I repeat... Do not burn the Bronx... Do not burn Manhattan... Do not burn Brooklyn... And don't burn Queens!

A picture can tell a thousand stories and every time I look at a picture of Detective Michael Oliver I see arrogance, deceit, mistrust, dishonesty, treachery and every other word that defines everything that is wrong with humanity.

But most of all I see the same thing Sean Bells parents saw for months... an undeniable lack of remorse on the part of boy Michael Oliver.

I've failed to see a picture of this guy with a concerned look on his face, he is always smiling at the cameras and he reminds me of all the cops who used to snatch up me and my crew, shove our faces into the brick walls of project buildings or bang our faces onto the hot hoods of cars in the summer months for no other reason than we were a bunch of niggas and spic standing on the corner looking "suspicious."

Yeah... I have no doubt Michael Oliver was that kind of cop.

This is the same loose cannon that once put a cab drivers face through a windshield because he failed to move out of Oliver's way fast enough. The case was settled by the city for $10,000; Oliver never had to admit wrongdoing.

This is the same officer of the law who was known as "Undercover Mike," on the Chelsea club circuit. I know these guys personally. I hung out with one a few weeks ago in the Bronx. The kind of cop who drinks way to much, shoves his way through the crowd because he's legally packing a gun and drives off way to fast in his car knowing even if he gets pulled over, he's good... Knowing even if he kills someone he's good...

Why wouldn't he be? He has blue blood running through his veins and is part of a brotherhood that protects his own. He is part of a system that is designed to serve justice to "just us," meaning just them.

I saw remorse on the faces of Detectives Gescard Isnora and Detective Marc Cooper. Maybe it's because at the end of the day they know that in many places in the country and in this world they are still considered nothing more than platano eating, friend chicken eating minorities...

But their brother Oliver... Now he's a different story. Society has taught this clown that no matter what kind of atrocious acts he commits against humanity there will only be one verdict for him... AQUITTED!!!!

Not to worry my people. He'll be judged by a much higher power one day... And I believe that judge will see no color standing before him. That judge will not honor the falsity of a brotherhood code that goes against human rights. That judge will bring back a different verdict... one that bestows the title Oliver deserves... the title of MURDERER!!!

No need to set fire to our communities... No justice will be served this way. But one day justice will be served!

(Does this look like the face of someone with remorse?)
