18 Arrested on 3rd Day of Protests for Brooklyn Teen Thug Shot by Police
More than a dozen people were arrested as scores of
demonstrators gathered in Brooklyn for a third consecutive day to
protest the NYPD department following the police-involved shooting of a
16-year-old boy over the weekend, authorities said.
Protesters attended a candlelight vigil Wednesday night for Kimani
"Kiki" Gray just blocks from where he was shot to death by police
Saturday night.
The anger was palpable as a group of young people heckled police officers in helmets and later marched down a street.
The vigil's organizers tried and failed to calm the young people,
some of whom later threw bottles at police officers. One officer's face
was hit with a brick; he was treated for a laceration and released from
Suny Downstate Hospital, police confirmed.
Eighteen people were arrested during Wednesday evening's protest,
including Gray's sister. Specific charges against her were not immediately clear.
This
is a great example of the dangers that mob mentality can impose on
society. The NYPD is still conducting an investigation into what
happened. The police involved in this incident have been put on
temporary leave until questions are answered. Meanwhile, ignorant
people with short sighted opinions get fired up and scream racism and
they have no idea why.
The truth is, we have NO IDEA what happened the night Kiki, aka
street-thug-gang-banger 'Shapow' was shot and killed while trying to
escape from 3 police officers. For all we know, he could have been
imposing a serious threat to the officers who shot him....and it's also
possible that he wasn't.
One thing's for sure - his sister and other 17 geniuses who were
arrested last night have NO IDEA what really happened because they're
too busy pointing fingers and screaming 'racism' while more logical
people are out conducting an investigation and seeking out legitimate
facts.
The law of the land is 'Innocent until proven guilty' for a
reason. Chilax, America. Wait until the investigation is conducted and
then decide if you want to protest.
Imagine how stupid the
protesters will feel when all the dust settles and we get legitimate
evidence about the real scenario that took place. All these morons now
have an arrest record despite the outcome of the case.
Smooth move, dumb asses.
