This case is one of the most obvious displays of police corruption in recent years. So they want us to believe that Chavis shot himself in the right temple while he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back, and he’s left handed. Also, they admitted to searching him twice and didn’t find a gun, but found a sack of weed. Truth is Arkansa police created such a ridiculous story because too many times us as black people just accept whatever we’re told.

We all know that if this was a 12 year old white girl the altercation would have been handled differently. Certainly a white child would have not been shocked by a taser at the hands of a police officer. With knowing that it’s time to stop allowing these racist police to get away with excessive force towards people of color, especially black children. We have to unite and get behind this family in St. Louis and create a petition for some type of financial or legal action to be taking against the officer involved. Truth is, if we let this go this will continue to be a problem for black people in America.
This story hits home for me considering I spent the majority of my childhood in this neighborhood and lost my friend Donald and couple other people I knew all from gun violence. Being a young black man in America every day is a challenge to survive. There are so many more of us being killed out here in the streets of America than in military combat in Afghanistan to the point that it seems to be a genocide going on against black men in America. Let’s be real if it was young white men being murdered at this rapid pace they will consider it a national threat and they would be sure to explore all their resources to find a solution to the problem.
A father has died after he was Tasered by police while trying to protect his two sons at a basketball game brawl – as four of his children looked on.
Corey McGinnis, 35, was playing basketball with a group of men and his sons, aged 15 and 16, at Crutchfield Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Family members said a fight broke out after the other team lost yet refused to pay the bet they had placed before the game.
In the chaos, shots were fired and when police arrived on the scene, they Tasered three men, including McGinnis, to control the crowd.
The man, who has nine children and was an aspiring football coach, collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
He never regained consciousness and his mother decided to turn off his life support after five days, McGinnis’s niece told Cincinnati.com.
