On MSNBC's The Ed Show, host Schultz featured a panel of guests today to discuss the grand jury decision not to indict a police officer in connection with the death of Eric Garner in New York City. Schultz interviewed T-Dubb-O, an activist and self-described unsigned rapper from St. Louis, as to what the video of the incident and the subsequent grand jury decision mean. His answer:
It means that it's absolutely legal to kill a black person whenever you feel like if you're a police officer. It's legal in the United States of America to still hang and lynch people of color without any type of accountability. That's what it means.
T-Dubb-O also points out that he was able to visit with President Obama, who agrees that there is a problem, if not specifically, that it is legal to hang and lynch people. The activist goes on to say that police should have been wearing cameras all along, as a standard method of accountability.

lynch people of color
No, just colored people.
This stuff is all over facebook and twitter.
This case isn’t about race. The media needs to get this under control versus pouring fuel on the race fire.
The criminal element has the man of lawlessness on their side in the whitehouse.
“Activist facts.”
Interesting that 4 cops can’t subdue a man who was selling single cigarettes illegally without killing him with their bare hands.
This was not a Michael Brown scenario.
no... it means it’s illegal to resist arrest.
no resist no dead brown, garner, or trayvon.
there is ONE common denominator in all these events (and it’s not white racism)
Black punks/thugs RESISTING arrest.
I wonder what this guy thinks of black thugs beating a Bosnian man to death with a HAMMER a few days ago..oh yeah almost forgot..black thugs kill white man minding his own business..A OK since its payback for slavery and stuff
I need to get more info on this case. This sounds odd, in that, he was being arrested for illegal cigarette sales? Isn’t that something akin to a parking ticket? Why are police spending time arresting a non violent criminal committing a minor crime?
NYC social policy for 14 yr olds:
Here’s your Plan B pill kid, just don’t wash it down with a big soda or smoke a cig after sex.
The cops were arresting him because NYC doesn’t get their cut of taxes on sales of single cigarettes. Its all about $$$.
It is irresponsible to spew this garbage
They were called in by several businesses that wanted him away from their store fronts / establishments in selling these cigarettes ..He had been picked up many times before and he kept returning. He was warned they said many times to not be there. The police just didn’t go out and pick him out from random. He didn’t want to surrender to them. I think he had already 30 something charges against him for this same activity which is illegal in wonderful NYC.
This was not a Michael Brown scenario

Does not matter to me. I’ve decided to employ the logic that black people use, therefore, the cop is white, I’m white, the cop is not guilty of anything.
Really?
Well, that eases my concience.
Any word on Plessy v Ferguson? (HEY!! Irony!) Will it be reinstated?
Awwhhhh! Good thing New York passed them gun laws last year.
T-Dumb-o is a fool. Mike Brown was a ghetto thug and died like a ghetto thug.
Our legal system requires us to accept verdicts... but I'm with you on this one. That man should be alive today. Once he said he couldn't breath the EMT's should have been called.
“This was not a Michael Brown scenario.”
I knew that this false equivalence would happen. These are radically different situations.
