Truth Revolt -- Former NBA great and TV analyst Charles Barkley has doubled-down on his previous remarks about the Ferguson rioters. In an interview with CNN Barkley said, "We as black people, we got a lot of crooks."
"There's a reason they racially profile us at times," he told CNN. "Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes its right."
Barkley recently called the rioters in Ferguson "scumbags" and he defended the acquittal of George Zimmermann in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Host Brooke Baldwin then challenged Barkley on the recent choke-hold death of Eric Garner in New York City and whether the altercation rises to the level of homicide. Barkley responded that what he saw on the video tape does not look like murder. "Well, I think the cops are trying to arrest him and they got a little aggressive. I think excessive force, uh, you know, or something like that, but to go right to 'murder'... Look, when the cops are trying to arrest you, if you fight back, things go wrong."
"Cops are awesome," he said.
Blog author's comments - Charles Barkley calls it as it is, to the chagrin of not only blacks but those of the toxic, left-wing media. Here is a guy who's not fearful of standing up to those bent on causing more divisiveness with blatant disregard for the truth. Charles, be vigilant, I'm sure the IRS and other Fed agencies will be receiving a memo from the White House.
If the black community truly cared about stopping what they perceive as an epidemic of police killing innocent young black men, a situation completely unsupported by facts, their first step would be to train the black men how to properly respond to a police officer's request. Shut-up, and do what you are told. At the same time, black leaders could be working with police to address how encounters with innocent black men could be improved.
They don't do this because they don't actually care about saving lives. They only care about getting to exploit for their own gain any situation where a black person is injured by a white person. Does anyone believe that if the police officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO after he was attacked by Brown was a black officer there would have been the protests and looting and burning of businesses in Ferguson and protests in many other states?
There are blacks who do teach their children to respect police officers, how to properly respond to a police officer's requests, and to not commit crimes, those people's children don't end up dead.
