White trooper says he had to run over a Black suspect.

A White South Carolina state trooper accused of deliberately running down a Black suspect with his cruiser says the crash was “an unavoidable accident.” (See the video for yourself) As for bragging later that he hit the suspect on purpose, Lance Corporal Steven Garren says he regrets doing that, The Associated Press reports. Garren is facing federal charges of depriving suspect Marvin Grant of his civil rights. In a video of the collision, Garren is heard telling a deputy he was “trying to hit” his suspect. He says while he did make the statement, it wasn’t true and that it was “dumb” and “stupid” to do so, AP reports. Garren’s trial is the first of two federal civil rights cases to come from a spate of police videos that showed questionable tactics by South Carolina troopers (see here). The videos have drawn scrutiny from the NAACP and the state’s Legislative Black Caucus, which helped bring the tapes to the public’s attention.

Comment by Ty Nitty on October 5, 2008 at 6:25pm: They still fly the confederate flag at the state capitol, but allot of us still go to the bike rally and give them craccers alot of our money. The Carolina's are the most racist states in the U.S. contrary to popular belief. Half of these craccers still think that Jim Crow shit gone work on the new millenium niggas. They still have plantations in America too, it's called the pen. We ought to start a clan and start terrorizing they ass. What happened to our 40 acres and a mule anyway? We ought to ride for that, these craccers got our land and made millions off of it, and then wanna make our life a living hell while they live a life of luxory.

Comment by JABBAR M on October 6, 2008 at 8:28am: Yeah I do feel you on that one for real sim KARMA is a bitch that's why the US is in a big crisis now and it's only going to get worse 4real 4real. Things only go but for so long before destruction takes place, Do know OBAMA have them mad as "HELL" hopefully he can make big changes. Even though the changes will have to come among ourselves towards one another the Hate,Jealousy, all the shit that the JIM CROW & WILLY LYNCH dude implanted in our 4fathers minds some time ago. Some of us has over come...but on the real that shit is really working among & within our society. They are using it in the new generation but in a diffrent format alot of us don't want to open our eyes and realize what's going on. 40 acres & a mule? Yeah...blame Al Sharpton for speaking for us; now we aint really going to get $%%^ even though those crackers wasn't going to do it in the 1st place. Have us in the projects struggling living in distress instead of coming together we are turning on one another killing,stealing, and all other dumb shit gang. Someone made a statement terrorize them that's what needs to happen "BLACK PANTHER" need to come back & stand out strong. Most of the goverment is white and running the shit to keep us and other minorities down, yeah some of us have good jobs,education, lil more $$$ in the bank w/proper investments but at the end of the day it's still a WHITE MAN society and they are only going to let us get to a certain level and only but so much ahead of them. Having us to think if I do or say the wrong thing I'm going to end up loosing all of this. We live in a fuck up society some of it is on us w/our do's and acts and some is just them fucking w/us and allowing us to succeed to higher heights being along w/them. All our African American Celebs they are trying so hard to knock down and stripping them from everything they've earn, let it be one of them get's throwed underneath the rug and kept quiet....Fuck AMERIKKA ALLDAY....
