A hanging truck that drives around New York City now features a mannequin that is said to resemble President Obama. The hanging truck is called an effigy and has eight mannequins that resemble people. The effigy has nothing to do with race but instead law enforcement injustice. The man who has created the truck believes that his family members were murdered by law enforcement and a huge cover-up has prevented him from learning the truth. I guess this sort of protest will definitely draw attention to your cause. See pics and read more about the truck below.
The flatbed trailer being pulled by the pickup truck appears to have eight bodies hanging in effigy. Of course my eye was drawn to the body in the center of the display and the sign with a Presidential Seal (of sorts) and the name President Obama. Carrying only a smartphone camera, I clicked as many photos as I could before the truck drove out of sight. This one offered clues that would eventually explain more about the purpose of this bizarre display.On the back of the “Hanging Truck†one of the signs reads:

Wait a minute. Someone is driving around Manhattan with the President hanging in effigy on a truck? Why? The YouTube search proved fruitful (if not more bizarre than the scene above).
Apparently the truck belongs to someone named VR Phipps from North Carolina. Mr Phipps believes that some of his family members were murdered by local law enforcement and a massive cover-up has successfully prevented him from getting justice. So, Phipps did something very bizarre… he built a gallows in his backyard and also constructed a hanging truck. In the early version (pictured below) VR only had six people dangling. The current version seen today has a judge, a highway patrolman, former Attorney General, the current Governor of North Carolina, a chief counsel, and a county sheriff.
