Family Defends Disabled Black Man Murdered By Police Today While Waiting For Son’s School Bus

Keith Lamont Scott Killed By Police While Reading A Book, Waiting At Bus Stop A disabled man was shot and killed by police today in North Carolina and their story isn’t adding up. According to police reports, they say the man was armed and posed a threat to the officers. His family however, says Keith Lamont Scott was disabled, and usually sits and reads a book while he waits for his child to get off the school bus from school. Here are more details from WCNC News . Police say they were serving an outstanding warrant when they came upon Keith Lamont Scott in his car.  They say Scott got out, had a gun on him, and put the officers in imminent danger.  Officer Brentley Vinson shot Scott. “Man was in his truck, reading a book waiting for his kid to come home,” said a man on scene.  “Cops shot him, for nothing.” Emergency services were called to the scene where they transported Scott to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. “As is standard procedure with any officer involved shooting, Officer Vinson has been placed on paid Administrative Leave,” the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said in a statement Tuesday night. Officer Vinson has been employed with the CMPD since July 2014. He is African American. Scott’s daughter Lyric Scott came to the scene in front of news cameras to defend her dad’s character. Here's the man's sister. She says he did not have a gun. @CMPD says he did. @WBTV_News pic.twitter.com/JwHMixy9m7 — Sarah-Blake Morgan (@SarahBlakeWBTV) September 20, 2016 Scott’s brother also let reporters know that the police man who shot him was dressed in plain clothing. A man who said he’s the brother of Scott said to NBC Charlotte this evening: “Just know that all white people are (expletive) devils. All white cops are (expletive devils, and all white people.” “He was waiting on his son to get from school and police came out with no.. he didn’t have on no uniform to determine if he was a police or not — he was an undercover and he just jumped out and yelled ‘gun’ and shot at him,” he told NBC Charlotte’s Tanya Mendis. “I think they shot him four times, I’m not sure, but he’s dead.” Hostility among the community grew quickly as word of what happened spread. A woman saying she was the man’s daughter posted a video on Facebook Live from the scene. “Shot my Daddy for being black! And look they’re just standing there.” As night fell, a massive crowd of people gathered on Old Concord Road, chanting in protest after another officer-involved shooting where an African American man was killed. “People get upset when we say ‘black lives matter, black lives matter,’ said a student. “But these are the people we have to focus on the most because these types of situations always happen.” BREAKING: brother of man killed in CMPD shooting says he got out of his car because he was armed & scared of PD pic.twitter.com/IgwsrLmfKf — Tanya Mendis (@tanyamendis) September 20, 2016 Something doesn’t add up here! We need answers.

Ex Police-Officer Donald Trump Supporter Says BLM Protesters Should Be Shot Dead A RawStory report is a shining example of exactly how bats#!t crazy many Donald Trump supporter are and how dangerous it is for us to do anything that might allow such a man to take hold of the Presidency… Donald Trump sycophant and former police terrorist officer, Jim Stachowiak, took to YouTube to post an inflammatory and racist azz video After ranting a bit against President Obama and Hillary Clinton, Stachowiak turned his attention back to the riots and said that anyone seen exiting a store during riots should be shot on sight on suspicion of “looting.” “I don’t care if they’re women and children, anyone coming out of a store should be shot on site,” he said while holding up gun and pointing it at imaginary “looters.” “They should be shot exiting the store. If they make it down the street, take their asses out and shoot them in the back.” To further emphasize his point, he took out a bullet with the initials “BLM” written on it to show that it is intended for Black Lives Matter activists. “This is the solution to BLM,” he says. F*** this guy. Hopefully someone hits him off with that Dylann Roof fade. Image via YouTube

Plot Twist: Black Man Arrested For Burning Down Black Churches

Black Man Arrested For Burning Down Black Churches Last week, we reported that someone was running around and setting fire to a number of Black churches all around Ferguson , Missouri, the site of Michael Brown’s murder at the hands of the police. Given the city’s racial tension following last year’s unrest, authorities weren’t ruling out the possibility that a racist was behind the church burnings. But as it turns out, the arsonist may have been a Black man. Via The Atlantic: St. Louis-area police have arrested David Lopez Jackson, a 35-year-old black man, in connection with the burning of churches around the area. Jennings has been charged with two counts of second-degree arson. There have been seven fires in St. Louis and nearby Jennings over the course of October. The arsons struck a range of denominations, but mostly black churches. A sixth church was racially mixed, while the seventh was predominantly white. The fires ran the gamut from minimal to serious damage. Because of the long history of arson attacks on black churches—including several this summer and a long spree in the mid-1990s—and because of the tense race relations in St. Louis since the death of Michael Brown in August 2014, the fires immediately raised the specter of hate crimes. Indeed, the suspect arrested Thursday is black, and authorities didn’t offer any indication about a motive during a news conference Friday afternoon. Police have only charged Jackson with fires at the New Life Missionary Baptist Church and Ebenezer Lutheran, but they said he’s a suspect in the others. His car was spotted near the New Life, and forensic evidence tied him to Ebenezer; there were also gas containers in his car, police said. All seven fires were similar in type and location, generally around doors. Plot twist like a mofo! Will be interesting to hear his reasoning for burning down Black churches and adding fuel to to the city’s racial tension. Twitter

Black Man Found Hanging From Tree In Rural Georgia

Black Man Found Hanging From Tree In Georgia A Black man recently associated with the death of a local white woman was found hanging from a tree in a rural Georgia town on Monday. Investigators are currently working to determine if the act was a lynching or a suicide. Via New York Daily News : A black man recently questioned in the death of a white woman was found hanging from a tree in rural Georgia Monday morning, launching an investigation by local and state authorities, according to local reports. The body, identified as 43-year-old Roosevelt Champion III, was discovered in a backyard by a resident in Greensboro, between Atlanta and Augusta, around 11 a.m., police told NBC News. Authorities have thus far said that there is nothing to immediately suggest foul play. Greensboro Police Chief Ossie Mapp, describing Champion’s location, said he did not live at the address. His body was described as suspended by a plastic strap, one similar to those used to secure cargo on vehicles’ roofs. There were no visible signs of wounds to his body and his feet were described as just scraping the ground. The death investigation has since been handed over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). No foul play…but who would hang themselves in someone else’s yard ? NYDN

Elsewhere In The World: “Racist Incidents” Up 85% Since Last Year In Ireland

Ireland Racist Incidents Up 85% In 2013 85% sure is a large increase ! According to Irish Times: An 85 per cent increase in racist incidents this year has been reported by the Immigrant Council of Ireland. The council said 142 incidents had been reported since January, compared to 77 during the same period last year. Reports peaked over the summer months, with 31 incidents in July alone. Most cases occurred in a person’s local community or workplace, while harassment, both verbal and written, accounted for most instances of racism. ICI chief executive Denise Charlton said the figures were “alarming and once again show racism is a reality which people and families are facing in their communities”. She added: “While the findings are preliminary and we will produce more details in the new year, they are nevertheless stark. People have been made victims in their own homes, at work, on the street and increasingly online.” Racism is just getting worse, even abroad. SMH.

Hate Crimes: White College Students Popped For Bullying Black Classmate By Putting Bike Lock Around His Neck

Ridiculous White College Students Charged For Bullying Black Classmate A group of racist college students from San Jose State University in California will face misdemeanor battery charges after police discovered that they bullied a younger black student for three months in an apparent hate crime. via ABC News A black college freshman in California who was allegedly subjected to racially-charged torment by his three white suitemates is described as a “mild-mannered, sweet kid” who was physically afraid of his roommates and what they would do if he reported the abuse.

The three suspects, Logan Beaschler and Colin Warren, both 18, and Joseph Bomgardner, 19, have been suspended pending an investigation and are being charged with a misdemeanor hate crime and battery, police said. They have not yet entered a plea. A fourth unnamed student was also suspended from the school in connection with the incidents, the school said late Friday.

Hate Crimes: 16-Year-Old Boy Charged As Adult After Setting Gay Classmate’s Skirt On Fire & Severely Burning His Legs

Meanwhile, his mother says: “He was just joking around.” SMH. Teen Boy Charged As Adult For Setting Gay Classmate On Fire A teenage tyrant from Oakland will face adult-level assault charges after he set his classmate’s skirt on fire, resulting in severe leg burns in what police have now deemed a hate-crime attack. via San Francisco Chronicle Prosecutors filed hate-crime charges against a 16-year-old boy Thursday, saying he set aflame the skirt of a teenage gender-identity activist while the victim was asleep on a bus in Oakland, then admitted to police that he had started the fire because he was “h*moph*bic.” Richard Thomas of Oakland was charged as an adult with aggravated mayhem, assault and hate-crime enhancements in connection with Monday’s attack on Luke Fleischman, 18, whose legs were severely burned. After Thomas made a brief afternoon appearance in an Oakland courtroom, where he did not enter a plea, his mother apologized and expressed sympathy for Fleischman. She said her son regretted his actions and wanted to write an apology letter to Fleischman. “My son is not a hateful person,” said Thomas’ mother, who would identify herself only as Ms. Jackson. “He’s not homophobic. He’s a kid. Kids joke around. I think he will learn his lesson. He’s very remorseful. I’m sorry for it.” Fleischman, an Oakland resident who attends Maybeck High School in Berkeley, goes by the name Sasha. The teenager was born male but has declined in the past to identify as male or female, instead preferring the term “genderqu*er.” How in the world is setting another person on fire “joking around??” They need to lock this boys’ mother up right along with him if that’s really how she feels. Just ridiculous! Shutterstock Continue reading
