The African American community is retreating from 'the system.'

"...When you are having family issues, I hope you can take care of it, because when you call police in this day and time you may be calling them to do something to you or the family member that you feel is out of your hands...."

The African American men are afraid for their lives.

On Wednesday afternoon, (click here) Wilmington police received a 911 call about a man in a wheelchair with a self-inflicted wound.

A witness on the scene shot a cellphone video showing one officer pointing a shotgun or a rifle at the man in the wheelchair, screaming at him “drop the gun” and “hands up.”

The man in the wheelchair appears to be bleeding. Three more officers, with handguns drawn, appear on the scene and scream at him to drop the gun.
The man fidgets, moving his legs with his hands, rubbing his knees with both hands, trying to raise himself out of the wheelchair....

It appears Jeremy McDole was confused. He was trying to move his legs. He was helpless and it appeared to me he was confused.

I didn't run across this story in the USA media. I was looking at an Iranian news outlet. The story was there. (click here)

There is another story to this. The mother was arrested. The community is setting their own governance.

The mother of a man (click here) in a wheelchair who was killed by police officers last week was arrested and charged with assault and threatening a woman she believed placed a 911 call saying a man had shot himself.

Phyllis McDole, 48, of Wilmington, surrendered to city police Monday and was released on $10,000 bail. She was charged with second-degree burglary, terroristic threatening, third-degree assault and third-degree conspiracy.

Police say McDole, accompanied by five unidentified people, three women and two men, went to the woman’s home on Lancaster Avenue Friday between 7:30 and 8 p.m., punching and threatening the woman after she answered the front door....
