Benjamin: These Slave Patrols, in time of relative calm, when there were no slave revolts and such, would often spend their time harassing and beating slaves. They were defenders of white supremacy.”

Benjamin: These despicably dishonest officials want to railroad Walker on the false charge of attempted murder—after these police murdered his girlfriend Taylor. Doesn’t this show us just how perverse America’s so-called criminal “justice” system is?

The current crop of Democratic politicians running for the American Presidency is not much better than media in talking about the clear and ever-present danger of police racism and oppression. Those now running to unseat the vile racist reprobate Donald Trump are asking Black Americans to turn out and vote for them even though they refuse to fully commit to serving the interests of Black people. These candidates act as if hatred of Trump should be enough for African-Americans to vote for them.

These reckless police killings—and murders—of Black people continue with the silent complicity of politicians many of whom are now seeking Black America’s votes for the 2020 Elections while they do next to nothing to stop the bloodletting. Professional politicians remain largely deaf, dumb, and blind to these outrages. Most Black politicians exhibit their shameful cowardice with muzzled voices and are nowhere to be found on this issue.

We echo Allison Jean’s statement that the ‘corruption we saw during this process must stop,’ and support her request for a comprehensive federal investigation of the Dallas Police Department.”
