Ha! Thanks for the article, but here's all I needed to know - and it was given right up front!

Brittney Cooper, teaches Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers

If collective American academia were to disallow articles published in dubious online blogs and web pages as credit for legitimate scholarship, a lot of this spew would diminish greatly. As it is now, a lot of liberal professors and so-called writers would see their source of prestige and income dwindle.

If one considers the police to be but another gang, better organized and equipped, then it was a gang fight, and, indeed, over turf...

Ms. Cooper pretends to want a colorblind society but in reality she gets her very sustenance by propagating racism. We’re we to actually become colorblind race would cease to be an issue. Trivial as left handed ness or green eyes. No, as these folks create goblins that don’t exist to make claims against culture and society that are as fraudulent as they are, they carefully tend and propagate the lies that nurture themselves. If one were to take them at their word you would have to consider them almost suicidal, asking for an end to their very sustenance, which of course they will never do.

Why do you post this drivel on FreeRepublic? We know the idiots at Slate. We shouldn’t be giving them the web site hits,nor the legitimacy as a trusted source.

"""IRONY – The death toll from the “Twin Peaks” shootout was greater than the total number of homicides Waco police investigated in all of 2014 – And all of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police."""

From here...

“police brutality and white-on-black murder by the state”
This tells you what goes on in the mass of contradictions and self-loathing that goes by the name of the “liberal mind.”

The thugs in Baltimore were released on $5k bail. In Waco bail was a million each.

And yet the Left still whines, whines, whines.

But no police were hit. It almost appears like the police took sides.

I stopped reading early on. There were no deaths in Baltimore because the police “stood down”. The police in Waco did not. That simple.

I was reading this and thinking “This doesn’t sound like Slate.” Then I clicked on the link and it took me to Salon and it all became clear.

“But no police were hit. It almost appears like the police took sides.”

The police were probably in bullet proof vest and helmets, they also are also at least nominally trained shots, The bikers er probably drunk or high at least some of them

The nine bikers, all of whom were members of either the Bandidos or the Cossacks

It is unclear at this point if any Bandidos were killed. I have seen reports that the 1 non-Cossacks that was killed was non-aligned. Now that fowls up the police narrative that all were members of criminal biker gangs. So here we are.

Contrary to the report you quote, NONE of the dead were from the Bandidos.

Eight of the dead were Cossacks and one was a 65 year old biker not affiliated with any club (or “gang” in the police vernacular).

And the best reporting I have seen indicates that ALL the dead were killed at the hands of police shooters. Also, tellingly, all their wounds were gunshot wounds - NO knife or stabbing wounds on any of the victims.

Probably no gang was shooting at police. More likely some gang member drew pistol on another and police fired. After first shot fired, other police immediately reacted. Slaughter.

The Waco brouhaha was ‘ between consenting adults’.
