Ferguson comes to Savannah? Not likely, don't Mess with GA Cops

By Elizabeth Nelson

Between 75-100 people marched from the site of the shooting to metro’s Precinct 2 on Friday evening. They gathered in the parking lot of the precinct on East Lathrop Avenue, and Francys Johnson said the NAACP was monitoring the situation.

A helicopter circled overhead during the protest, as one had the night before. Metro police stopped traffic for the marchers on their way back to Augusta Avenue and Eagle Street, where the rally continued, but did not interfere. Some people who marched added their signs to a roadside memorial for Smith that had been set up on Augusta Avenue.

This is how civilized people in Savannah, Georgia express themselves, not with looting their own neighborhood.  What seems to be the issue now? Simple, we have another "Local-National"  white cop on "sweet, innocent black kid killing''', because it's always seems to boil down to race and not the criminal when it goes this way, involved shooting, right? Isn't it amazing that the MSM never publicizes the thug involved cop killings? Oh wait, I guess they don't kill these cops, with these mythical guns, when they get pulled over?

Purdiman said the initial investigation showed that when the officers placed Smith under arrest, he was handcuffed behind his back, and that the arrest was recorded on video. After 29-year-old Charles Smith was placed in the patrol car, Purdiman said, he somehow moved his hands to the front of his body and was able to kick out a window of the vehicle.

Officers told the GBI that as Smith tried to exit the patrol car, they saw he had a gun, Purdiman said.

“This encounter resulted in Smith being shot and killed,” Purdiman said.

Crime scene investigators found a gun under Smith’s body, he said.

The facts of this case are black and white and go beyond the issue that the cop is white and the criminal being black, those are just the irrelevant things we can see with our eyes, the facts of this case, as we know them right now are:

• This was all caught on video, unlike Ferguson
  
• 29-year-old Charles Smith was arrested on outstanding warrants only after he was eventually stopped for and had been charged with acquiring a license plate for concealing identity of a vehicle, failure to obey a traffic signal device, failure to stop at a stop sign, felony fleeing to elude, obstruction of officers, reckless driving and theft by receiving stolen property (auto)
  
• Smith got into the car with a gun in his possession
  
• Smith got his handcuffs from the back position to the front
  
• Smith kicked the window exited the Patrol Car
  
• Smith got out of the car with said gun and that is when Smith noticed the gun and Dee was shot and killed
  
• A gun was found under the body [so GSR should be found on the body and on the clothing]

Yet, suddenly, as was with the Brown shooting, this dead "young (29-years old is not an teenager people - he was a GROWN man) man," after the fact. had his entire life re-scripted and suddenly became a saintly black man postmortem, becoming a "nice, good, young man," despite the fact that he was arrested on outstanding warrants, in a stolen car, got out of the car via the broken window he busted out and was found with a gun on him, which even the investigator has said has happened before.  

As for Alicia Blakely, Sharpton's mouthpiece saying, "we want justice, we want answers, there are too many young African-American males dying in this country and it needs to stop."   Well, Ms. Blakely, were are these men's daddy's, why aren't we blaming them for these shootings and their "we won't be disrespected" thug behavior? Are you going to put this problem squarely at their door?  Oh, let's not take it from a "little white girl" take it from your President:

  

Even your savior Obama, also from a single parent - absentee father home -  did illicit drugs, smoked cigarettes and drank as a teenager.  Is this who you'd want as a role model? "Look mom, I don't need a daddy. I can break the law, drink, smoke and do drugs and still be President, Obama did it."

These bad behaviors are learned behaviors - they are learned at home, on the street, from our role models; who were these boys role models? Don't blame the cop, blame the parent, or lack of parenting, that raised them - or didn't raise them. I was a single mom for seven years, but I raised my son in the church, around Godly men, Godly influences and remained friends with his dad and his family. 

I guess, the only way we are going to stop thugs, white or black, from getting shot by police is for our police to take "sensitivity training."?  We need to make them more "sensitive" to the fact that, with no fathers in these homes, these are the "career paths" that these hood-rats have chosen and they will not be disrespected by anyone, and their stuff is there and our stuff is theirs, whether we like it or not?

Don't think a perp can't make it into the back of a cop car with a gun and the cop is lying? Really, you're that jaded about cops, even when there's a video proving the cop was justified?  Really? When it's happened in Austin, TX, which also wound up in a handcuffed shooting, or watch this perp, who wasn't even handcuffed, take his gun out of his pocket in the back of the cop car, put it on the floor, then back in his pocket. Both the cops in the car and the perp should all thank their lucky stars that no one was shot and that day. 

Moral of this story, we'll never see a national, local story of all the thugs that kill cops or if a black cop shoots a white kid with a dangerous cell phone, because this must be an acceptable shooting and answers and justice is not necessary. This is the reason why racial bias will never end in this country, I hope you're happy Obama and Jackson, Sharpton and Holder you crated this mess.  Sadly, we'll always blame the cops and never blame the true culprit, the absentee fathers.
