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.

BALTIMORE—Baltimore State attorney Marilyn Mosby and the Baltimore State Attorney’s Office decided to drop all charges against the three remaining cops charged with murdering 25-year-old African Freddie Gray on July 27, 2016.

BATON ROUGE—Three Baton Rouge cops were killed and three more injured, one critically, on Sunday morning of July 17, 2016.

The person that the cops say was responsible for the shooting was an African man named Cosmo Ausar Setepenra. Ruling class media still calls Cosmo by his birth name, Gavin Eugene Long.

Cosmo was martyred by Baton Rouge cops, but not before first taking out three of theirs.

The incident started at about 8:40 a.m. EST. Baton Rouge cops received a call that a man wearing all black and wearing a black ski mask was walking alongside a road while carrying an assault rifle.

Two minutes later, the pigs made contact with the African man that we now know to be Cosmo. It was then that the shootout began.

NEW YORK—Ramsey Orta, the 24-year-old man who videotaped the murder of Eric Garner by NYPD, will now be serving a 4-year prison sentence.

Ramsey has been hounded and harassed by NYPD ever since he recorded them choking Eric Garner to death on July 17, 2014.

The terrible impact that slavery has had on the continent of Africa cannot be calculated: the destruction of magnificent civilizations, the break-up of family and kinship circles, the massive depopulation, forced impoverishment, famine and starvation, the ravishing of an environment which had been so conducive to human civilization for millennia. From open, educated, prosperous and democratic societies, African people now lived in sheer terror, never knowing when their village or town would be raided for human loot by these white invaders.
