Many by now have read about the shooting deaths of the four cops in Oakland by a Black man. Many have screamed and railed against his killing four cops; in the deafening silence is the lack of protesting of the hundreds of thousands of Blacks who have been slaughtered since pre-Civil War days and into the present 21ST Century, by police and allied law enforcement groups (extralegal lynch mob/posses given badges to legally murder so many innocent Black citizens.) Given the Gestapo/stormtrooper/occupied force mentality that many cops have been indoctrinated with against Black Americans, and the vicious brutality that has been committed by cops with the sanctioning of American society, cops—-the heretofore protectors of White Supremacy, white people, and whiteness—–it is understandable that a Black man would snap and kill cops. Doesn’t justify it. But, it is understandable, with the hells the police have visited upon the Black community for forever in this country that so hates blackness, but, just loves and worships whiteness. Just because they were cops does not make their life more valuable than the Black citizens whose lives they were supposedly sworn to protect and serve. But, everytime a cop (especially a White cop), is shot dead by a Black person, the whole nation screeches, bleats, and yelps about it. But, let many innocent Black citizens get slaughtered by a cop or cops (Black women, girls, boys and men), then there is nary a protest from so many non-Blacks. Oh, you may see a few non-Blacks rallying against this monstrous anti-Black country’s racist hate against Black citizens, but, often it is the Black citizens who fight against this wanton, wholesale destruction against Black people.
Many Americans care less about what cops do to Black citizens, as long as it remains over there in those. . . . .Black neighborhoods. As long as the violent, brutish behaviour of racist cops does not permeate or endanger the lives of Whites, no one but a few non-Blacks care, or have the backbone to understand why the Oakland shooting occurred and why it would occur. Then again, the chickens have a way of coming home to roost, and savagely peck out the eyes of those who refuse to learn and deal with the past.
On the otherhand, many people have run out of fingers, toes, hands, and feet in counting how many times the story of the Oakland shooter has been broadcast on the news and around the Internet.
As for the following story of these cop-killers, how many have read of or heard of their killings of cops?
Yeah, I guessed right.
Not many of you.
When Blacks kill cops (who have annihilated so many Black citizens for decades, centuries, and generations), you hear about it until you are 90 years old. “The Black shooter is a scumbag“, is the retort all across America. Never mind the many scumbag cops who have murdered so many Black citizens under color of authority. Never mind the many guilty cops who have got off with murder. Never mind the many so-called “good” cops who sit by and do nothing, say nothing, try nothing to root out the “bad” cops who work among them. Then again, maybe that is the mindset of the brotherhood of cops.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak of no evil, don’t do a damn thing about the evil that walks, lurks, and works amongst you.
But, when racist Aryan-nation White Supremacists kill cops, well . . .mums the word.
In the media.
On many blogs.
In daily life.
Those cops who are guilty and so gungho on hunting down and destroying Black lives, maybe they’d step back and take a bigger look at the picture and realize that their most deadliest foe is not the unarmed Black woman who is stopped for a traffic ticket and pulled out of the vehicle and beaten by some Black-woman-hating racist cop; not the hard-working Black man who is just trying to get home and not be stopped, detained, and have his vehicle torn up because he was racially-profiled as a drug courier; not the young Black teenager who has a beautiful new car that his parents scrimped and saved to give to him, only to have cops stop him because they thought he stole the car; not the young Black woman who is detained by cops for vagrancy (because she left her ID at home), because she was walking home from the bus stop late at night after getting off work, walking home with groceries in her arms, she is looked upon as a prostitute, since all of America believes that all Black women are promiscuous. (Isn’t that what White racists have been saying and lying about Black females, for centuries?) No. The enemy of cops is also the enemy of Black citizens: white supremacist racists who will stop at nothing to make their ideology the law of the land the way it was only a mere 40 years ago.
And why should one group (cops) receive more validation for their humanity, more respect, more cause for compassion and concern, than another group (Black citizens)?
Why must one group (cops) always be given the benefit of a doubt and their word taken as indisputable, but, when it comes to another group (Black citizens), they are less than human, have no rights that anyone, much less a cop, is bound to respect?
Then again, that’s the endemic devaluation that Black life has in America, and the high regard cops are given, even when they harbor amongst themselves, racist, murdering, monsters who use the badge and the gun to protect America’s materialistic, anti-human interests.
Cops, the hateful racist ones, are so hard-up on attacking Black citizens whose tax dollars pay their salaries. Tax dollars that clothe those cops. Tax dollars that put food in the guts of those racist cops. Tax dollars that are salaries for those cops to take care of their families.
Cops need to really be worried about, ferreting out, and shadowing the enemies who attack both Blacks and cops: racist WS Aryan-nation skinhead anti-American haters.
Oops, my bad.. . .
. . . .those groups of people have way more rights than Black citizens.
Oh, and unlike Black people, they are White. Never underestimate the protection and value of white skin, white skin privilege, and white skin value in the good ‘ol USA.
So silly of me to forget.

CARNAGE IN PITTSBURG: DEALIEST EXTREMIST ATTACKS ON COPS SINCE OKLAHOMA CITY
Ann
I’m from Pittsburgh PA and a friend of mines was Officer Kelly’s neighbor in Stanton Heights where the shooting took place and where Officer Kelly lived with his family. It’s just a sad thing to happen so close to home because I live only 10 minutes away. Pittsburgh is a good city to raise a family, live and work, but there is always rotten apples walking around. I heard abou the shooting that happended in Oakland, CA with the four officers being killed by a black man, but here is a white man who killed three police officers and all they did was shoot him in the leg, if that was a black man they would have shot him dead. I feel that even when a white person kill officers they are treated different than a black man. Wake up people it shoudn’t better what color that person is they should get the same!
Uhhhhhhhhhhh Oklahoma ?
“Uhhhhhhhhhhh Oklahoma ?”
“The last time more than two police officers were murdered by a far-right extremist was in Oklahoma City, when five officers died in the attack that killed a total of 168 people, according to Mark Pitcavage, director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League”.
