The past year of research has made it very clear: Trump won because of racial resentment (Vox, Dec 15 2017)

German Lopez:

“One paper, published in January by political scientists Brian Schaffner, Matthew MacWilliams, and Tatishe Nteta, found that voters’ measures of sexism and racism correlated much more closely with support for Trump than economic dissatisfaction after controlling for factors like partisanship and political ideology.

Another study, conducted by researchers Brenda Major, Alison Blodorn, and Gregory Major Blascovich shortly before the election, found that if people who strongly identified as white were told that nonwhite groups will outnumber white people in 2042, they became more likely to support Trump. (…)

As a presidential candidate, Trump made all sorts of racist comments — suggesting that Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists, proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, saying a US judge should recuse himself from a case simply because of his Mexican heritage, and deploying dog whistles about “law and order.” (…)

A Kent Police officer shot and killed a 20-year-old Giovonn Joseph-McDade  and all the media decided to remain silent about this case. 

The Des Moines police, who are conducting the investigation into the shooting, say McDade—later identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s office—failed to stop the car he was driving for the officer, then, after the PIT( pursuit intervention technique ), attempted to “ram” one of the officers who responded to the scene.

Friends and family of Giovonn have raised questions about the police narrative, stating that version of events doesn’t match his personality or character.  I won’t be surprised if this is just another case, where police officers are trying to cover the whole thing up. That’s just a typical behavior when they kill another innocent black man. 

We haven’t seen the dashcam footage, we haven’t heard the witnesses, we haven’t even seen the media highlighting this case, so probably there is something to hide.

We demand justice for  Giovonn Joseph-McDade.
