Towards the end of the video, as the police moved in; she used her baby and kid as a shield so the police couldn't yank her out the car.


I can't rock with that. She put those babies in the line of fire for her own mess.

coward move.

like i'm really supposed to believe your wonderbread ass concerned about the well being the black kidi guess shooting that kid and murdering his mother infront in front of him was a courageous move huh Opey

Her own fault

But we're all tinfoil militants, right guys...?

Again, there is no "registration" for shotguns. Both the bytch with the shotgun and the idiot who made that post don't know what the fukk they're talking about.

In fact it's even more proof this chick was nuts by talking about having her "papers" for a shotgun. The goddamn papers in the pic were probably court papers, or psyche ward life goals papers.

SMH. Read this. The writer of this, Preston Mitchum, irresponsible article has an agenda. This man along with TheRoot.com want to further a schism between Black men and women and don't want traditional Black families to exist. And, this irresponsible article he's written is evident he wants Black men to blindly follow up behind the insane actions of a mentally ill woman. Where are we Black people going? We are going to a quick death because we blindly empower those who look like us but who will be the cause of our destruction.



Korryn Gaines Doesn’t Need to Be Perfect for Black Men to #SayHerName

Korryn Gaines Doesn’t Need to Be Perfect for Black Men to #SayHerName

On Monday, Baltimore County police shot and killed 23-year-old mother Korryn Gaines while she was holding her 5-year-old son, making her the ninth black woman to be killed by police this year. I feared two common trends would find their way to the forefront after hearing the Baltimore County Police Department’s version of events.


I was first nervous that black men would be silent about Gaines’ being killed—or alternatively, would speak, but use that as an opportunity to blame her for her own death. Simultaneously, I worried that police would reveal minimal information as a way to figure out their story first before airing it public. Both occurred.


Although both are frequent occurrences in the realm of many male-centered #BlackLivesMatter social media narratives, I have not come to expect much of the police other than recycled lies and good ol’ boy traditions. This is, part and parcel, why I have no issue with being team #AbolishThePolice. However, it is the former that hurts more than the latter. The fact that when I log onto the internet and find my way through the Twittersphere and see black men blaming black women like Gaines—the same black women who defend us even to their detriment—hurts like hell.


Despite black men often remaining silent about the violence black women face, they continuously fight for and defend black men. How often do we organize national marches for black women killed by police? Let’s face it, black women rarely receive respect in movement-building spaces, including online mechanisms, despite always being front and center in ongoing fights against police brutality. It’s quite terrifying to have anyone think that women, like Gaines, are the causes of their own deaths. And having that cruel argument come from black men adds insult to injury.


It doesn’t escape me that the world needs more people like Gaines—women who are bold, women who don’t want to die with their hands up because they understand they can be shot anyhow, and women who are about transformative justice. Gaines recognized that none of this could be done with concession. This, coupled with the understanding that black America doesn’t need to sanitize Gaines’ life for us to #SayHerName, is critical. Gaines fought (and fought hard), and she wanted to ensure that her son understood not to fear police. But still, none of this means she deserved to die.


Further, what we know is that if Gaines had been white, she would have lived. The main argument circulating is that “she asked to die when she pointed the gun at police.” Assuming she actually pointed a gun, we must understand that her blackness is what got her killed, not a rifle.


In the past five years, there have been numerous occasions where white people have pointed guns at police officers and have remained alive—and in some instances, have kept their firearms. E.J. Watson, for example, was arrested in October of 2015 for waving a loaded gun on the road, and when the police came, he did not put it down. He’s still living. And this year, the police approached a vehicle of Jed Frazier, a white man, as he pulled a handgun from his coat pocket and pointed it at police. He’s not dead.


While we may not know too much about Gaines, we do know police. We do know that we need to continue to #SayHerName if black women are to mean anything to us and our movements.


And we know that the body count of black women like Gaines who are executed by police and blamed for their own blood will continue to rise as long as we are silent about their pain, cowardly co-signing the lie that they deserved it.

I could NEVER be a cop,I saw the 15min video last night,if that would of been me pulling her over for no plates,I would of just tazed the bytch and dragged her out
She made it wayyy more complicated then it should have,you driving around with no plates,u getting a ticket,you keep challenging me and giving me a hard time over and over,I'm getting them to tow your car
I have no idea what the right procedures are in that case where she wouldn't leave the car and made her kids sit upfront with her,but I would of tazed her and yanked her out before she tried to use her kids as a shield,and if she hit me I'm giving her the Rodney King Special

 

[Deutsche Bank]

You can't even get a ccw or buy a handgun when you have a warrant out for your arrest. It's called being a fugitive from justice.

nikkas need to sit the fukk down with their fake indignation in this thread. Crazy bytch committed suicide by cop with a kid in the house. That's why the cops shut off her stupid livestream.

A paradoxical six hour long blitzkrieg of an assassination of a light skinned woman in retaliation for malicious prosecution by another light skinned woman who dropped all charges and comes from an entire family of cops.

Yeah, that smell is the smoke from the stupid burning trying to make sense of some retarded ass shyt like that.

You think I'm white?

Stop it.

You saying it's okay to hide behind your kids. You sound dumb

Damn

 

[JLova]

You're stereotyping the cops just like you claim others' stereotype Blacks. You have no proof the cops are suppressing or erasing anything. NO PROOF.

why you hiding?

 

[1970s HeRon Flow]

Damn

I take it back,I would be a police officer in a nice affluent city,If I remember correctly,in Santa Monica,rookies make 70k starting,I can see myself working that easy,pulling over cacs all day for the simplest shyt and handing out tickets left and right ,I'd be happy to receive all shyt talking from them,I'd have my on my face,inner city,I couldn't,cuz I already know they'd be testing me ALL DAY every day,I couldn't take it,My name would ring bells in internal affairs

Based on the videos of her that have emerged before this fatal incident, she was saying and doing some powerful stuff. Rest in Power sista She definitely should've gotten her kids outta there though.
