It’s on.

A full on race-war.

They’re counting on overt racist statements to charge up and inspire their base.

Blatant racism. Judicial ‘executions’ against people of color.

We’ve got to push back. Hard. This CAN NOT BE the ‘new normal’.

The NYPD officers who murdered Eric Garner are murderers. They might also be racists. They would do it again in a single breath. They don’t give a shit.

Not all police officers are goons, but police forces are magnets for goons, like the Catholic Church is a magnet for predators.

Garner died an hour after arriving at the hospital. The doctor who performed his autopsy ruled his death as a homicide caused by Pantaleo’s chokehold.

What part of homicide doesn’t Barr understand? He’s afraid of letting this go to court and it being decided fairly. Shame, shame once again on this contemptible piece of shit Attorney General.

But the GOP can’t be racist, because they are “the party of Lincoln” - says Min Leader McCarthy.

More like the party that keeps making Lincoln roll over in his grave.

But of course Barr dropped the charges. That is who he is. And his boss, too.
