Basically they see themselves as hunters and us as prey. I feel that no amount of respectability politics is going to change anyone who has been taught to hate us nor will it change us who hate ourselves.

“What’s to say this individual wasn’t performing at a Christmas pageant in the district and was dressed as a reindeer and had taken the reindeer suit off? Again, I don’t mean to make preposterous arguments, but the charges in this case, they warrant that,” he said.
Herbert also compared the photo to an episode of “Seinfeld” in which Jerry is wrongly accused of picking his nose.
Herbert said there was strong evidence in the photo that the African-American man was a “willing participant” and was not coerced to pose with antlers. He even questioned whether the guns were really broomsticks carved to look like weapons.

Yeah, that is preposterous.

No one is saying that the picture wasn't "staged", or even forced for that matter(at least I'm not). I don't see too many brothers walking around with antlers. The pic is the issue, that they treat black males similarly to hunting game...that is the issue.

that they coerced into the photo. I think this is some dumb ass friend of theirs that they got to do it. There are always traitors to the struggle.

Federal prosecutors gave the photo to police investigators in 2013 about two years after Finnigan — the notorious other cop in the picture — was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a crew of rogue cops in robberies, home invasions and other crimes.
