Now This A Start!

I say a lot of things that people say are irresponsible but I dont say things that could get people killed if they follow what I say. Problem is that on a story that was done by me earlier on the news reporter who was fired for speaking about black single mothers and how this condition contributes to violence & crime, a woman featured in it said some remarks that could get a bunch of black men killed!

The woman who made the remarks her name is Angelique Campbell and after her husband was gunned down in the streets by New Jersey Cops, she felt it was up to her to remind the world that she wishes her husband had taken out more cops before he was shot.  See her husband had already killed a rookie cop named Melvin Santiago who was just responding to a call or robbery at a local walgreens when he was shot in the head by her husband Lawrence or as she called him LA LA!  Here we go!

Lets be 100 percent honest for one second here, this woman looks like a dayum man in the face period!

What makes this story so disturbing to me is how quick the black women were to jump up in defense of the man who took an innocent mans life.  They said hes not a monster and even went out to give a memorial to him and blame the police.

Hold up, this man kills a cop but they are surprised that cops finished him off?  Hell I am surprised that when cops kill innocent blacks we dont retailiate in kind but then that goes to show you which group is weak and which isnt.   Now we have the bloods gangs looking to murder cops in retaliation for this incident.

They also claim the man had a mental condition which I believe to be true so why was he not in a hospital or on meds?  Instead he was being kicked out of cars by his so called friends because they saw he was acting stupid so why were they not targeted by the grieving family?  Why was the wife not making sure he got treatment?  We never want to talk about what we do to contribute to where we are, we only want to blame everyone around us.

I say what I say about dark skinned black women but if you just pay attention, they are the main ones out here fighting, asking others to fight, yelling on the news and all types of outrageousness!  Notice how she has the big ghetto hoop earrings on?  Now the reason I am not going in on her too much is because she got a nice pair damn it and thats my weakness!

Below is the complete story! But I want you to remember that if a black person or a GANG had murdered this man there would have been no outcry but once its a white person then the community is up in arms.. think about it!

Widow of cop killer apologizes for saying ‘he should’ve taken more with him’, claims he was ‘not a monster’ but was high on PCP – but insists she has a ‘right to mourn’ after ‘disgusting’ memorial sparked outrage

The widow of the the man who shot dead a rookie cop today apologized for saying ‘he should’ve taken more with him’ and revealed he was high on PCP and refusing to take medication for mental problems when he pulled the trigger.

Angelique Campbell caused fury when she made the outrageous statement after her husband Lawrence shot dead rookie officer Melvin Santiago in a Walgreens at 4am on Sunday in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Angelique now says she deeply regrets her words, which she claims she said on the spur of the moment, having recently found out about the death of her husband of five months.

She said: ‘I was very angry and upset. I’d just lost my husband and I’d heard certain things the officer’s family had apparently said. I shouldn’t have said what I did and my condolences go to his family.

‘I am not trying to excuse what La La did, but he was not in his right mind. He was not a monster’.

The family added that they have a ‘right to mourn’ after a memorial – that was bigger than that for the hero officer and featured ‘Thug’ tributes written on T-shirts, empty liquor bottles and candles – sparked nationwide controversy.

But Officer Santiago’s stepfather Alex McBride, who raised him since the age of nine, today told MailOnline: ‘I grew up round here and I wouldn’t go down there and kick over the candles because I’d be scared for my life. But it makes me so angry that they are honoring someone like that.

‘They don’t have any morals and their thinking process is all messed up. My son just turned 23, he was a baby. He grew up round here. He loved being a cop, he was happy and we were very proud of him.’

Meanwhile – in a bid to diffuse the anger that the killings and her comments have caused – Angelique tried to explain what led to the tragic death of the officer and her husband.

She said Campbell ‘was not in his right mind’ after falling back into the grips of serious drug addiction following his January release from prison, where he had apparently got himself clean.

And to make matters worse he had stopped taking a number of prescribed medications to deal with anxiety, post-traumatic stress and hyper attention deficit disorder, which he had suffered from since he was a child, they said.

About an hour before shooting Officer Santiago he was in a car with a group of friends, but they apparently made him get out because he was acting ‘crazy’. Now they think he was high on hallucinogen, PCP, also known as dust.

Angelique, 28, told MailOnline she knew Campbell, 27, was on the road to destruction after falling back in with the wrong crowd.

‘These last few weeks, I knew he was going the wrong way and that he was back on drugs. He was taking PCP. I was desperate to help him and to save his life. I was asking everyone for help’, she said.

‘I called him La La and the La La I knew was not a monster. This was not him, he was not in his right mind. I know the toxicology reports will show that he was under the influence of drugs.

‘He had done wrong in the past, but he was not a violent person. But recently when he was high, he would have these episodes when he would act crazy and start twitching.

‘And he didn’t want to take his medication because it made him tired and lazy. He was OK when he was around his family, but when he was around his so-called friends he wasn’t.

‘We hadn’t been seeing as much of each other in the few weeks before he died because he was in with the wrong people, but I heard on the night he died he was in the car with a friend of mine.

‘She told me La La was acting crazy and dancing in the car. He was getting on her nerves so much she had to make him get out.’

Disturbed: Angelique won’t ‘excuse’ what he did, but wants people to know that he had fallen into serious drug addiction again and wasn’t taking his medication for mental issues. He was ‘not a monster’, she said

Hero: Melvin Santiago, 23, had only been in the force for around a year before he was murdered by Campbell

Campbell gunned down Santiago outside a Walgreens store at 4am after responding to reports of an armed robbery.

Campbell was carrying a knife when he walked into Walgreens and asked for directions to the greeting card aisle.

He then assaulted a security guard and stole his gun before apologizing to a customer for his behavior.

‘Watch the news later, I’m going to be famous!’ Campbell told the woman.

Campbell apparently waited for police to arrive, then shot Santiago with the guard’s weapon.  Other officers returned fire at Campbell, killing him.

Friends and family erected a shrine to Campbell just a few hundred yards from the family home, horrifying people around the country. Shockingly, it was bigger than the memorial set up for officer Santiago, by the scene of the shooting.

On Monday night police officers took it down after an apparently angry standoff, but Campbell’s supporters re-erected it about two blocks away alongside an existing tribute to 20-year-old Levon King, who was shot dead by police last month.

The shrine has caused huge controversy but Campbell’s elder sister Lavena, 30, says her family have a right to mourn.

She said: ‘Firstly I want to pass on my sincere condolences to officer Santiago’s family. I think I understand what they are going through and I feel for them.

‘We don’t hate the cops and we know what Lawrence did was wrong. But they are both human beings. He was my brother and he wasn’t the monster he is being made out to be.

‘When I gave birth earlier this year he would help me look after the baby. He was great with the kids. Do people think we would let him around our children if he was the person he is being made out to be?

‘We have the right to mourn. He did wrong, but that doesn’t mean we are just going to stop loving him. We have a big family and we need to meet to discuss the funeral, but if we meet outside someone’s house, the police tell us to move. We are scared of the police at the moment.

‘We just want to be able to lay him to rest in peace. How can they tell us to take the memorial down? There was nothing anti-police there.’

Angelique added: ‘There is a lot of tension with the police round here. We do not want to get involved in that and have a back and forth.

‘We just want to be left in peace to make funeral arrangements and mourn our loss. People have been saying people may get arrested for the things they’ve said. It’s not good hearing that when we just want to have a funeral.’

Lavena continued: ‘He got back on the drugs and we were trying to help him. I even rang him about getting him treatment, but there was a long waiting list.

‘He was struggling with hyper attention deficit disorder all his life. He hated taking medication because it made him tired. He loved sport when he was young, so he stopped taking the medication.

She went on: ‘Lawrence was trying to get a job, he went for interviews, but he didn’t ever hear back. He started dealing drugs when he was young, like a lot of other kids round here. He had been to prison for that, we will not deny it. But he was not violent’.

However, police have said that he was linked to a previous homicide.

His cousin Samika Campbell was the last family member to speak to Campbell, receiving a call from him at about 1.30 on Sunday morning.

She said: ‘I could tell he was really hyper and worked up, but he seemed ok. We were going to have a family BBQ the next day and he was telling me he had got someone who could clean out the backyard at my grandma’s house.

‘He was really looking forward to it and he told me he loved me, but I didn’t ever speak to him again.’

The family have come in for a huge amount of criticism for defending Campbell since Sunday’s killing and the killings and the controversy over the memorials have seen simmering tensions between law enforcement and the community boil over.

Two Facebook users claiming to be Campbell’s brother and sister have also spoken out to defend their brother in separate posts, claiming that by being black they are always ‘going to do wrong [in their] eyes’.

‘I’m sick of y’all opinions on my brother,’ Laura Campbell wrote on Tuesday. ‘…Y’all didn’t lose nobody but that rookie a** cop [I don’t] give a f*** about him [to be honest].’

Laura also talked about the moved memorial to her brother, saying it will now be in front of the family home.

‘They cops not bouta get away with shit’ she wrote. The page has now been removed.

Campbell’s brother Samuel Campbell wrote a post dedicated to the life of his younger brother, who he described as an athlete who excelled in basketball and boxing.

He also described the racial tensions in their deeply divided neighborhood, using the time he was shot outside their grandmother’s house as an example of the prejudice exhibited by local cops.

‘The media stated it was gang related…It wasn’t. Noted this we live in [a] black community we are always going to be wrong [in their] eyes. The cop asked me did you have any problem with officers I told them no, but I really wanted to tell them they had problems with us,’ Samuel wrote. He went on to claim that both he and his brother had been previously beaten up by police officers.

A Facebook page has also been set up supposedly to show support for Campbell and his family but is largely just an attack on the police. The page is believed to have nothing to do with the family.

It used a quote from Mahatma Gandhi to try and claim ‘why a “good cop” can’t exist’ and called for the disarming of the Jersey police.

It then claims: ‘It is important to state, there is a large swath of society that wishes to live without police officers. Police routinely threaten the public with “we should just take a day off, and then watch them cry for us to return, and the ones complaining the loudest against the police, will be the first ones calling us back.”

‘Ok. We’ll bite. “Do it.” Take the day off, and let’s see if we are calling your corrupt, self serving, murderous, dog and elderly woman shooting selves back into service’.

But a huge number of visitors to the page have been outraged by the memorial. One commentor wrote: ‘Lawrence Campbell. Some hero. Assaults and robs a security guards of his gun, then uses it to kill a police officer. Then he is made a hero. WHO DO YOU THINK IS WATCHNIG OUT OVER THE COMMUNITY WHILE YOU SLEEP, GANGBANGERS? No, it’s police officers. This page disgusts me’.

Another said: ‘Disarm and disband cops so assholes like you can run the streets freely and cause mayhem and crime… Get your head outta your a** and learn this world has rules… Cant take them then leave…’

Tensions were already high when Lavon King, 20, was shot dead by police officers last month.

King was blasted in the chest after apparently trying to disarm an officer who was trying to arrest him in relation to existing warrants. An investigation is pending in his death.

The memorial to Campbell reappeared next to that of King after it was torn down overnight bon the orders of Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop.

Now the two memorials stand side by side and yesterday locals expressed their anger at the fact the original shrine to Campbell had been destroyed.

One man who refused to be identified said: ‘We have a right to remember La La. They are disrespecting his memory and disrespecting us by tearing it down.’

The man said: ‘I don’t know what was going on in La La’s mind when he shot the cop, but we get harassed every day. They think they can do what they want to us out here.

‘We called Lavon Mo Mo and he was unarmed when they shot him. Why did they have to shoot him? Why couldn’t they taser him?

‘La La knew him, but I have no idea if what he did was In retaliation for Mo Mo. It might have been.’

Fulop had called the tribute to Campbell that appeared on Monday an offensive display.

‘There’s a lot of reasons for that – some of it is decades of how they perceive police, some it’s jobs, some of it’s socioeconomics – but at the end of the day we’re dealing with it today. When you talk about that situation, yes, it’s ignorant, yes it’s disgusting, but this represents a lot of the challenges we have,’ he said.

Today Fulop explained his decision to have the original memorial taken down. He said: ‘It has been a tough week for the city on many fronts and many lessons learned here as we reflect. That said with this instance in particular we aren’t going to let a small group of residents act like they publicly portray the sentiment of the city at large. Regardless of differing sentiments we had this removed.’

Tensions were ratcheted up another notch in the early hours of Tuesday morning when a man was shot after attacking police with a sharpened plank of wood near where Campbell was killed.

The 25-year-old apparently threw the weapon through a cop car window striking an officer on the head. He is accused of the trying to steal the policeman’s rifle, before he was eventually shot. His injuries have been described as non-life threatening.
