So what exactly is the definition of a Police State? Maybe its when officers in NY can frequently have accidental shootings of innocently unarmed Black males, even killing one of their own off duty Black officers. Maybe its when transit cops out in CA subdue a cooperative young Black male with force and then proceed to shoot this defenseless young man in the back "by accident" even though he begged not to be tazed (shot) and wasn't resisting. No, no, that's not it. I myself think its probably when officers raid a home with children in it and proceed to "accidentally" shoot a sleeping 7 year old girl because the leading officer "bumped" into her grandmother. There are so many things WRONG with this raid. My biggest question though, is who authorized these cops to use a flash grenade in a home with 3 young children (yes people they knew there were children in the home, f**king toys were outside in the yard). Now this 7 year old is lost to those who love her, and this officer is on PAID administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into the incident (I hope they set up the investigation into this better then they do their sting operations). Well, at least they apprehended the assailant; guess it was all worth it. 22 years ago, Spike told us to "WAAKE UUUUUUUUUUP!". Seems like we haven't even yawned and wiped the crust out of our eyes yet.
