“I Can’t Breathe” Another Modern Day Lynching.

The Wicked Orchard by Sidra Owens

I just watched the video of a police officer murdering a subdued, handcuffed, unarmed black man. Again.

When Fox News and the xenophobic new sources get a hold of this; they will look into the dead man’s background. Go over what he has been arrested for or convicted of in the past. They bring up what brought the police to the scene in the first place and use all this information as a reasoning for why this man deserved to die.

I am going to post a link to the TYT report on this and want you to watch it, because it’s different from other killings. This wasn’t a shooting. This isn’t an eye-witness account from the cop’s point of view. This was recorded live, as the man is methodically murdered in front of citizens while no other “law enforcement” did anything to stop it.

The man is moving and telling the cop he can’t breathe, and then you slowly watch the life ebb out of his body.

But even move poignant than that watch the cop. As the seconds tick by, he drives that knee down on his neck, harder and harder.

Watch it.

Watch the cop’s movements.
