Field Negro…Why we kneel

*People wonder why we totally support NFL players (and US soccer players) kneeling during the singing of the anthem.

Please watch the following video of an incident that happened in Phoenix, Arizona and tell me what you think of these out of control officers.

Video here.

Honestly, this type of thing is happening every day * all over America, and we are fortunate to get a glimpse of the way that some of these officers are behaving thanks to citizens with cell phone cameras.

Here is another one. [Video] This young man might be dead today if it weren’t for the woman who was filming the entire episode pleading with the police.

Folks in the majority population do not understand this, because unlike people of color, they are viewed as human beings by those in law enforcement. They can kill multiple people in a church and be calmly taken into custody. That’s just the way things are here in America.

“In her video, Holsey tells the officers that she is streaming the incident live. She told CBS News she felt it was her duty to do so. “I feel like we have nobody to stand up for us. So, in that moment, I had to stand up for him, for myself. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I didn’t intervene in some way.”

As more squad cars converged on the scene, Holsey asks the officers, “Is all that necessary?” She said by the end of the arrest, she saw at least seven cop cars arrive.

Holsey became upset and through tears pleaded with the officers: “I don’t understand why you all have guns drawn on him right now. Are you going to kill him?”‘ 

They just might have killed him Ms. Holsey. Thank goodness you were there to film it all.
