What the media won’t be showing you.

People wearing gags gather in central Moscow on April 24, 2015 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide.

NEW VIDEO RELEASED OF MENTALLY ILL MAN TASED TO DEATH IN POLICE CUSTODY FOR “SAGGING PANTS”

On November 26, 2013, 38 year old Ervin Edwards, partially deaf and mentally ill, was arrested by police for sagging his pants and taken to the West Baton Rouge Parish jail in Louisiana. He only lived for a few more minutes inside of the cell.

For 18 months, police have lied over and over again about what happened the night Ervin Edwards died in their custody. Now that a video of their despicable actions has been released, ( Warning very tough to watch ) it’s clear they murdered this man and left him to die all alone in his jail cell. 

Here are the 5 things you need to know:

The Video Shows an Officer Held a Taser on Him for 1 Minute, Contradicting Earlier Claims

Edwards Was Left Alone & Unresponsive in the Cell for 10 Minutes Before He Was Given Medical Aid

An Internal Review Found No criminal wrongdoing by the Officers

His Girlfriend Told Officers He Had Health Issues That Could Make the Use of a Taser Fatal

A Corrections Expert Said the Video is ‘One of the Worst Things I’ve Seen’

On April 24, 1915, exactly 100 years ago today, the Armenian Genocide began.

The mass liquidation of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire was brought to fruition by the Young Turk government. At least 80% of the Armenian Ottoman population was marched to the Syrian desert and perished.

Turkey has denied the genocide’s existence ever since. Today, it is still an unrecognized event. Obama has officially stated he will not recognize it as a genocide to secure ties with Turkey, and many other countries follow suit. 

On the eve of World War II, Hitler justified his own similar actions by stating, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” The denial of the Armenians inspired Hitler’s own genocidal Holocaust, and every genocide after.
