Casper Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2010/11/aiyana-stanley-jones-detroitI'd be interested hearing more about this. Supposedly SWAT was being filmed for an A&E show. They allegedly jumped the gun, used way too excessive force, and killed a 7yr old girl.

NinjaNick Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 F'd up for sure.I hate Al Sharptons racist ass and the woman saying he's full of shit made me smile. The Rev. Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy, though his heart did not seem to be in it. It was a white cop who killed the girl, but Detroit is America's largest black city with a black mayor and a black chief of police. The sad and confusing circumstances of the murders of Je'Rean Blake and Officer Huff, both black, robbed Sharpton of some of his customary indignation."We're here today not to find blame, but to find out how we never have to come here again," said Sharpton, standing in the grand pulpit. "It's easy in our anger, our rage, to just vent and scream. But I would be doing Aiyana a disservice if we just vented instead of dealing with the real problems."He went on: "This child is the breaking point."Aiyana's pink-robed body was carried away by a horse-drawn carriage to the Trinity Cemetery, the same carriage that five years earlier had taken the body of Rosa Parks to Woodlawn Cemetery on the city's West Side. Once at Aiyana's graveside, Charles Jones released a dove.Sharpton left and the Rev. Horace Sheffield, a local version of Sharpton, got stiffed for $4,000 in funeral costs, claiming Aiyana's father made off with the donations people gave to cover it."Sharpton's full of shit," said Je'Rean's mother. "He came here for publicity. What the hell you doing up here for? The kids are dropping like flies and he's got nothing but useless words."
