Recall that Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated on April 4, 1968 and was followed only 2 months later by the assassination of then democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy on June 6, 1963. Kennedy had run on a platform of racial and economic justice, non-aggression in foreign policy, decentralization of power and social change. When he declared his candidacy on March 16, 1968 he said “I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and because I have such strong feelings about what must be done, and I feel that I'm obliged to do all I can.” Kennedy had attended King's funeral and was described as being the "only white politician to hear only cheers and applause."
With Kennedy out of the way, lying REPUBLICAN Richard Nixon then became the president in 1968 and instead declared a domestic racist war on Black people using domestic police to terrorize black people and it has been going on ever since.
As John Ehrlichman, Nixon White House Domestic Affairs Advisor admitted:

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.

So this systematic war on minorities comes all the way from the top. Think of how many millions of people have been terrorized and killed here in America in the past 48 years as a result of this government sanctioned domestic terrorism.
And overseas everyone knows most recently that lying REPUBLICAN president George W. Bush lied to America to have our military police start terrorizing with Iraq and expand from there. And George W. Bush could not have been happier at the Dallas Police Memorial on July 12 2016 where he was literally dancing with joy to see that the jihad he started overseas was finally taking root in America. He could not even conceal his delight while standing by Obama thinking that soon lying REPUBLICAN Donald J. Trump will be in office and will finally make their dreams of a supremacist REPUBLICAN jihad in America come true.
Sooner than you think, everyone will be a suspect terrorist; especially if you criticize Trump; especially if you are the media or a minority.
And few know that in 2011 Russia reorganized their local police forces, centralizing them in to one massive organization that is now centrally controlled under one authority. We know Trump admires Putin and that sounds exactly like what Trump would want- one federal civilian police force that he controls. That would make it much easier to resume torture and expand the torture program here in America.
Trump has already said that he doesn’t think Bush tortured enough! And that he would immediately resume waterboarding and use techniques that would be worse! And what could be worse than a domestic Police Torture program? By Trump’s logic, torture would work equally well here in the states and, following former REPUBLICAN President Bush’s lead, Trump will have his newly appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions fabricate the legal justification for it.
We note how the system always tries to portray their racism as a few bad cops but there are endless examples of entire departments acting in unison to falsely convicting minorities; ENTIRE DEPARTMENTS. We read about these accounts all the time such as old DNA evidence exonerating people framed by the racist legal system. Entire departments at every level often had to hide exculpatory evidence, doctor crime lab evidence, and coerce false witnesses in order to orchestrate these convictions, so it was not just one bad cop, the bad cops conspiracy has been systemic including most any major police departments: Houston, Colorado, Detroit, Phildelphia (link).
And sooner than you think, all these racist police departments will be centralized in to one massive organization- like Russia’s- that is now centrally controlled under one megalomaniac: Trump, who will start the Republican war on minorities all over again.
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
