Cleveland, OH—The mother of Tamir Rice, Samaria Rice had this to say about the United States’ first Negro president, Barack Hussein Obama:

DALLAS—At the tail end of a demonstration against police violence on July 7, 2016 in downtown Dallas, Texas gunshots rang out, police ran for cover and some of them fell to the ground, mortally wounded as pandemonium swept the streets. 

The Dallas protests centered around the July 5th caught-on-camera police murder of 37-year-old Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the caught-on-camera and narrated police murder of 32-year-old Philando Castile in a St. Paul, Minnesota suburb on July 6, 2016.

We were later to learn that an African, 26-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, a Dallas resident would show the world that Africans too, are capable of having a military response to the military occupation of the African community by the militarized colonial violence of U.S. police agencies who are murdering our people in an effort of containment and terror.
