The Nubian Conservatory of Music's Annual Concert Visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture SPECIAL TO THE ...NOVEMBER 30,2020 Rodney Applewhite killed by New Mexico Police -A+A 0 Photo: Twitter
Rodney Applewhite, 25, was driving through New Mexico recently on his way to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with his mother and other family members before he was killed by police.
Just outside Los Lunas, on the last leg of a trip that started in South Bend, Ind., a New Mexico State Police officer attempted to pull Applewhite over for what was described as a traffic stop.
It was 8:32 a.m. Nov. 19, a state police news release said. About 10 minutes later, two state troopers tried to arrest Applewhite.
When an altercation occurred with the first officer, the second officer shot Applewhite, firing “at least one round,” state police said. Applewhite, unarmed, died that day in a hospital.
Unarmed blacks are still being "systemically" gunned down, why are there no riots???
Just another example of the racist Biden administration's lack of concern for the plight of Black Americans!
“Unarmed blacks are still being “systemically” gunned down, why are there no riots???”
We all know the answer. Sadly, the American public is far too stupid to understand. We are on a sinking ship, and our moron shipmates are drilling holes in the ship.
Defund the police Joe!!!!
If they put Biden in, the phenomenon known as racism will cease to exist and police can go back to killing blacks at random.
A bit of sarcasm, as ALL of the BS has been and will be media driven.
Saved up for 12 days later when the investigations are getting good for PDJT.
I think BLM and Antifa are too busy trying to divide up the spoils of the fraudulent election. Funniest thing, my Leftist former friends had been blaming all the rioting, looting and burning down of the victims on Trump supporters. Not kidding. I’m sure the rioting, etc., will start up again after the country is in firm Leftist hands.
Pray that the SCOTUS cares about the integrity (what integrity??) of our election and does something to right this treasonous takeover of our country.
Resist we much!!!!
*victims*=CITIES. (Geez, I hate autocorrect more and more each day)
I wonder how he responded to being pulled over? The Chris Rock video shows how an innocent man can get beat up or even killed if he responds “poorly” to being pulled over.
The incident occurred November 19th, that several days ago, yet this Black Star report is dated today. For some reason the MSM did not pick it up, regardless of how it’s spun.
I suspect there are a few details missing. A while back a journalist considered a person unarmed if they attacked the cop with a knife. In other words, the cop had a gun, the perp had a knife, thus unfair, thus unarmed. I suspect some sort of an attack that caused the incident being left out.
But I agree, there should have been a national outrage brought on by the media fanning the flames of the BLM/Antifa fires.
Who cares? Where is Al Sharpton??? Where is the statement from Antifa and BLM on this????
1. Unarmed does NOT mean in dangerous.
2. NEVER fight the cops on the street.
3. Lots of lootable stores currently closed in NM per gov s orders.
...attempted to pull Applewhite over for what was described as a traffic stop.
...two state troopers tried to arrest Applewhite.
...an altercation occurred with the first officer...
So it appears this was a situation and outcome of his own making. Of course, that's never stopped the gibs-me-dat segment of the population from protesting and lamenting the loss of another aspiring rapper who was turning his life around.
I suspect the lack of outrage, lack of riots, lack of looting & burning is not due to any sudden onset of common sense. Instead I believe you are right - the instigated, bought-and-paid-for outrage has served it's purpose. Back to business as usual, ignoring minority deaths which occur all too regularly in places like Chicago and other democrat run h**l holes.
The black guy was murdered by the police. Remember according to BLM there are no good police shootings. This is systemic police racism and Joe is not saying anything????.
The details don’t matter. BLM and Anifa will torch the cites over this??? Will they let Joe feel the burn!!!!
You just don’t get it. This is on Joe’s political tab now.
Another Bull—it headline. The ONLY reason he was unarmed is because he UNSUCCESSFULLY tried to take the LEO’S service weapon away from him.
From the police statement:
According to the statement, Applewhite was driving his gray Chrysler 200 on the Manzano Expressway, a barren two-lane road east of Interstate 25, when the first officer tried to pull him over.
He fled and the state police pursued him, using tire-deflation devices to try to stop him.
About seven minutes later, a dispatcher described his whereabouts and the two officers involved in the shooting incident found him standing outside the car. When they tried to take him into custody, Applewhite resisted arrest and grabbed one officer’s gun, the report said. The second officer shot and killed him.
