Do black lives matter in Albany NY?
For a moment last week I thought my home town of Albany, the New York state capital, would start getting national attention. The first signs were there; as I passed City Hall last Thursday night several dozen people were holding a protest vigil and "Black Lives Matter" signs were out. The night before, a former high school basketball star with a history of mental issues died of a heart attack shortly after being tazed by police under circumstances that remain largely unknown. There hasn't been any real follow-up to the Thursday vigil, however, and local civil-rights activists, who have a good relationship with municipal government compared to Ferguson MO, have appealed for calm and good faith. There's reason for both if you assume that a resort to tasers meant that no one meant to kill the man. Much will depend on what we learn about why police confronted the doomed man, who reportedly sealed his fate by becoming "combative." The worst-case scenario for the cops or from a civic-peace perspective would be if the man appears to have been profiled or if the incident proves to have been a case of petty "broken windows" style policing. But for the moment no one in Albany appears eager to rush to that conclusion. Nevertheless, many will want the cops to show very good reason for confronting the man and precipitating his demise, and this wouldn't be an unreasonable request. Based on what we know now, the incident proves that nearly any existing technique for "stopping" a suspect comes with serious risks to the suspect. From one perspective, people who resist arrest implicitly accept that risk and certainly must share in the responsibility for any bad outcome they suffer. From another, this episode only further underscores the urgent necessity for techniques and training that minimize the risk of death for suspects from those who are neither judges, jurors or executioners yet are empowered to stop crime. If critics of police appear to downplay the personal responsibility of those who recently have died "tragically," it's because they're careful about assigning responsibility to the dead when cops really aren't supposed to kill. Albanians may show a more forgiving attitude under more arguably "tragic" circumstances, but a dead suspect still means that something went wrong with the suspect and the police, both of whom are accountable to all of us.

Apparently they do in Charlotte, SC. Ironically enough...
The idea that Black Lives Matter More Than Innocent Lives Matter was invented to prevent civilized people (e.g. officer Daren Wilson and eyewitness George Zimmerman) from killing violent black thugs (e.g. Accomplished-Robber Michael Brown, and Accomplished-Burglar Trayvon Martin) even when the circumstances and the Law permits and requires such black thugs to be shot and killed. The BLM movement is inseparable from the deviant theory that the lives of violent Black criminals Matter more than the Lives of innocent people. The true meaning of the BLM assertion is defined by the conduct of Michael Brown while and after he robbed the store that was later looted and burned in his memory. Brown and his thief-buddy Dorian Johnson committed robbery in broad daylight with no mask or disguise obviously with the expectation that the criminally deviant black "community" would enforce the "Snitches Get Stitches" rule already written large on a brick wall in that community. Indeed even the store owners were too afraid to call the police to report Michael Brown's crime. Michael Brown walking down the middle of the street after committing robbery without any disguise is further evidence of a depraved black community and of his megalomaniacal belief of his physical superiority and of his invulnerability. Such EgoMania and Depravity as was manifested by Michael Brown induced him to attack and attempt to overpower a police officer and to steal the officer's gun. MICHAEL BROWN WAS EVIL AND HIS FACE CONTORTED INTO THE IMAGE OF A "DEMON". The death of Michael Brown was obviously the execution of the Will of GOD by a Minster of God on Earth righteously weilding the Power of The Sword. Every being that contends that Black Lives Matter More Than Innocent Lives Matter is an accomplice to crime and to felony murder and is an abomination in the eyes of civilized people of all skin tones.
Thug - burglar Trayvon Martin was attempting to murder an eye-witness using a Concrete slab to break open his head at the time he was shot and killed. A jury found Trayvon Martin guilty of attacking Zimmerman without provokation and guilty of attempted murder.
The entire idea of the NAACP and BLM (really the Black Liberation Movement) that black criminals should have a skin-based privilege to commit crime without opposition (to case homes and plan burglary without being watched or followed eyewitnesses like George Zimmerman) or threat of resistance by white victims or arrest by white victims, is a subversive racist scheme. The IDEA that Michael Brown is privileged by his skin color to rob a store and shove and threaten the store owner is an abomination. The BLM IDEA that school police created for the specific purpose of preventing black jouvenile crime were tampering with official reports to reduce the official number of black criminals in the district's statistics, leaving accomplished-thief Trayvon Martin free and at large to case homes at night and to plan his next crime, is an abomination. The fact that Trayvon Martin was not punished for criminal possession of stolen property and Burglar tools was the direct cause of his subsequent attempt to murder eyewitness George Zimmerman, and of Zimmerman's decision not to be murdered by Trayvon Martin.
Black thug-robber Michael Brown also acted with apparent intent to murder a white man (Daren Wilson) at the time he was shot. The BLM IDEA that Michael Brown should be privileged to walk down the middle of the street after robbing a store (without even wearing a mask or disguise) without fear of being arrested or shot is an abomination.

The fact that our LAW has always favored the lives of innocent people over the the lives of robbers, burglars, murderers and arsonists makes the Idea of BLM a false and subversive assrtion. Innocent Lives Matter. If the only reason not to shoot a robber-murderers named Michael Brown is the fact that he has black skin, then reason and morality requires that black skin privilege must be rejected according to the same rule that allows white robber-murderers to be killed. If black skin is the only reason not to shoot black arsonists while they are lighting molotov coctails and are setting fire to buildings, then reason and morality requires that black skin privilege be rejected. Those rulers who enforce a claim of black skin privilege are violating their Oath of Office and denying Equal Protection of the Law to the victims of black criminals.
The fact that Obama and other Democrat Tyrants favor the lives of Black criminals over the lives of innocent citizens was proved by the decision of Obama and MO Governor Nixon to order the National Guard to allow black arsonists to loot and set fire to stores in Ferguson, MO even with innocent people inside of the stores. The omission of Obama and Governor Nixon and Baltimore's Mayor to kill Black Burglars and Black Arsonists is toleration of terrorism against the civilized white and black population. Black Lives Matter leaders have explicitly adopted a "Burn Everything Down" bylaw to enforce the rule that Black criminals' Lives Matter More Than Innocent Lives and Property. Educated Supporters of BLM have explicitly condoned looting and arson as a means to enforce the deviant premise that Black criminals' Lives Matter More Than Innocent Lives. Thus, BLM is a self-confirmed and openly admitted terrorist organization and everyone who endorses or supports BLM is supporting terrorism and should be condemned accordingly. Every civilized person of every skin color within hearing range of the words "Black Lives Matter" has a moral duty and a legal right to arm themselves and to arm other civilized people in preparation to KILL BLACK ROBBERS, BLACK BURGLARS, BLACK MURDERERS AND BLACK ARSONISTS, and their accomplices in flagrante, without hesitation or moral uncertainty. The proposed rule that the Lives of Black criminals Matter more than the lives of innocent people is comparable to the theories that brought and kept Adolf Hitler in power, especially after he declared that his master-race supporters would be allowed to commit crimes without arrest or punishment. Hitler also caused the local Police to be attacked and nullified in furtherance of the theory that Brownshirt Lives Matter More Than Innocent Lives. Black has now suddenly become a distinct Nationality in America and it's nation status and it's superiority to "white" civilization and law is openly endorsed by the Socialists of America. BLM leaders have explicitly declared a legalistic premise for looting and arson by BLM thugs agains "white" people. Therefore, BLM is in all material respects the American equivalent of Hitler's National Socialist (NAZI) organization. The burning of Ferguson and Baltimore and the ineffectiveness of the Democrat state governments there to suppress that foreseen crime, and the history of Hitler's NAZIs in Germany clearly shows the urgent necessity of civilized people of all skin tones to arm themselves in preparation to kill America's Black NAZI arsonists burglars robbers and murderers and accomplices in flagrante at every lawful opportunity.
Anon of Nov. 2: What has all this to do with the late Dontae Ivy of Albany NY? Once you figure that out, could you also inform me when and where any representative of the NAACP asserted a black privilege to "commit crimes without opposition?" Or do you simply infer that from their opinion that Brown, Martin, et al did not need to be killed?
