The death of Christopher Robert Hensley in the custody of Fletcher, North Carolina, police is raising new questions about the use of deadly restraint by law enforcement. In this episode of Police Accountability Report, Taya Graham and Stephen Janis talk to independent pathologist Cyril Wecht, who reviewed footage of the arrest, to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Hensley’s death. We ask questions of North Carolina law enforcement officials to learn why cops are still using a tactic that has been widely recognized as both dangerous and deadly.
I think the bottom line here is that liberal media only note cases where the victims are people of color. It’s an issue that is periodically raised, and effectively ignored.
As a white resident of North Carolina, I am responding to this article with the intent to set things a little more in a correct direction.
The ongoing narrative almost always seems to portray blacks as some type of victim.
They are not.
And myself or my ancestors did not, and never did, abuse these people. Same goes for every white person reading this. All this said while I realize that we are all constantly being told otherwise.
Next time that, as a white person, you fall into the white guilt trap; since we are constantly reminded of slavery, also remember the nearly 361, 000 casualties suffered by white people in the northern army trying to help free the black slaves. Maybe all white people above the Mason Dixon line today should be getting some type of ‘monetary reperations’ for their past ancestors’ pain and suffering.
No, as a white resident here in North Carolina, I see, among blacks, the widespread violence, hostility, crime and complete disrespect for themselves and others. These people are not repressed; they are narcissitic. Thank God the police are there to help protect us from these violent offenders that are such a huge proportion of the black community.
Where do they learn those ‘deadly restraints’? Hmmm…
We are allowed to talk about it?
