An RNC Speaker Said Cops Would Be 'Smart' to Racially Profile Her Own Son

https://www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/935me3/an-rnc-speaker-said-cops-would-be-smart-to-racially-profile-her-own-son?__twitter_impression=true

"Statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons," anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson said in a YouTube video earlier this year.


One of the Republican National Convention’s top speakers said in a recent video that it would be “smart” for a police officer to racially profile her biracial son, because “statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons.”

“I recognize that I’m gonna have to have a different conversation with Jude than I do with my brown-haired little Irish, very, very pale-skinned, white sons, as they grow up,” Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion activist, said in a 15-plus-minutes video posted to YouTube in late June, after weeks of nationwide protests against the police killing of George Floyd.

“Right now, Jude is an adorable, perpetually tan-looking little brown boy,” said Johnson, whose husband blogged, in 2015, about adopting their biracial son at his birth. Johnson is white. “But one day, he’s going to grow up and he’s going to be a tall, probably sort of large, intimidating-looking-maybe brown man. And my other boys are probably gonna look like nerdy white guys.”

But the fact that the police could one day view her sons differently, simply due to the color of their skin, doesn’t make Johnson mad, she said. Instead, it makes sense to her.

Sometimes I do not get the intentions of these claims. How to make sure that everybody treats each other as equal. Can that be really forced?
How can one undo the stereotypical thinking of blacks , those Born in America, legally migrated to America, those in Africa , those in very poor african villages in africa, those in very poor countries like Chad, those in the villages in very poor countries etc?
Mark you its only black examples.

The DoJ has asked for data about covid19 deaths in states where governors ordered nursing homes to admit covid19 positive patients.



The Justice Department (DOJ) on
Wednesday requested data from four
governors on their orders requiring
nursing homes to admit coronavirus
patients.
“Protecting the rights of some of
society’s most vulnerable members,
including elderly nursing home
residents, is one of our country’s most
important obligations,” Assistant
Attorney General for Civil Rights
Division Eric Dreiband said in a
statement.
“We must ensure they are adequately
cared for with dignity and respect and
not unnecessarily put at risk.”

The department requested data from
Govs. (D) of New York,
Phil Murphy (D) of New Jersey,
(D) of Pennsylvania and
(D) of Michigan.

But the fact of the matter is that the RNC got less ratings than the DNC's first night.

The victim and the police officers went around the car before he entered the car and got shot.

Now, why wasnt the victim subdued before they went round the car? What happened to tasers?

Why are American cops and gun owners just so silly when it comes to common sense.

In the uk, even if you are with a knife, the police wont shoot.
Funny how some are not seeing the irony and impracticabilty of the procedure I outlined for police to arrest an entitled possibly violent suspect.
Even shrinks can't tell the next move. Just like Clinton could not tell Benghazi was a planned attack despite all warnings before. She said the situation was so fluid, that she thought the attack was spontaneous.

It is very painful when you see black people justifying the death of a fellow black man who was by all accounts WRONGFULLY MURDERED.

These kind of excuses and justifications are what white people will give to justify their unconscious racial bias, but when you see your fellow black man giving these kind of excuses, you weep for the persons stupidity.

A man was walking away from the cop towards his car and a poorly trained cop unleashes SEVEN bullets upon the man killing him instantly on the spot IN FRONT OF his children, and your first instinct is to buy into the white racists' justification that he MAY have been reaching for his gun or a weapon, you go further to bring up his past to somehow justify his murder.

How can some black people be soo stupid because of politics??
Where is your empathy? Where is your sense of sympathy for his children who have now lost their father unnecessarily?
Have you thought of the trauma those children will have to live with for the rest of their lives having directly witnessed this?

Do you know how many times and for how long black people have lost their lives unnecessarily in the hands of whiteman there? Do you really think that the millions of people all over the world who truly defend the words BLACK LIVES MATTER are foolish?

Any black person who will defend the murder of a fellow black man is very stupid.
There is no justification in killing a blek man.
Is it justified to overblow a situation, ignore exculpatory evidence then where it exists

I posted the wrong video of an investigative film maker who found out that
Trayvon Martin girlfriend who appeared as a witness was an imposter . Trayvon Martin gal, Diamond Eugene was on phone with him moments before....
The famous black lawyer Benjamin Crump who appears everywhere a black is killed by a white dragged an autistic relative of Diamond, Rachel Jaentel to the stand, a case of judicial fraud , normal to democrats it seems.
George Zimmerman had been released but Obama and Sharpton piled in leading to his trial. And dont forget the riots and destruction that followed.
The media, the likes of CNN gaslit this case and have never revealed to its ardent visceral viewers of this gigantic hoax.
Here is the video. A bit long.

If your first instinct is to fire 7 bullet into the back of anyone that reaches for a wallet or a car, then maybe that person should not be a cop after all.
There are cases where narrative is created to achieve some leftist agenda when it comes to police.
Video about Obama son Trayvon Martin. The lawyer brought a fake witness to court posing as his girlfriend that he was on phone moments before.

And how do you just know he has a gun, or he poses a deadly threat to the policemen or is it police men and woman.
You are just making assumptions. Anyway, the court will decide. I am not a lawyer neither do I claim to be one.

Hopefully, you won't be in a situation where FSARs would have to shoot 7 times in front of your kids (if you have) as you reach for maybe a wallet in your car.
I mentioned above that incase a suspect is not following orders , its better to equip all cops with bulletproof transparent shields . This will reduce casualty incidences of
a) Suspects who are just plain disobedient OR
b) Police making a wrong judgement.

Everything should be done to avoid making BLM antifa mad

It makes sense to equip the police with bulletproof transparent shields to protect them when a suspect fires at them. Once the confirm they been fired on with a live bullet, they can then engage the suspect
More so if the cops are white and the suspect is black..

And the only way of disarming him even if he is reaching for a weapon (has not been proved yet) is to shoot him in the back 7 times?
Its always said the best n perfect footballers are spectators.They are also the best coaches.

The police should have waited for him to open his car door, get his gun or guns out, waited for him to point the gun at them, actually pull the trigger to confirm the gun had ammo before shooting him.

In every group, there are criminal elements.
By all means I agree with you.

If one is asked to 'hands up' but does not obey and tries to pocket his hands, the police should wait (esp if he is black) for the suspect to get his gun out and shoot first, before police shoot.

obstructing justice and voting multiple
times in federal elections in
Philadelphia.
Myers was the second official charged
in the scheme.
Domenick DeMuro, a Democratic ward
chairman in that city, admitted in a
plea deal that he had "fraudulently
stuffed the ballot box by literally
standing in a voting booth and voting
over and over, as fast as he could,
while he thought the coast was clear,"
ptoecutors said.
DeMuro allegedly had a network of
clients who paid him significant sums
of money to rig elections over several
years.
New Jersey mail-in ballot scheme
exposed
Four New Jersey residents, including
one city council member and one city
councilmen-elect in Patterson, N.J.,
were charged last month in what state
officials was a mail-in ballot fraud
scheme. The four were charged with
multiple crimes including voting fraud,
tampering with public records and
unauthorized possession of multiple
vote-by-mail ballots.
West Virginia mail carrier nabbed in
mail-in ballot scheme
A mail carrier in Pendleton County,
W.V., recently admitted to
investigators that he altered mail-in
voting ballot documents. The U.S.
Attorney's Office of the Northern
District of West Virginia said in a press
release in June that it was charging
Thomas Cooper, a worker with the U.S.
Postal Service, with "attempted
election fraud."
An affidavit supplied by that office to
Just the News states the Pendleton
County Clerk received several absentee
mail-in ballot requests "in which the
voter’s party-ballot request appeared
to have been altered by use of a black-
ink pen." On five of the requests, "it
appeared that the voters ballot choice
was changed from Democrat to
Republican
California voter fraud conviction
exposes Skid Row scheme
In February, 62-year-old Norman Hall

Illinois let non-citizens register to vote
in blunder
In January, Illinois Secretary of State
Jesse White disclosed in a letter to the
Legislature that a “programming
error” in a signature pad at driver
services facilities led to 574 non-U.S.
citizens accidentally being registered
as voters. At least one, and perhaps as
many as 15, non-citizens may have
voted in the 2018 election. White’s
office says the problem has been fixed.
“We view it as a significant problem,”
Matt Dietrich of the Illinois State Board
Of Elections said at the time.
Alabama Absentee Fraud
In 2019, former Gordon, Ala., Mayor
Elbert Melton was convicted
of absentee ballot fraud in a mayoral

Melton was sentenced recently to one
year in prison and two years of
probation after his conviction on
charges of absentee ballot fraud and
second-degree theft of property.

Wisconsin county supervisor admits to
ballot fraud
Former Milwaukee County Supervisor
Peggy West, 47, pleaded guilty in 2018
to election fraud for falsifying

names appear on West's nomination
petition told a detective they never
signed. Two even said the printed
name next to their bogus signatures
were not spelled correctly.
Absentee Ballot Theft in Florida

them. Warren eventually pled no
contest to two charges of false
swearing in connection with voting.
Wife of mayoral candidate nabbed in
New Mexico
In 2018, New Mexico authorities

ballots; her husband Robert won the
race by two votes.
Indiana cop convicted of voter fraud to
help father win race
In 2016, Indiana police officer Lowell
Colen was convicted of absentee ballot
fraud in an attempt to help his father
win a city council election. Colen

counts of voter fraud, with prosecutors
claiming he filled out false
registrations and forged numerous
signatures.
Double voting in Arizona
Last month, Randy Allen Jumper
pleaded guilty in Arizona to attempting
to vote in two states during the 2016
general election: Arizona and Nevada.
He was also charged with falsely
signing a statement vowing not to vote
in the general election anywhere but
Arizona.
Arizona officials said at the time of his
plea they have brough about 20 cases
of voter fraud in the last decade
against people who tried to vote in two
states in the same elections.

Brennan interviewed in Durham probe, told he’s not a ‘target,' aide claims

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/brennan-interviewed-in-durham-probe-told-hes-not-a-target-in-russia-probe-review-aide-claims

John Brennan was interviewed Friday by U.S. Attorney John Durham as part of the review of any misconduct related to the origins of the Russia probe, but the former CIA director was assured he’s not a target in the investigation, a Brennan spokesman said.

“Earlier today Brennan was informed by Mr. Durham that he is not a subject or a target of a criminal investigation and that he is only a witness to events that are under review,” said Nick Shapiro, a Brennan spokesman. “The interview was conducted at CIA headquarters and lasted eight hours.”


Nearly 2 months to the election date, we are still waiting for the 'Obamagate' that will put Obama and his officials in Guatanamo prison for life.

Or how dare Trump try to get company in Ukraine laundering EU n American aid to Hunter Biden get investigated? Democrats dont commit such crimes and should not be investigated.
