An All-White Jury Clears A Racist White Police Office Of Wrongdoing, Do You See Justice?
Fong Lee, killed by police in North Minneapolis.
Earlier this week we received a comment from someone calling themself “realist” on a posting we did about Fong Lee, a youth who was murdered by police in Minnesota. First of all, “realist” (commenting on this case from Arizona) needs to get his mind right.
We didn’t create this site and put in work so that some apologist for racism, the capitalist court system and police terrorism could come on here and put their skewed perspective forward without being challenged. This is OUR HOUSE, not theirs. I mean, yeah we know the police monitor the site, we check the IP addresses of our visitors, but so far they haven’t left comments (scared?).
This is not a game to us, as I’m sure it is to the commenter. This is real life and we have actually been the victims of police brutality. This is the Battle of Ideas, and we intend to win. Hasta La Victoria Siempre!!!!!!!!
[We will quote the commenter - goes by the name Realist but apparently too afraid to be real enough to post their real name - in red and we'll post in black.]
There are claims that the gun was planted or a “throw-down” gun, but these claims have no merit.
These claims have no merit?! According to who?! “Realist” and an all-white jury, oh yeah don’t forget the police department. Okay.
Many people try to point out the lack of fingerprints, blood, or other residue on the gun linking it to Fong, as if it were some kind of conspiracy. But the people saying this aren’t revealing anything except that they know nothing about forensics. There is a simple explanation for all of this. First, the fingerprints. It is common knowledge in investigative fields that you can NOT lift latent prints from a heavily textured surface. Guess what? The grip of a gun is a HEAVLIY TEXTURED SURFACE, so it is perfectly reasonable that no prints were found. It is simply not possible. Also, the lack of blood can be explained simply by the fact that blood doesn’t spurt everywhere immediately after someone is shot. Unless a major artery is hit, there simply isn’t going to be a lot of blood everywhere, except for where bullets entered and possibly exited the body. People who work in investigations know this, whereas the conspiracy theoroists clearly do not.
First of all, learn how to spell “heavily”… there must be a ‘conspiracy’ against this guy’s spell-check. 2nd of all, what “realist” doesn’t understand is that we’re NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE GUN’S GRIP YOU FOOL. What about the bullets, the shell casings, or any other part of the gun?! There were no fingerprints or DNA evidence on the gun WHATSOEVER. Anyone who follows the news at all knows that criminals are very rarely thorough enough to make sure there are absolutely NO fingerprints anywhere on the gun or shell casings. But “realist” and the others would have us believe Fong Lee is a 19-year-old criminal veteran/mastermind who made sure his weapon had absolutely no fingerprints or DNA. Unbelievable.
Funny though, you might have noticed “realist” left out a minor detail about the gun: it’s origin. This gun was - according to the police’s OWN RECORDS - in the police’s possession. They had found the gun - which had been reported stolen - and never returned it to its rightful owner. Then all of a sudden the gun appears next to Fong Lee’s dead body. Apologists for police terrorism like “realist” probably believe the police when they say it was a paperwork mixup, but those of us who don’t believe everything the police tell us without our own independent thought process might have reason to believe this is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS circumstances.
Also, people like to point out that it is not clearly visible whether or not Fong had a gun in the surveillance video. They say that since the officer’s gun is visible, why isn’t Fong’s gun visible? Once again, this is easily explainable. Minneapolis Police carry large duty weapons, which are NOT meant to be concealed. Fong’s gun however, a SMALL .380 caliber pistol, is TINY in comparison and extremely easy to conceal. It is perfectly reasonable that a large duty gun would be visible in a grainy surveillance video, but a small pistol designed for concealment would not.
We will concede that point, as the video is very grainy and it is possible - though unlikely - that the gun could have been concealed. What apologists like “realist” won’t admit is that there is also a possibility that Fong didn’t have a gun and it could have been planted. To people like “realist” the police could never plant a gun, its impossible for them to be corrupt. We at Malcolm-Che know better than to trust authorities without question.
But you know what is indisputably 100% seen in the video? Fong Lee running at full speed, trying to GET AWAY. At what point do the apologists for police terrorism feel that the young Fong Lee transforms from a running away 19-year-old to the hardened criminal they make him out to be, the hardened criminal that turns around and tries to have a shoot out with the cop?! Where is the motive for Fong Lee to have a shoot out when as a 19-year-old he most certainly could have evaded the cop on a foot chase and lived another day? We have NO REASON to believe that Fong Lee was the hardened criminal attempted cop killer that they want us to think he is. We’re talking about a 19 year old who was riding his bicycle with friends next to a school. Not exactly what you picture when thinking of a cop killer.
Another issue people complain about is the number of shots used to take down Fong. People who complain about this clearly have ZERO knowledge of handgun ballistic/effectiveness and the law regarding use of deadly force. First, police officers and private citizens with carry permits are taught that if their life, or the life of another is threatened, to shoot and continue shooting at center mass until the threat is gone. Even if the suspect has fallen the the ground but still has control of a weapon or is trying to reach a weapon, deadly force is still allowed under law, and rightfully so. A suspect with a handgun, or even reaching for a handgun, is clearly a deadly threat.
Second, handguns are notoriously poor “fight stoppers.” There are numerous records of suspects who have been shot MANY more times than Fong was, and lived to tell the tale. You will also notice I said they are trained to shoot at CENTER MASS (the chest.) Some people have said he should have tried shooting Fong in the leg, which is ridiculous Hollywood non-sense. Shooting at a narrow target like a leg is incredibly difficult, even if the target is immobile and and at close range. People who suggest that watch too many movies, and clearly have never shot a gun, especially under stressful conditions.
There is so much more I could add, but I think this is more than enough for now. Until people understand what I have written here, they really aren’t informed enough to participate in a debate like this.
“Realist” is so filled with self-righteousness its disgusting. He pics and chooses what to address and what not to address. He’s blinded by his loyalty to this police state, never having questioned any official story in his life. While he’s busy trying to justify the murder of this 19-year-old he loses all compassion for other human beings. To “realist” it doesn’t matter that Fong was brutally murdered and pumped full of bullets, to him every single bullet was justified. When Fong Lee was on the ground - already shot 3 times - the cop pumped 5 more into him. He didn’t just want to incapacitate Fong Lee, he wanted to murder him. It wasn’t until Fong Lee was totally motionless and dead on the ground that the cop was done.
What “realist” won’t look at is the issue of RACISM. He never mentioned the fact that the cop is white or that the jury was all white. To him, racism doesn’t exist in this case at all. He finds no need to even mention it once, not even to argue against it. An all-white jury finds a white cop innocent of murdering Fong Lee, and to “realist” and his ilk justice has been done!! Could it be because.. hmmmm…. “realist” is white? Because if “realist” was keeping it real he’d have to admit that the all-white jury, white judge and white prosecutor all conspired to make sure the jury never heard that the police officer Jason Andersen made two verifiable racist comments, once about Asian people (see the article in this post). But the jury never heard all that, and “realist” isn’t real enough to address it. Even though racism permeates this case from start to finish, some people can’t see racism even when its right in front of their eyes.
So the all-white jury heard that Fong Lee was a gang member, slandering his name and making him look like a gun-toting criminal… but they were barred from hearing that his murderer was a racist who hated Asians. But to “realist,” this doesn’t even warrant a comment.
And what about the angelic police officer (Jason Andersen) who murdered Fong Lee? Well, he was just in the news for beating up a woman.
What a great guy… sexist and racist. But that is the hero that “realist” worships, on the altar of brutality and death that the police impose upon minorities and ghettoes across America and the world.
FONG LEE REST IN PEACE!!! WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY AND THE APOLOGISTS WHO REFUSE TO SEE IT!!
