  1. She was convicted for being an accessory/ simply being present as was the law, not for shooting.

    She and Zayd Malik Shakur who died were certainly targets under the FBI's COINTELPRO program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

    The trooper may have been going about his business and ran into a paranoid Zayd Shakur or, and I don't know yet, was there as an assassin or just simply believed to be one by Zayd?

    Perhaps it was something else in the minds of the men at the time. A lot more reading required.

    Just Undo It

    The mayor of Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans, banned the recreation department from buying Nike products, after the company ran advertising featuring the knee-taking NFL star Colin Kaepernick. But then Ben Zahn had to do a u-turn, rescinding the order on the advice of the city attorney. Zahn: "My patriotism will not waiver, but my focus needs to be on the city of Kenner and the many great projects we have in store for our city." NBC

  4. On the plus side, the people of Kenner now know who their mayor is, and will be able to take this information to the polls at the next mayoral election.

    In fairness, Nike really missed a branding opportunity here.... they should have called the new shoes "Kaeper Kicks" :D
