The drains have backed up again

A sting in the tale

Five black police officers are under investigation for the death of a black motorist in Memphis, TN. Race agitator, Rev. Al Sharpton, claimed: I do not believe these five black police officers would have done this had he been a young white man.

And if he were and they had, you wouldn't be making any noise, would you reverend? After all, only black lives matter. (rolleyes)

Ironically, the officers were part of a special team to police high-crime areas, named SCORPION: Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods. As tensions in Memphis rise, that's not going to age well.


And now SCORPION has had its stinger removed.

At the same time, the death of a black man at the hands of five others is, according to one local imbecile, because All cops uphold white supremacy. So, despite the police chief and two thirds of the city's population being black, it's the white man's fault. Because of course it is! (rolleyes)

All of this is so predictable. Almost as predictable as the world's most trusted international news broadcaster™'s stealth revisions. In this case, the man of god's words that I quoted earlier are now MIA!

Fortunately, the Wayback Machine has got my back. And this post is additionally tagged accordingly.


Now all becomes clear. At least one of the officers who first stopped Tyre Nichols is white. As is the most junior of the three emergency medical responders, who've all since been fired.*

So it is the white man's fault, and the local imbecile was right after all. All the black people involved were simply acting without agency. (rolleyes)
