Pig Lets Cat Out of the Bag:
“But you’re not black. Remember? We only kill black people.”
September 4, 2017 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
In July 2016 a Cobb County, Georgia, cop stopped a car for an alleged DUI, and told a young white woman passenger to get out. She didn’t want to for fear of the police.
Cop: “Use your phone, it’s in your lap right there.”
Young woman: “I just don’t want to put my hands down. I’m really sorry. I’m just....I’ve just seen way too many videos of cops...”
Cop cuts her off: “But you’re not black. Remember? We only kill black people. Yeah, we only kill black people, right? All the videos you’ve seen, have you seen black people get killed? You have.”
When this video recently came out the police claimed the pig was lying. Police chief: “It shouldn’t have been said.” A police commissioner called it “repugnant and offensive beyond measure.”
BULLSHIT! The only thing this pig did “wrong” in his superiors’ eyes was let the cat out of the bag by blurting out some truth! The pigs do disproportionately target Black people—for “driving while black,” for harassment and abuse, for tasings and beatings, for arrest and imprisonment, and for murder. In 2016, an unarmed Black person was more than twice as likely to be murdered by police as an unarmed white person.
Why? Because these pigs are enforcers of a system that was founded on the enslavement of Black people and the genocide of Native Americans and remains based on white supremacy and the oppression of Black people, Latinos, and Native Americans, and other oppressed peoples to this day.
