And what lie was told? That's initially what their role and description was before they became unionized and figured that they would still kill minorities, only now 'legally' since every officer seems to be terrified by unarmed black men/women 
this is a coordinated hit piece on something she didn't even say

It wouldn't shock me if she's forced to apologize even though she right.
Historically accurate.
And for those of you who didn't know, the land called Rikers island, before it became host to one of the most dangerous prisons in the country, actually belonged to an ancestor of NY's slave patrol:
Jacob Morris, director of the Harlem Historical Society, recently started a petition to rename the embattled jail complex due to family member Richard Riker's history of helping send blacks into slavery during the 19th century.
Riker presided over the main criminal court in New York City, the Court of Special Sessions, in the early 1800s, and he used his authority in this position to send blacks to slavery as part of what abolitionists called the Kidnapping Club, according to historian Eric Foner.
Petition Seeks New Name for Rikers Island Over Historic Ties to Slavery
"In accordance with the Fugitive Slave Act, members of the club would bring a Black person before Riker, who would quickly issue a certificate of removal before the accused had a chance to bring witnesses to testify that he was actually free," Elizur Wright Jr.'s 19th-century newsletter "Chronicles of Kidnapping," read. The newsletter is cited in work from Columbia University history professor Eric Foner, a Pulitzer Prize winning author who writes at length about the embattled island and its beginnings.

Lol at the Daily Mail trying to make this a big deal, its true and Bomani Jones and Howard Bryant already got at Albert Breer over this last month and pointed out the historical accuracy of the cops starting out as slave patrols. Last I checked they both worked at ESPN, this shyt is a fake controversy.

Jemele...
She doesn't care for black men in general so I'm not a fan, but she is right in this case.

Smart crackers know how stupid, stupid crackers really are. They know cacs aren't going to read and comprehend those aren't her words. I was lost when i read it like when does she says this?
She ain't lying
They throw black people on sinking ships to open the better spots for anglos. Gentrification. No one is rushing home at 6pm to watch ESPN. People stream and follow stuff while at "work".
