Police Killing of Robert Brooks & the New York Correction Officer Strike

 

I've been busy but checking out the forum today. I was wondering if there were any mention of the recent murder of a Black man, Robert Brooks, in December 2024 by White Policemen caught on body cam that went viral. Some report the recent strike may have been sparked due to this murder. He was handcuffed. They kicked him, shoved something down his throat, and etc. and was going to throw him out the window. 

 

I don't understand how Black people can not see this for what it is. How can these kind of acts be defined as human beings dong this. Whether these kind of acts come from White racism or Black-on-Black violence, this is not acts committed by a human being, but some kind of demon. 

 

This video shows the pics of the policemen that killed Robert Brooks.

The entire time I was looking at the video and trying to imagine what the brother did to provoke such a vicious attack then the reporter said the attack was unprovoked?!

 

It makes no sense.

 

Are these the “race soldiers” @Pioneer1 is  always talking about?

Yep. The term Race soldier was coined by the recently departed Neely Fuller Jr.

 

Race soldiers are the law enforcement branch of white supremacy who far too often have gotten away with killing or injuring umarmed Black folks.😎
