"You can’t go anywhere if you’re Black": Jason Johnson unleashes on cops letting white supremacist militias walk freely.

A frustrated Jason Johnson lamented his exhaustion and sadness that in Louisville, Kentucky, there were militia members who were safer than people of color because of how people of color continue to be treated.

“You know, every time this happens, and this has happened a lot, I always tell myself before I go on air, I’m not going to get pissed Johnson confessed. “And yet today, I can’t help it. I’m so disgusted by this. I’m so disgusted by Daniel Cameron’s performance.”

“This woman got shot in her house! When she was asleep! It’s like Atatiana Jefferson got shot playing video games with her nephew at 2:00 in the morning. Like Botham Jean was eating ice cream and got shot on his couch. If cops bust into my house right now and shot me on the air, what Daniel Cameron basically told America is that that would be legal."

There's so much justifiable anger and rage.

If I were religious, I'd be praying for folks in Louisville tonight.
