White Civil Rights : The Website for Europeans and Americans Wherever They May Live

A BART police officer was recently convicted on manslaughter charges after he shot to death a Black after mistaking his Taser for a gun. Police recordings of the officer sound like he was genuinely distressed and that he claimed to have mistakenly fired his gun instead of the Taser from the start of this incident.

A Reuters article reports: “A white former transit police officer was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in a videotaped shooting death of an unarmed black man last year in Oakland, California, sparking a wave of looting and destruction in the city on Thursday. The verdict prompted a peaceful protest by up to 1,000 people in downtown Oakland, which gave way after nightfall to some people looting stores, smashing car windows, throwing powerful fireworks at police and lighting fires in trash cans. The police, numbering in the hundreds, made more than 50 arrests, but Oakland police expected that figure could double. ‘This city is not the wild, wild West,’ Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts told a televised news conference. ‘This city will not tolerate this activity.’ “

Actually, the old West was a comparatively peaceful and orderly place compared to the average American big city with a large Black population.

The article notes “A Los Angeles jury deliberated for about six hours over two days before reaching their decision about the shooting on a train platform in Oakland, indicating they deemed it a tragic accident rather than the intentional act of a rogue cop. The defendant in the racially charged trial, Johannes Mehserle, 28, testified that he mistakenly drew his gun instead of his electric Taser and shot Oscar Grant, 22, while trying to subdue him during a confrontation on New Year’s Day 2009.”

Police agencies all over the US decided to switch to Tasers that were shaped more like guns, than the traditional gray and black Tasers that police had used for many years. It’s not all that far-fetched that a police officer in the middle of a struggle might mistake a gun-shaped Taser for a normal gun. Notice that no one in the liberal media is pointing out that if the Black hadn’t been breaking the law in the first place, we would not be arguing about how much he was resisting arrest and the accidental shooting would not have taken place.

So this officer has to go to prison for an accident that stemmed from the criminal action of a Black? Oh, yeah, I forgot, the cop is White. Silly me.

Note that the White officer was not acquitted like the cops in the Rodney King case. That apparently made no difference to “duh brothas”. Blacks will take any excuse to riot and steal and this was as good as any.

Our Negro Attorney General Eric Holder—you know, the same Obama clone who is suing Arizona for enforcing immigration law and who refused to prosecute the Black Panthers for intimidating White voters with threats and clubs during the 2008 presidential election? Holder has announced an “investigation” preparatory to filing Civil Rights charges against the hapless White cop.

If the blacks are rioting over this one legal case, what will they do when finally the state of California goes bankrupt (like about any week now) and the welfare checks stop coming? What kind of riots, looting and civil unrest can we expect then?
