And Klansmen’s grandsons…
Some crazy shit has surfaced from the state of Louisiana, which is now ground zero for racist fuckery.
Whether we are talking about BlackWater USA mercenaries shooting Black folks in the back after Katrina, or the New Orleans police beating the bejesus out of a senior citizen on to the Jena 6 there is obviously an issue with Black folks when it comes to this region.
The latest story is the murder of a 21 year old who was tasered to death while in handcuffs.
Baron “Scooter” Pikes received the treatment that “Scooter” Libby should have gotten. The funky shit is that homeboy was murdered in January. How the fuck does this story just now get leaked? I’m pretty sure they have the internets in Louisiana now. Still and all this story managed to remain suppressed for half a year. Will the Justice Department step in to correct the inequality that is rampant in Louisiana?
Nahh, of course they aren’t. We are living, and dying, in a police state.
He is chillin’ with that Taser like he’s turning over some links on the BBQ pit or some shit.
I read that he is the first cousin of Mychel Bell, one of the Jena 6. Fucking crazy.
Do people ever stop and think that electricity running through your body isn’t the most positive thing? So repeatedly running a current through someone could be bad. I’ve seen those taser demonstrations and I’m pretty sure after two hits most people say, “Fuck it…I you win.”
I read about this joint the other day. Shit is fucked up. They basically was tasering a dead man at one point and more than likely was aware of it at the time.
and here thought the NYPD was full of morons …
“His partner had just come back to the police department from triple bypass surgery and could not assist Officer Nugent.” — So, if he was so useless why was he even allowed to be in the police car???
“In the year since Winnfield police received Tasers, officers have used them 14 times, according to police records — with 12 of the instances involving black suspects. Ten of the 14 incidents involved Nugent, who has no public disciplinary record.” — OK, so he’s basically the only one using the taser? seems like he gets his jollies by shocking people to watch them squirm. Let me get at him, I’ll damn sure make squirm….
” Winnfield has seen a spate of high-profile corruption cases in recent years. One of Nevils’ predecessors as district attorney, Terry Reeves, killed himself amid allegations of embezzlement and extortion. The town’s current police chief, Johnny Ray Carpenter, is a convicted drug offender who received a pardon from former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards who himself is now serving a federal prison term for racketeering.
And Carpenter’s predecessor, Gleason Nugent — the father of Pikes’ arresting officer — committed suicide in 2005, after allegations of fraud and vote buying in the race for police chief, an elected position in Winnfield.”
— and this pretty much tells the whole story. And like I’ve said before, the closer we get to election day, the more apparent it will become that racism still exists in this country, at all levels. Yes, the majority of the country is not racist and will probably be OK with a black president, it’s that other group of holdouts and backwards thinking ‘citezens’ the are going to create the problems. We shouldn’t forget that, prior to 9/11 our biggest terrorist threats were home-grown.
I think most of the main cities aren’t completely racist, but I think the ratio of racist areas to non-racist areas are higher than we want to believe. Racism is wrong if white says its wrong and you’ll stay losing thinking otherwise.
And how can you be suprised about shit like that recently resurfacing? The media refuses to repremand their “professional” journalist when they speak out of pocket about kneegrows, so hoe can you expect fair reporting? I bet La still call white “sir” “boss” “misses” and shit. There are still parts of the south that will lynch your ass if you are a “dark butt”.
RIP to the fallen. That shit is NOT right b.
Yea this is messed up..the Klans reference made me think of Bush ans Obama…You know how Bush Jr tried to play all good and dandy citizen Kane during his first go round at trying to get into white house and turned into David Duke once he got in? What if Obama pulled a Big Al from the reparations episode from the Chappelle show? : “This isn’t my real voice…Kiss the rings, bitch!”

(poor quality)
Man, they said he tased him 6 times to get him into the squad car, tased him directly in the chest as he was in the back then pulled him out and tased him two more times. Plus he might have died after the 7th one.
That is incredible, I hope they do try him for homocide.
The tasers in that department have only been used 14 times, 12 on black suspects and 10 of those 14 times was by the same guy who killed this man.
Im surprised there isnt a riot in that town.
And…. the south stays losing!
