    About this ebook

    A collection of blog posts and podcasts reflecting the climate of the number of law enforcement officers who kill without cause. An analysis of the mood in America as this situation continues to perpetuate on almost a daily basis. The voices of angry Americans go unheard as the body count grows. It is a naked truth that the average citizen cannot understand. With every passing moment, the relationship between law enforcement in America and the general public frays. We are hanging on by a thread and no one has the answer.

      Preface

      This book is a recap of my blog posts and podcast shows as I reviewed how our law enforcement units continue to get away with murder across the United States. It is been over two years and the carnage happens almost daily. Here I will share the articles and topics discussed as well as give insights as to what I thought when I wrote or recorded this content. I will also give an update on cases that have closed recently for those formal charged. Please note I will not list or name any officers involved because they have garnered enough notoriety at the cost of many human lives. It is the victims that need to be remembered not the murderers. Many will say that the occurrences are unfortunate events. I say these events could have all been avoided.

      Introduction

      The victimization of unarmed individuals is reaching epic proportions. It started out as isolated incidents or so we were led to believe. The frequency increased like a tsunami over the last couple of years. Victims range from a child of twelve to men over fifty and now women have entered the fray. Senseless in nature, the execution style murders are rampant. I use the term execution because what else can you call it when the victim does not have weapon, is penned or bound, or is being restrained by a small group of individuals. In the beginning, the news media showed this travesty of injustice occurring frequently to the black man. The news reported the incident along with justification to vilify the victim. I believe it was a way for society to openly accept and sweep under the rug the outcome. For a long time, we all bought into the mindset that had the victim just been a good citizen, none of this would have happened. Well, society as a whole have since learned that is some bullshit.

      The smartphone has become a form of armor to document the crimes against the defenseless. However, it has not been able to preserve life. Nowadays, law enforcement have no issue with being recorded. At least the ones who purposely aim to be destructive have no qualms about it. The amateur recording are what brings a half full of irrational officers to court. I would like to believe that when they see themselves on video, the depiction is something that brings shame and they would not want to be judged by their children. As recently as
