Draw your own conclusions
Does anyone remember Detective
Melvin Santiago? He was a Jersey City police officer who was shot to death
just a month ago, on July
13th. Santiago was
white. His killer, Lawrence Campbell, was black. Does anyone recall
Obama appearing before national television and calling for justice for Officer
Santiagos family? Does anyone recall Eric Holder rushing to Jersey City to
see that justice was done?
How about Officer Jeffrey
Westerfield. He was a Gary, Indiana police officer who was shot to death
last month on July 6th. Westerfield was white. His killer, Carl
LeEllis Blount, Jr. was black. Where was Obama? Where was Holder?
Or Officer Perry Renn? He
was an Indianapolis, Indiana police officer who was shot to death just last
month on July 5th, the day before Officer Westerfield was killed. Officer Renn
was white. His killer, Major Davis, was black. I don't recall any
mention by Obama about the untimely death of Officer Renn. And, I doubt that
Eric Holder rushed to Indianapolis to make sure justice was done. Or,
maybe I just missed it.
Vermillion Parish Deputy
Sheriff Allen Bares was gunned down by two men just last June 23rd in
Louisiana. Deputy Bares was white. His two killers, Quintlan Richard
and Baylon Taylor, were black. Was Obama outraged? Did Eric Holder rush to
Louisiana to make sure that the family of Deputy Bares found justice?
Detective Charles Dinwiddie of
the Killeen Police Department was murdered by Marvin Lewis Guy, a black
male. Officer Dinwiddie was white. This happened on May 11th, just over
two months ago. I don’t even recall seeing anything about that on the
news. Certainly, the white citizens in Killeen didn't take to the streets
to loot and burn businesses. Again, I don't recall any mention by Obama or
Holder.
Then, there is Officer Kevin
Jordan of the Griffin, Georgia Police Department. He was gunned down just
two months ago on May 31st. Officer Jordan was black. His killer,
Michael Bowman, was white. This was a white man murdering a black police
officer. Where was Jesse Jackson? Where was "The Reverend" Al
Sharpton? Was there looting and burning on the streets of Griffin,
Georgia? No. In fact, I don't recall hearing about this one in the
news, as well. Why?
You can draw your own
conclusions.
Over the past 60 days, there
have been five reported deaths of police officers by gunshot in the US. Of
those, four were white officers who were murdered by black men. Blacks
complain that white officers threaten black men more aggressively on the
street. These statistics speak for themselves.
There were funeral services for
each of these fallen officers. Were they attended by members of the White
House Staff. No! Why? You can draw your own conclusions on
that one, as well.
