The United States continues to be separate and unequal in so many ways. Justice, far too often, is applied in an inequitable fashion and basic privileges often afforded to white men, 2015 be damned, just aren't given to black men of the same age and background.
When 62-year-old Clarence Daniels went to shop at his local Florida Walmart, he had no idea that he would soon be assaulted by another shopper and violently restrained by onlookers. Carrying a legally concealed firearm, properly holstered underneath his jacket, which he was licensed to do, Clarence Daniels, a black man, was spotted in the parking lot by Michael Foster, a white man 20 years his junior.
Foster follows Daniels into the Walmart, chokes him from behind in front of children and bystanders, wrestles him violently to the ground, and is soon joined by other white onlookers who come to help Foster restrain Daniels—in which they take his gun and wait for police to arrive.
i posed a question in another post as to why we never hear about Black and Hispanics and carry permits and just carrying period guess i was right about why i thought we didn't. Walmart is fast becoming the go to spot to harm or kill Black men. and just like back in the day they come in groups enacting vigilante law the very well they should be charged with
During this entire ordeal, Daniels, according to onlookers and the police report, screamed and pleaded over and over again that he was a licensed gun owner permitted to carry his weapon, but his pleas were ignored.
i guess when they get in that zone to murder or maim they don't hear pleas from their prey like Eric Garner Staten Island murder the cop's heard him but ignored one said "if he couldn't breathe he would not have been able to say so" that is an admission they heard but ignored the beat down was all that mattered over a .75 cent cigarette, now he's dead his children left with no dad and mom struggling on her own.
While Foster was later arrested for this assault, the other men who restrained Clarence Daniels weren't and the underlying issue isn't being addressed: After being unjustly profiled as criminals, innocent black boys and men are being confronted, assaulted, and murdered by citizens and police alike in this country.
first we need to stop lying about it can't address what you say didn't happen and as far as body cams there have been other cases with video and just us while perpetrator gets paid vacation and exoneration that's slapping us 3 times. i wonder the police getting away with it has embolden racist to do the same expecting they to will get away with it, also i wonder were the carrying too and does the carry laws really only apply to Whites? how much later was this guy arrested and is he still in custody and why weren't the others complicit in violating Mr. Daniels civil rights and right to carry?
