28-year-old Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley from Baltimore shot his girlfriend this past Saturday before killing 2 police officers in Brooklyn, ultimately turning the gun on himself.
Brinsley was seeking revenge for the death of Eric Garner, who died from a chokehold at the hands of police. Widespread protests ensued after a grand jury didn’t indict the officer who choked Garner.
@ LEKIETA SMITH; I AGREE WITH YOU ON SOME OF WHAT YOU SAID IN YOUR POST. “SOME” POLICE ARE BULLIES PUTTING THEIR BADGE ON FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! AND ERIC, SELLING THE CIGARETTES, SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED, EVEN THOUGH HE RESISTED ARREST, BY THE ONE OFFICER USING THE CHOKE HOLD WHICH WAS HAD BEEN A DISCONTINUED METHOD FOR THE VERY REASON THAT RESULTED IN IT’S USE ON ERIC IN NEW YORK! THAT ONE OFFICER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO ANSWER FOR THAT! THE REST WERE JUST DOING THEIR JOB AS INSTRUCTED, EVEN THOUGH I THINK IT WAS UNNECESSARY! I HAVE LIVED IN AREAS WHERE “SOME”COPS WERE TOTALLY IN THE WRONG IN DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH ANY OF IT, AND NOT JUST AGAINST THE BLACK COMMUNITY ALONE! THEY DID THESE THINGS TO PEOPLE OF ALL COLOR, INCLUDING WHITE! TO THOSE OFFICERS, THE ONLY COLOR THAT MEANT ANYTHING TO THEM, WAS BLUE AGAINST EVERYONE ELSE! BUT THE BAD COPS ARE ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF ALL THE POLICE NATIONWIDE, THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT MORE WHO ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS! SOME PEOPLE THOUGH, ONLY SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, AND FAIL TO UNDERSTAND “ANYTHING” ABOUT THE LAW! IN A LOT OF CASES, SOME PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN SITUATIONS WORSE BY NOT COOPERATING WITH THE POLICE, GETTING TOO MOUTHY WITH THEM, RESISTING ARREST, ASSAULTING & FIGHTING THE OFFICERS, OR WORSE! TURNING A SIMPLE SITUATION INTO SOMETHING FAR WORSE THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE! NO MATTER ANYONE’S RACE, ACTING LIKE THUGS AND CHALLENGING OR FIGHTING THE POLICE NEVER ENDS WELL FOR ANYONE! NOW AS FOR THE SLAVE TRADE YOU MENTION, EVERY RACE THAT HAS EVER EXISTED ON THIS PLANET, (INCLUDING WHITE), HAS HAD THEIR TURN AT BEING MADE SLAVES! SOME OF ALL RACES, STILL ARE SUFFERING SLAVERY ALL AROUND THE WORLD! AND THE ONE’S MOSTLY COMMITTING OTHERS TO SLAVERY ARE THOSE OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH! AND OBAMA, HE IS A MAJOR PART OF THE PROBLEMS WE AMERICANS ARE HAVING! HE MAY HAVE PROVIDED A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF JOBS, BUT THAT REALLY DOESN’T ADD UP FOR MUCH OF ANYTHING, WHEN HE HAS KILLED OFF FAR MORE JOBS AND BUSINESSES THAN HE COULD EVER HOPE TO CREATE! YOU MAY NOT WANT TO SEE THAT, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH! OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES IN THE GOVERNMENT, HAVE COMMITTED SO MANY TRESPASSES AND BROKEN SO MANY LAWS AGAINST OUR NATION, IF THEY ALL EVER SEE THE INSIDE OF A COURTROOM AND GET CHARGED FOR THEM ALL, THEY COULD VERY WELL END UP IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, AND THEY SHOULD! EVERYONE IN EVERY COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE SAFE, AND ABLE TO HAVE DECENT JOBS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES! EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE THEY WANT AND FEEL SAFE IN DOING SO! OUR SECURITY IN OUR NATION HAS NEVER SUCKED SO BADLY AS IT HAS SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE, IT’S THE WORST IN HISTORY! ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, CRIMINALS, AND TERRORISTS CROSS OUR BORDERS EVERY SINGLE DAY, PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AT WILL NUMEROUS TIMES, HAVE EVEN INVITED THEM SELVES TO WHITE HOUSE FUNCTIONS UNINVITED! AND YES, OBAMA IS CAUSING OUR NATION TO GO BANKRUPT, HE HAS OUTSPENT MORE THAN ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS ON FRIVOLOUS NONSENSE, LOSER BAILOUTS, AND AID FOR THE ENEMY TERRORISTS WHO ARE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE, OUR ALLIES, AND BEHEADING HOSTAGES! THE LIST GOES ON AND ON! IT WOULD BE EASIER JUST TO LIST WEBSITE LINKS WHERE YOU CAN GO TO THEM AND READ THE TRUTH, & SEE THE VIDEOS FOR YOUR SELF! SEE THE WORLD FOR HOW IT REALLY IS AND NOT JUST WHAT YOU WANT OR ARE MORE WILLING TO SEE! LOOK BEYOND THE BIASED BS, THE RACE BAITERS LIKE AL SHARPTON WHO JUST WANT TO EXPLOIT ANY SITUATION THEY CAN, JUST TO GET MORE MONEY AND CAMERA TIME, TO STIR UP VIOLENCE AND HATE WHEN IT WAS ALMOST GONE AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.s DREAM WAS ABOUT TO BE ACCOMPLISHED! THINGS NEED TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER FOR EVERYONE, BUT HIDING HEADS IN THE SAND AND REFUSING TO SEE THE TRUTH FOR WHAT IT IS, NOR EVEN MAKING THE EFFORT ISN’T GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
cops lives matter
You are an idiot!
Sharpten sucks
Bull….it was just an excuse to kill cops
Sad.
NO!! It has nothing to do with Eric Garner!! Has a lot to do with Al Sharpton and the President though!! I think Eric Garner was murdered, but that doesn’t mean all cops are bad!! doesn’t mean that his family would ever want something like this to happen!! They don’t seek refenge!!!
Scumbag coward!
And he shot his girlfriends first, why? I hope New York has the death penalty.
Sharpton should be prosecuted
