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 piƱata.”

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

https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/03/04/Three-youths-were-arrested-Wednesday-on-charges-they-beat/5783541832400/

 

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

https://www.dailyveracity.com/2021/09/29/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.
