Russell Simmons: USA Hasn't Seen Protests Like Those That're Coming if Justice Doesn't Start

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."

The faster the protests/riots get here, the sooner they can be dealt with.

Bring it on.

“Over 150K cases were brought before the grand Jury and and only 11 cases didn’t come back with indictments...”

This statement says “0.0007 % of cases didn’t return an indictment”. In other words, 99.993% of cases DID return an indictment. To him, that’s not the justice system working properly?

As if we needed more proof this guy was a complete idiot.

Mob rule is not justice. It has very unpleasant consequences wherever it has been tried; both for the public and for the mob.

The protests are funded by Obama’s Stimulus.

And the “protestors” haven’t seen the pushback “that’re” coming if they don’t watch out.

The pro-thug crowd is saying hands off!

I guess that white cops will abandon law enforcement work and Americans will wall off the savage urban streets.

They should be careful what they ask for; dooming generations of blacks to violent crime and death around the corner.

Then again, if this is what they want, this will be the future of Black America.

He IS right—he’s just got the source wrong. Listen to what Rev James Manning, a black pastor has to say at about 1:20 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY6IZsZt1xw.

You haven’t seen a riot until you see the majority white population exact ‘justice’ for all the unrest that Obama and his cronies have stirred up.

protests coming if "demands" were not met.

Screw them. They can shove their demands. They have to obey our laws just like everyone else.
Don't loot. Get a job. That should fix just about everything.

Something has to be done about this out of control EBT culture.

Most cities will not stand by and allow thugs to burn and loot.

I am sure that the gutless R's are quietly being told:

'You saw what happened in Ferguson? Imagine that 10 or 20 times over if you go after St. Barrack. Because that is what you will get.'

OK, they probably didn't call him St. Barrack

Because Americans have armed up the last few years.

An interesting interpretation of the big word “Justice”-does it mean we totally dominate al other peoples? Does it mean no accountability for taking other peoples lives and property? Does it mean the ability to insult at will? Does it mean receive endless streams of taxpayer monies? Does it mean job and educational preferences over other people not withstanding personal incompetence? I suspect that the aforementioned are what is really included in the so called “cries” for “Justice.”

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