San Francisco Police Officer’s Shoot Mario Woods 15 Times

San Francisco police surround Mario Woods before fatally shooting him, seen in a video screengrab shot on a mobile phone. Photo: Supplied


It has been an ongoing occurrence for decades that the African American males have to put up with racism. The racial profiling has gotten to be an everyday event. The police are killing them off at an alarming rate. It seems that once a week you hear about some police officers shooting to death an unarmed or an armed with a knife an African American male. It’s like a turkey shoot! This has to stop. U.S. police killings headed for 1,100 this year, with black Americans twice as likely to die. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/01/us-police-killings-this-year-black-americans
On December 2, 2015 around 4:30p.m., on the same day as the massacre in San Bernardino. Mario Woods was standing up against the wall supposedly holding a 15- to 20-centimetre knife, surrounded by 6 racist police officers pointing their guns at him. Mario Woods tries to walk down the path, away from four officers but towards one officer who steps towards him, the camera turns away and at least 15 gunshots were heard. Now this was a prejudiced shooting and you can’t say that it wasn’t. These six San Francisco racist police wanted to shoot someone after what happened in San Bernardino. Watch these six S.O.B.’s will probably get away with it like they always do. It is a shame!

San Francisco So Called Hot Cop Chris Kohrs’ Faces Felony Hit And Run Charges



Sitting here in San Jose California on a Sunny 45 degree morning listening to the news of this crazy world. One story that caught my ear, was the hot cop of the Castro in San Francisco arrested for a hit and run of two men. I thought what the heck, was this moron thinking. On November 30, 2015, 38 year old off duty police officer Christopher Kohrs was driving a Dodge Charger according police he struck two pedestrians, both were men in their 40s. This happened around 2 a.m. as the men crossed Broadway Street near Montgomery Street. What really got me was he had the never to flee the scene on foot. I know he didn’t think he was going to get away with it. Did all this fame go to his head and turn him into a complete idiot for him to forget all his police training. This moron is supposed to be a veteran. Authorities are investigating if he was in intoxicated. Da! Why else would police officer leave the scene, when he knows better? Hey, everyone wants their police to represent their communities. I guess you reap what you sow?

Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke Shooting Video of Laquan McDonald Is Appalling



As a mother of a thirty year old son I worry every day that he is safe out there in the mean streets of San Jose California. Being an African American male or a person of color in this country is like being a turkey, at a turkey shoot. The definition of a Turkey Shoot is (a situation, typically in a war, in which one side has an overwhelming advantage). The reason I feel this way is, that some police officers who put on a badge think that it gives them a license to do whatever they want. Even to kill and hide behind the good ole statement “I feared for my life”.
This was the case of Police Officer Jason Van Dyke for a whole 13 months he tried to justify the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. On October 20, 2014 Laquan McDonald was running and then walking down the middle of a street in Chicago carrying a 3 inch knife. Police officers supposed to have been following him because he was suspected of breaking into cars. I’m not calling Jason Van Dyke police officer anymore, he proceeded to get out of his police car and within seconds started shooting. Jason Van Dyke shot Laquan McDonald the first time while he was walking away and then proceeded to walk over to him while he was lying on the ground and shot him 15 more times. I don’t know what Jason Van Dyke was thinking at the time he killed Laquan McDonald but I think it is fair to say he had hatred in his heart. To shoot someone 16 times you have to have hate in you. I’m so glad that the video was shown it tells the whole story it is appalling. Some police officers have gotten away with the murder of so many people for hundreds of years. Enough Is Enough!

Officer Ray Tensing Lied and Tried To Get Away With the Murder of Samuel DuBose x



Many police officer get away with murder by lying and cover ups in the police departments all over this nation. Well Officer Ray Tensing is a liar and dumb one at that. On Sunday July 19, 2015 around 6:25 p.m. Officer Ray Tensing killed unarmed Samuel DuBose. After a traffic stop of a missing front license. In his statement after the murder he said to dispatch, “I am not injured. I almost got run over by the car. He took off on me. I discharged one round struck the male in the head." Tensing's attorney told reporters that his client feared for his life. He also said he said that the victim, "Turns the car on, jams it in the drive and mashes the accelerator. He wasn't slowly pulling away. (Tensing) feared for his life. He thought he was going to be sucked under the car that was pulling away from him. He thought he was going to get sucked under and killed." I’m not calling Ray Tensing a police officer from this point on. He should not have been a police officer in the first place. He did not know how to handle himself, with a basic traffic stop. He was wearing a body camera and he must have forgot that when he decided to lie. The video told another story all together. Ray Tensing was indicted for the murder of Samuel DuBose. Now a man has lost his life and for what? It doesn’t make sense, but this is nothing new. The number of unarmed African Americans killed by police officers, has been going on for decades. In the month of January 2015 there were 91 unarmed African Americans killed by police. What about the countless others that didn’t get the news coverage. The police lie and cover up, but this one can’t be covered up. Ray Tensing flat out lied and it was caught on video. Unlike the Oscar Grant case it was on video, but the officer in that case got away with it. Police departments and city officials across this country have to stop trying to protect officer’s bad behavior. I give props to the City of Cincinnati and there officials for getting this one right.

Baltimore Maryland Riots Again After 36 years


People gather Tuesday, April 28, 2015, in Baltimore, in the aftermath of rioting following Monday's funeral for Freddie Gray, who died in police custody. Gov. Larry Hogan said at a news conference Tuesday that Baltimore will not have a repeat of the riots that happened on Monday. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

Here we go again! The City of Baltimore Maryland riots again 36 years later. The last time was the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. On April 12, 2015, 25 year old Freddie Gray was arrested for possession of a switchblade which was later determined to be a lie. While in police custody and on his way to the police station he was injured severely. He died on April 19, 2015 from injuries to his spinal cord and larynx. The Gilmore Homes neighborhood sparked a mass protest with the death of Freddie Gray. After his funeral on April 27, 2015 the protest turned violent and civil unrest ensued because the people were sick and tired of the police. I don’t think the people of Gilmore Homes neighborhood should have vandalize their neighborhood it only hurt themselves.
It was not only in Baltimore where mass protests happened. Cities across the country were protesting the injustice that has been going on for decades. Cities like Washington D.C., Ferguson Missouri, Oakland California, Seattle Washington, Minneapolis Minnesota, Philadelphia and New York. Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Treyvon Martin, Oscar Grant and the thousands of other who we have not heard of have lost their lives at the hands of police or someone who thought they had authority. The people aren’t standing for this type of blatant abuse of authority anymore.
I lived in Baltimore for a year back in the early 80’s. Back then the people in certain areas of were always complaining about how corrupt the police were. When I went back in 1997 it had not gotten any better. I still saw boarded up row houses, kids hanging out when they were supposed to be in school. The police harassing black men on the street. When my Husband and son went back in 2009 it was still corrupt. Everything was so separate you rarely saw white people unless you went to their neighborhoods or out to the county of Baltimore. Coming from California it was a real culture shock. One thing I can say is that it was good to see white people and other nationalities peacefully protesting with blacks and holding signs saying Black Lives Matter.
This is a nationwide matter the Police Departments across the United States have to do a lot better, be held accountable and stop covering up bad behavior of police officers. This hold situation keeps on happening and people are saying enough is enough.

San Jose California Is Becoming Like the Wild-Wild West in Murders


Just when I finished writing about San Jose’s 31st and 32nd murders less than a week later 22 year old Ramon Garcia a father of five was shot and killed on Saturday afternoon August 24, 2013. Ramon had gotten into an argument with some guy at St. James Park in downtown San Jose. They chased him to Julian St. and 3rd street and shot him at the Tico’s Taco restaurant parking lot. He died later at the hospital. Ramon’s Aunt Patricia Lechuga said, "I asked him if he was going to stay out of trouble, stay out of jail," she said. "And he said 'yeah Tia, I'm gonna do good, I'm gonna try and do good this time and I'm gonna do it for me and my kids.” San Jose California is turning into the Wild-Wild West in murders. It’s getting like the 1700s and 1800s all over again. You get into an altercation and someone shoots you. Now days it’s hard to walk away from certain situations but you have to. You never know what will set a person off. This was San Jose’s 33nd murder so far this year. In 2012 there were 46 murders at the rate of murder going on San Jose will pass that number this year? A lot of people are talking about we need more police on the streets that is not going to help. People that have murder in their heart will continue to kill.

The City of Boston Being Terrorized and Paralyzed



The City of Boston can’t catch a break after the bombing at the Boston Marathon on April 1, 2013. The City of Boston and it's surrounding area is on locked down. Everyone is asked to shelter in place. Mass transit is shut down. There is a massive manhunt for the second suspect in the marathon bombing. This all started with two brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when their photos were released by the FBI. As soon as the photos were released information about the identity of the suspects started pouring in. The two brothers went on a robbing, killing and shooting spree. Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev robbed a 711 store and then fatally shot police officer Sean Collier 26 while he sat in his vehicle on MIT campus at 10:20 p.m. on April 18, 2013. Then the two brother’s carjacked a Mercedes SUV kidnapping the driver and holding him for a half-hour and robbing the drivers ATM account for $800.00. They released the man. He was unharmed. A police chase ensued. They sped toward Watertown throwing explosive devices out the window at the police. Then a shoot-out with the police resulted in the shooting of the older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He had bombs strapped to his body when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at Mount Auburn Hospital. 19 year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got away by busting through a police barricade. He is the one who has the City of Boston paralyzed. What made these two brothers do what they did? We probably won’t know because when they find Dzhokhar Tsarnaev I don’t think he is not going to be taken alive. I just hope they hurry up and find Dzhokhar Tsarnaev before he does any more damage to the people of Boston. Come back for more information updates on “The City of Boston Being Terrorized and Paralyzed”.
