Hey Brother. Know that I understand, EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HERE!!.

Yet, it's not the first time. When I moved home to Charleston for a minute, waiting on the husband to retire from the "gubment" -- I found and wrote about exactly this: https://lets-be-clear.blogspot.com/search?q=The+murders+won%27t+stop+unless+and+until%2C+one+way+or+another+--+they+are+made+to+pay

White folk in Charleston totally ignored this child's death cuz, 1) the cop was Black and ,2) it happened in the projects -- systemic racism be damned!

I'm so f*ckin' tired, Herb!! Aren't you??? When are our folk gonna understand "the system" will throw their asses under the bus, saying they're rooting out "bad apples," while white cops continue to either, be put on administrative leave, pending investigation or never prosecuted at all for murder??!!

When I lived in the Keys and worked at the newspaper (Oh, Margaritaville wasn't any different than Chicago, et al! F*ck theBS! And still isn't!), I was instrumental in a push for a Citizen's Review Board with subpeona power (important, yet impotent if that subpeona power doesn’ happen -- didn't happen) as well as Community Policing.

Brother, I watched Crump's news conference with the family and HE'S RIGHT! If nothing else, they can't (without an uproar,NOW, dammit!) treat white officers differently as these five, stupid brothers realize — OUR ASSES.AIN’T.WHITE!!!

Thanks for the post, Darlin’…
