When I got up this morning, the television was already on in the kitchen. I was already churned up before I could even have a cup of tea. They were discussing an issue on the Today Show about a murderer Mumia Abdul Jamal, who shot and killed on the street of Philadelphia the young 25 year old policeman 25 years ago.
The piece of crap has been a cause for the rich and famous to celebrate for a long time. All kinds of Hollywood types think Mumia deserves a new trial, and he has a worldwide following that was protesting outside NBC studios in New York this morning.
They say Mumia was framed, and the police department in Philadelphia was racist. Every year they have a new piece of evidence to prove their point. This year it's new photos. Last year they had someone who heard Officer Faulkner's last words.
Now let me tell you something. I lived in Philadelphia in the early 1980's. It wasn't a pretty place, and the cops had problems.
But Danny Faulkner was young, new, and he hadn't been around long enough to be one of the most feared old cops in grizzled blue thugs. Yeah that time, cops were respected and feared more than the criminals those days.
But for Mumia Abdul Jamal, all the evidence proves he really was the killer who had slain Officer Danny Faulkner in cold blood. Case closed.
The case continues to drag on for 26 long years, long after Mumia Abdul Jamal could have disappeared. Well the cops aren't always right, there were even in fact some cases where cops are just as bad as the junkies. But not here, Danny Faulkner deserves to rest in peace, deserves justice, let's say a prayer that he can have it. We should not forget what he did. He was young, only 25, yet he was determined to save and protect his country from the mooks, yet he risked his life and died in fulfilling his duty.
Let's remember the real story.
