An open letter to joe scarborough

Dear Joe Scarborough,

The systematic and perpetual oppression of Black Americans is not an issue to be toyed with. Let’s be clear here. This is not just about Mike Brown. Mike Brown, Aiyana Jones, Rekia Boyd, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and so on are examples of how law enforcement is allowed to become judge, jury and executioner when it comes to Black lives. The anger and fury expressed by Black Americans is based on perpetual violence at the hands of law enforcement. To you, the police protect and serve but many of us need protection from the police.

Dear Joe,

Regarding your opinion on the treatment of minorities by law enforcement officials, you suck.

Its the morning programing that is killing MSNBC's ratings. Ok that and going to lockup.

“A cop on the street has one job: to protect the people in that neighborhood. It is not to make a statement that makes prime-time people on MSNBC feel better about America.”

If I need news in the morning I turn to the BBC and Al Jazeera America. Except seems that toadie is going to invade my news rethug-thought free Nirvana. One of the shows on Al Jazeera America will have that turd as a guest to talk about President Obama's legacy.
