From [HERE] A white Nashville police officer who got three years in prison under a controversial plea deal for the on-duty fatal shooting of 25-year-old Daniel Hambrick in 2018 is scheduled to be released after serving less than 18 months.

Nashville is a city run by white liberal democrats. Nashville has been a Democratic stronghold since at least the end of Reconstruction, and has remained staunchly Democratic even as the state as a whole has trended strongly Republican. [MORE]

Surveillance video released by the district attorney's office showed Hambrick sprinting away from Delke, who at first chased after him but then stopped and started shooting. Hambrick was not facing Delke when the officer opened fire. He shot him in the back. Hambrick, who appears to be about 40 feet away from Delke, falls to the ground after he was shot. 

After Hambrick was shot, he was handcuffed "and left there like a dog," said Joy Kimbrough, an attorney representing the Hambrick family, in August.

As Hambrick lay on the ground, Delke can be seen walking away with his gun drawn. He appears to approach Hambrick later after another officer arrives.

"He shoots him repeatedly from behind," said Kimbrough, going over the new video. "The police officer fired four times, three of those bullets ripped Daniel apart. He fell to the ground, where he was cuffed and left, left there like a dog. Worse than a dog.

"I'm a criminal defense attorney. If there is ever a case of premeditated first-degree murder, this is it."

He pled guilty to manslaughter charges in July of 2021 in a controversial plea deal that Hambrick’s family strongly opposed. A black strawboss judge, Monte D. Watkins (in photo above), accepted the deal and sentenced Mr. Delke to only three years in jail.

In open court Hambrick’s mother begged a judge not to accept a plea deal that would send the former officer to jail for only three years. “I can’t believe this, Judge, I can’t believe this,” Ms. Hambrick said in Nashville criminal court. “What if it was your child instead of my child? It would have been a different story.” [MORE]

An affidavit, filed by an investigator with the district attorney’s office, said Officer Delke, 25, had unsuccessfully tried to stop a white Chevrolet Impala earlier in the day, and later pulled into a parking lot near another white vehicle, which he mistook for the Impala. Several people were in the area, the affidavit said, and when the officer arrived, Mr. Hambrick ran, and Officer Delke chased him, even though he did not know if the man was connected to either vehicle. [As it pertains to white citizen subjects, the Supreme Court has held that without more, flight or running from the presence of cops is not a basis for arrest and does not establish probable cause.

Kimbrough said there was no traffic stop that occurred. Police did not pull over any car that he was driving in. She stated that when the cop arrived Hambrick was not inside the car. She stated there was no legal basis to arrest at him when the cop encountered him. He was outside the car and he ran at the sight of the police. However, flight or running from the presence of cops is not a basis for arrest and does not establish probable cause. [MORE]

“I don’t care if I have a hand grenade in my pocket,” his uncle, Sam Hambrick said, according to the New York Post. “If I’m running away, I can’t be a threat to you.”

Officer Delke was terminated from the police department and charged with Hambrick’s murder.

Hambrick’s family sued the city in federal court and claimed the incident showed the “culture of fear, violence, racism and impunity” in the police department, the Tennessean reported.

Nashville settled the wrongful death suit for $2.25 million earlier this year.

Despite the outrage of Hambrick’s family and the protesters outside the courthouse after the sentencing, District Attorney General Glenn Funk declared the resolution of the case a victory, the Tennessean reported.

“The reality is tonight, for the first time ever, a Nashville officer is going to bed in jail for killing a black man,” Funk said. “Nashville officers now know they will be held accountable for their actions.”

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office announced on Thursday that Delke was scheduled for release on Dec. 3 after serving less than half of his three-year sentence, WSMV reported.

The sheriff’s department said the former police officer was eligible for early release from the Davidson County Detention Center because he got credit for good behavior while he was behind bars.

Q: Are you saying blacks cannot be racist toward whites?

A: That’s correct. Of course, all people can be hateful or prejudiced. Those terms describe individual behaviors, not systematic power. Racism is the COLLECTIVE behaviors of a group. A white individual within a system of racism/white supremacy has the implicit or explicit support of that system IF they choose to practice racism.

If a poor man robs a rich man at gunpoint that doesn’t mean the poor man is more powerful (economically and politically) than the rich man. The poor man is an individual who committed a crime of opportunity. There are no powerful institutions or systems that support his right to rob the rich man, but there are institutions and systems that allow the rich man to rob the poor man - which is why he doesn’t need a gun to do it.

A black person who mistreats a white person doesn’t mean black people are more powerful (economically and politically) than white people. Never confuse the actions of a black individual (or a group of black individuals) that mistreats someone white as proof that black racism exists. Their “power” is limited ONLY to what they can do as individuals. There are NO black institutions or systems that support, defend, or finance the right of blacks to mistreat whites.

There are NO black individuals or black organizations that have the power to strip whites of their collective right to live where they want, work where they want, get an education wherever they want, or control what white people do collectively in ANY area of human activity. There are NO black institutions that are more powerful than white institutions. Therefore, blacks do not have the COLLECTIVE POWER to diminish the quality of life for the white collective.

Q: What is collective power?

A: Collective power is the institutions and systems that benefit one group at the expense of another group, and allow one group to dominate another group in all areas of human activity.

For example, when a white policeman shoots an unarmed black man (50 times), his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, the media, the prosecutor, thejudge, and thejury will support, defend, and finance that white police officer’s “right” to shoot (murder) an unarmed black person. That is white collective power.

It is rare for a white police officer to be punished for using excessive force against a black man, woman, or child. It is just as rare for a black police officer to use excessive force against a white person.

In fact, the authors were unable to find a single instance of a black police officer shooting or killing an unarmed white person in the history of modern law enforcement. This is not surprising but it is absolute proof that the black individual operating within a system of white supremacy cannot mistreat whites even if he or she is wearing a uniform, a badge, and carrying a gun.
