What Samaria Rice -Tamir’s Mom- Really Said (The Non-White Typical Supremacist Statement)

by | Dec 29, 2015 | Opinion | 0 comments

Following a grand jury’s failure to indict officers Tim Loehmann and Frank Garmback in the fatal shooting of twelve-year old Tamir Rice, his mother Samaria Rice has issued a statement.

Rice’s full remarks are as follows:

“My family and I are in pain and devastated by the non-indictment of officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback for the murder of our beloved Tamir. After this investigation—which took over a year to unfold—and Prosecutor McGinty’s mishandling of this case, we no longer trust the local criminal-justice system, which we view as corrupt.

Prosecutor McGinty deliberately sabotaged the case, never advocating for my son, and acting instead like the police officers’ defense attorney.

In a time in which a non-indictment who have killed an unarmed black child is business as usual, we mourn for Tamir, and for all of the black people who have been killed by the police without justice. In our view, this process demonstrates that race is still an extremely troubling and serious problem in our country and the criminal-justice system.

I don’t want my child to have died for nothing and I refuse to let his legacy or his name be ignored. We will continue to fight for justice for him, and for all families who must live with the pain that we live with.

As the video shows, Officer Loehmann shot my son in less than a second.

All I wanted was someone to be held accountable. But this entire process was a charade.

I pray and hope that the federal government will investigate this case.

tamirrice-opencarryIt ain’t just the federal government that is involved. Not this time. No way, no how are they going to walk away from this one or any of the others. Pray and hope … they have proven that justice is not what is on their mind, white supremacy is what they protect and uphold, regardless. Pray, and then get up and move your ass because “hope” ain’t gettin’ it this time. #Godallowswhatyoudo …

Note: There was a time when Jim Crow was legal, too; however … When the law upholds corruption, the law is no longer valid.

Dred Scott decision: Chief Justice Roger B. Taney said “A Black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect.” Then, the natural converse is, “A white man makes no laws a Black man is bound to respect.”
