Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Europe is reeling from the latest racist mass murder. Nine people were gunned down at shisha bars in a small town near Frankfurt in Germany. A 43-year-old man left a note at his home to explain his motives. He also killed his own mother before taking his own life. While the investigation at the scene continues, questions are being asked about how such a massacre can take place. The spotlight falls on the rise of the far right, an increase in racist rhetoric and hate attacks. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/germany-shooting-gunman-kills-nine-in-suspected-racist-attack

A disturbing video of a homeless man getting punched repeatedly by cops has made its rounds on social media and now people are looking for answers. ______________________________________________________________ According to an arrest report obtained by WDRB, officers were called to the parking garage at the PNC Tower in downtown Louisville, around 9 a.m. Tuesday, after someone reported that a man was harassing people and causing a disturbance. From there, cops say they found a security guard holding 29-year-old Foussene Pemba in a bear hug. Apparently, security employees told cops that they tried to escort Pemba off the property, but he became combative and was not able to remove him. Police tried to put Pemba in handcuffs, but he reportedly put his hands in front of his waist. ______________________________________________________________ They also claim Pemba swung at one of the cops who retaliated with at least a dozen punches to his head.
