WATCH: CNN busted exploiting ‘angry black man’ image to evoke Tulsa racial ‘unrest’, but he’s a TRUMP voter and NOT Angry!

CNN aired images during Anderson Cooper’s show last night teasing the idea of huge conflict and racial unrest in the city of Tulsa over President Trump’s rally. But the man in one of the “angry” photos showed up on RSBN’s broadcast and totally BUSTED the folks at CNN for their exploitation.

In the CNN clip (screenshot above) Cooper is going to commercial and teasing the next segment. Both the lead-in story, and the segment he is teasing are about race, and the context is racial unrest in Tulsa over Trump’s rally and Juneteenth and the recent protests.

Here is that clip.

Now here is the bit that the Right Side Broadcasting Network caught. The man from the photo is a community activist and Trump voter named Bruce Carter, and while being interviewed by RSBN’s Liz Willis, he pulled out the image of the CNN broadcast on his phone.

Watch:

He got an award from President Obama, he works to better communities and foster conversation, he voted for Trump, and CNN exploited his image.

Epic.

This part of the interview is also very interesting. Let’s hope his name goes viral and Trump sees it.

What a great interview.

The widespread riots that have ensued after the killing of George Floyd have not only caused irreparable damage to property, but they’ve taken the lives of at least 17 Americans.

Some of the victims were either former or current law enforcement or innocent bystanders trying to get home or protect their business.

Those who have died so far during the riots:

David Dorn (77): Died protecting Lee’s Pawn Jewelry from looters. He was a retired St. Louis Police officer who served the force for 38 years. He was shot in the torso by suspected rioters and died in the middle of the street.

Barry Perkins (29): Died after he was run over by a FedEx tractor-trailer in St. Louis. After being stopped by two men with guns, the driver feared for his life, honked the horn and sped away, unaware that Perkins was stuck on the converter dolly between the two trailers.

David McAtee (53): Died from a gunshot wound while serving food at his restaurant, Yaya’s BBQ Shack, in Louisville. Someone in the crowd allegedly shot at National Guard officers during a protest. They returned fire, leaving McAtee dead shortly after midnight.

Dorian Murrell (18): Was shot and killed by Tyler Newby, 29, in Indianapolis. Newby was approached by Murrell and nine other men after Newby found a gas canister. The group asked him what he had found and pushed Newby to the ground. He pulled out his gun and shot Murrell, who was standing over him. Newby immediately turned himself in.

Italia Kelly (22): Was shot and killed during a protest in Iowa. Her family said she was protesting peacefully before the demonstrations devolved to violence. The shooter has not been identified.

Marquis M. Tousant (23): Was shot and killed in Iowa. Police found a semi-automatic handgun underneath Tousant’s body. He was also seen in a video standing outside a jewelry store with a gun the same night he was killed.

Calvin L. Horton Jr. (43): Was fatally shot near the police department’s Third Precinct in Minneapolis. He is believed to be the first death since the protests began.

James Scurlock (22): Was fatally shot by a bar owner during a physical altercation in Omaha. The shooter, Jake Gardner, was determined to have acted in self-defense.

Victor Cazares (27): Was shot and killed in Chicago during a riot. A town spokesperson said the shootings were a result of “outside agitators who were driving through Cicero seeking to cause trouble.”

Patrick Underwood (53): Was gunned down by drive-by shooters reportedly targeting uniformed officers. Underwood was an officer in the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service. He was standing guard outside the U.S. Courthouse in Oakland.

Jorge Gomez (25): Was shot and killed by Las Vegas police during riots near the state’s federal courthouse. Gomez, wearing body armor and armed with three weapons, raised his gun toward officers before being fatally shot.

Chris Beaty (38): Was reportedly shot and killed near his apartment building in Indianapolis, according to local media reports. Beaty was a former offensive lineman for Indiana University and a prominent businessman who owned several nightclubs.

Marvin Francois (50): Was shot and killed in Kansas City by three black men who were trying to steal his Jeep. Francois was a photographer who was documenting the protests. He was shot three times and died at the scene.

Black Professor Speaks Out About Being Racially Profiled Near Campus

BLACK VOICES

“A lot of my life has been organized around avoiding interactions with the police.”

Steve Locke, an assistant professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, was left shaken after he was racially profiled by the police last week during his lunch break.

Locke, who wrote about his experience on his blog, recounted to HuffPost Live’s Alyona Minkovski on Wednesday that on his way to get a burrito near campus, he noticed a police car following him.

“The policeman got out of the car, said, ‘Hey, my man,’” Locke said. “He had his hand on his weapon, so I automatically knew that something had happened and he wasn’t coming to talk to me as a citizen. He was coming to talk to me as a suspect.”

Wearing his faculty ID around his neck, Locke immediately took his hands out of his pockets while the officer questioned him. The professor made it clear he was on his lunch break, but the officer — along with others who had showed up to the scene — detained Locke, telling him he matched the description of a suspected robber in the area.

“It was at this moment that I knew that I was probably going to die,” Locke wrote on his blog. “I am not being dramatic when I say this. I was not going to get into a police car. I was not going to present myself to some victim. I was not going let someone tell the cops that I was not guilty when I already told them that I had nothing to do with any robbery.”

Locke calmly stood still on the street corner alongside the police before being let go, sent away with apologies from the police for “screwing up your lunch break,” he wrote. But the experience recalled a lifetime of awareness about police profiling and violence.

“I am 52 years old. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan,” he explained to HuffPost Live. “A lot of my life has been organized around avoiding interactions with the police, but whenever I encounter the police, I understand that I’m encountering them differently than other citizens.”
