Dr. Boyce Watkins GETS A REALITY CHECK - I spoke to white people today, and some of them were deeply offended
PHILADELPHIA!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Lemme tell you something!?
Whites HERE IN PHILADELPHIA!?
You will KNOW WHERE THEY STAND REAL FUCKIN QUICK!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Look, this city, IS KNOWN FOR ITS BRUTAL HONESTY!
The Reality is that the various people and races of THIS CITY.
Are KNOWN for either SUPPORTING YOU.
Which means We will HONESTLY MURDER SOMEONE if it helps You.
Or?
FLAT OUT DESTROYING YOU!
And that means anything from a car bomb, which some people like to FORGET ABOUT. To DROPPING BOMBS ON INNOCENT BLACKWOMEN AND CHILDREN!
You will NOT have to GUESS FOR SO LONG!
You will GET AN ANSWER on how someone from Philadelphia feels, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
Mind you this video is dated from May 20th 2016.
So this was a couple of months ago.
LOOK!?
Philadelphia, is a DEEPLY DIVIDED, RACIALLY DIVIDED, CITY.
That's just the bottom line.
Everyone works together TO A POINT.
Emphasis on, TO A POINT.
One commonality however is that regardless of race or place when you come from Philadelphia there are a core set of city-based customs and culture that YOU INHERIT EVENTUALLY;
1) Honesty.
One easy way to get run out of this city is to be a bullshitter who isn't even good at bullshitting. Liars!?
FRAUDS!?
PHONIES!?
Get BEATEN UP AND MURDERED HERE ON ALL LEVELS ON THE REGULAR!
People have LITERALLY told the truth, even when that truth was HORRIFIC! Strictly because THEY KNEW! If they LIED? Shit would be TWENTY TIMES WORSE NOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN CORNERED AND CALLED OUT ON YOUR BULLSHIT!
2) Hard. Work.
Even the THIEVES, HUSTLERS, LIARS, PIMPS AND CRIMINALS WORK HARD IN THIS CITY! The Politicians lie their asses off and then work their asses off FOR WHOMEVER THEY'RE ALIGNED WITH. This city, DOES NOT TOLERATE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANNA WORK FOR THE SHIT THEY TALK ABOUT.
Even though Philadelphia has a number of Tech-firms and companies it is still known more for its blue collar industry and labor force, just at the factory I am at now? People were doing 12+ HOUR SHIFTS! When My Shoes didn't show up and they had the AUDACITY TO CLAIM THE FACTORY WAS CLOSED!? Myself, ROB, EVEN CHARLOTTE WALKING BY WAS LIKE "WE NEVER FUCKIN CLOSE! FUCK ARE THOSE LAZY FUCKS TALKING ABOUT! THEN TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE WE WEREN'T AT OUR FUCKIN POSTS AND JOBS!"
The UPS-man THE NEXT DAY spent FIVE MINUTES TRYING TO CALM ME DOWN after I told him what that fuckin UPS-tracking note said ONLINE, where they CLAIMED they tried to DELIVER THE SHOES BUT WE WERE CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!
"HEY HEY HEY, NOW, C'MON MAN I DIDN'T WRITE THAT UP! I DID NOT WRITE THAT FORM UP MAN! C'MON MAN!? JUST DON'T HIT ME! THE SHOES ARE HERE TODAY, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT I DIDN'T WRITE THAT UP!"
Nothing has INSULTED ME EVEN MORE than BEING SEPARATED FROM MY SON! Than having TO LOOK TO OTHERS FOR THEIR MEAGER AMOUNTS OF MONEY WHEN I WAS USED TO MAKING FAR MORE ON MY OWN! Even TYPING THIS SHIT! ANGERS ME! To be LOOKED AT AS LAZY! AND UNWILLING TO WORK!
When other kids were getting THEIR TOYS because THEIR PARENTS said THEY EARNED IT or they JUST FELT LIKE GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANTED....
I worked for mine.
This was another reason why I was INHERENTLY PREPARED FOR THE BIGOTRY I EVENTUALLY ENCOUNTERED!
Because even with as shitty as things could be at times at home.
My parents and extended family recognized and loved the fact that I wanted MY FREEDOM to GO WHERE I WANTED. DO AS I PLEASED!
And they made it clear.
Shut up and EARN IT BOY!!!!!
You EARN IT!?
THEN YOU GOT IT!
I cleaned floors of my neighbors.
I washed the FOOT MATS of my neighbors cars.
I swept streets!
AND THAT IS WHAT ALLOWED ME TO BUY MY OWN TRANSFORMERS TOYS WITH MY. FUCKIN. EARNED. MONEY!
Typing this reminds me now why I had problems with certain people.
Because they DIDN'T EARN THEIR PARENTS RESPECT!
Even the other day YOUNGEST BROTHER reminded me that "Your Mother...? To be HONEST!? She IS actually proud of you. But she can't let go of the fact that YOU WILL JUST!? DO IT! And it's like, yo...? She sees the fact that you actually do what your supposed to do, even when you know that all you have to do is JUST LIE OR CHEAT and you can INSTANTLY do whatever. She doesn't have YOUR ABILITY TO STICK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN. And then no matter how long it may or may not take, yo, big brother...? What always happens...? WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS!? That same muthafucka, ALWAYS ENDS UP AT YOUR FEET! BEGGIN FOR THEIR FUCKIN LIFE MAN! Look at how the fuckin HOODLUMS AROUND WHERE YOU AT NOW, look at how they watching you an shit! You started off working TILL 2AM IN THE MORNING FOR WENDY'S! YOU FUCKIN WORE YOUR UNIFORM AND WALKED FROM THERE TO FUCKIN 69TH STREET LIKE, yo!? Yes I work at fuckin Wendy's FUCK YOU WANT SLAVES?! IT'S TEMPORARY! Now the fuckin Niggas are seeing you climbing and climbing and they're like, THAT MUTHAFUCKA KNOWS WHAT HE'S FUCKIN DOING! Now they fuckin ASKIN YOU QUESTIONS AND SHIT! Cuz YOU AIN'T TALKING! YOU'RE FUCKIN JUST DOIN THAT SHIT! Your Mom, she ALWAYS WORRIES you gone get your ass KILLED being like that and you like FUCK IT! Death comes for Us all NOW MOVE BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY!"
SHOUT OUT TO YOUNGEST BROTHER HASSAN!
I'MA KEEP CLIMBING BROTHER!!!!!
MY SON IS WITHIN REACH!
Here is the video.
Welcome to Philadelphia.
Doctor Boyce Watkins.
Rest assured that the Whites in this city who DON'T LIKE what you have to say.
They're NOT going to simply sit there and be rational.
And I know that from experience;
Nazi-America Even Had LAWS AGAINST BLACKWOMEN'S HAIR!
Or...?
Do they STILL have laws against Blackwomen's NATURAL HAIR...
Here is THE LINK to Black Girl with Long Hair;
Black Girl with Long Hair
So you can see EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT where this is what Integration and Desegregation GOT US AS BLACK AMERICANS.
Nothing.
These ridiculous "Bans on Blackwomen's hair" comes from having WHITE EMPLOYERS. AND NON-BLACK EMPLOYERS, that are WAY TOO ABUNDANT because We've STOPPED BEING SELF-SUFFICIENT.
Whereas HAD WE HAVE BEEN CONTINUING TO BUILD UP OUR COMMUNITIES LIKE WE'D STARTED TO DO AND WERE CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO DO!?
Well?
We wouldn't have NEARLY AS MANY PROBLEMS as We do now.
It is hard to DUMP DRUGS in Black Communities when those communities ARE STABLE.
And it is hard to CREATE COONS AND NIGGERS, when Black Employers ARE PLENTIFUL.
And OPPORTUNITIES AND DEMANDS FOR SKILLED BLACK WORKERS, LABORERS, ETC! IS HIGH! As We DIVE INTO OUR OWN GLOBAL ECONOMY WITH RISING BLACK AFRICAN NATIONS! Nigeria. Namibia. Ghana. South Africa. Kenya. And We COULD HAVE PROVIDED REAL SUPPORT FOR SOUTH SUDAN!
This is THE PRICE WE PAY FOR NOT HAVING PROPER POLICIES AND AGENDAS AND OBJECTIVES IN PLACE LONG BEFORE NOW.
Do they STILL have laws against Blackwomen's NATURAL HAIR...
There is some crazy shit that just went on in either North Carolina or South Carolina where Black Hairstyles were BANNED! And now are "LEGAL".
BEHOLD THE POWER OF PETTINESS WHEN IT ISN'T NECESSARY!
When somebody passes laws on YOUR HAIR!?
Your HAIR!?
Is NOW CRIMINALIZED!?
Your HAIR!?
And then I'm supposed to think I can reason and rationalize with ANYBODY THIS FUCKIN PSYCHOTIC!?
Here is some REALITY on the bullshit that makes up THE FOUNDATION of the Nazi-American Empire and its hobby of thinking that shitting on My People is as normal as breathing air;
Shocking History: Why Women of Color in the 1800s Were Banned From Wearing Their Hair in Public
“Did you know that in late 18th century Louisiana, black and multiracial women were ordered to cover their hair in public?” My sister asked me.
“WOW. Really?” I replied.
I’d probably heard of this in one of my black studies classes in undergrad, but who remembers everything they’ve been taught? Besides, this information felt instantly relevant and I was absolutely intrigued.
It wasn’t unusual for me to feel myself gaining brain cells while in conversation with my sisters, but by the time I caught my racing thoughts so I could ask her some questions, it was time to take care of my baby girl. I knew, however that this was a topic worth visiting again.
With a little digging I found that there was in fact a “law” of sorts that demanded women of color in Louisiana to cover their hair with a fabric cloth starting in 1789 as a part of what was called the Bando du buen gobierno (Edict for Good Government). What these rules were meant to do was try to curtail the growing influence of the free black population and keep the social order of the time. The edict included sections specifically about the changing of certain “unacceptable” behaviors of the free black women in the colony including putting an end to what he and others believed to be the overly ostentatious hairstyles of these ladies which drew the attention of white men, and the jealousy of white women. These rules are called the “Tignon Laws” A tignon (pronounced “tiyon”) is a headdress.
Apparently, women of color were wearing their hair in such fabulous ways, adding jewels and feathers to their high hairdos and walking around with such beauty and pride that it was obscuring their status. This was very threatening to the social stability (read: white population) of the area at the time. The law was meant to distinguish women of color from their white counterparts and to minimize their beauty.
Black and multi racial women began to adopt the tignon, but not without a little ingenuity. Many tied the tignon in elaborate ways and used beautiful fabrics and other additions to the headdress to make them appealing. In the end, what was meant to draw less attention to them made these ladies even more beautiful and alluring.
This bit of history only makes me feel even more proud about wearing my natural hair out or in pretty head wraps.
My take away: We should realize and embrace the inherent beauty of our blackness and all that makes us unique, especially our hair. Even history teaches us it’s all so notably beautiful!

Marilyn Mosby and the Nazi-Cops. An Illicit Love Affair Gone Wrong....
I decided to put up the title the way that I did because I have NEVER BEEN FOOLED by this fraud-ass Nigger-Traitor. I highlighted last year that Baltimore's police department is NEARLY 50% BLACK! Now unless you have a complete BUNCH OF PUSSIES! Every one of those Black NAZI-COPS IS NOT A NAZI-COP, BUT A FUCKIN COWARDLY TRAITOR WHO GOES ALONG WITH THE STATUS QUO!
O_O
Wait, was that TOO MUCH!?
No.
Here is why.
What happens when OTHER RACES GAIN 50% OF ANYTHING?
They MAKE IT CARRY OUT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM, but?!?!?!
Somehow these Black Nazi-Cops who are DAMN NEAR THE MAJORITY, can't quite GET CONTROL OVER THE CORRUPTION AND POOR POLICING OF BALTIMORE'S BLACK CONTROLLED REGIONS?
-_-
Really?
So somehow the Blacks in the Baltimore PD, DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SOLIDARITY TO SAY;
We gotta TURN THIS SHIT AROUND! These are OUR STREETS and We are the MAJORITY of the populace here. Let's actually make shit WORK RIGHT FOR A CHANGE!
Now, understand something, the rest of the Baltimore Power Structure, WHO CONTROLS IT? The DA's office? The Judges? The Mayor? The City Council? Etc-etc!? Whenever NON-BLACKS SEIZE 50% OR EVEN CLOSE TO IT, IN ANYTHING!?
They DO NOT sit still and let a NEGATIVE-STATUS QUO KEEP GOING AGAINST THEM.
They IMMEDIATELY begin PUSHING THEIR OWN AGENDA!
But we make EXCUSES for why Our OWN PEOPLE DON'T DO THE SAME!
Oh, if Barack do this or that, then DEM WHITE PEOPLE WILL,
SHUT.
THE FUCK.
UP!
So you ELECTED SOME ASSHOLE TO GO STAND THE FUCK AROUND!?
WHAT IN THEE FUCK KIND OF STUPID! ARE YOU!
So you ELECTED SOMEONE WHERE YOU EXPECT THEM TO NOW DO NOTHING!?
And that is a MAJOR PROBLEM AMONG US AS WELL!
We DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE OUR STRENGTHS AND POWER.
And I see how QUICKLY Our People SCURRY!
When Those Among Us begin TEACHING HOW TO PROPERLY DO THINGS!
The FEAR of White Reprisal AND REJECTION is PATHETIC!
And to ELECT a Half-breed Blackman and then HAVE READY MADE EXCUSES for him TO STAND AROUND AND DO NOTHING, IS RIDICULOUS!
It's almost fuckin CHILDLIKE in its COWARDICE AND STUPIDITY! And I could give two-fucks about any of you who DON'T LIKE WHAT I JUST TYPED! Because what I just TYPED! Is what the fuck MOST OF US STOOD AROUND AND DID!
Who the FUCK elects someone and then EXCUSES THEIR COWARDICE AND INCOMPETENCE!
Men without Bravery and Courage are nothing more than GLORIFIED BALL-LESS EUNUCHS!
If a man isn't going to STAND UP FOR HIS OWN PRINCIPLES AND IDEALS HE'S USELESS!
And then if he doesn't even show HE HAS THE SHREWD CUNNING to be able to ACCOMPLISH getting HIS PRINCIPLES AND IDEALS REALIZED, which then EXPLAINS WHY he was NOT DISPLAYING Bravery and Courage in the face of Adversity, BECAUSE HE WAS QUIETLY ACCOMPLISHING HIS GOALS!
Because the situation WARRANTED IT.
Well, that deserves RESPECT.
But fools wanna pretend like Barack Obama is gonna DO ALL THIS WORK FOR US ONCE HE'S OUT OF OFFICE... More Childish STUPIDITY!
Meanwhile he got laws on the books FOR EVERYONE ELSE!
Except FOR US, and fuck that, cuz I didn't vote for his PHONY-ASS!
EXCEPT FOR YOU!
And a failure to see through HIM!
Means seeing through MARILYN MOSBY IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Because she thought SHE WAS SLICK by coming out supposedly SWINGING FOR THE FENCES AND ALL OF THIS BULLSHIT!
Meanwhile I said to myself "If HER ASS was REALLY DOING ALL OF THIS PRIOR to Freddie Gray's MURDER, then? They wouldn't have killed him. They would already know, HEY GUYS THAT NIGGER-BITCH WILL COME AFTER US IF WE KILL THIS BASTARD! Just ROUGH'EM UP SOME MORE AND WE'LL DUMP'IM AT THE HOSPITAL!"
Even shitty-scripted entertainment shows that when someone HAS A HISTORY OF FUCKIN YOU UP WHEN YOU GET OUT OF LINE! You don't then GAMBLE ON GETTING OUT OF LINE! Cuz YOU FEEL LUCKY TODAY!
Marilyn Mosby played HER PART in PRETENDING LIKE she was GOING AFTER THE NAZI-COPS. But that was to SUIT HER PURPOSES. Now mind you!? This whole staged event MAY STILL BITE HER IN THE ASS, which IS HER OWN FAULT. But TBA already went over HER TRACK RECORD and I posted that broadcast here;
With that typed, here is the article
Officers' attorneys slam Mosby for playing 'victim,' twisting facts in Freddie Gray case
Defense attorneys for three of the Baltimore police officers cleared in the Freddie Gray case slammed Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby on Thursday, saying she painted herself as the "victim" of a crooked criminal justice system, rather than acknowledging that she had victimized their clients by filing baseless charges against them.
In their first extended comments since a gag order was lifted after the case concluded Wednesday, attorneys for Lt. Brian Rice and Officers Edward Nero and Garrett Miller told The Baltimore Sun that Mosby had been offered help by the Maryland State Police early in the investigative process, but rejected it.
They said Mosby also could have requested help from a variety of other agencies and prosecutors around the region but did not — instead rushing ahead with what they called a flimsy theory, only to complain after losing about the lack of an independent investigation.
Rice and Nero's attorneys said their clients had been willing to sit down with prosecutors in the days immediately following Gray's death to provide a fuller narrative of what happened, but never did.
The attorneys scoffed at Mosby's claim, made at a news conference Wednesday morning after the remaining charges were dropped, that she had brought strong cases against the officers that were undone by a rigged system. In reality, they said, their clients had been railroaded by a prosecutor who was less interested in the truth than in announcing charges to quell riots.
"The fact that she's finding herself as a victim and blaming police, and blaming the court, and blaming the defendants for exercising their constitutional rights to elect a court trial, and blaming the judge for him actually holding them to their burden, is pretty shocking," said Catherine Flynn, Miller's attorney.
"These charges were not supported by any fact or evidence. Period," said Michael Belsky, Rice's attorney. "These charges were brought based on a fictitious narrative that was never true and never proven."
A spokeswoman for Mosby did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday.
Gray, 25, died a week after suffering severe spinal cord injuries in the back of a police van in April 2015. His death sparked widespread protests against police brutality. A night of rioting, looting and arson followed his funeral. Mosby charged the officers a few days later, amid continued unrest.
In court, prosecutors alleged that the officers caused Gray's death by shackling and handcuffing him but failing to secure him with a seat belt in the van, and by refusing to get him medical attention when he asked for it. Defense attorneys said in court that the officers acted reasonably, calling Gray's death a tragic accident.
The defense attorneys' comments came a day after Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow announced that Mosby's office was dropping all remaining charges against three officers: Miller, Officer William Porter and Sgt. Alicia White. That decision came after the other three officers — Rice, Nero and Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. — were acquitted after bench trials by Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams.
After the charges were dropped Wednesday, Mosby defended her prosecution in a fiery speech in West Baltimore, saying they were dropped only because of the unlikelihood of securing a conviction in a bench trial before the same judge who had acquitted the three other officers.
She said members of the Baltimore Police Department actively worked to undermine the investigation and that prosecutors were hampered by the officers' ability to choose bench trials rather than jury trials. Those realities, she said, and broader, unspecified issues within the criminal justice system had allowed the officers to escape conviction.
On Thursday, Schatzow and Deputy State's Attorney Janice Bledsoe again defended the cases, saying they continued to believe they had enough evidence to convict the officers.
"We re-examined the cases daily, but no, we never came to the conclusion that there was insufficient evidence," Schatzow said.
They said the fact that a grand jury indicted the officers, and that Williams allowed the trials to play out, showed there was merit to the charges.
In response, Flynn, Belsky and Marc Zayon, who is Nero's attorney, said Mosby's lamenting the lack of an outside investigation ignores the fact that the Maryland State Police had offered assistance.
Greg Shipley, a state police spokesman, confirmed that his agency had offered assistance in the case.
"The Maryland State Police agreed to provide technical assistance to the state's attorney's office that would include the expertise of our Computer Crimes Unit," Shipley said. "Ultimately, we were not called upon to provide any assistance."
The state's attorney's office said that "while the State Police did offer to provide some assistance, what they were willing to do was minimum and things we were able to do quicker with our known investigators."
Mosby's office also could have reached out to any investigative agency it wanted to for help, but didn't do so, said Zayon, a former Baltimore County prosecutor.
"For in all likelihood political reasons, this case was indicted within two weeks with basically no independent investigation done, and a very good investigation, done by the Baltimore Police Department, that Ms. Mosby just chose to ignore," he said. "And now, she should be blaming herself, but instead is trying to deflect the blame and blame everyone else."
Zayon and Belsky both said that in the days following Gray's death, and before Mosby announced the charges against the officers, Nero and Rice were willing to speak with prosecutors about what had occurred. But they never got the chance, the attorneys said.
"If there was anything that Mr. Schatzow or Ms. Bledsoe or Ms. Mosby wanted to talk to Officer Nero about, we would have been more than happy to sit down and tell them anything that they wanted to know. But instead of talking and trying to get information from the officers, within two weeks they indict them and charge them with crimes. No one was hiding anything," Zayon said.
"My client was asked if he wanted to give a statement to the state's attorney's office, and my reply was that I was inclined to do it. Within 24 hours, I never received a phone call and he was charged," Belsky said. "He was willing to sit down and talk to them, and instead they just went and charged him. They didn't care what he had to say.
"They weren't interested in the truth, they were interested in charging," Zayon said.
Belsky said the defense has "no clue" what prosecutors presented to the grand jury to have their cases "sanctioned and blessed," as Mosby claimed, but called on Mosby to release transcripts of the proceedings.
Flynn said prosecutors "irresponsibly" made allegations about misconduct by police officers, including her client, both at trial and in their comments on Wednesday and Thursday, without producing any evidence to support the claims.
"I'm not sure that's going to go unanswered," she said. "It's wildly irresponsible."
The attorneys said neither they nor their clients ever understood why Mosby brought the charges she did.
"For police officers who have sworn their lives to upholding the rule of law and devoted their lives to the criminal justice system, to have to watch the prosecution contort the law and contort the process is extremely frightening," Belsky said.
To have to watch Mosby describe the case in stark, unsubstantiated terms Wednesday — saying Gray was chased for no reason and suggesting that the officers had brutalized him — despite losing in court for a lack of such evidence was also painful for the officers, Belsky said.
"Ms. Mosby said she's anti-police brutality. We're all anti-police brutality. Nobody condones police brutality. Nobody thinks for one second that police brutality is acceptable. But this is not a case of police brutality," Belsky said. "It was never charged as such and it was never alleged to be such. So to mix that into the equation now is unfair to these officers and to the people of Baltimore City, who have very real issues that they have to deal with in terms of their interactions with the police."
Freddie Gray Juror Has Some Interesting Shit to Say, BEHOLD...!
Check out THIS SHIT;
Freddie Gray case: Juror from Porter trial breaks silence
A member of the only jury to hear evidence in the trials of the Baltimore Police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray spoke out Friday following the conclusion of the criminal trials and said she believes the justice system worked well.
Attorney Susan Elgin was one of 12 jurors picked for the first trial, of Officer William Porter, who was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. The jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the counts, resulting in a mistrial last December.
The Baltimore Sun reported in January, quoting a different juror who wished to remain anonymous, that the panel was one vote away from acquitting Porter of manslaughter, while coming close to convicting the officer of misconduct, with 10 in favor, one undecided and one in favor of acquittal.
The jurors were more closely split on the other counts, leaning 8-2 toward acquittal on assault with two undecided, and toward conviction on reckless endangerment, with seven for conviction, three for acquittal and two undecided.
"The above stated verdicts reflect the honest and best judgment of our jury on the evidence presented at trial," Elgin said in a written statement. "We listened carefully to the court's instructions and did our best to apply the law given to us to the facts proven in the courtroom. It was not an easy task and we had legitimate differences of opinion, but the justice system was well served in this case."
Elgin would not reveal how she personally voted. In a brief phone interview, Elgin said she was not yet ready to discuss her feelings about the case. "I'm just one person," she said.
After dropping the three pending cases, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and her staff have spoken out about frustration over the next three officers electing for bench trials without prosecutors being able to weigh in.
Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow noted The Sun's reports of the jury deliberations in defending the cases.
"If we credit the reports in the newspaper, we know that some jurors were persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime had been committed, others were not," he said Thursday. "Whether the result would have been different or not [if the other cases had been tried by a jury], your guess is as good as mine."
Jurors were asked by Williams not to speak publicly about their deliberations until the proceedings had concluded. Following the Porter trial, the next three cases were decided by Williams after the officers elected to forego a trial by jury.
"While one can argue the legitimacy of a 'gag order' on a jury, I believe I speak for most of the jurors when I say we wanted to respect Judge Williams' request that we be silent until all of the officers' trials were concluded," Elgin said in her statement.
Elgin, who is a Towson-based family law attorney, said attorneys for the state and defense knew she was an attorney when she was selected.
"I was proud to serve," she said.
Protesters Demand SABC End News Blackout...!
Protesters demand South African state TV end news blackout
By Tanisha Heiberg
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Protesters called on South Africa's state broadcaster on Friday to reverse a decision not to show footage of violent anti-government protests, but the station denied their claims it was censoring the news in the run-up to local elections.
More than a hundred people stood outside the South African Broadcasting Corporation's (SABC) offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, some wearing black tape across their mouths in the protest dubbed #BlackFriday on Twitter.
Others waved placards reading "censorship is as violent as protests" and "show real news".
The SABC announced in May that it would not show footage of people burning public property in its news bulletins, saying this would encourage others to carry out similar violence.
That prompted accusations that it is seeking to protect the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ahead of what is likely to be a stern electoral test on Aug. 3. Outbursts of collective violence over the lack of social services such as water or roads have become a common feature in South Africa.
Friday's protest was prompted by the suspension this week of three journalists for questioning the new editorial policy.
Three others are due to face an internal disciplinary panel, while acting CEO Jimi Mathews, himself a journalist, resigned on Monday citing a "corrosive atmosphere". "What is happening at the SABC is wrong and I can no longer be a part of it," said Mathews in a letter posted on his Twitter feed.
Funded by taxpayers, the SABC has the widest reach of any South African broadcaster.
"The public broadcaster is critical to democracy ... there is a direct link between the quality of our SABC and the quality of our democracy," political analyst Eusebius McKaiser told reporters at the Johannesburg protest on Thursday.
SABC Kaizer Kganyago said the station was not engaged in censorship.
"We're basically just saying we are not going to show footage of people who are destroying property, but we are still going to explain everything and tell people what has happened and if that is censorship then I don't understand," he said.
"That is a ridiculous statement because the ANC doesn't run the SABC," he said when asked if the editorial policy changes were meant to favour the ruling party.

FUCK.
OUTTA.

Here is the broadcast;
It Agitates Me....
To see shitty-parents with Their Kid/s and watch them fuck them up while I am still separated from mine. Some things are simply common sense. But the norm now is to INTENTIONALLY NOT USE COMMON SENSE.
And then bitch about it later on when you fuckin fail.
It annoys me to see children intentionally set up to fail by their own fuckin parents.
But?
I have my own fight to finish and there is only but SO FAR I can and will go in regards to other people's so-called parenting....

Observe How PERSONAL CHOICES SUPERSEDE THE SUCCESS OF OUR PEOPLE....
I decided to look at the video of Desmond Tutu's daughter talking about how Her Decision to Marry Her Whitewoman-wife, impacted Her Life. Understand something and pay attention to the fact that in the interview she SPEAKS AS IF THE LARGER ISSUE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE HAS SOMEHOW BEEN, resolved. Also NOTE that at NO POINT does she GENUINELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT HER RELIGIOUS BELIEF IS ACTUALLY A WHITE-BASED ONE. And at NO TIME DOES SHE SHOW ANY INNOVATION TO SIMPLY SAY I WILL OPEN MY OWN CHURCH AND FUCK THE WHITES WHO THINK THEY CAN TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE.
This is what I mean.
NOTHING IS EVER ACTUALLY, TRULY, COMMITTED TO BY US.
If you pay attention to what she says and how she says and WHAT SHE IS BEING ASKED AND HER ANSWERS.
You see ZERO DECISION-MAKING ON HER PART TO SIMPLY GO OFF ON HER OWN.
She ARBITRARILY ACCEPTS DISBARMENT.
Though it clearly upsets her.
She speaks about Peoples SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, while IGNORING THE FACT THAT BEING BLACK TRUMPS ANY AND ALL OF THIS. And if WE AS BLACKS ARE STABLE, then? Perhaps HER PERSONAL DESIRES CAN ACTUALLY BE ACKNOWLEDGE AND REALIZED WITHOUT HAVING TO LOSE ANYTHING.
Here is the interview, for what it is worth, because it is a BLURB to be honest and REMEMBER. Black South Africans ARE STILL STUCK ON THE BOTTOM OF SOUTH AFRICA. And while Desmond's Daughter has HER OWN LIFE TO LIVE, we see that HER FATHER'S WRONG-MINDEDNESS, has been SUCCESSFULLY PASSED ON to His Daughter.
Meanwhile?
The Task of Rebuilding Black South Africans ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO ANYWHERE NEAR where it needs to be.
But PERSONAL CHOICES, come first.
Which of course.
Is always a RECIPE for disaster when it comes to supposed leaders and the examples set by THEIR CHILDREN;
Note again, it is about choosing Love first.
It is ironic that when We talk AMONGST OURSELVES AS BLACKS.
About CHOOSING TO LOVE EACH OTHER FIRST.
It is funny how someone can come along and find some means TO VILIFY THAT.
But when it comes to US being IN LOVE WITH NON-BLACKS?
Sure, go right on ahead, LOVE IS THE ANSWER!
It is something that I am SURE many of you have seen and have become sick of.
However you must understand the fact that, who is it that is TELLING YOU NOT TO LOVE ANOTHER BLACK PERSON WITH SUCH FAITH. Why would they be so opposed to such a thing.....
Desmond Tutu's Daughter and a Clear Sign of Why South African Blacks are STILL ON THE BOTTOM
I have made it clear that I DO NOT LIKE Desmond Tutu or Nelson Mandela OR Martin Luther King. I have also made it clear WHY. They talked about and did things that were COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO OUR RETURN TO POWER AND RESPECTABILITY. They pushed Black policies that were AND ARE, stupid. And a person can only "afford to be" stupid when they have enough stability, however they achieved it, to be able to get away with it. Rest assured, once their buffer of resources or whatever PROTECTS THEM FROM THEIR OWN STUPIDITY, runs out, then?
They're finished.
I had this article last month when it came out.
Left it sitting. Like a whole host of articles I have.
Where?
They just aren't worth the time and energy OR ATTENTION, either at that time or perhaps, EVER. One thing you never wanna do when you are TRYING TO CATCH-UP, is fuck yourself up by putting out happy-go-lucky puff-pieces and promotions that will PROMOTE, ACCEPTANCE OF THE STATUS QUO. I've had to learn that lesson THE HARD WAY. So I don't just slap down on here any ole thing without understanding what impact it will have on Black Readers. There are certain things that I post on here where off-line I've been asked WHY did I post this that or the other and I told them straight out;
I need Our People to see that STRUGGLING WITHIN YOURSELF, far as DECISION-MAKING and HOW YOU'D LIKE THINGS TO BE, is actually NORMAL.
However!?
The REALITY IS that YOU MUST DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE REALITY OF YOUR SITUATION, even when YOU DON'T LIKE IT. Even WHEN IT IS PAINFUL.
Because IF YOU DO NOT MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, EVEN WHEN IT IS HARD TO DO, then?
How will you ever REGAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE.
YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
And RESTORE Your Ability TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE AND RESTORE VALUE TO YOUR LIFE. Both amongst Us and with Others.
This is the reality of being a REBUILDING PEOPLE. Who have ACTIVE RESISTANCE TO OUR REBUILDING AND REGAINING STABILITY AND POWER.
So when I saw this bullshit with Desmond Tutu's daughter, I was not only NOT SHOCKED. But it ties into what Jason Black and Professor Black Truth talk about ALL. THE. TIME.
Black People wanting INTEGRATION.
So they can have SEXUAL ACCESS TO WHITES.
-_-
Dumbest.
Move.
EVER.
Because when you have REAL POWER AND RESPECT, that will happen anyway, idiots.
Meanwhile;
The Difference is TIME.
When you are ON A SCHEDULE AND/OR TIME IS NOT IN YOUR FAVOR?
Then you CANNOT HAVE IDIOTS MAKING UP SIDE QUESTS THAT COST TIME FOR SOME FRIVOLOUSLY STUPID REASON.
And chasing White pussy and/or dick is fuckin FRIVOLOUSLY STUPID!
Yet we see it all the time from Blacks IN CRITICAL POSITIONS.
Blacks who tend to talk that We Need to Integrate, tend to be the first ones to come up with someone White on THEIR ARM. They put THEIR DESIRES AHEAD OF OUR COLLECTIVE NEED TO REBUILD AMONG OURSELVES.
And for that, there must be consequences, STRICTLY BECAUSE;
We are NOT WHITE.
You WILL NOT USE US FOR YOUR PERSONAL AGENDA.
You want to be with White whomever, fine, go do that.
BUT DON'T TELL US ABOUT INTEGRATION SO YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE AND NOT FEEL ODD BLACK PERSON OUT, when you show up with a White Person on your arm or Your Arm on a White Person's.
Thanks to the lazy-stupidity of previous generations of Blacks. Work must be done to salvage the lost time wasted on desegregation and integration. Some sense of Black Values must be restored IMMEDIATELY. There is NO TIME for supposed VOCAL BLACKS to be showing up with Whites on their arms and then saying this White Person is here to help.
Well?
They could have done that how long ago now?
And this is an INTERNAL MATTER.
So why have you BROUGHT AN OUTSIDER HERE AND THEN AN OUTSIDER BELONGING TO THE GROUP WHO WE'RE IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH.
Here is the article;
