Something I posted on my faceplace page the other day after some cursory looking into it. No one in the media is talking about this. They should be.
"I've been looking into something over the past few days, and it's rather disturbing, yet no one is talking about it...
The information is spread out, and is somewhat tough to come by, but it's slowly coalescing, and it's startling...
The majority of the cities with the worst record of their police departments killing unarmed black men are, and in more than a few cases have been for decades, controlled either completely or in large part by Democrats.
Chicago, St. Louis, New York. All places where shocking incidents have occurred in which unarmed black men have been killed by police.
Now add Milwaukee to the list.
Include Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, DC, Philadelphia and others.
All bastions of Democratic power and control.
The Democrats claim to be the party of the oppressed, against racism, promoting equality for all.
Why have they ignored their police departments? Why have they allowed this to continue under their watch?
Yes, this is something that occurs far too frequently in police departments that are controlled by Republicans.
But to hear the talking talking heads, the protestors, etc., this is all the fault of the right.
Why are these Democratic machines not being held accountable for the actions of their police departments and for failing to enact proactive reforms that could result in a more positive police/community relationship?"
