White man threatens to kill police, knocks one out, sends two to the hospital, injures 7 officers
This is the definition of white privilege.
“The defendant rolled down the window and said ‘I know why you stopped me.’ The defendant then made reference to the events in Ferguson, Missouri,” according to the criminal complaint.
Joseph Parker, 34, in a wild rant, threatened to kill police, then pounced, police said. He punched 57-year-old Lt. Jeremian Goodwin, knocking him out.
From the overnight scene to lockup, Parker allegedly injured seven officers. The police chief says the man battled, nearly breaking the metal detector.
In the meantime, be black and:
Sell cigarettes, get killed
Play at a park, get killed
Shop at Walmart, get killed
Walk with friends, get killed
Go down the stairs, get killed
Come home from work, get killed
In all of those cases, and in hundreds more like them, unarmed African Americans who posed no physical threat to police were killed by law enforcement.
Yet this man, Joseph Parker, injured seven police officers and sent two to the hospital?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is your America.
Fetty Wap Just Broke A Billboard Sales Record
Things are going pretty well for Fetty Wap at this point. The New Jersey rapper/singer just announced that his debut album is right around the corner, we already know another Drake collaboration is in the works, he’s also apparentlysneaking into the high fashion world, and now he’s got a new Billboard sales record under his belt as well.
According to Billboard, Fetty is the first artist ever to have his first four charting singles concurrently in the Top 10 of the Hot Rap Songs chart. It’s been more than 25 years since the chart was created and while other rappers have held as many simultaneously singles in the Top 10, nobody has ever done it with their initially charting songs. For reference, right now Fetty is at No. 2 with “Trap Queen,” No. 3 with “My Way,” No. 5 with the Remy Boyz-featuring “679,” and No. 8 with his just added “Again.” In 2009 T.I. achieved a similar feat with four singles in the Top 10 including tracks like “Live Your Life” and “Swagga Like Us,” and other artists like 50 Cent, Drake, and Lil Wayne have counted just as many simultaneous hits, but Fetty has apparently had a stronger commercial start than all the rest. We’ll have to wait and see if the album rollout earns him another one.
Just me and my thoughts :)
