NAACP: Black Police Officers No Longer Black
After the Keith Scott shooting in Charlotte, NC the NAACP has proposed a new reason to explain how black police officers are racist. Put simply, if you are a black police officer you are no longer black. Despite all the overwhelming evidence that has been made available which shows that the shooting was justified, the NAACP is certain that Scott was unjustly killed.
The civil rights group had a list of demands released Tuesday to the Charlotte Police Department to make sure that black cops never again shoot and kill armed black men who pose a threat. The NAACP further solidified this by making the following statement:
“Many black people who become police officers become blue, not black. In order for you to survive in a police department, you take on the police department’s ideology, ways of life, and culture.”
Essentially what the NAACP is saying is that once a black person becomes a police officer you are no longer truly a black person. Once a black person makes the decision to serve their community, the NAACP thinks that they become a threat to the safety and well-being of innocent black men by conforming to racism which they claim is deeply rooted in all of policing.
There is no denying Charlotte Officer Brentley Vinson is a black man and a black cop. He is the son of one of the first ever black detectives on the Charlotte Police Department. He played football at Liberty University and Fork Union Military Academy and there have been no reports of police misconduct on his record.
Keith Scott is being hailed as husband and father of the year despite the fact he tried to kill his wife and has a long, violent criminal history.
Keith Scott was shot after police told him over 10 times to drop the gun that he was holding. A gun was recovered on the scene, bystander photos shot the gun on scene, and the police department photos shot the gun. Now the camera footage shows Scott exiting his vehicle with something in his right hand. Despite evidence, the shooting sparked riots all over Charlotte North Carolina. Dozens of officers and civilians have been injured, with thousands of dollars of property being destroyed or stolen. This incident has absolutely nothing to do with racism and trigger happy police but mass media and the NAACP would like you to think otherwise.
