Yes but read the tweet. If you don't know 150-300 armed white men have taken over a building and it's being called a peaceful protest. Imagine if that was a number of black or muslim men.

...wow, I didn't know about the 'smear campaign' against Tamir's mum, it really does leave you speechless as to the corruption of some of the judicial systems...I would like to think that this is just the start of it all and that prosecutions could follow as well.../justice at last...

..and yes, final and ultimate accountability of those responsible is something to hope for...with all of the 'legal brains' as it were in the USA, you would think that it wouldn't be that hard to find the loopholes needed...

Yes I hope this shows change is possible. We must also praise the role of BLM in getting rid of Alvarez. Good for them to be linked with some positive headlines.

That's got nothing to do with the topic at hand but okay, a BBC3 documentary is certainly comparable to a siege.

..yeah I agree, it doesn't get reported enough I don't think..all of the positive things and changes that Black Lives Matter actively do and work so hard for and is sadly more focused on protests etc, which often get responses of being dismissed with 'all lives matter though'/rolleyes, type thing....quite a negative portrayal by the media, which actually just helps encourage racism even more.../crazy...

The Police will never get into trouble in any country if they do something wrong sadly.

The only way to get the American Government to fix The Police is if they harm the Government in some way? Otherwise forget it as the Governments in all countries are too selfish to fix anything that is going wrong in the country for the majority of it's people.

Cleveland agrees to pay Tamir Rice family $6m over police shooting

LINK

Excellent news :clap1:

Crimson Dynamo 26-04-2016 03:08 PM

“There is no admission of wrongdoing,” the court filing states.

“We can only hope the Rice family and their attorneys will use a portion of this settlement to help educate the youth of Cleveland in the dangers associated with the mishandling of both real and facsimile firearms,” Stephen Loomis, the president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, said in a statement.

:clap1:

The fact they paid out at all is an unofficial admission of guilt. You don't hand out that kind of cash when you aren't in the wrong.

But yay, the murderers of an innocent child have gotten away scot free! :clap1:
