Never forget that millions are made off of Black Death, Black Misery and Black Dysfunction..It may be record labels profiting handsomely off the death of Biggie and 2Pac. It may be the prison industrial complex complete with police overtime, the funding of war on drug task forces and private prisons. Sadly its more than a few who are involved in the movement for our justice..Yes indeed, quite a few showed up Ferguson to cake off the death of Michael Brown. Time Will Reveal..
The latest in this scenario is a woman from Waukegan, Illinois named Catherine L Crump who just submitted applications to trademark the phrase ‘I Can’t Breath’ so she can profit off the death of Eric Garber. She plans to continue putting out a line of hoodies, t-shirts and other gear. After all in 2014, its fashionable to wear symbols Black death on our clothing. According to the Smoking Gun who spotted the application, the woman claims to have been using the phrase ‘I Can’t Breath’ since August 18th when she started selling her first t-shirts.. She has not spoken to the family and has no intention of doing do. You can read about that HERE.
Meanwhile New York City police and supporters held a Pro Police rally in front of City Hall and were rocking t-shirts and signs that read; ‘I Can Breath‘ ‘Hands Up So You Can Breath‘ ‘Can’t Breath? Don’t Steal‘ and ‘I Can Breath-All Lives Matter‘ ‘Police Lives Matter‘ and ‘Blue Lives Matter‘. People may wanna peep this video to see the level of Pro-cop hostility–http://bit.ly/1zHZUhz
Meanwhile Mayor Bill De Blasio is aggressively pursuing a policy in which police do not have to give fair warning before enacting mass arrest at a protest
What’s being lost in these Pro-Cop Rallies and the hoopla behind them? 2 things.
First the focus has shifted to Blue Lives Matter and not the fact that the DA in Missouri, Bob McCullough put on the stand during the Grand Jury a woman who had a history of mental illness, making racially hostile remarks and lying on Black people in the past. Her name is Sandra McElroy. The DA now admits he put witness on the stand who were lying. You can read about that HERE.
2-Our friends in media are not investigating the claims by Eric Garner’s stepfather who noted that Eric had been both sexually assaulted by NYPD and had money stolen from him by them.. He had filed a complaint. He notes, the NYPD officers were there not there because Garner was selling ‘looseys’ or breaking up a fight, but in fact they were there in retaliation to Garner’s complaint.
In terms of sexual assault, Daniel Pantaleo the cop who choked out Garner had a history of assaults against Black men where he routinely strip searched them and humiliated them by fondling their genitals.. In fact the city of New York paid two settlements in regards to that.. Don’t believe me Read about that HERE.. http://bit.ly/13nmqRr Now go back and watch that Pro-cop video to better understand what these racist folks are defending.. Nuff said
