realdlhughley on Instagram: "“Protect and Serve”… more like Torture and Lynch AT WILL!! This is a perfect example of how corrupt the “American Justice” system is. The men that carried out these HEINOUS CRIMES are THUGS AND CRIMINALS with the legal authority to do so with impunity. @pushingblack On January 24th, Six YT officers in Braxton, Mississippi turned off their bodycams before illegally entering a home without a search warrant. A federal lawsuit reveals what happened. The officers claimed they were responding to a drug report, but when there were no drugs to be found, these cops didn’t stop. Instead, they proceeded to torture Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. They shocked them over and over with their tasers, beat them and kicked them. They waterboarded them. They even tried to rape the men with a sex toy. Throughout the night, they tried to force a fake confession out of the men, hurling racist slurs and accusing them of committing “racial violations” like dating YT women. They threatened to kill the men, holding their guns to their heads repeatedly. • At 11:40 PM, Deputy Hunter Elward placed his gun in Jenkins’ mouth and shot, shattering his jaw and irreparably damaging his tongue. He stumbled out of the house and fell to the ground and was just left there with no assistance for 20 minutes. Eventually, EMS showed up. Jenkins survived the life-threatening injuries, but his tongue had to be removed and he is now unable to speak. Both men are facing unspeakable trauma and will have a battle to find peace in their minds after being subjected to what can only be described as racial terrorism."

    Heavily implied? So you’re assuming that I’m making a generalization without actually having made said generalization?

      sigh

      Alright, what WAS I supposed to take from your post if not “minorities should arm themselves”?

      I will also note that you did not initially deny that you had been making such a recommendation.

        Why should I have to deny anything when I fully believe that this line of questioning was pulled out of thin air? I’ll note, that you did not simply ask if this is the generalization I was making and the these statements make very little sense.

        What part of “people not needing to purchase firearms because of hate and discrimination being ludicrous” is hard to get? Obviously, not everyone needs to have a firearm but to say to someone that things like racial discrimination are not reason to arm yourself is ludicrous.

        Shit, people will walk into an LGBTQ+ friendly club and start shooting.

          you are saying that discrimination is a reason to arm yourself. people are being discriminated against. therefore, you are saying people should arm themselves. what about this is so hard to understand?

            Apparently it is hard for you to understand that not everyone generalizes populations to such an extreme extent as you.

            You’re assuming the meaning of the statement and all you had to do was ask for clarification but I suppose you never really wanted clarification.
