The Sherman Park area, specifically an 8-block area had 6 businesses burned, with no injuries. They attempted to burn BMO Bank but it was put out quite rapidly. The cause was another Black male was shot by another fearful policeman, who happened to be Black, the story that's being spun is that he had a loaded gun in hand and would not put it down. This all follows about 4-6 Black males being shot by police, and about 7-8 Black males sodomized w/nightsticks on the open street, with the excuse of looking for "drugs". If I remember correctly only 1 lost his job. The county is just now paying settlement in that case.
Some of the youth here are extremely frustrated at the lack of resources, the arts, gym, and Humanities have been removed from the schools for over 10 -yrs. Moody Pool which was on Burleigh was closed, and razed, the next hardship offered is they will be charging a dollar an hour to park at the lake front, or a $40.00 annual permit. A place that helped to squelch some tempers due to the heat, another attempt to push out the other.
Yes, we the innocent have been victims of Black on Black crime, and also driving while Black. Thank you for checking on me, much appreciated.
