Now check this out and trust me I am not making this up. Mind you the following incident happened while the NYPD is under increasing scrutiny for racial profiling.
Two of NY’s finest who happen to be white walked up to a SUV that belongs to the NYPD and asked the black man inside to get out an ID himself. After the black man a 3 star chief in the NYPD identified himself one of the two the geniuses decided it would be a great idea to argue with him. Now the idiot is on desk duty minus his gun and badge. Read the entire story by clicking the link below:

Philadelphia police chief Charles Ramsey went on local TV in Philadelphia to explain the recent police beating incident and to ask everyone to wait for the investigation to run it’s course. He explains some of the events preceding the beatings. He neither defends or attacks his officers although he says he is not proud of what he saw.

In a very sad story that will take a whole lot of explaining by police in Lima Ohio a young woman Tarika Wilson was shot to death while holding her 14 month old child during a police raid while 5 other children were in the house. The child was hit twice but is in fair condition and should be okay.
A police SWAT Team raided the house looking for a suspected drug dealer and drugs. Have they ever heard of surveillance? You know, so they know who is actually in the house. I seriously doubt any SWAT Team worth a damn would raid a house filled with children especially when no ones life was in immediate danger. A woman is dead and her child shot to arrest a guy charged only with possession ????? You can read more on this sad story by clicking the link below:

An African American New York Times reporter Solomon Moore was covering a story in North Carolina ironically enough on police tactics in high crime areas when he was arrested during a police gang sweep. He found out what many innocent young African American men who have the misfortune to live in bad areas have known for a long time. The police can do whatever they want to you and get away with it as long as they can say it’s because you were in a bad area. Click link below to hear Solomon’s story
