White Police Officer Shoots and Kills Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri

On August 9, 2014, a white police officer named Darren Wilson shot an unarmed Black teenager named Michael Brown to death in Ferguson, Missouri. According to reports, Officer Wilson stopped Michael on the street in the afternoon to ask him about a robbery at a nearby convenience store. Although the precise details of what happened next remain unclear, many eyewitness accounts suggest that Michael ran from the officer with his hands raised in the air. Officer Wilson then shot Michael six times and claimed that he had feared for his life. Michael’s body was found approximately 150 feet from the officer’s police vehicle. He had graduated from high school just eight days before and was scheduled to begin a vocational training program two days later. There is a presumption of guilt and dangerousness that has unfairly made people of color, particularly young Black men, targets of police aggression and violence. The shooting and its aftermath sparked weeks of protests in Ferguson and beyond. Demonstrators chanting “hands up, don’t shoot” as a rallying cry against police brutality gathered in the streets, facing officers armed with military-grade equipment. Law enforcement’s heavy-handed response to the protests prompted national discussions about the militarization of inner-city police forces, and the ways in which police officers used violence to repress dissent and maintain racially biased social conditions. Despite nationwide pleas for accountability, no one was punished for Michael Brown’s death. A grand jury ultimately declined to bring criminal charges against Officer Wilson, and the Department of Justice also refused to file federal civil rights charges.

Derek Chauvin Will Ask U.S. Supreme Court To Overturn George Floyd Murder Conviction

This comes after the Minnesota Supreme Court refused to hear Chauvin's case.

Even when in prison for murder, they still use their white privilege to avoid any punishment for crimes they have committed. I hope he never gets out of prison unless it's in a coffin.

Fred Hampton’s parents at the unveiling of a bust honoring their son in Maywood Park, Illinois. Hampton, Chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party, was labeled a threat by the FBI in 1967. December 4, 1969, the 21 year old was drugged, shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid on his Chicago apartment…an assassination allegedly carried out by state police and the FBI. Today we think of him as history. For his parents…he was their baby.

Ahmaud Arbery Murder Suspects Don't Want Him Called 'Victim' in Trial

The McMichaels file new motions with a barrage of bizarre requests pre-trial.

Why do the murderers have any right at all? 

So often innocent victims being hunted down and murdered had no rights at all. This makes me very angry.Two crazy looking racist rednecks lied from the beginning.

Racism in America

Left: On June 21, a white mob riots and overturns a car. For about 24 hours in June 1943, Detroit, Michigan experienced one of the second wave’s worse race riots, resulting in the deaths of 25 blacks (17 of whom were killed by police). Right: During the Detroit Race Riots, a member of the surrounding white crowd attacks a black man in police custody and it was okay with white police.
