Cops Successfully Disarm A White Person Without Killing Them - Supplemental 21/12/16

Jesse Williams: “We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people everyday.”


Seemingly Unprovoked White Woman Aims Laser-sighted Gun at Man in McDonald’s Parking Lot

A white Jacksonville, Florida, woman was arrested Friday, Dec. 16, after pointing a gun at a Black motorist and two McDonald’s employees.

The woman, identified as 55-year-old Mary Ulman, began harassing 47-year-old Charles Daniels over a parking space at a local McDonald’s restaurant at lunchtime.

Daniels was attempting to park, but he noticed that his car was a little crooked. So, he backed up enough to adjust his vehicle. And this is allegedly what set the woman off.

In an interview with News4Jax, Daniels said the woman began honking her horn at him and yelling racial slurs from her vehicle after he pulled into a space next to her. Then, after parking, Daniels walked in front of Ulman’s car while trying desperately to ignore her verbal harassment.

“She was racial slurs this and that, but my grandfather didn’t raise us that way, so I overlooked it,” Daniels says.

However, his attempt to take the high road was ignored. Daniels told police that he noticed Ulman pointing a gun at him and saw a red dot from a laser on his shoulder.

NOT ABOUT RACE? White Guy Stabs Wife and Child, Crashes Car Into Gas Pump, Causing Massive Explosion, Attacks Cop and STILL Isn’t Shot

This is all on video, so I never want anybody to say that a cop can’t take an unarmed black man alive.

How far will white privilege get you in this world?

Dramatic new video shows the Long Island man accused of killing his wife and injuring his daughter crashing into a car at a Brooklyn gas station — and then charging a police officer who had his gun drawn.

Robert Crumb, 44, allegedly stabbed his wife to death and wounded his 16-year-old daughter at their Bethpage home before driving away in blue Hyundai Sonata.

That Sonata is seen in the video, slamming into another car at the Citgo gas station at Flatlands and Pennsylvania avenues at around 1 a.m.

The car bursts into flames, and Crumb comes out with his hands up, as the pistol-wielding officer approaches.

He then runs after the cop, who is helped by other officers who subdue him.

We're All Hosed...

In New Trumpanistan, reality as we know it will cease to exist.

Failure will become greatness, corruption will be diplomacy, incompetence will become leadership, democracy will become corporatism. enemies made from friends, safety is paranoia,and the world only as we see it in our own minds.

Unless we have a plan to wrest power from the powerful and change collective interests from serving our masters to ourselves, the system as we know it will never serve us again.

First we all have to care and we have to see what's being done and who's doing it.

At this point, the system is being set up to collapse upon itself. When a single party is in power, who's going to rescue it from its own folly?

Our existence as an empire is slowly coming to an end, perhaps during our own lifetimes. All empires end, so why should we be any different?

Our greatness will be the largest self-made scrapheap ever seen in human history and we'll only have ourselves to blame.
