Actively highlight the troll. He demonstrates why riots are occurring.

Months before (early March), police busted into the apartment of an innocent person at 1 AM without even announcing themselves. Since they were not wearing body cameras, little from officer statements can be trusted. They claimed they announced themselves. Facts suggest they are lying. After firing a warning shot at the door, Kenneth Walker was on the phone for two minutes with 911, reporting his girl friend (an EMT) was shot, asking for help, and repeatedly saying he did not know who had busted into his house and fired back. Clearly the Louisville Metro Police did not identify themselves for at least two minutes. And fired into that room through a closed door - a violation.

Why? Because a package, addressed to some other person, was delivered to that address. That justifies a violent raid? He was a black man.

Worse, Walker was charged for two and a half months with a crime. Not any police were charged or even reprimanded. Walker was arrested and charged two months ago for defending himself. Officers should have been wearing body cameras. Did not announce themselves. Clearly did not let Walker know who they were for many minutes. Fired blindly through a closed door. Withheld the 911 tapes for about two months. And only withdrew charges after the FBI starting an investigation about ten days ago. Clearly nobody, even at the highest levels, was being responsible until the Federal Government had to step in.

What does that say about the 'unheard'? Clearly the unheard are saying this remains rampant everywhere in America.

Well the 'powers that be' finally withdrew charges only days after the FBI stepped in. Did they need a riot to eventually admit the obvious? Officers were not even reprimanded for obviously violating procedure.

But too late for America. This is but one example. Police clearly failed to do their job. Reacted by violating what they are trained to do: think before reacting - as any adult must. Since Kenneth Walker is black, that only created more incentives for "the unheard".

Problem openly encouraged by repeated Trump statements (who Sexobon praises). Since Trump encourages what right wing extremists want. So fearful are these extremists that Trump was taken to a secure bunker due to so many demonstrators outside complaining about Trump's racism.

Never forget that he praised Nazis, White Supremacist, and KKK - because that makes him popular. Only right wing wackos like that - and Trump.
