"Bad Black People." Why Bill O'Reilly Is Wrong Even When He's Right"
A HANDCUFFED teenager is being hailed as a hero after he helped save the life of a police officer who was processing him.Last September, Jamal Rutledge — a juvenile defendant — was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and burglary, according to NBC Miami.But as officer Franklin Foulks was booking Rutledge, the cop collapsed holding his chest in distress.Rutledge immediately began to kick the security fence and yell for help, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department said.
Of course a lot of people will say 'what else would he have done? theres a man dying in front of him'.A nearby officer heard Rutledge’s cries and radioed for help. A rescue team arrived shortly after and transported Foulks to hospital.The FLPD said attending medical staff noted quick action by Rutledge and other cops saved Foulks’ life.Rutledge and three other officers involved will be honored publicly next week.
And to that I say... well he could have tackled the officers sister as she came running in concern for her brother and lock her in a police car feet away from her dying sibling all while refusing to administer aid...
Or he could have ignored any signs of distress emanating the officer... perhaps pleas of 'I can't breathe'?
Blamed the officers condition on his diet and left it at that?
Regardless.... three cheers for Jamal Rutledge.
Other links incase the above does not work:
Alan: Blacks are arrested - and prosecuted - at least twice as often as whites for the "contraband" crimes that most often put Americans behind bars.
If white people were incarcerated as often as blacks for the crimes both commit with the same regularity, and if blacks were incarcerated for the crimes they commit as often as whites are for those same crimes, the "black prison time" figure of 32% (above) would be cut in half and the "white prison time" figure of 6% would double.
The situation is further complicated because it is much harder for released blacks to find work than it is for released whites, making persistent black unemployment a source of recidivism.
Are there any circumstances under which you would hire Jamal ahead of James?
