RE: 6th anniversary of murder by cop of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr whose life alert pendant malfunctioned and officer may have called him N-word by officer at time facing civil suit for racially motivate battery in police station

in #history7 years ago

One problem with explaining how bad the issue of Death by Cop in the USA is that everyone wants to make it a racial issue which often it is but when you look at the total numbers of people killed by police officers you would be begging for gun control for police officers.

The ones that are supposed to protect and serve instead have a new motto, "Attack and Unnerve" Their jobs are difficult but they are too quick to use deadly force to protect the law. Take away their guns and only accept men of honor and integrity to the position to solve this enormous problem. The government allowing the police to bear arms when often the citizens are restricted has created a hostile aggression against it's citizens including law a biding.

Yea, very sad that Chamberlain's family still has not had justice throught the courts. Hopefully the appeal goes well, assuming it has not already been decided.

In this instance after doing much research it clearly appears that this was a racially motivated crime. All death by cops should be vigorously investigated by an independent agency not an in-house internal affairs phony baloney investigation. This story makes me angry that there has to be such a drawn out process. Hard to begin the healing process if there can ever be one!

Agreed. hopefully the appeal if it hasn't already been heard will find justice at least reparations for the family since it sounds like criminal prosecution and actual justice isn't going to happen.
