Different Year Same Story: BLACK MAN KILLED BY POLICE

      “We have made incredible progress, this year we have seen the beauty of America’s soul.” –Trump 

(Pops gum) Great we would like to think that every person in America that watched or listened to the State of The Union Address felt that way. While it was great to touch on how law enforcement is cracking down on gangs, and government is going to be pro-active in their support of improving military to fight ISIS, 45 never mentioned the fight on corrupt law enforcement.

31 days into the New year there has already been 105 deaths by police. We not sure if that’s good or bad compared to 109 last year this time. Since November there has been 292 police involved killings.

The site (www.killedbypolice.net) reported that out of the 105 deaths cause by police half of those people were black men. (We didn’t even count the ones that looked like they were mixed but could easily identify as black males.) The list which complies death by year and month has a staggering amount of information concerning the deaths and how they were killed. Out of the 50 something BM, only five were killed either by restraint/physical force or vehicle. All by the gun. Let’s add after spending hours reading each story only one of the killings were ruled an accident.

I must say I put the cup down and had to pop a couple of anxiety pills to get thru this article. I felt so many emotions researching these families that had to endure the pain of loosing a loved one at the hands of someone who swore to protect and value us.

“Let’s side aside of differences for a common ground, to summon unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve.” – Trumps 2018 State of Address

December 28th 2017 Corey Bailey, 30 years old was shot in Indiana by police in an attempted car jacking. (www.wsbt.com) he was the 82cd black male to die by police gunfire in December.

***NOELLA FE SAYS, NOR BAZAAR DAILY IN NO MEANS ARE AGAINST OR FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE AGAINST COPS HOWEVER WE DO NOT CODONE SENSELESS DEATHS AGAINST BLACK MEN.****

Devon Stevenson, 30 was struck by a police car as he turned in front of the officers vehicle. (wwwuspa.com)

Shaquille Roberts just 24 of Texas, died on December 19, shot by police. (www.dallasnews.com)

Derrick Staton, the youngest person on the list was killed just four days into the New Year, when a K9 unit struck his vehicle in Brandywine, Maryland. (www.killedbypolice.net)

The 57th person to die on January 17,2018 was Bryant Gregory was 33. When a routine traffic stop went wrong. Also on the 17th of January Donte Shannon, 26 of Wisconsin was fatally shot 30 times by police officers after a chase ensued during another routine traffic stop. Officers claim Shannon pulled out a gun; as investigation is ongoing no details have been released as to if Shannon fired at police officers. Both stories are available on (www.killedbypolice.net)

Looking at this list, it was pure craziness how some of these incidents were no different than what we call ,”senseless” act of violence. Fear set deep in the depth of my soul for every black man in America at that very moment. As a writer, a reader; I could feel the panic these men must have felt. The racing thoughts of, I am about to die. Take for an example Nathional Edwards, 43, of Illinois, stopped by police and ordered to get out of car; witnesses said, “He didn’t comply but he was not resisting.” The witness stated, “I heard one shot, I closed the door two more shots, pop!pop! When I opened the door the man was still sitting in the car.” Autopsy show he was shot several times in the back. He was the 96th person to die in 2018. (www.ourquadcities.com)

What makes a particular officer feel that they have to shoot to kill versus kill to disarm? No one can take away that police officers and law enforcement have hard jobs. Hard is a mediocre word. Even a down play to what these men and women go through but how can we respect the difference in cops when we are all treated the same. The next couple of victims were said to have been approaching officers. The problem?  To our eyes these stories read like the victims had mental conditions. But you can decide for yourself. What is not up for debate is that these men are dead.

Todd A. Stone 48 of Michigan made threats to shoot up his neighborhood. Neighbors say he was troublesome but when police arrived they opened fire on victim fearing for their life as he pulled out a hatchet.  Police said they were forced to shoot. Noella Fe says, Does that call for them to shoot to kill. It was clear he was very known to police and had a mental illness. (www.detroitnews.com)

Corey Moble, 38 was said to have had a dispute with someone at the gas station in Florida. Cops arrived to the scene, where Moble left. Cops followed Moble to an undisclosed addressed. There witnesses said, Moble went behind a house. Before coming out the victim yelled, he did not have a gun. Police state he yelled he did have a gun and opened fire when he appeared from behind the house. www.mysuncoast.com

Another very interesting find was that there were a lot of shootings involving off duty policeman. Do nurses carry I.V.’s home just in case someone falls out and needs one? Do teachers walk around with college applications just in case someone wants to apply to school? Do bankers take home the fucking money? Say what you want but there is no reason an off duty officer would use force to control a situation. I have seen plenty of videos where civilians have done a better job apprehending a suspect. So either those civilians need to be hired to serve or to train….

Also fatally killed by police in a mistaken identity, Dennis Plowland, just 25 years old was followed my an unmarked police car, thinking his vehicle was involved in an earlier homicide. Plowland was shot in the head as he sat on the curb with his hands in his pocket unarmed. (www.nbcphiladelphia.com) He was the 78th person to die in December 2017 by police fire.

Many people around the world knew who Thomas Yatso was on Jan.13,2018 when he was fatally shot outside of a bowling alley in Charlotte, NC. after being kicked out. At the age where most young adults are just becoming legal, Yatso took his last breath at 21. He was the 47th person killed by police this year.

Thomas Aiken, the 28th person to be shot by police was 43, killed in Arizona on Nov.10, 2017. Willie Floyd McLord, 42 from Washington, was number 1141, he was the 41st person in December to lose his life to policeman.m Officers said they had several run in’s with him before. They had no choice but to shoot when he opened fire as police approached his car. (www.seattletimes.com)

Paul Jones, 25. 34th person killed in November of 2017. (www.salisburypost.com)

99 Black men died in November 2017 amongst them Augustus Crawford,20 years of age; his number was 14.

The craziest most confusing death by police for the month of November is the story of Eddie Patterson, 49. As reported by the chicago sun times; What started as a routine traffic stop turned tragic, leaving suspect and officer dead. Details are still sketchy as to how the car crash happened in which the officer died, but the victim was shot several times.

I didn’t have the energy to look really deep into this case, as I literally read over 200 cases, I felt powerless, like what the hell am I doing , what could I be doing, shit is there anything I can do?…. I could write and inform you that this issue is much bigger than black and white, its more us and them. It’s no fairy tale that we all can turn on the t.v. and see how the little white boy shot those kids up or the older woman who was wielding a knife at cops, in both cases they were taken into custody without a scratch… I banged my head on the wall at the cruelty in which black people, especially black men are treated with.

The same as slavery bore and fed civil rights; this is the baby that the civil rights carried and bore. That baby is all grown up and is uncontrollable because no one ever corrected that baby; they pacified it and held it when it was wrong, and made laws to justify the wrong doing. This baby was hidden away while we cried for the survivors of the Holocaust and for countries we didn’t know exsisted. While atrocities were covered by american flags instead of being outed. No one ever slapped that baby’s bottom, or whipped its ass when it got to the age of smelling itself. Now a grown ass problem, it can’t be contained. Just like a dog that has turned on family members; it must be taken out and laid to rest.

“If there is a mountain we must climb it, if there is a oppurtunity we must take it.” – Donald Trump, 2018 State of Union Address.

We didn’t know how to take this one, but this shooting made the list because of the unique situation. Deputy Sheriff James Hawkins 35 years old was shot on Jan.15th 2018 by his wife, Deputy Sheriff Rataba Hawkins. He was the 51st person to die by police fire.
