05/15/2005: "Police brutality"

I'm not sure if I'm more shocked that the LAPD felt the need to shoot 120 or so rounds at an unarmed suspect last week, or the fact that only four hit the intended target.

Man, those protesters in LA are going to have a hard time of it now. I mean, "41 shots" is quick and easy to say to the NYPD, but "120 shots?"

That's just... too much, LAPD.

Man when are we going to put and end to all this bullshit? We have sat back way to long waiting for the NAACP to start talking. IN NO WAY AM I DOWNING THE NAACP. but we as individuals need to STAND UP AND TAKE our respect. we need to demand our respect and fair treatment. We should be protesting all over the country. I for one am SICK andFUCKING tired of this. ITS TIME. Time for us to take over what we need for our own survival. DAMMIT, How many blacks must die inVAIN before we do something? Even though no one died, it is outrageous. FUCK THE POLICE, ITS TIME WE UNLEASH ALL OF OUR pain, anger and fears on those who contribute to our destruction.
