white cops kill unarmed black men, cops dont face trial

waveswhen you grow up black, especially with a huge afro, especially in an all white neighborhood, you learn a few things


mostly from your relatives who grew up in the south.


keep your hands out of your pockets in stores

dont browse for too long

dont put anything in your pockets

always get a receipt

dont put anything in your bags

when walking in the streets walk in the streets

and when dealing with the cops

do everything they say right away

because for some reason blacks end up in jails

or dead.


we saw rodney king beat by a group of cops in the streets


the first viral video


we saw the cops face trial and all get off.


they got off on rodney king then they got off on rodney king.


people sure love to talk about how OJ got off but when was the last time you heard about all those cops getting off on rodney king.


thousands of people rioted over six straight days in LA after those cops were acquitted by that jury in simi valley


thousands of people were arrested.


after the federal case only two of the four cops were sent to prison


despite serving up 56 baton blows in the 81 seconds of video and nearly killing mr king.


so the sad thing is many blacks had no faith that local courts would find cops guilty enough in these recent officer-involved deaths to make them stand trial


and i for sure didnt expect any of them, if they did go to court, to serve any jail time.


because rodney king.
