Westland MIchigan Police Department: The White Privilege Department

Westland Michigan is a "All American" city neighboring the city I live in. Westland is a mostly white middle class liberal city with a deep long history of bigotry toward black citizens that live in surrounding cities that shop and work in westland..this bigotry is mostly dealt out by the police department..No surprise there right..

What prompted me to write about the #MAGA city was two incidents that took place within the past two week. and how i feel race played a part in the decision making of the policemen involved. 




22 yr old Justin Jay Paul stabbed his 50 yr old mother to death. the family states he is bipolar and he and his mother never had any problems...After Justin stabbed her three times in the neck, he ran out of the house..A short time later he was spotted by the police. Here's where the privilege kicks.. the police stated that....

"There was some sort of altercation between the suspect and officers that led to the man being shot in the leg by police." 

That's right people.. as you can see from the picture..he fought them and they put hands on him, then he was shot in the leg...not the chest...no the back or head.. And lives to tell and smile about 

Now we don't even have to say it..if he was black........This dude just killed his mother brutally yet they still showed his respect enough not to end his life while attacking them...I guess they was not in fear of him

Just a week ago the very same police department let this Black Man die in jail cell for something far less than murder.   William Marshall, 35, was taken to Westland jail December 10th a Sunday for DUI suspended licence  and drug possession. Pretty average stuff most American men get arrested for but for a black man could mean a blood sacrifice..an extermination.

Hours later Mr.Marshall started to fall ill due to alleged cocaine he ingested prior to the arrest. A man in the cell with him stated that he begin to have seizures so he and other cellmates started calling for help. This is the moment where the disregard for person's life began. The anonymous cellmate said that the paramedic wanted to take him to the nearest hospital which is virtually up the road. but a sadistic Police Sergeant prevented them from taking Mr. Marshall. The Sergeant told them






"You're not taking him anywhere he can go back in his cell,"




Then came the moment the cellmate stated caused him to lose sleep. He said Mr. Marshall clung to the cell door and was begging to be taken to the hospital.
"They repeatedly kicked his hands until they came off."
Mr. Marshall eventually stopped moving and was unresponsive..An hour had passed before they  returned to check on him..by then it was to late..

And there you have it.. two cases at the same department..one a involving someone that killed and the other involving bad decision making and legal and illegal drug use..the difference is the one will have a trail and be judged by jury of  twelve on other was left to die and will be carried by six of his friend and family to his final resting spot.

Now what do you think.. is this a case favoritism on one hand, then a case blatant bigotry and abuse of power on the other..comment below let me know your thoughts..
