NYPD Cop Selling T-Shirts That Say, ‘Breathe Easy, Don’t Break the Law’…Wow!

A member of the much-corrupt New York Police Department is responding to the ongoing protests against police shootings of unarmed black men. The cop is snubbing protestors by selling t-shirts that read: “Breathe Easy, Don’t Break the Law” — a mocking spin on Eric Garner’s dying words, “I Can’t Breathe”. Garner is the NY man who was choked to death by a NYPD cop who put him in an illegal chokehold.

The NYPD is a bit salty over the heat and backlash they’ve gotten since officer Daniel Pantaleo was not indicted for killing Garner.

Camille Cosby stands by her man!

Comedian Bill Cosby, has responded to reports that her husband is a serial rapist.

Mrs. Cosby released a statement to the media yesterday affirming her marital vows to stand by her husband.

Mrs. Cosby spoke out for the first time about allegations that Bill Cosby, 77, drugged and raped numerous women, including former supermodels Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson decades ago.

“He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man,” Mrs. Cosby said in a statement first reported by CBS. “A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know.”

Many of the allegations against Bill Cosby are hearsay: their word against his. No criminal charges have been brought against him, and no evidence supports the women’s outrageous claims.

Mrs. Cosby compared the allegations against her husband to a Rolling Stone article written by a U.Va. rape accuser. The woman’s story is now in doubt because it contains factual errors and fabricated facts.

“None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim,” Mrs. Cosby wrote. “But the question should be asked — who is the victim?”

The Cosby’s celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in January.

“Racism in America”…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

 

Racism.1

So here we are about to embark on Christmas 2014. Racism still taints the American dream. Race relations are more prevalent now since a black president was elected into office in 2008 and more black men have been murdered or gunned down unjustly.

African Americans came from a history of sit-in, bus boycotts, marches, protest and the transformation of civil rights laws, giving us full civil and legal equality in this country. Yet prejudice and racism still exists and rears its ugly head in todays society.

It was one thing back in the day when the government decreed that blacks couldn’t vote, couldn’t patronize restaurants or couldn’t apply for certain jobs, that sort of racism shames everyone. But when you have cops killing and brutalizing young black men where prosecutors wink and grand juries allow these cops to walk, while refusing to indict, this is a deep rooted seed of racism.

Join me tonight at 6:30 P.M. on “Conversations Of Sistah” via BlogTalkRadio.com for tonight’s “Conversation” —> “Racism in America, and it impact on our ways of thinking“.

I will be taking calls on the subject at 1-917-889-7872, just press “1” to speak with me the host.

“No Indictment in Eric Gardner case”

Yesterday a Staten Island grand jury decided “NOT” to indict police office Daniel Pantaeleo in the choke hold death of Eric Garner. What is shocking to most, is that we all saw the same video and witnessed Garner dying on a sidewalk right before our very eyes.

This New York grand jury’s decision comes just 2 weeks off the heels of another grand jury’s decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. This sends a clear message to people of color everywhere that police officers are not indicted for taking the lives of black men and young black boys in this country.

Protestors quickly took to the streets of New York blocking traffic in Times Square, Union Square, Battery Park, Henry Hudson Parkway, while lying down in Grand Central Station just in time for rush hour commuters.

The scenarios are all to familiar and somewhat the same however, let’s take a look at the high profile police shootings in this country to date. These are just some injustices, as I’m sure there are many we are not aware of:

  1. John Crawford in Beavercreek, Ohio killed in a Walmart because he was holding a fake gun.
  2. Tamir Rice a 12 year old who was fatally shot by a rookie police officer Tim Loehman playing with a fake gun in a park.
  3. Sean Bell shot and killed on November 26, 2006 leaving his bachelor party at a Queens bar in New York.
  4. Amadou Diallo shot and killed in a hail of 19 of 41 bullets outside his Bronx apartment on February 4, 1999.
  5. Trayvon Martin, 17 year old, shot, killed and pursued by a Florida neighborhood watchman on February 26, 2012 because he was judged as a “young thug” because he was wearing a hoodie.
  6. Oscar Grant III, shot and killed by a BART police officer in Oakland, CA on New Years Eve 2009.
  7. Michael Brown shot and killed August 9, 2014 in Ferguson, MO by police officer Darren Wilson.
  8. Eric Garner, the 43 year old, Staten Island father of 6, died in an illegal choke-hold.

This list is sad but alarming, for we will never have peace when justice is DENIED.
