In what is being referred to as the beginnings of a “brilliant eugenics plan,” Dekalb police have assassinated on-site a 27-year-old, unarmed man for being naked and mentally disturbed. When this criteria has now become the new standard for fatally shooting a person, we must ask ourselves what the hell has happened to us?
From The Raw Story:
“An officer with the Dekalb County police responded to a caller who said a man was ‘acting deranged, knocking on doors, and crawling around on the ground naked,’ around 1 p.m. local time, county police chief Cedric Alexander told reporters.
The officer, who was white, encountered the man in the parking lot of the complex without any clothes on, Alexander said according to a recording of the conference published online by local broadcaster Fox5. The man ran at the officer, who backed up and ordered the person to stop before shooting him twice, Alexander said.”
One activist report reacts to this rather wisely:
“Yes, the officer had a Taser and Alexander mumbled the predictable statement about more training for mental health detection – yet, never before have we seen such a blatant rash of killings on the behalf of law enforcement. The real mental health detection should take place before hiring. They kill more Americans than insurgents do in occupied countries, making them officially a bigger threat than terrorism.”
This claim, by the way, is not an exaggeration; this past year alone, police officers have killed 1,000 Americans; this year, they seem to be hunting early – 2o0 deaths at the hands of police have already been drawn up and documented. In other words, there is no escape, really, but through posting stories like this, we are surely going to try to change that fact and simultaneously reduce these numbers. We can do it – just share this story and raise awareness. Until then, stay safe.
