives on their Southern plantations. (The North had them too, but truck farming didn't call for as much labor.)
Dear Ones,
It took a brutal Civil War and its aftermath that cost the lives of over 70,000 men, women and a million horses. The shadows of those black days cast black clouds over our heads even in a modern world.
Dear Ones,
First of all the word "race" regarding Earth and its people was contrived by a German when he color-coded humanity into a hierarchy of colors having derogatory meanings: black, mostly evil and negative, (as believed by the church); red, dangerous; white, fearful coward; and yellow, coward–according to encyclopedias and dictionary meanings.
Reviewing the Johnny Gammage case that happened in the Pittsburgh area years ago, a scene of horror comes into my mind–a remote dark road one night when a young man was driving his cousin's Cadillac. The owner was one of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A gang of rogue cops, who had a bad reputation in their station of pegging African Americans as "damn niggers," and much worst, also displayed brutality against them as well. They flashed their lights and made him pull over. He reached for his cell phone as they opened his car and pulled him out. They then jumped him and skilled him. I called the local coroner who is also called in for national crime cases. He told me truth concerning the tragedy. They smothered Johnny Gammage.
American Africans, as did American Indians, have had to endure the worst bigamy and ethnic transgressions that now include anyone having more protective pigment or melanin in their complexions than the authorities. However, the minority is now a world majority.
When there is a situation where so-called "whites" and "blacks" (the most rival colors) confront one another in democratic litigation, history must come into the forefront. Cases such as this become national and international news since the young men were traumatized by men who killed them.
Travon Martin and Michael Brown in recent years have caught world attention. What used to go behind close doors is now out in the open. Both cases became national and international news.
Even though litigation in court was held, the public has taken sides, both as armchair TV watchers and others actively protesting the outcomes–what will never be settled in the eyes and conditioned minds of these opponents.
Now the difficult part of the controversy becomes reality. The one side has historic roots of brutality used against them with the culprits rarely being prosecuted or incarcerated. When there's a tie between two groups of people, someone has to pay the price.
When a decision is made that appeases neither side, society's crimes become manifest openly, with a review of all the past crimes of the same nature. When the total picture of a crime is placed on the scales of justice the populace begins to see the light.
