Is It Too Late To Acknowledge How Lucky Rodney King Was?

     Hopefully you can hear the sarcasm in your mind as I write this piece on policing, but if you can't refer to the sixth word in this article every few seconds. Man, was Rodney King lucky or nah? The police did a great job by not killing him.

     If you don't know who Rodney King is, he was beat by LAPD on the street. He was one of the first viral police beatings. At a time when cell phones were for the ultra wealthy, the size of a brick, and Benzes came with car phones, Police brutality was a black issue, and no one would care because we were monsters in their mind. There's more to that story, but I expect you to perform your own research.

     But man Rodney King was lucky. All the cops did was beat him. It's not like they killed him. They Killed Mike Brown. They Killed Sean Bell. They Killed DJ Henry. They Killed Eric Garner. The Killed Oscar Grant.

     All they did was beat him. Like so many of my white friends say, "how can black people complain so much about police killings and police brutality, when they kill each other more than the cops do."

      Let me explain something to you uneducated, ignorant ass fools, whose mothers should've aborted your dumb ass, to avoid birthing something so ignorant, When you say something like the quote above you make yourself the stupidest person in the room, instantly. Even if no one can argue against your point, you're the stupidest person in the room. Don't like it, choke to death on a bullet coming out of a gun.

     Ok that was extreme, and it actually took me a day to get to this sentence from the previous paragraph's last sentence, but there's truth and hurt to what I'm saying. Rodney King wasn't lucky, but I bet his family was grateful he didn't die that night.

     The rate of black incarceration, the traffic stops, all of the interactions with the police are far more than most races. If a person is a statistician, they cannot ignore that. If a person is literal, they cannot ignore that. If you're the dumbest person on earth, you cannot ignore that. Black people are under attack and we cannot go to war without the army being the next wave of attacks. Without Hitler, Government has managed to implement a Hitler order on Black people and sold it to everyone.

     Think that's too far? Explain all of the facts without stuttering. Stop and Frisk. Use of Deadly Force. Castle Law. Stand Your Ground Law. Here's a story. States have been allowing people to Open Carry. Walmart sells firearms. Police were called and told a young black man had a gun pointed at people. They came and killed John Crawford. If you click the link, you'll see he was harmlessly shopping for a cookout. the gun (pellet gun) dangling back and forth pointed to the ground.

     Black People ain't making this up. I'm not making this up. You can't have an excuse every time these events happen. Eventually you have to take responsibility and say maybe we're too excessive and going too hard.
