Aug 094 Police officers and Lovelle Mixon Dead
I don’t know about hero or resister for the right but then I’m not in Oakland but I know the news that comes out of that area and as a black man I know cops.
I like what the brother says about Lovelle being a human being. The media does it all time, they set you against one group and bring you on board to blindly praise another and its usually a white face. Who knows what these cops have done and gotten away with, no one is perfect and I am sure there are things on their records that are not upstanding but we don’t hear that, instead we hear how they were great cops, loving husbands doing their job…what does that mean…harassing black men is that there job?
Black men are killed everyday by white cops doing “their job”, then these black men are demonized by the media “well he was this”"he was that”…but never anything to show that he(the black man) was a loving husband, a father, a diligent student, a man. The cops are praised as black mothers cry rivers of tears when they must bury thier babies. I won’t say Lovelle is an hero, he has done some bad things but lets not demonize a dead man lets give him and his family as much respect as we give these cops. People have to realize cops are not all good, they may act it but they aren’t gods or above the law, they are humans with the same flaws and weakness and just because the Police forces cover up their wrong doings do not for a moment believe these cops are all angels.
I do not condone the kills either that of Lovelle or the police officers but you keep poking a cat with a stick and eventually that cat will lash out.
