So now cops are racist even when they save a black person’s life?

So now cops are racist even when they save a black person’s life? That’s the warped logic of the fury over the shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant. Bryant was a 16-year-old African-American girl who was shot dead by police in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday, not long before the verdict in the Derek Chauvin case was read out. Cue online anger and activist rage. ‘Black lives matter!’, people cried. Yes, they do. Which is why that police officer shot at Bryant – because she was about to stab another black girl. ‘Black lives matter’ seems to have been the motivation for the cop’s behaviour.

The speed with which the killing of Bryant was folded into the woke, BLM narrative was extraordinary. And foolish. Because it quickly became very clear that this incident was more complicated than the virtue-signalling set realised. Police were called to a confrontation between young women in Columbus. Part of the bodycam footage from the officer who shot Bryant – Nicholas Reardon – has now been released. It clearly shows that Bryant was carrying a large knife and was closing in on one of the girls. Bryant seemed ready to lunge. Reardon opened fire. He saved a black girl from possible death or certainly from serious injury. Racist? Get real.

If BLM’s online army had waited for all the information, they wouldn’t have made such arses of themselves. Another cop killing another black person, they all sighed. Get ready to protest again, they said. LeBron James tweeted an image of Nicholas Reardon with the words ‘YOU’RE NEXT’ and the hourglass emoji, the implication being that Reardon was another Chauvin and he would soon get his just desserts. For helping a black girl who seemed to be in imminent and mortal danger? James later deleted the tweet....

If I were an AA and I believed everything BLM said, I would get the hell out of this country ASAP.

What was the song? You must be very careful to teach children how to hate?

Looks like her parents may be doing just that.

Steps to follow When coming on the scene of a crime:

1. Swear any perpetrators in as policemen or deputy sheriffs.

2. Watch in amazement as finally they get prosecuted for their crimes.

The undertones of what I keep hearing from the Left: Let black kids kill one another. It’s none of your business.

And when those numbers of killings continue to go unfettered, as they do in Chicago, they will blame whites for not caring about dead blacks!

WASH! RINSE! REPEAT!

The cop killed the little girl just because she was exercising her cultural right to stab another girl who was annoying her.

Negroes. I followed along through the first couple of official designation changes then reverted to the original correct usage.

You must lower your standards. By your statements you expect logic and/or common sense from the now commie left presently in charge in the US. No. Expect only lies. Truth does not matter, hasn’t ever since crappola like “everyone who voted for DJTrump is racist” became a controlling meme. All that matters is power. THEY will say anything, so long as it increases their power. That is all that matters anymore. Get used to it, it is the inheritance of all your children.

Negro is just Spanish for black. That is why I use the word, not negro, colored, PoC, African-American or any of that other stuff.

And most of BLM is white.

I suspect the craziest segment of our population is self-loathing white women. There are times when I wonder about the wisdom of women’s suffrage.
