police officers' lives collide in interweaving stories of race, rank, loss, and
betrayal.
Synopsis: A nation once led by hate, racism and injustice. A
sad legacy handed down by forefathers. Comes to a head - with the shooting of a
Man in Blue.
An NYPD Detective is shot by one of his own, benevolent
brothers in uniform. Communities are ignited - to march for justice. Gangs put
their differences aside - for a united fight, an equal opportunity. "That
people not be judged by the color of their skin but for the content of their
character." The movement and unity impacts City society and leads to a
Blue Wall intervention within the Police force. White cops lust for change and
act on it - by flushing out racism. Not an easy fight. In the end, what was
considered impossible, became possible.
EQUAL STANDARD will not only take you through the storm, it
will show you that racism is only a mental chain - a chain that can and will be
broken in spite of insecurities, beliefs or differences. African American
Detective Chris Jones, with Caucasian Detective David McKenzie, reveal that,
when McKenzie's brother's life is taken by an African American Detective - in a
shooting under "Friendly Fire" law. By the end, there are no fingers
to point. We are all victims of this way of thinking, a historic result of
family values or traditions handed down by generations. No life should ever
have to be taken for change to materialize. It's not the guns that corrupt our
society but the conscious mind behind the gun that demoralizes us. Hatred not
only distorts our judgment. It also blocks our spiritual blessings.
In my opinion, the Amazon Prime Movie, Equal Standard is a Liberal
story of Portraying massive, rampant, uncontrolled on Earth, the Common
Practice of White Police killing Blacks.
BUT the story doesn’t mention about Black-on-Black killings,
such as what happened on January 7, 2023 when FIVE BLACK POLICEMEN IN ALANTA,
GEORGIA STOPPED A BLACK MALE DRIVING IN A CAR & PROCEEDED TO PULL HIM OUT
OF THE CAR AND BEAT HIM WITHIN A FRACTION OF DEATH.
The
Conservative Reported News states: Five Memphis police officers have
been charged with second-degree murder, among other charges, in connection with
the death of Tyre Nichols, who died three days
after being stopped by the officers.
Nichols, a 29-year-old black
man, died on January 10, three days after Memphis police officers stopped him
for “reckless driving.” – Reference: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/01/27/five-memphis-police-officers-charged-with-murder-for-death-of-tyre-nichols/
A
“confrontation occurred” between Nichols and the police officers when he was
stopped around 8:30 p.m. on January 7, according to an initial statement released
by authorities.
However, “another confrontation occurred,”
while officers attempted to take Nichols into custody.
“While attempting to take the suspect
into custody, another confrontation occurred; however, the suspect was
ultimately apprehended,” the Memphis Police Department said. “Afterward the suspect complained of
having shortness of breath, at which point an ambulance was called to the
scene.”
Nichols was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he was
reportedly in critical condition before dying days later.
NOTABLY, MEMPHIS POLICE DEPARTMENT
OFFICERS DEMETRIUS HALEY, TADARRIUS BEAN, EMMITT MARTIN III, DESMOND MILLS, AND
JUSTIN SMITH ARE ALL BLACK, AS WAS THE MURDERED TYRE NICHOLS.
“I was waiting for their faces to be
on TV, and when I saw all Black policemen — how could you do this?” 73-year-old
Memphis resident and longtime activist Carrie Louise Pinson said.
Each of the five officers joined the
Memphis Police Department between 2017 and 2020, the New York Times reported.
The officers were a part of the
Memphis Police Department’s SCORPION Unit, which stands for Street Crimes
Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods.
On Thursday, a grand jury returned
indictments against all five officers for charges that include kidnapping,
official misconduct, official oppression, and second-degree murder.
The grand jury indictment comes after the Memphis Police
Department fired each officer last week.
“The actions of all of them resulted in the death of Tyre
Nichols, and they are all responsible,” Memphis district attorney Steven J.
Mulroy told reporters on Thursday.
Additionally, the Memphis Fire Department announced that two
employees who responded to the scene have been “relieved of duty” amid an
internal investigation.
A federal civil rights investigation
is also reportedly underway.
Memphis officials are expected to
release the body camera footage from Nichols’ traffic stop on Friday.
However, Tennessee Bureau of
Investigations director David Rausch said the video is “absolutely
appalling.”
“In a word, it’s absolutely
appalling,” Rausch said.
“I’m shocked, I’m sickened by what I
saw and what we learned through our investigation,” Rausch added. “Let me be clear, what happened here
does not reflect proper policing. This was wrong, this was criminal.”
Antonio Romanucci, a lawyer for
Nichols’ family, said the video shows the police officers beating Nichols like
a “human piñata.”
HOWEVER, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND MEMBERS
OF NICHOLS’ FAMILY HAVE CAUTIONED AGAINST VIOLENTLY PROTESTING AFTER THE BODY
CAMERA FOOTAGE IS RELEASED.
“MY HOPE IS THAT THEY ALL REMAIN
PEACEFUL BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE NEED ON TOP OF THIS TRAGEDY IS FOR A PROTEST
TO GET OUT OF HAND,”
MEMPHIS NAACP’S PAC CHAIRMAN IAN
RANDOLPH SAID.
“WHEN THAT TAPE COMES OUT TOMORROW,
IT’S GOING TO BE HORRIFIC. I DIDN’T SEE IT, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR, IT’S GOING TO
BE HORRIFIC. BUT I WANT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO PROTEST IN PEACE. I DON’T
WANT THE BURNING OF OUR CITY, TEARING UP THE STREETS,”
NICHOLS’ MOTHER, ROWVAUGHN
WELLS, SAID. “CAUSE THAT’S NOT WHAT MY SON STOOD
FOR. AND IF YOU GUYS ARE HERE FOR ME AND TYRE, THEN YOU WILL PROTEST
PEACEFULLY.”
THE LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA AND BLACK
COMMUNITY DID NOTHING, NO RIOTS, BURNING’S, KILLINGS, STATUE’S BEING PULLED
DOWN.
IN REGARDS TO THIS MURDER, ALL YOU
HEARD ACROSS AMERICA AND THE WORLD WAS CRICKETS.
NO WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENTAL SPEECH OR
PRESS CONFRENCE, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC OR ANY OF THE LIBERAL NEWS OUTLETS GOING ON
FOR MONTHS TALKING ABOUT AND SHOWING VIDEO, AS THEY DID WITH GEORGE FLOYD OR
THE FEBRUARY
26, 2012, TRAYVON MARTIN, A BLACK TEEN WALKING HOME FROM A TRIP TO A
CONVENIENCE STORE, WAS FATALLY SHOT BY GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
VOLUNTEER PATROLLING THE TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITY OF THE RETREAT AT TWIN LAKES IN
SANFORD, FLORIDA. THE CASE GAINED NATIONAL ATTENTION. PROTEST RALLIES WERE
HELD IN CITIES NATIONWIDE, INCLUDING NEW YORK CITY, WHERE ON MARCH 21 HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE GATHERED FOR THE MILLION HOODIE MARCH AND DEMANDED JUSTICE FOR
MARTIN, WHO MANY BELIEVED ZIMMERMAN HAD PROFILED AS SUSPICIOUS AND THREATENING
SIMPLY BECAUSE THE TEEN WAS BLACK. TWO DAYS LATER, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAID OF THE SHOOTING:
“IF I HAD A SON, HE WOULD LOOK LIKE TRAYVON.” IN ADDITION TO RAISING A NATIONAL
DEBATE ABOUT RACE RELATIONS, THE SHOOTING DREW ATTENTION TO FLORIDA’S
CONTROVERSIAL STAND YOUR GROUND LAW, WHICH ALLOWS PEOPLE TO USE LETHAL FORCE IF
THEY FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THEM TO RETREAT FROM A
DANGEROUS SITUATION, EVEN WHEN IT’S POSSIBLE TO DO SO.
TRAYVON MARTIN’S DEATH SET OFF NATIONWIDE
PROTESTS LIKE THE MILLION HOODIE MARCH. AND IN 2013, PATRISSE CULLORS, ALICIA
GARZA, AND OPAL TOMETI FORMED THE BLACK LIVES MATTER NETWORK WITH THE MISSION TO
“ERADICATE WHITE SUPREMACY AND BUILD LOCAL POWER TO INTERVENE IN VIOLENCE
INFLICTED ON BLACK COMMUNITIES BY THE STATE AND VIGILANTES.”
The following is an Baton Rouge, Louisiana State
Times/Morning Advocate Newspaper article from March 4, 1987.
Three youths (BLACK) were arrested Wednesday on charges
they beat...
MARCH 4, 1987
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Three BLACK youths
were arrested Wednesday on charges they beat and sexually assaulting a BLACK 6-year-old
boy, then threw him into a dirty apartment swimming pool where he drowned.
The youths,
ages 13, 14 and 16 (A fourth 16 year old
teenager was arrested on MARCH 5, 1987 ), were
charged with kidnapping, attempted aggravated rape and the first-degree murder
of Willie Strowder. Authorities refused to identify the three because they are
juveniles. They said more arrests are possible.
Police
spokesman Sgt. Carl Thompson (NOTE: I knew Carl Tompson when he worked for
Allied Chemical in Geismar, LA around 1971 to about 1973) said the charges do
not distinguish between adult or juvenile status. Under Louisiana law, anyone
16 years old or older can be tried as an adult.
The boy
disappeared from the parking lot of his apartment complex Friday evening. His
bicycle was found that night about three blocks away behind a warehouse.
The body was
discovered Tuesday morning when the manager began cleaning the pool at the
apartment building a half-mile away from the child's home.
Rosalind
Strowder, the boy's mother, said her son could not swim.
Lt. Julius
O'Brien, head of the police department's juvenile division, said the boy probably
knew his attackers.
An autopsy
showed drowning caused his death, but bruises also were found.
'The child had
bruises to his body,' O'Brien said. He also said the autopsy showed evidence of
sexual assault.
Capt. Ronnie
Alford said the child's torn jacket was found at the edge of the swimming pool.
Detectives said
they believe the boy was attacked in woods near where his bicycle was found.
They said he apparently was taken about six blocks to the apartment complex and
thrown into the pool with his jacket on.
Detectives said
they believe the boy -- still alive -- then was pulled from the pool by his
jacket. His attackers, apparently afraid he would identify them, then threw the
boy back in the pool and threw a wooden chair on top of him.
A resident
later removed the chair, but did not see the body in the murky water.
I remember
there eventually was a Court Trial and the parents of the four Black boys
stated in Court that their boys were “good” boys and were at home at the time
of the kidnapping, attempted aggravated rape and the first-degree murder of
Willie Strowder. I seem to remember the 4 black boys were found innocent of the
crimes of kidnapping, attempted aggravated rape and the
first-degree murder of the little Black boy Willie Strowder and NO ONE WAS
EVER CONVICED FOR THE CRIMES.
I searched the
Internet by using Microsoft Edge and MANY phrases such as: 1987 murder trial of
Willie Strowder in Baton Rouge, LA, BUT I FOUND NO RESULTS.
If this had
been 4 WHITE boys committing the crimes of kidnapping, attempted aggravated
rape and the first-degree murder of the little Black boy Willie Strowder, there
would have been National/World Major News Coverage STILL TODAY WHEN A BLACK IS
KILLED BY A WHITE, along with; Marches, Rioting, Looting, Destroying Property, Murders,
Rapes of White Women, Robberies in Baton Rouge, LA and Surrounding areas.
New FBI Crime Data Shows Record Surge in Black-on-Black
Homicide, and Increase in Anti-White Hate Crimes
Using
FBI data, the murder rate for 2020 was approximately 6.5 per 100,000 people.
Not since 1998 has the country seen a murder rate that high.
Additionally,
according to the data, the black share of known homicide offenders rose to a
record of almost 60%, with the same demographic committing over 50% of all
violent crimes. for the year.
According to the same data, anti-white hate crimes are
the second most common hate crime category. The data also show that black
offenders of hate crimes occurred at over twice the rate per 100,000 people
than hate crimes committed by white offenders.
On
average, black Americans commit hate crimes at a rate that is three times
higher than whites per 100,000 according to FBI crime data from the five
previous years.
Traditionally,
white Americans are far more often victims of interracial crime than any other
group. In 2018, The Bureau of Justice Statistics released
its survey of criminal victimization, breaking down 593,598
interracial violence between blacks and whites. Black Americans committed
537,204 of those interracial felonies or 90 percent, and white Americans
committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent.
In
2012-13, then-President Obama’s DOJ recorded that black Americans committed 85
percent of all interracial victimizations between blacks and whites; white
Americans only committed around 15 percent.
Furthermore, despite making up only 13.4% of the
American population, black Americans commit more than double the
amount of interracial homicides on white Americans, who make up 60.4% of the
American population.
