About 2:45PM today right where the CVS in Baltimore was burned out
last week, Cable news broke out of their normal action to show a man
laying on the street. A black man. They also showed a gun on the street
nearby. The 2 second view the cameras showed actually had ME convinced
the man had been shot.
Fox immediately and to their CREDIT as an
impartial witness themselves, had eyewitness live testimony from one of
their reporters, and a witness in the street, who lives in the
neighborhood.
The FOX reporter said he heard a shot, ONE SHOT, and
saw the man laying on the street, and another cop standing over a
weapon, which was clearly a revolver and no snub nose. The man was
removed within 10 minutes though it was not clear where he was taken.
Crowds began to gather.
The neighborhood eyewitness gave her view.
She witnessed that the man who she said was shot in the back, was
sitting on a stoop talking with friends when the cops singles him out,
gave chase and a white cop shot the man.
Crowds were getting loud
around the police and the reporters. This witness then told the reporter
that there was no question about what happened and if the police came
out with a different story, they were just ‘covering their ass’ and she
would never believe anything the cops had to say. In this, she made no
distinction about the color of the cops. Thus giving truth to the
narrative growing in the last week, that the cops were not really black,
but invested in the white mans dominance, and were BLUE. This narrative
was new to me and one I had heard only a few hours earlier from a
social critic whose color I don’t know and don’t want to know.
Had
Barack Obama been a unifying president, PERHAPS he could have achieved
faith in the outcome of investigations and that neighborhood would not
be thinking anything the cops had to say, the cops who were predators in
this view, was a lie, thus freeing that city from facts, truth and
justice. And THAT is Mr. Obama’s legacy. He has eroded the faith in
every American that the govt we vote for is CAPABLE of recognizing and
conveying truth, and therefore cannot render justice.
Black people
in Baltimore and around the nation have no faith in a federal
government run by black Americans, no faith in a local government
controlled for many years by black Americans, and too many white people
think this admin is a bad joke, not because it is run by someone else,
but because is either naive, OR EVIL. Either way it is an abject failure
no matter what color you are.
By the way, the police have
officially reported that NO ONE WAS SHOT, and a man was arrested on a
gun charge, and that the weapon ‘fell’ and went off.
PS, the officer in NYC shot in the face on Saturday has died.
Where is Mr. Obama’s outrage on that?
This
nation is divided as never since 1860, and is on the precipice of a
fantasy international agreement which is far more likely to trigger a
nuclear war than prevent one.
I cannot even IMAGINE how Mr. Obama
will be a bigger failure the day he runs from Washington for Hawaii, but
I am sure he WILL BE by his willful division of our people, and his
stubborn insistence his ideology fits all situations

I was watching FNC when the story first broke.
The neighborhood eyewitness put on quite a show. Sobbing and averring that the police had shot down the man for no reason whatsoever.
She could have started a riot with all her carrying on and LYING.
Later, it tuned out, of course, that the man hadn't even been shot. Then, no more about the neighborhood eyewitness. Not a peep on TV. Where's the follow-up?
Follow-up in the WaPo: Baltimore police charge man with discharging gun at volatile corner.
