AKRON POLICE OFFICERS ON SUNDAY, MARCH 18, 2007 KILLED DEMETRUS RAYSHAWN VINSON, IN WHAT THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL "THAT THEY THE OFFICERS WERE IN DANGER FOR THEIR LIVES" LETS SET THIS RECORD STRAIGHT HEAR AND NOW. THE TWO OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR WERE BOTH UNDER FIVE FEET TALL, THE YOUNG MAN KILLED WAS NOT REACHING FOR A GUN, HE WAS NOT THIS TYPE OF YOUNG MAN, HE HAD NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND HIS PASSENGER WAS A 15 YEAR OLD BLACK MAN. THESE ARE YOUNG ADULTS, IN MY EYES CHILDREN, I KNOW BOTH THE DRIVER AND VICTIM VERY WELL. IT WAS AN OUTRIGHT KILLING BY AKRON POLICE DEPARTMENT WHITE OFFICERS WHO ARE HIDDING KLU KLUX KLAN SHEETS IN THERE LOCKERS! STOP THE DISGUISE THAT YOU ARE WEARING AN LAW ENFORCEMENT BADGE WITH, THESE WHITE OFFICERS ARE OUT TO SIMPLY KILL, CONVICT, INCARCERATE YOUNG BLACK MEN. MANY OF THESE WHITE OFFICERS ARE USING STERIODS THEY ARE THE ONES ON DRUGS. THESE WHITE OFFICERS HAVE INFERIOR COMPLEX DISORDERS, THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO HATE, THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO KILL BLACK MEN, THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE OF A SUPERIOR RACE. THEY ARE NO MORE THAN KKK MEMEBERS AND SKIN HEADS, WHO NEED TO BE SENT TO JAIL FOR THIS CRIME. THIS POLICE FORCE IN AKRON, OHIO NEEDS AN ENEMA STARTING WITH THE POLICE CHIEF ON DOWN, ALSO THE SO CALLED INTERNAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT CONSIST OF TWO OFFICERS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, NO OUTSIDE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. THIS IS A SHAM. THEY CLAIM THE YOUNG MAN WAS REACHING FOR A GUN, THE YOUNG MAN WAS NOT, HE WAS GESTURING TO GET HIS DRIVERS LICENSE WHEN THEY STARTING SHOOTING HIM, THE EYE WITNESS LIVED TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE EYE WITNESS PASSENGER IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD, HE WAS DETAINED BY AKRON POLICE WITHOUT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR 5 HOURS. I BELIEVE HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER HE IS CHANCE BAKER 15 YEARS OLD. THIS AKRON, POLICE DEPARTMENT IS SCANDELOUS ! WE NEED JESSIE JACKSON AND AL SHARPTON AND LOUIS FARAKHAN NOW. IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP CALL 330-773-9564 ASK FOR YVETTE LAST BUT NOT LEAST IF THE JEWS PRAYED AGAINST PHAROAH AND PLAGUES AND CURSES WERE SENT TO THE EYGPTIANS WHY AREN'T WE BLACK PEOPLE PRAYING AGAINST THE OPRRESIVE WHITE PEOPLE, WHO FEEL THE NEED TO LOCK US UP AND KILL US, AND THE EXCUSE OF DRUGS RELATED IS NO LONGER VALID, BECAUSE IF IT IS A WAR ON DRUGS STOP IT AT THE BORDER, IF YOU CAN DETECT A BOMB, YOU CAN DETECT DRUGS AT THE BORDER, STOP USING DRUG WAR AS AN EXCUSE TO CONVICT, INCARCERATE AND KILL US.
