Merlin Emmanuel – Nephew of Smiley Culture (David Emmanuel) – speaking at the protest against deaths in police custody at New Scotland Yard on Saturday 16th April 2011 Info from blkmoet27’s tribute to Smiley: www.youtube.com David Emmanuel, the British rap star Smiley Culture, died from a single stab wound through his heart, according to a postmortem examination. The 48-year-old singer died during a Metropolitan police raid at his house. His family have been told he stabbed himself while making a cup of tea. Emmanuel’s family say the postmortem has strengthened their resolve to uncover the truth behind the “most bizarre of circumstances”. They say they will employ an independent pathologist to verify the cause of death. “As a family, we are in a state of deep sorrow and anger,” said David Emmanuel, the musician’s nephew, at a packed public meeting in Brixton, south London. “My uncle was a father, an uncle, a friend and a mentor to many and is a British icon who died under the most peculiar of circumstances. “This is not a race issue, although there are suspicions that ethnicity has some relevance in this tragic event. This is a time when the whole British public will stand up to let the police and government know that we will no longer allow any citizen to die in the most bizarre of circumstances. Instead, we will seek the truth, doggedly, until that truth has been exposed.” Emmanuel was stabbed shortly before 8.30am on Tuesday, an hour and a half after four Metropolitan …

@airscrew1 here here !!!
I have had manyyy incidents where I was with my girlfriend walking in the evening and where I was approached by some Jamaican guy commenting vulgarly on what he would like to do to my girlfriend. Happened to me when I was walking with my sisters. Jamaicans picked on me as to why I was with a girl in a disco ? They were insulting my girl as to why they weren’t with one of them. Manyyyy such incidents. I have no sympathy for these people.
@computermech. What a foolish comment on an inapropriate page. They are talking about Police Brutality…Did you not hear Ian Tomlinson’s name included??? Is Ian Tomlinson Jamaican? Do you have sympathy for him? Here is not the place foryou to vent your personal views on Jamaicans and what they did or did not do & say to you! We ALL, whatever race, colour or creed do not deserve UK police brutality. And furthermore im very sure that Jamaicans do not need any sympathy from the likes of you.
fuck the police
we need more police out on the streets because there are to many people getting hurt and going about in gangs because they arent out when they really need to be. the government need to get the police out of the stations and into their communities to look after the citizens in it and visitors:/ without the police people are being injured some severe and some not as bad but still they need to protect people that’s what their job is.
