When I read That One of The Cops who shot,Amado Diallo a Name Ingrained in Black AfroAmerican as well as African Modern'Racial' Crimes Like,part of our tragic 'Amerikan'History like the Nightmare of Abner Louima. And The Latest Outrageous massacre Sean Bell.I was SHOCKED That one of the Cops that shot Mr. Diallo wanted to be 'REINSTATED' to the NYPD.And was Very upset and to the point of going to court over that fact that he had his gun taken away,a desk job,and 'Teased'by fellow Cops,with Childish name calling.calling him'Kenny no Gun'.It's automatic to make the comparisons with the Past reality's as to what is Veiwed as Important or significant and to whom.But that's the NYPD for ya as stated by one of their own.Living in NYC.I have seen and Felt the Pain of their Mentality/Brutality first hand.

Kenny no Gun They laugh an call you ‘’Kenny no Gun’’ What about the Mother who lost her son? You served in Iraq, Iran , Ny Shot down an Innocent man haven’t you had enough of a gun in you hand Man!. Always the same People of color is you aim Cant wait to get back in the Sadists game Begging the city cops to reinstate Masters of intimidation beating Dark races into disgrace. But that’s not what you’d say… You'd say ’’ you got red eyes Must be high I smell weed He Looks like a Thief ! Look what I found ‘’COCAINE’’ Hey! how far can 41 bullets splatter a mans Brain? Stopping cars putting guns in Peoples grill How long does it take Till you throw Them down ? A Crack to the face? An go for the kill? saying they had something smart to say? Is the‘’Fad’’ these day's to wait for their wedding day? Begging the city cops to reinstate Master of intimidation beating Dark races into disgrace. your target direct hate But that’s not what you’d say…

Carolyn,

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase,"Public Servant." What ever happened to the, "To protect and serve part of their oath." To some it's just an easier way to accomplish their vendetta. I pray that peace and justice prevail in our streets and the only way I see that happening is by keeping the piece from falling into the wrong hands.
