As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “End U.S. Wars and Occupations,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"True leaders work for peace." "The greatest purveyor of violence in the world: my own government, I cannot be silent." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

“True leaders work for peace.” “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world: my own government, I cannot be silent.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

My Commentary: Indeed!

“Just. Doing. [Their]. Job[s].”

My Commentary: ‎Psychopaths Rule the World… Most individuals don’t seem to mind too much, though, so long as they can vote on which one will do the oppressing, and to which group of innocents… *sigh* As violent forces continue to force violent “choices” onto humanity, when will we finally and fully reject their vicious cycle of oppression and brutality?

I originally posted the following information and commentary here, onto my Facebook page, “American Fascism, Exposed,” then promptly shared it to my own Facebook wall…

Officer Jerad Wheeler finally under investigation, after being accused of kicking a 9-month pregnant woman in the belly

Officer FINALLY Investigated After Kicking 9-Month Pregnant Woman in Belly:

(Jodie Fleischer) Channel 2 Action News has learned a DeKalb County police officer is under criminal investigation for allegedly kicking a pregnant woman in the stomach, then charging her with obstruction of a police officer.

Records show the department never investigated the incident and five supervising officers signed off on the officer’s actions.

“I was upset because I couldn’t believe an officer would kick me, with my child in my stomach,” Raven Dozier told investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer.

Dozier was nearly nine months pregnant and helping to calm down her brother who was arguing with police. They used a Taser on him, and she cried out.

That’s when Officer Jerad Wheeler used what he described in his report as “a front push-kick to the abdomen, as he was taught to do at the academy.”

Johnny B.: why’d they beat this poor fellow?

Nali M.: watch the vid 😕

Nali M.: I couldn’t watch the whole thing

Robert C.: Since this guy is white and his father was a cop maybe someone will do time. But don’t hold your breath….

Rayn: Because he was uncooperative with efforts to question and search him by officers, John. Though he was non-combative, they responded with naked aggression and brutality, as you can see.

I noticed the cop connection, too, Robert when I was reading about it a few days ago. I thought to myself, “looks like they beat the wrong homeless schizophrenic man to death, this time.” I most definitely believe that this crime might never have made it to the news, aside from the fact that Kelly Thomas’ father is a retired police officer father, who likely went ALL OUT to expose his son’s killers. Keep in mind that the tape evidence we all now see came AFTER the charges were successfully pressed. In other words, it was discovered during the course of an investigation that might otherwise have never happened…

I’m still wondering, though… Just how many crimes are these murdering cops actually guilty of, aside from the beating death of Kelly Thomas? It would be foolish to assume that the one time a criminal gets caught is the first and only time they did a crime… Every arrest they ever made, and every accusation of police brutality against them ever reported should be examined thoroughly, now…
