Hii, I took a tram to Roosevelt Island in Manhattan for the very first time yesterday and it was not as scary as I thought it would be. Today I’m sharing my feelings about the police killing Niani Finlayson, a Black woman who called for their assistance. Onto the news…
News that made me say we need to abolish the state
A state-sponsored murderer, Ty Shelton from the Los Angeles sheriff’s department (LASD), murdered a Black woman, Niani Finlayson, in her home. Niani called the sheriff’s office to save her from her abusive ex-partner. I call Ty Shelton a state-sponsored murderer because Ty previously murdered a Black man in his home proving that if you aspire to be a serial killer, the best career choice for you is to be a state-sponsored murderer aka cop.
Serial killers’ greatest concern is being arrested for killing people. However, if you are a state-sponsored murderer, you don’t have to be worried about your passion being interrupted by an arrest. Your crimes can be caught on camera and not only do you not get arrested, but you also get to keep your job. An additional perk is that the government also pays for your murder weapon and supplies your victims.
Niani Finlayson was murdered right next to her daughter by Ty Shelton because Ty Shelton is a murderer who has contempt for Black people. I say this with full confidence because the gang which Ty Shelton was recruited into has a history of harming Black women. According to The Guardian, “In June, a [LASD] deputy was filmed throwing a woman to the ground outside a store, and the LASD released footage the following month showing a deputy punching a woman in the face as she held her newborn.” You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together. The LASD feather is pure racism paid for by Los Angeles tax dollars.
The LASD being racist isn’t a surprise to anyone who knows about policing in the so-called United States of America. Racism is the main ingredient of every single police department in the country like sugar is the main ingredient in sugar cookies. Without sugar, sugar cookies wouldn’t exist, which would be really sad because I love them. Without racism, police in what’s called the United States of America wouldn’t exist, which would make me very happy because I hate them. The police were literally created to hunt down and enslave Black people so can we please abolish them already?
The only way to end these heartbreaking murders by state-sponsored murderers is to get the state to stop sponsoring them. The state paying for the police is like the state paying Jefferey Dahmer. Most of Jefferey Dahmer’s victims were Black and that’s why he got away with killing so many people. I’m surprised the Milwaukee police arrested him instead of giving him a badge or making him the head of police.
The state is obviously not going to willingly stop sponsoring murderers because these murderers help maintain the racial-socioeconomic hierarchy that pays for Bill Gates’ ugly khakis. You know the people who work for Bill Gates hate him because no one cares enough to tell him his khakis are unsightly. Bill Gates and other capitalists pay the politicians who run the state. Hence, the only way to get the state to stop paying our murderers is to abolish the state.
That’s it for the news, but don’t go yet
