Russell Simmons: USA Hasn't Seen Protests Like Those That're Coming if Justice Doesn't Start
Truth Revolt ^ | December 9, 2014 | Sarah Fisher

We have a list of demands.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Russell Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, appeared on CNN last night on Out Front with Erin Burnett to warn there are more protests coming if "demands" were not met.

We are seeing the beginning of the end of police policing the police, he added.

"On Wednesday, we are going to ask for indictments and list of achievable demands." ('We' referring to high profile celebrities and athletes that share Simmons' beliefs.)

"And America has not seen protests like those that are coming if justice doesn't start to come down," warned Simmons.

Simmons told Burnett, "Over 150K cases were brought before the grand Jury and and only 11 cases didn't come back with indictments. It's like lightening striking the black community over and over and over again."

We need special oversight committees, we shouldn't leave it to DAs who work with the police, explained Simmons.

Burnett asked, "You don't feel defeated that has happened again and again and again" to which Simmons responded "We're going to get indictments now because America hasn't seen what's coming."

"When people understand the injustice properly, the way these protestors understand it, they're all going to fight for justice, and that's going to change this system."

They don’t give up. They should be looking at the source of the problem: minorities who commit violent crime.

Someone here said recently “when minorities rage, neighborhoods burn, when whites rage, continents burn” or some such.

Me.

When black people riot, cities burn.

When white people riot, continents burn.

Grand juries will continue to work like they always have, whether the Left likes it or not.

As far as ending the practice of police personnel investing alleged police misconduct, that is insane and has to change.

Best post:
“Injustice”, as defined by democrats: “anytime we don’t get what we want, get rightfully punished for our crimes, or simply want to act lawlessly with full impunity, then we have an injustice.” -Cahal the mad

simply want to act lawlessly with full impunity
This obvious fact bears repeating.

This is a threat that mind numbed robots will be incited by “leaders” to kill, burn and loot the US if their political demands are not met.

Where, in human history, has a group outnumbered seven-to-one, defeated the majority? Bueller? Bueller?

“Justice”? Far more blacks kill their fellow blacks but no cry of “justice” by blacks for that.

It’s been my experience when push comes to shove, left wingers will always run the other way and let someone else do the shoving.

That someone else might be the govt or it might be you but they wont do it themselves, they will run to the protection of others to take care of them.

Not only will they run to you to do the shoving back, once you start doing the shoving back they will try and stop you.

You put your faith in the left to help you do the shoving and you are in for a rude awakening.

These cases only went to the grand jury as an act of appeasement to the protestors.

Different races and they never would have gone to the grand jury.

These idiots blocked the Interstates here in Jacksonville yesterday.

Note to self:

Augment pistol in console with riot gun under back seat. I don’t plan on being drug out and beaten to death in the name of social justice.

Actually, it highlights why sending things to a grand jury for “show trial” purposes is stupid.

There was no case and the DA didn’t want to prosecute a non-crime. Pushed to “do something”, they kicked the ball to a grand jury, who looked at the evidence and came up with the same determination.

From your own experience that is one thing, but when it comes to human survival that beat out everything else.

Stop policing BLACK areas. Police should start a containment protocol. Only BLACK officers, with no guns or kevlar vests, should respond in the containment zone. Officers should not leave vehicles.

Better yet...Black Politicians, entertainers, professional athletes should dole out money and fund a Security Force of their design. Do a pilot program in Chicago. No chance(AHEM) there would be any corruption or problems with that.

IIRC, there were no blacks there when the whites colonized it 300 years ago. The blacks showed up later, mostly refugees from slaving and famine.

“but when it comes to human survival that beat out everything else.”

A little advice, don’t learn the hard way the left is more than happy to sacrifice you for their own survival.
