Now that the new report con­firmed that TOM BRADY knew about and par­tic­i­pat­ed in deflat­ing the foot­balls against the COLTS,wonder what the gold­en boy’s pun­ish­ment will be.
Will there be two types of jus­tice in his pun­ish­ment as there is in the gen­er­al jus­tice system.?
Already we are hear­ing all types of nuanced expla­na­tions and attempts to excuse him.
This guy stood before the nation­al media and lied unequivocally.
On Television they speak about this trag­ic betray­al of trust as if its nothing.
Panelist smile and use flow­ery lan­guage to refer to Tom Brady.
Ex-NFL play­ers, black and white, act as if what Tom Brady did was no big deal. They use lan­guage like step­ping over the line.
I under­stand the blacks have to par­rot the nar­ra­tive, after all they want to con­tin­ue see­ing their mugs on TV.

What the hell is step­ping over the line? Some even admit to break­ing rules in a sor­did attempt to make the pub­lic believe what Brady and the Patriots did is no big deal.
If tam­per­ing with game-balls was no big deal why does the League have it’s Referees inspect game-balls pri­or to games?
The truth of the mat­ter is that it is a big deal. If balls are under-inflat­ed it allows quar­ter­backs and oth­er ball han­dlers to have a bet­ter grip on the ball than a ball which is ful­ly inflated.
In wet con­di­tions this could make all the dif­fer­ence whether a quar­ter­back is able to throw the ball with pin-point accu­ra­cy or not.
It’s all about hav­ing a good grip on the ball.

It may also be the dif­fer­ence in whether a receiv­er is able to cor­ral an errant pass.
Simply put, deflat­ed balls give the team which uses them a decid­ed edge over its competitor.
I am not inter­est­ed in any argu­ment about Brady’s greatness.
I am not inter­est­ed in hear­ing that the Patriots does not need to cheat to win.
The fact is from all accounts they cheat­ed to gain and advan­tage , it’s not the first time they have been caught cheating.
I am inclined to believe that if they have been caught cheat­ing twice that maybe its the way the go about doing business.
So when the hyp­ocrites ask stu­pid­ly, whether the cham­pi­onships the Patriots won are taint­ed, I encour­age them to step back and lis­ten to them­selves make ass­es of them­selves, when they ask those asi­nine questions.

If you cheat to win , you are a cheater, what­ev­er you derive as a result of your unscrupu­lous actions is taint­ed, dirty and filthy.
The text mes­sages between the two equip­ment guys accord­ing to the inves­ti­ga­tions, revealed all any­one needs to know, they spoke at length about deflat­ing the balls for Brady.
Not just that, but Brady refused to coöper­ate with the inves­ti­ga­tions, he did not give them access to his text mes­sages or email which he knew would direct­ly impli­cate him.
On that note this guy should be sus­pend­ed for an entire sea­son and although the game was not the Super-Bowl they should lose the tro­phy .
Nothing else in my mind will be pun­ish­ment enough.
If a slap on the wrist is what it takes to cheat and win then why would teams not do it and pay the money?
It is not the first time the Patriots orga­ni­za­tion have been caught cheating.
They stole the New York Jets signs and were giv­en a slap on the wrist by the league.
This orga­ni­za­tion is not a win­ner it is a despi­ca­ble cheat­ing orga­ni­za­tion.
Sports is sup­posed to be sacro­sanct, noble, it is sup­posed to rep­re­sent the best of our efforts.
And when you lose you pick your­self up, dust your­self off, go back to the draw­ing board and re cal­i­brate.
It is the great­est exam­ple of how we should live our lives
When you cheat at sports all of that is destroyed.

Lance Armstrong cheat­ed and lied for years, his actions gets brushed under the table like they nev­er existed.
Ben Roethlisberger abused young women the media and some in soci­ety pre­tend­ed he did not do any­thing wrong.
Marion Jones received prison time for less. For years they went after Barry Bonds in an effort to put him in prison.
The fact that Bonds is not in prison is not because they haven’t tried.
Countless oth­er play­ers have been severe­ly pun­ished for smok­ing mar­i­jua­na or using oth­er banned substances.
They sav­aged Michael Vick for par­tic­i­pat­ing in a dog-fight­ing ring, some­thing which is cul­tur­al where Vick came from.

The lev­el of utter hypocrisy is stun­ning, it stinks to high heaven.
Rice was pun­ished for punch­ing out his wife, some­thing inex­cus­able but which occurred off the field. So too was Adrian Petersen sus­pend­ed by the league, his crime spank­ing his own kid, again it’s his right to pun­ish his kid as long as he does not abuse the child.
The Government ought to have no right to dic­tate to par­ents whether they can scold their child or not. Petersen was pun­ished in the jus­tice sys­tem and sus­pend­ed by the NFL.
Yesterday Tom Brady arrived by heli­copter to thun­der­ous applause to deliv­er a speech to an audi­to­ri­um of ador­ing sec­u­lar hedo­nis­tic hypocrites.

Despite state­ments by Baltimore’s State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby that her office had con­duct­ed it’s own Investigations sep­a­rate from to that of the Baltimore Police Department. 

Despite her cat­e­goric state­ments that the Baltimore City Police did not tell her any­thing she did not already know.
It appears that the Baltimore Police true to police behav­ior, is now engaged in leak­ing dribs and drabs of the evi­dence it collected. 

The main stream media which is noth­ing more than cor­po­rate police mouth-pieces are now report­ing that Baltimore Police are say­ing that Moseby has over-charged the 6 cops involved in Freddy Gray’s death.

Unions rep­re­sent­ing the Baltimore 6 came out vehe­ment­ly argu­ing also that the Prosecutor was unusu­al­ly quick to charge the cops . Labeling her actions unprece­dent­ed and a rush to judgement.
It seem that the rules which apply to every­one else does not apply to cops.

Despite the unprece­dent­ed lat­i­tude giv­en to them in the exe­cu­tion of their duties they fun­da­men­tal­ly believe they ought not be held account­able despite the egre­gious nature of the trans­gres­sion they are accused of.

MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE

Matthew Ajibade was a 22-year-old Nigerian-born artist and stu­dent at Savannah Technical College died in a Georgia jail cell under mys­te­ri­ous cir­cum­stances after police arrest­ed him for domes­tic bat­tery and resist­ing arrest. Police say when they came upon Ajibade and his girl­friend on New Year’s day on a Savannah street, her face was bruised and her nose was bleed­ing. Ajibade was appar­ent­ly in the midst of a bipo­lar episode. But instead of tak­ing him to the hos­pi­tal, police brought him to Chatham County jail, where they say he got into a scuf­fle with guards. A day lat­er, his old­er broth­er Chris Oladapo got a phone call from some­one at the jail, telling him his lit­tle broth­er was dead.
To date the fam­i­ly of the slain young man has received no word from the police why their son was died in their cus­tody. Police claim they were called to the inter­sec­tion of East Duffy and Abercorn streets about 6:15 p.m. Thursday to respond to a domes­tic inci­dent in which one per­son was chas­ing anoth­er. Officers saw Ajibade and a woman stand­ing togeth­er with a blan­ket over their heads. Ajibade was hold­ing the woman tight­ly, but she removed the blan­ket as police approached. An offi­cer saw the woman’s face was bruised and her nose was bleed­ing. Police told Ajibade to release the woman, but he refused even after sev­er­al com­mands were giv­en. When an offi­cer tried to pull them apart, Ajibade “start­ed to resist appre­hen­sion in a vio­lent man­ner, and was tak­en to the ground, so that he could be handcuffed,”.

Police say Ajibade con­tin­ued to resist arrest, even while on the ground of a park­ing lot at a con­ve­nience store in the 1500 block of Abercorn. Two sergeants came to the scene and medics were called, but police claim both the woman and Ajibade, who wasn’t injured, refused treat­ment. The woman told police Ajibade had been act­ing strange­ly all day, but she did not say why she thought she had been attacked. Police said Ajibade was the pri­ma­ry aggres­sor, and he was charged with bat­tery under the Domestic Violence Act and obstruc­tion by resist­ing arrest. The woman gave police a plas­tic pre­scrip­tion bot­tle, labeled as Divalproex, that con­tained pills. Police took Ajibade to jail.

Ajibade arrived at the jail at 6:40 p.m. and was placed in an iso­la­tion cell because he became com­bat­ive with deputies while being booked and his behav­ior was deemed dan­ger­ous, accord­ing to Wayne Wermuth, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office. A female sergeant suf­fered a con­cus­sion and a bro­ken nose and two male deputies suf­fered injuries con­sis­tent with a fight. While per­form­ing a sec­ond wel­fare check on Ajibade, jail staff found he appeared to be non­re­spon­sive. Medical staff start­ed CPR and admin­is­tered defib­ril­la­tion while prepar­ing to take Ajibade to Memorial University Medical Center, but efforts to resus­ci­tate him were not suc­cess­ful, Wermuth said.
Instead of tak­ing this young man to a hos­pi­tal so he could receive med­ical treat­ment they took him to jail and now he is dead.
Someone killed him and months lat­er the fam­i­ly is still not told exact­ly who killed their son.
Of course no one should hold their breath for the truth, all their Ducks have to be lined up in a row, all the “T“ ‘s crossed all the “I” dotted.
In the end the mur­der­ers of Matthew Ajibade will be out with their badges and guns and pow­er where they will kill again and again and again.

AND IN CALIFORNIA.….

Cops kill unarmed home­less man ..again.…

LAPD offi­cials say the con­fronta­tion start­ed after two offi­cers went to Windward Avenue about 11:20 p.m. because some­one report­ed a home­less man with a dog “harass­ing cus­tomers” out­side a build­ing. The offi­cers talked to the man briefly, the LAPD said. When he walked toward the Venice board­walk, the offi­cers returned to their patrol car. Soon after, police said, the offi­cers saw the man “phys­i­cal­ly strug­gling” with a bounc­er out­side a bar. The offi­cers approached the man and tried to detain him, police said, lead­ing to a “phys­i­cal alter­ca­tion.” During that con­fronta­tion, one of the offi­cers opened fire.

The man, who acquain­tances said went by the name Dizzle, was pro­nounced dead at a hos­pi­tal. An inves­ti­ga­tion into the inci­dent is ongo­ing. Less than 16 hours after the dead­ly encounter, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck stood before reporters and said he was “very con­cerned” about the shoot­ing, which was record­ed by a secu­ri­ty cam­era. “Any time an unarmed per­son is shot by a Los Angeles police offi­cer, it takes extra­or­di­nary cir­cum­stances to jus­ti­fy that,” Beck said. “I have not seen those extra­or­di­nary circumstances.”

New Report Tom Brady knew the balls were deflat­ed, breaking .….

As the new Political sil­ly sea­son kicks of in the United States, thank­ful­ly they will not have Barack Obama the can­di­date to kick around this time. So for vot­ers on the right here’s an oppor­tu­ni­ty to heave a sigh of relief , final­ly you can “have your coun­try back”. Hopefully this will mean that you can call off your attack dogs from black men. The black guy will be out of there real soon.

Seriously though as is cus­tom­ary each nation­al elec­tion cycle vot­ers are faced with a range of options which are not some­times as evi­dent as the lame-stream cor­po­rate media wants you to think. 
For instance, On the issue of faith and Religion, the Republican Party have been car­ry­ing that mes­sage, that they are the God par­ty for a long time.
The trou­ble with Republican protes­ta­tions of faith and val­ues is that their actions are inher­ent­ly divorced from scrip­tur­al teach­ings and every­day reality.
Loving , car­ing char­i­ty, kind­ness, accep­tance, are dirty words for Republicans.
This makes their faith mes­sage unac­cept­able and hypocritical.
In fact many peo­ple are turned off from the chris­t­ian faith pri­mar­i­ly because of the messengers.

On the oth­er hand the Democratic par­ty has demon­stra­bly been more in tune with the goals and aspi­ra­tions of the poor and dis­pos­sessed, unfor­tu­nate­ly for the par­ty and it’s sup­port­ers, the par­ty has become a par­ty of Godless any­thing-goes Liberals.
So where does that leave peo­ple of faith who still believe Government has a legal and moral duty to aid the poor?
There is no such option for vot­ers in America.
Both Political par­ties are mere pawns of the finan­cial oligarchy.

So as I par­tic­i­pat­ed in a dis­cus­sion on the sub­ject yes­ter­day, I real­ized just how the Republican par­ty have been able to total­ly dis­re­spect the poor yet remain viable. They man­age this despite that the major­i­ty of vot­ers are poor­er people.

As was the case last nation­al elec­tion cycle, with Mr Piazza Herman Cain’s pre­tend can­di­da­cy for the Republican Party, here again is Ben Carson a retired neu­ro­sur­geon toss­ing his hat into the ring.
The Republican par­ty has demon­strat­ed it has no inter­est in black caus­es, nei­ther does it have any desire to attract black vot­ers to the party.
In all fair­ness to for­mer pres­i­dent Bush he was able to gar­ner about 13% of the black vote, large­ly because he ran as an evan­gel­i­cal christian.
The par­ty has fought every issue which would uplift blacks from sec­ond class cit­i­zen­ship to equal part­ner­ship in the American experience.
In state leg­is­la­tors across the coun­try repub­li­cans have passed laws which are direct­ly anti­thet­i­cal to the inter­est of black Americans.
Interestingly , despite the naked aggres­sion of the par­ty toward African-Americans some very notable dark-skinned peo­ple have man­aged to align them­selves to the party.
Despite the slave mas­ter’s cru­el­ty and mur­der­ous aggres­sion to the peo­ple they enslaved, many slaves still clam­ored to serve in the big house.
A FEW QUOTES FROM BEN CARSON
(1) On Obamacare: “You know, Obamacare is real­ly, I think, the worst thing that has hap­pened in this nation since slav­ery. And it is, in a way — it is slav­ery in a way because it is mak­ing all of us sub­servient to the government.”
(2)  On Obama’s appear­ance: When a col­league said the pres­i­dent “looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks ele­gant,” Carson respond­ed: “Like most psy­chopaths. That’s why they’re suc­cess­ful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.” He lat­er said: “But he knows he’s telling a lie! He’s try­ing to sell what he thinks is not true! He’s sit­ting there say­ing, ‘These Americans are so stu­pid I can tell them anything.’ ”
(3) On sim­i­lar­i­ties between the Founding Fathers, who were “will­ing to die for what they believed,” and ISIS: “They’ve [ISIS] got the wrong phi­los­o­phy, but they’re will­ing to die for what they believe, while we’re busi­ly giv­ing away every val­ue and every belief for the sake of polit­i­cal correctness.”
(4) On the impor­tance of the GOP win­ning the Senate in 2014: In August, Carson said he could­n’t be sure “there will even be an elec­tion in 2016” if Republicans did­n’t go on to win that fall. (His wife also said they were keep­ing their son’s Australian pass­port handy if the elec­tion did­n’t go their way.)

It has been par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant that Republicans have a cou­ple of token blacks in high vis­i­bil­i­ty posi­tions. Like the few they rent to sit in front rows at their conventions.
It was impor­tant to have cov­er when they vicious­ly assail Barack Obama while hug­ging on a high pro­file black in their own party.
That in their minds negates the overt racism they spewed at Obama and blacks in general.
There nev­er was and nev­er will be a short­age of house Negroes will­ing to do Massa’s bidding.
Black vot­ers are faced with two dis­tinct choices.
(1) Vote for the Republican par­ty which hates and reviles them.
(2) Continue to vote for the soul-less Democratic par­ty which takes them for grant­ed and allows them to believe any­thing that one wants to do in life is okay , there are no con­se­quence for action.

Carson like oth­er black sell-outs before him are sta­ples on the FOX net­work the Rights place to dis­re­spect and spread racial hatred.
It should cause con­ster­na­tion to an intel­li­gent black per­son as to the motives of that net­work in hir­ing them as con­trib­u­tors or just to come on to dis­cuss a topic.
Despite Carson’s noto­ri­ety as a renowned and bril­liant brain sur­geon, he has not demon­strat­ed the com­mon-sense to side step that minefield.
On that basis Carson joins Clarence Thomas , Herman Caine and a host of oth­er high-pro­file blacks who have sac­ri­ficed integri­ty on the altar of being accept­ed by whites.

“They will be held accountable” !!!
And cor­rect­ly so.…
That was the answer Marilyn J. Mosby,Maryland state’s attor­ney for Baltimore City give to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, in response to Hayes ques­tion about cops poten­tial­ly not turn­ing up to tes­ti­fy in crim­i­nal cas­es as a means of protests for her deci­sive actions.
As deci­sive and right as Mosby’s retort was, the very notion that that could be a strat­e­gy of pub­lic ser­vants who are paid by the very com­mu­ni­ty to do a job is in of itself a damming indict­ment of the cul­ture of intim­i­da­tion, mur­der, fear and extor­tion which is slow­ly com­ing to light about America’s police departments.

Despite the clear and unequiv­o­cal killing of Eric Garner by Police on New York’s Staten Island, the Prosecutor Daniel Donovan short-cir­cuit­ed the process, lit­er­al­ly pre­vent­ing Cop Daniel Pantaleo from fac­ing crim­i­nal charges, while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly giv­ing the appear­ance to the pub­lic that he was doing all he could in the inter­est of justice.
For white men in par­tic­u­lar in America jus­tice has basi­cal­ly been what they say it is. Even as they manip­u­late and dis­tort the process to suit their own ends.
In Maryland as in oth­er states there are dis­parate laws in place which makes it lit­er­al­ly easy for police to break the laws with­out fear of prosecution.
The New York Times reports on a law called the police offi­cer’s bill of rights.
The law is sim­i­lar to at least a dozen across the coun­try, com­mon­ly known as police offi­cers’ bills of rights. But Maryland’s, enact­ed in the ear­ly 1970s, was the first and goes the fur­thest in offer­ing lay­ers of legal pro­tec­tion to police offi­cers. Among its pro­vi­sions is one that gives offi­cers 10 days before they have to talk to investigators.
The law has been a con­cern of Baltimore’s may­or, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, since even before her city was racked by protests after the death of Mr. Gray from spinal cord injuries he sus­tained while in police cus­tody.“When I went down to Annapolis to try to fight for reform, sim­ple reform of the enforce­ment bill of rights, peo­ple looked at me like I had three eyes,” Ms. Rawlings-Blake said at a news con­fer­ence on Thursday, her lat­est of a string of com­plaints about the law this week. Earlier this year, Jill P. Carter, a Democratic law­mak­er in the Maryland House of Delegates, intro­duced a bill that would have elim­i­nat­ed the 10-day rule. The leg­is­la­tion nev­er advanced out of com­mit­tee in the face of intense oppo­si­tion from police unions around the state.

While the state laws pro­tect­ing police offi­cers vary, they gen­er­al­ly allow offi­cers a peri­od of time — from 24 hours to sev­er­al days — before requir­ing them to speak to inves­ti­ga­tors. The leg­is­la­tion also often pro­vides oth­er pro­tec­tions unavail­able to civil­ians, includ­ing lim­it­ing the amount of time offi­cers can be ques­tioned and pro­hibit­ing inves­ti­ga­tors from lying to obtain an admis­sion of wrong­do­ing. In addi­tion to the 10-day rule, the Maryland law also lim­its the time in which a com­plaint may be made against an offi­cer to 90 days from the inci­dent — even if the vic­tim remains hos­pi­tal­ized with severe injuries or is oth­er­wise incapacitated.“The law must both effec­tive­ly respond to police mis­con­duct and pro­tect those ded­i­cat­ed law enforce­ment offi­cers who are unfair­ly tar­get­ed,” said the state­ment from the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association and the Maryland Sheriffs’ Association. “Citizens and oth­er pub­lic employ­ees are enti­tled to due process before the gov­ern­ment takes neg­a­tive action against them, and our law enforce­ment offi­cers deserve noth­ing less.”

But crim­i­nol­o­gists say the spe­cial legal pro­tec­tions for offi­cers erodes pub­lic trust in the police dur­ing a time that pub­lic con­fi­dence in offi­cers has fall­en after a series of deaths of unarmed black men and boys around the country.“These are rights that civil­ians are not enti­tled to,” said David Harris, a law pro­fes­sor at the University of Pittsburgh Law School and an expert on police account­abil­i­ty. “Don’t you think that two or 10 days is the per­fect time to get your sto­ry straight, talk to oth­er offi­cers, get the foren­sics results to make sure you don’t make mistakes?”

We agree with that assess­ment. As a for­mer law enforce­ment officer,I find it insult­ing that any­one would sug­gest that a cop could use lethal force on a mem­ber of the pub­lic yet is not oblig­at­ed to speak to any­one for up to 10 days.
Despite the protes­ta­tions of the heads of the afore-named police agen­cies , those spe­cial priv­i­leges ought to be stripped away if they are to engen­der the trust and respect of the com­mu­ni­ties they serve.
We are still going to use the term com­mu­ni­ties they serve, even though from all indi­ca­tions police depart­ments across America are hell-bent on con­trol and dom­i­na­tion of the African-American com­mu­ni­ties they patrol. 

Police chiefs and their sup­port­ers are being ter­ri­bly myopic if they believe that when the anger of the peo­ple erupt they will be safe because they have big guns and armored per­son­nel carriers.
The Politicians who vote to give them unmit­i­gat­ed pow­ers to abuse cit­i­zens are not doing them ser­vice . There will be just so much that peo­ple will take.
On that note police offi­cers must avail them­selves to the real­i­ties that they have no pow­er that was not giv­en them by the people.
That pow­er can get them in seri­ous trou­ble as we now see in Baltimore Maryland.
As it becomes clear­er by the day that white men who con­trol pros­e­cu­tors offices and oth­er posi­tions of pow­er, use and abuse those pow­ers as instru­ments of white supremacy.

African-Americans must seize some of that pow­er, wrench­ing them away from the likes of Daniel Donovan of Staten Island and William Bratton in New York City.
That pow­er must be wrenched from the immoral demons who con­trol pow­er in Tulsa Oklahoma who did not lift a fin­ger to indict the sav­ages who told Eric Harris, “Fuck your breath.” As Harris screams in pain, cry­ing out that he did­n’t do any­thing to deserve being shot, an unnamed deputy replies, “You fuck­ing ran. Shut the fuck up.”
Eric Harris died lat­er as cops knelt on his head even after he was shot and in ter­ri­ble pain.
Whose idea is that of policing?

These are the kinds of things White Supremacists do to peo­ple of col­or in America while wear­ing police uniforms.
If oth­er coun­tries did these things America would be on it’s high horse , pon­tif­i­cat­ing about moral­i­ty, human rights and democ­ra­cy. They would with-hold fund­ing as a pun­ish­ment for what they term “Human rights abuses”>
It’s time for America’s hypocrisy to be exposed for the world to see.
It’s bla­tant hypocrisy to pre­tend that your hands are clean while your agents use your laws to oppress and sup­press eth­nic minori­ties in order to fur­ther the igno­ble prac­tice of racial superiority.

At the same time black Americans can­not look to one 35 ‑year-old woman to be it’s savior.
Celebrating an indict­ment of the cops who con­tributed to the killing of Freddy Gray goes to the heart of how beat-down black peo­ple are.
They cel­e­brate indictments.
Behind the scenes the same struc­ture which cre­at­ed the police mur­der cul­ture is still intact.
Nothing has changed.
When will things change.
Your guess is as good as mine.
It damn sure wont change because blacks ask whites to have a heart and do the right thing.…
It nev­er worked , it wont work.
Change will come to the black com­mu­ni­ty when that com­mu­ni­ty say “this stops today” mean it and rise up like a mighty nation..
Within this nation.…..

Police have a right to due process like every­one else.
With that said the Baltimore Police Union’s atti­tude seem to be that their offi­cers are above the laws.
No one is above the laws.
It is only when laws are applied fair­ly and equi­tably can a nation expect to have peace and order.
What seem to be hap­pen­ing is that these Union Reps are in shock , clear­ly they are not used to hav­ing their offi­cers held account­able for their crimes.
In Staten Island and Ferguson Missouri and oth­er munic­i­pal­i­ties all across America white men in con­trol of the sys­tem have demon­stra­bly abused the sys­tem to suit their own.
That is not Justice that is not fairness.
It is only when every­one are sub­ject to the same treat­ment under the law that peace will prevail.

Whites live in a Utopian enclave where they are shield­ed from the vis­cous assault of police.
In many cas­es the police have sim­ply removed the sheets and replaced them with police uniforms.
How do peo­ple fight back against the law?
Therein lies the problem.
And they know it.
Most cops are cow­ard­ly punks who would not dare step to a black man unless he is hid­ing behind a badge.
For those who are ready to pounce , I am a for­mer police offi­cer, what these sav­ages are doing is not policing.
Those who sup­port them or remain silent are just as bad.
The lie you hear them tell that only a small amount of cops are crim­i­nals is sim­ply that, a lie…

DESPITE WHAT SOME TELL YOU NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED STRUCTURALLY.

The more things change the more they remain the same.
Many Americans white and black are quick to point to what they see as a seis­mic shift in race rela­tions in America.
The best barom­e­ter they believe is the fact that a half-white man sits in the white house as pres­i­dent of these unit­ed states.
Obama him­self seem to believe that his ascen­dan­cy to the high­est elect­ed office sig­ni­fy that Americans are more decent and good that peo­ple think they are.

To some in the black com­mu­ni­ty any form of liv­ing will do. 
They are quite con­tent with being sec­ond class cit­i­zens, as long as they can go to their jobs, go shop­ping then find some form of enter­tain­ment afterwards.
In fact enter­tain­ment seem to typ­i­fy their very existence.
So it real­ly does­n’t mat­ter how bad things are in their neigh­bor­hoods, they still claim the dilap­i­dat­ed and squalid con­di­tions, pro­fess­ing their love for the run-down deprived communities.
Many of them do not want the apple cart dis­turbed , so any form of social upheaval is greet­ed with the strongest con­dem­na­tion from them, even though they are the vic­tims of state abuse.
Hundreds of years of phys­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal abuse has left the American black bro­ken and con­tent with any life their white coun­ter­parts allows them to live.

It is sad to watch their pathet­ic accep­tance of this sec­ond class des­ig­na­tion, being told what to say and do in their own country.
I have always mar­veled at black Americans will­ing­ness to cede America to their white coun­ter­parts. Every white in America takes own­er­ship of America.
They speak of America as their country.
Blacks don’t.
Blacks are quite will­ing to cede ground to whites which defies log­ic and com­mon sense, at least as far as a am concerned.
On that basis it is inher­ent­ly dif­fi­cult for oth­ers to side with and help blacks in their plight in a land they have not yet claimed.
It appears that a hun­dred years from now they will still be run­ning away from get­ting their spines sev­ered and their lar­ynx crushed at the hands of agents of white own­ers of America[sic]

Do not enter­tain peo­ple white nor black uncle Toms who appear on tele­vi­sion and oth­er media demand­ing that you con­demn dam­age to property.
When they con­demn Police mur­der and abuse and help us stamp it out, then and only then should we lis­ten to their concerns.
When we say black lives mat­ter we must make it absolute­ly clear that we will no longer tol­er­ate or allow them to deval­ue the life of our peo­ple while they ask us to mul­ti­ply and respect the val­ue of their property.
The trade-off for the peace and social order they crave should and must come at the cost of social justice.
There should be no peace until there is jus­tice and respect for all Americans.
In case after case we see police use undue and exces­sive force, kills some­one and exer­cise bla­tant dis­re­gard for that per­son­’s right to life.

In fact the actions of these cops in many cas­es are so aggra­vat­ing that it is stun­ning that any per­son look­ing at the evi­dence would not be nau­se­at­ed and disgusted.
They mur­der peo­ple then after shoot­ing them down they do not lift a fin­ger to admin­is­ter aid to the person.
They then fal­si­fy reports delib­er­ate­ly lying that they admin­is­tered life sav­ing assis­tance to the victims.
In case after case the sys­tem does not hold them account­able for their thug­gery and mur­der­ous behavior.

A video shows Officer Michael Slager, who is white, fir­ing eight shots at 50-year-old Walter Scott as Scott has his back to him and is run­ning away. Scott, who was unarmed, was struck five times. They then lied that they admin­is­tered aid to the dying Scott.
Eric Courtney Harris was killed by 73-year-old Tulsa, Oklahoma, “reserve deputy” police offi­cer Bob Bates. Bates yells, “I shot him! I’m sor­ry.” Meanwhile, Harris is cry­ing, “He shot me! He shot me, man. Oh my God. I’m los­ing my breath.” “Fuck your breath!” a cop responds. “Shut the fuck up!” “You should­n’t have fuck­ing ran!” his col­league adds as they hold Harris down. Harris died about an hour lat­er at a near­by hospital.
Neither of the sav­ages who held Bates down and killed him after he was shot has been arrested.

These are the sav­ages who patrol America’s streets and exact vengeance in the name of law enforcement.
These are mod­ern day Slave patrols.
One of the most absurd state­ment I’ve heard is that Freddie Gray injured him­self , this is the most pre­pos­ter­ous thing imag­in­able and you guessed it , it is being advanced by the media.
No doubt those nar­ra­tives were plant­ed by the Baltimore Police , ful­ly con­ver­sant that the media would gob­ble it up loop it until it gets woven into the nar­ra­tive which even­tu­al­ly then becomes fact.
Of course one guest who is a med­ical doc­tor stren­u­ous­ly debunked that myth, argu­ing that cops sev­ered the spine of Freddy Gray, plain and simple.

It is frus­trat­ing but under­stand­able though, that a peo­ple lead­er­less, and clue­less to what they deserve will con­tin­u­al­ly be used , abused and mur­dered because those who wield pow­er, know they will not stand up and defend themselves.

A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE !
Right ?
A coun­try formed on the pow­er of the indi­vid­ual citizen.
A Government made up of indi­vid­ual citizens.
A sys­tem in which the cit­i­zen gov­ern­ment fears the peo­ple, not the oth­er way around.
In fact the peo­ple are guar­an­teed that right to remove the Government if the Government become tyrannical .

SO WHAT HAPPENED?
The finan­cial Oligarchs pick the polit­i­cal puppets. 
Money talks.
Remember “cit­i­zens unit­ed”?
In fair­ness this was the sta­tus-quo long before the Supreme Court’s cit­i­zens unit­ed decision.
The Political pup­pets hire waves and waves of goons, arm and indoc­tri­nate them and the cir­cle is complete.
So what hap­pen to that con­cept of a Government of the peo­ple for the peo­ple by the people?
It nev­er existed

During the American sup­port­ed so-called Arab Spring upris­ings in the Middle East, the world wit­nessed peo­ple stand up and defy tyran­ni­cal gov­ern­ments, some thou­sands of years entrenched in places like Egypt and Libya, and Tunisia.
Governments in Egypt , Tunisia, Syria and oth­ers rolled out Military might in a show of force, designed to intim­i­date the peo­ple into capit­u­lat­ing and return­ing to the status-quo.
The peo­ple stood their ground and one by one those tyran­ni­cal regimes fell.
People pow­er is democracy.
In America Federal Agents were forced to back down from white fun­da­men­tal­ists in Nevada.

WHITE POWER

Hundreds of heav­i­ly armed mili­tia mem­bers cel­e­brat­ed their vic­to­ry over fed­er­al law enforce­ment offi­cers on Saturday after they secured the release of Cliven Bundy’s cap­tured cattle.

In an embar­rass­ing climb-down, the Bureau of Land Management retreat­ed from its high pro­file stand­off with Bundy and his rag-tag bunch of anti-fed­er­al­ists after the BLM attempt­ed to forcibly cap­ture near­ly 1,000 of his cat­tle. The mili­tia mem­ber showed up at cor­rals out­side Mesquite to demand the ani­mals’ return to ranch­er Cliven Bundy. Some pro­test­ers were armed with hand­guns and rifles at the cor­rals and at an ear­li­er near­by rally.

Bundy, 67, does­n’t rec­og­nize fed­er­al author­i­ty on land he insists belongs to Nevada. His Mormon fam­i­ly has oper­at­ed a ranch since the 1870s near the small town of Bunkerville and the Utah and Arizona lines. ‘Good morn­ing America, good morn­ing world, isn’t it a beau­ti­ful day in Bunkerville?’ Bundy told a cheer­ing crowd after his cat­tle were released, accord­ing to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. A num­ber of Bundy’s sup­port­ers, who includ­ed mili­tia mem­bers from California, Idaho and oth­er states, dressed in cam­ou­flage and car­ried rifles and sidearms.

During the stand-off, some chant­ed ‘open that gate’ and ‘free the peo­ple.’ A man who iden­ti­fied him­self as Scott, 43, said he had trav­eled from Idaho along with two fel­low mili­tia mem­bers to sup­port Bundy. ‘If we don’t show up every­where, there is no rea­son to show up any­where,’ said the man, dressed in cam­ou­flage pants and a black flak jack­et crouched behind a con­crete high­way bar­ri­er, hold­ing an AR-15 rifle. ‘I’m ready to pull the trig­ger if fired upon,’ Scott said.

The dis­pute between Bundy and fed­er­al land man­agers began in 1993 when he stopped pay­ing month­ly fees of about $1.35 per cow-calf pair to graze pub­lic lands that are also home to imper­iled ani­mals such as the Mojave Desert tor­toise. Support: An armed civil­ian waits near­by in some bush­es as the Bundy fam­i­ly and their sup­port­ers gath­er togeth­er under the I‑15 high­way just out­side of Bunkerville, Nevada Land man­agers lim­it­ed the Bundy herd to just 150 head on a land which the ranch­er claims has been in his fam­i­ly for more than 140 years.

The gov­ern­ment also claims Bundy has ignored can­cel­la­tion of his graz­ing leas­es and defied fed­er­al court orders to remove his cat­tle. ‘We won the bat­tle,’ said Ammon Bundy, one of the rancher’s sons. Hundreds of Bundy sup­port­ers, some heav­i­ly armed, had camped on the road lead­ing to his ranch in a high desert spot­ted with sage­brush and mesquite trees. Some held signs read­ing ‘Americans unit­ed against gov­ern­ment thugs,’ while oth­ers were call­ing the ral­ly the ‘Battle of Bunkerville,’ a ref­er­ence to a American Revolutionary War bat­tle of Bunker Hill in Boston. 

The large crowd at one point blocked all traf­fic on Interstate 15. Later, as lanes opened up, motorists honked to sup­port the demon­stra­tors and gave them a thumbs-up sign. Las Vegas Police Lt. Dan Zehnder said the show­down was resolved with no injuries and no vio­lence. Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie was able to nego­ti­ate a res­o­lu­tion after talk­ing with Bundy, he said. The fight between Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management widened into a debate about states’ rights and fed­er­al land-use policy.

The dis­pute that ulti­mate­ly trig­gered the roundup dates to 1993, when the bureau cit­ed con­cern for the fed­er­al­ly pro­tect­ed tor­toise in the region. The bureau revoked Bundy’s graz­ing rights after he stopped pay­ing graz­ing fees and dis­re­gard­ed fed­er­al court orders to remove his ani­mals. Kornze’s announce­ment came after Bundy repeat­ed­ly promised to “do what­ev­er it takes” to pro­tect his prop­er­ty and after a string of rau­cous con­fronta­tions between his fam­i­ly mem­bers and sup­port­ers and fed­er­al agents dur­ing the week­long oper­a­tion. Bundy did not imme­di­ate­ly respond to requests for com­ment. Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval issued a state­ment prais­ing the agency for its will­ing­ness to lis­ten to the state’s con­cerns.http://​www​.dai​ly​mail​.co​.uk/​n​e​w​s​/​a​r​t​i​c​l​e​-​2​6​0​3​0​2​6​/​S​e​n​a​t​o​r​-​s​p​e​a​k​s​-​f​a​v​o​r​-​N​e​v​a​d​a​-​r​a​n​c​h​e​r​-​m​i​l​i​t​i​a​s​-​j​o​i​n​-​b​a​t​t​l​e​-​f​e​d​e​r​a​l​-​a​g​e​n​t​s​-​a​c​c​u​s​e​d​-​a​c​t​i​n​g​-​l​i​k​e​-​t​h​e​y​r​e​-​T​i​e​n​a​n​m​e​n​-​S​q​u​a​r​e​-​f​i​g​h​t​-​d​i​s​p​u​t​e​d​-​r​a​n​c​h​-​l​a​n​d​.​h​tml.

BLACK SECOND-CLASS CITIZENSHIP.

From Ferguson Missouri , to New York city New York, from Cleveland Ohio to Baltimore Maryland the press­ing issue of police killing unarmed black men is front and center.
Black cit­i­zens amass to protest these killings and the gov­ern­ment responds with mas­sive show and use of force.

The shock­ing thing to me is that they actu­al­ly obey the gov­ern­men­t’s cur­fews in these instances.
Why would you allow the gov­ern­ment to tell you to go home and stay home at 10.00pm until 5.00 am the next day?
You are an adult, it’s your city, it’s your coun­try, isn’t it?
You are demon­strat­ing against police killings yet you bow to the very same police dic­tates , threats and intimidation?
Who do you expect to take you seri­ous­ly after that?

If you have a Government of the peo­ple for the peo­ple and by the peo­ple, why are they killing your chil­dren and using the very same agents to herd you like cat­tle into des­ig­nat­ed areas when you protest?
Why do you allow them to tell you where you may stand?
Why do you allow them to tell you when you may stand there?
Why do you allow them to tell you if you may stand there?
What are they going to do gun you all down?

The American black has grow so accus­tomed to being beat down they don’t even know what they want.
It is shock­ing to hear them talk about their great neigh­bor­hoods in Baltimore after a few build­ings went up in smoke.
In some of those neigh­bor­hoods unem­ploy­ment stand at fifty percent.
Gang vio­lence is the norm.
Poverty abounds.
Police assault and kill with no accountability.
To date they still have not both­ered to tell the fam­i­ly of Freddy Gray how come their son end­ed up with a bro­ken neck and sev­ered spine in their custody.
Yet they lis­ten to the uncon­scionable white struc­ture tell them to trust the system.
The same sys­tem which is an “unjust crim­i­nal system”.

When you final­ly gath­er up the will to demon­strate you allow the white pow­er struc­ture through it’s cor­po­rate media to tell you to say your neigh­bor­hoods are great.
I though it was the pover­ty and hope­less­ness which bred the drug-deal­ing and death?
I thought it was the per­va­sive dis­re­gard the pow­er struc­ture had for you which allows the police to dis­re­spect you?
I thought you were march­ing because your sons and hus­bands, broth­ers and nephews were being mauled and killed in the streets by the armed goons they place to keep you in check?
Do you still believe they are there to pro­tect you?
How then do you go on tele­vi­sion to lament when the youth speak in the only lan­guage the pow­er struc­ture understand?
Even King who believed in the fal­la­cy of non-vio­lence, under­stood the rea­son for riot­ing. Stating quote.“Rioting is the lan­guage of the unheard”.

Those who per­pet­u­al­ly talk about vio­lence solves noth­ing, are the most afraid of violence.
They are the ones who do not want the apple cart up-ended.
They are the ones who ben­e­fit from police oppress­ing the underclass.
It is trag­ic when the under­class believes and buys into the lie that march­ing will some­how solve it’s problems.
What has changed since King and oth­ers marched over 50 years ago?
They want order with­out giv­ing you justice.
Both sides have some­thing to give , both sides have some­thing to lose.
They want order and peace then demand justice.
You have giv­en them 400 years of blood and servi­tude and they keep demand­ing you wait .
Wait for what ?
What kind of peo­ple are you who are more con­cerned with what your ene­my thinks of you than to have your dig­ni­ty and self-respect?
How do you expect oth­ers to grav­i­tate to your cause when you fold like a cheap tent in the face of intimidation?
How can you pre­fer to live on your knees than die on your feet?

Rather than adopt mea­sures to fix the dan­ger­ous­ly smol­der­ing prob­lem of police abuse in America, state Governors trot out nation­al guards to show force when the vol­cano erupt in places.
How long do they think they will be able to play whack-a-mole?

This is a sys­temic prob­lem which has per­sist­ed for a long time . Police abuse is noth­ing new in America,

if you tune out the noise of America’s self-right­eous hypocrisy about human rights you real­ize just how bad­ly America’s police forces are, when com­pared to police depart­ments in oth­er coun­tries in the west­ern world.

In truth they get away with abuse of black cit­i­zens large­ly because the black com­mu­ni­ty is a frac­tured dis­ori­ent­ed enti­ty with dif­fer­ing and self serv­ing positions.
As such state Legislators are under no pres­sure to reign in their police depart­ments. Police depart­ments for their part gen­er­al­ly oper­ate as laws onto them­selves with lit­tle or no over­sight or accountability.

There are no uni­formed account­abil­i­ty for Americans killed by the tens of thou­sands of law-enforce­ment agen­cies around the country. 
It is basi­cal­ly left up to Agencies like the American Civil Liberties Union to try to fig­ure out how many cit­i­zens are killed by agents of the government.

As America project it’s influ­ence abroad, one built on the mis­nomer of equal­i­ty on democ­ra­cy, the

spo­radic erup­tion of vio­lence on it’s streets expos­es the abuse of minori­ties at home.
This abuse is not new, it has char­ac­ter­ized the soul of America since it’s inception.
What is hap­pen­ing now is that the world is able to see for itself what America’s minor­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties have com­plained of all along.

Sadly the prob­lem of police abuse will not be going any­where any­time soon.
As we have main­tained in these columns before,the issue of police abuse must be addressed at the lev­el of state legislatures.
State leg­is­la­tures are respon­si­ble for enact­ing laws which gov­ern every­one includ­ing cops.
Police depart­ments are agents of the state.
They do what they do at the behest of the states.
When they kill ‚they do so on the author­i­ty grant­ed to them by the states.
When they are not held account­able , it’s the states deci­sion not to hold them accountable.

Hurling bot­tles and stones at police, burn­ing busi­ness­es will not fix the problem.
State Governors and leg­is­la­tures must be held account­able for the actions of their agents.
Incredibly for black America there will be no return on the 1.3 tril­lion dol­lars it is slat­ed to spend this

year on goods and services.
Just recent­ly com­pa­nies like Walmart and a host of oth­ers were up in arms against Indiana’s reli­gious free­dom law.

That law said peo­ple have a right to refuse per­form­ing ser­vices to homo­sex­u­als if that ser­vice con­flicts with their reli­gious belief.
Where is their sup­port for the tens of thou­sands of black men killed in America over the decades, even when the killings hap­pen in their store as hap­pened to John Crawford in Beaver Creek Ohio?

The busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty does not care about the mon­ey blacks spend. They know that mon­ey will not stop. They know that as a peo­ple blacks are splin­tered and with­out leadership.
They under­stand full well that even if devel­oped, no strat­e­gy of with­hold­ing sup­port to their busi­ness­es would be suc­cess­ful because of the unco­op­er­a­tive nature of blacks.

A unco­op­er­a­tive nature which is cen­tered around a rapa­cious con­sumerist desire for mate­r­i­al pos­ses­sions, cou­pled with it’s desire to seek val­i­da­tion through its spending.
Conversely they are ful­ly aware that Homosexuals have

seri­ous mon­ey pow­er but most impor­tant­ly they are immense­ly capa­ble of gal­va­niz­ing sup­port to their cause.

It’s absolute­ly shock­ing to hear the black talk­ing heads on tele­vi­sion when­ev­er an American city erupts in vio­lence against police crimes.
The nar­ra­tive is cer­tain­ly nev­er cen­tered on the burn­ing issue at hand which is America’s killing of unarmed black men.
The con­ver­sa­tion is always deflect­ed to the periph­er­al issues of pover­ty, lack of jobs and oppor­tunists which though ger­mane are not cen­tral to the burn­ing issue of police violence.

Police are not killing peo­ple because they are poor, they are doing so because they do not believe they will be held accountable.
They do not believe they will be sent to prison.
That’s whats at issue.

Another American city erupts in violence.
This time it’s Baltimore Maryland over the death of Freddy Grey who died from a sev­ered spine while in Police custody.
It is the same as usu­al Grey was a crim­i­nal with an expan­sive rap-sheet.
Police effect a vio­lent arrest took him into cus­tody and now he is dead.

For some in the White com­mu­ni­ty it’s no big deal it’s just anoth­er nig­ger dead.
For the black com­mu­ni­ty it is one more exam­ple of police act­ing as judge jury and executioner.
Many in the Black com­mu­ni­ty believe racial diver­si­ty in police depart­ments is the answer to the epi­dem­ic of police bru­tal­i­ty in America.
I dis­agree it has any­thing to do with the way police behave.

Lost in the noise as always, is the nev­er end­ing litany or periph­er­al issues affect­ing the African-American com­mu­ni­ty, it makes good talk­ing points until the winds died down and it’s back to the status-quo.
The fact of the mat­ter is that police depart­ments have to take respon­si­bil­i­ty for the actions of the peo­ple they put into the com­mu­ni­ties to act as police officers. 

During Martin O’Malley’s admin­is­tra­tion as may­or, the depart­ment had become 43% African American.^[25] While progress has been made to improve the depart­men­t’s rela­tion­ship with Baltimore’s now major­i­ty African American com­mu­ni­ty, improve­ments are still being made to the depart­ment which for sev­er­al years has been sub­ject to crit­i­cism for its treat­ment of African American cit­i­zens. Police com­mu­ni­ty rela­tions have remained strained with the war on drugs that has plagued sev­er­al African American neigh­bor­hoods in East and West Baltimore and coin­ci­den­tal­ly enough, many of the most despised offi­cers in sev­er­al of Baltimore’s African American neigh­bor­hoods are also African American.wikipedia.

How long do they think they will be able to sus­tain the sim­mer­ing caul­dron of anger and resent­ment that is threat­en­ing to engulf us all?
When Dr.King marched and fought over 50 years ago the num­ber one issue fac­ing black Americans was police brutality.
Today the prob­lem is the same.
States in America have demon­strat­ed a mad­den­ing tone-deaf­ness in deal­ing with the issues of police bru­tal­i­ty and murder.
Governors elect­ed by the peo­ple stand with police abuse of black citizens.
American Governors reac­tion to police abuse with­ing their states have the pre­dictable default posi­tion of mobi­liz­ing the nation­al guard.

The truth is some are afraid to tack­le police unions and oth­ers do not care to do any­thing about the problem.
The police should take no com­fort in the silence or tac­it acqui­es­cence of some with­in the white com­mu­ni­ty who sup­port them when they engage in crim­i­nal conduct.
They are the ones who will face the music when the pal­pa­ble anger becomes too much to be kept under a lid.
They can talk about loot­ing and destruc­tion of prop­er­ty all they want, rather than con­demn they bet­ter learn the per­ti­nent lessons real fast.
We shall over­come will not appease this generation .… 

There is a war going on in America.
It’s not the war on ter­ror they tell you about, it is the war on black men by their own Government.
The American Civil Liberties Union reports that over 100 Americans were killed at the hands of police in just the month of January.
Digest that just for a minute.….…

Every time there is a police killing, the police and their sup­port­ers, includ­ing elect­ed offi­cials move the goal-post on the lat­i­tude cops have under the laws o kill black people.
We have seen an unarmed Michael Brown killed and left in the streets of Ferguson like a piece of road-kill.
We are told that the cop had every right to fire those bul­lets into him because he was a thug who deserved to die.
Now we know that it’s okay for the police to exter­mi­nate those in soci­ety white peo­ple do not like, what bet­ter way to do it than under the cov­er of the law?

We watched as Eric Garner had the life squeezed out of him by Daniel Pantaleo ‚a Staten Island cop.
The sys­tem tells us there was no crime com­mit­ted , despite Garner repeat­ed­ly telling the bunch of sav­ages on top of him that he could­n’t breathe.
Garner had com­mit­ted no crime, and cer­tain­ly had a right to resist being harassed and or arrest­ed. Long Island Congressman Peter King a Republican tells us if some­one can’t breathe they can’t speak.
King is not a Doctor, nei­ther is he qual­i­fied to speak on med­ical issues.
It did not pre­vent the igno­rant jack­ass from open­ing his pie-hole and mak­ing him­self look even more stu­pid than his appearance.

What hap­pened to telling some­one “you are under arrest”?
Why do cops go out look­ing to abuse and kill people?
Don’t you dare tell me they do not go out look­ing to kill people!!
many of them do.
Let’s cut the bull..
They do not serve the inter­est of the pub­lic, well not the black segment.
Which may argue why so many whites have no prob­lem with the mass police slaugh­ter of blacks in America.
Every lit­tle jack­ass of a cop now sees himself/​herself as a Rambo super-cop.
The most incon­se­quen­tial , triv­ial sit­u­a­tions are imme­di­ate­ly esca­lat­ed in order that they may show they have the pow­er to take life and inflict pain.
Just how much longer do they believe they will get away with this.

Why does every sim­ple arrest always have to be about 6 guys pil­ing onto a sin­gle suspect?
In many cas­es con­fronta­tion could eas­i­ly be avoid­ed if offi­cers sim­ply ask sus­pect to turn around and sub­mit to being arrested.
Why does every arrest have to be esca­lat­ed into a Rambo style take-down?
The sim­ple truth is many of these guys run­ning around as cops see some sec­tions of the pop­u­la­tion as the enemy.
Many have returned from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
They have been giv­en homes in Police depart­ments all across the country.
In many instances the hard­ware at their dis­pos­al are the same as that which they had on the battlefields.
Everything is in place.
They need an ene­my and a war.…..
This is not to say every sol­dier who returned and became a cop is a dan­ger to the pub­lic, but many are.
Neither does it mean that there aren’t many non-mil­i­tary psy­chopaths wear­ing police uni­forms who get to act out their aggres­sion on America’s most hat­ed race, while hid­ing behind a badge.
Since Barack Obama was elect­ed President there has been a mas­sive rise in white groups all across the country.
So too has there been more and more instances of white suprema­cists in America’s police departments.
It is no coin­ci­dence that there are more slaugh­ter of blacks by whites dressed up in police uni­forms than at any oth­er time.

Whether it’s mul­ti­ple rounds into the bod­ies of the unarmed Michael Brown , Tamir Rice, John Crawford,and the scores of face­less others.
Whether it’s the chok­ing death of Eric Garner as he pleads with them to release their death grip.
Or whether its the sev­ered spine of Freddie Gary, the list of police atroc­i­ties go unabat­ed while states do noth­ing to har­ness the wan­ton waste of life by their Agents.
This car­nage did not start yes­ter­day, it won’t end tomorrow.
It will end when black peo­ple make it end.
It did not begin with 41 bul­lets which snuffed out the life of Amado Diallio , nei­ther did it begin with the sav­age bar­bar­ic act of sodomy on Abner Louima by a NYPD mon­ster named Justin Volpe.
It con­tin­ue to hap­pen because pro police racist dem­a­gogues con­tin­ue to spread the lie that America’s police are the best in the world.
Nothing could be fur­ther from the truth.

US President Barack Obama’s breeze through Jamaica may be a savory moment for the Portia Simpson Miller led admin­is­tra­tion in Kingston, but Jamaica will see pre­cious lit­tle from his pit-stop tour though the Island Nation.

China’s grow­ing influ­ence in the region is not lost on Washington. As such tra­di­tion­al allies has large­ly been ignored since Obama took office. Jamaica’s pit-stop stop in was not much more than a farewell tour for Obama on American tax-pay­ers dime.
Chinese influ­ence is on the rise in the Caribbean and Latin America, as it is in many oth­er regions of the Globe.
As America grap­ples with main­tain­ing it’s empire , while jug­gling hot-spots some cre­at­ed from ill-advised wars, the Chinese are large­ly allowed a free hand in Africa and the America’s.
Of course the Chinese come with cash and lots of it.
The Caribbean like oth­er regions of the world has seen America’s influ­ence chal­lenged by Chinese cash.
Unlike the Soviet-era Ideological clash between east and west, this clash of influ­ence is all about who has mon­ey to dole out.
Obama under­stand loy­al­ties are influ­enced by mon­ey so a quick pit stop to an old ally Jamaica will keep the Jamaicans hap­py for a few more years.
Relaxing the embar­go on Cuba .….
That’s a dif­fer­ent mat­ter , after half a cen­tu­ry of eco­nom­ic block­ade the Cuban Revolution is still intact.
The last thing America needs is a new set of com­mu­nist lead­ers after the Castro broth­ers exit the stage who are friend­ly with a bel­liger­ent Russia and a cash-strong emerg­ing China.

For it’s part, Cuba ever anx­ious to shed the shack­les of eco­nom­ic stran­gu­la­tion will be will­ing to play ball with America.
Already the Cuban President Raul Castro has demon­strat­ed his affec­tion for Obama, say­ing Obama is a hon­est man.
Of course Obama will be look­ing to extract some valu­able con­ces­sions from the Cubans in order to start nor­mal­iz­ing rela­tions between the two countries.
The America right-wing will not relent unless it sub­jects it’s ene­mies to embar­rass­ment and humil­i­a­tion. As such, Barack Obama will be forced to demand stiff con­ces­sions from Cuba before the Right wing Republicans and even some Democrats will be will­ing to con­sid­er nor­mal­iz­ing rela­tions with the com­mu­nist Island.

Cuba has been home to many dis­si­dents some of whom have fled from America.
The ques­tion now, is whether Cuba flush with excite­ment will offer up these polit­i­cal pris­on­ers to cur­ry favor with America.
After all they have no eco­nom­ic value.
They have already served their pur­pose as pro­pa­gan­da pawns in the 50-plus year long psy­cho­log­i­cal war between the two countries.
Only time will tell.…

It’s nev­er end­ing, a sit­u­a­tion in law enforce­ment which ought to end rather mild­ly with the arrest of a sus­pect, ends with the sus­pect dead.
Oh by the way the sus­pect is male and just hap­pen to be African-American.
Welcome to the era of the American Warrior cop.
It is sick­en­ing what is hap­pen­ing and it real­ly begs the ques­tion , “who the hell will save Black-America?
I ask this because Black-America is bliss­ful­ly uncon­cerned about it’s own survival. 

Eric Harris was shot and killed by a reserve deputy who fired his gun after alleged­ly mis­tak­ing it for his taser, accord­ing to a state­ment from the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office.

It was a mis­take. That’s the blasé expla­na­tion Oklahoma offi­cials gave after the fatal shoot­ing of an unarmed black man by a white deputy who acci­den­tal­ly pulled his gun when he meant to use his Taser. The encounter was cap­tured on a dis­turb­ing video released by police on Friday — nine days after the fatal Tulsa shooting.

Harris bolt­ed from offi­cers who were try­ing to arrest him for sell­ing a 9 mm. semi­au­to­mat­ic pis­tol and ammu­ni­tion to under­cov­er cops. Harris, who was unarmed, had report­ed­ly done time for assault and bat­tery on an offi­cer. He was “absolute­ly a threat when going down,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark said at a news con­fer­ence. Sheriff’s Capt. Billy McKelvey claims the arrest­ing offi­cers were not aware Harris had been shot, despite the gun­shot noise and Bates’ admis­sion. They called para­medics and fire­fight­ers, and ren­dered aid when they real­ized, McKelvey said. “He made an inad­ver­tent mis­take,” McKelvey said.
Sgt. Dave Walker told the Tulsa World that police “would not inves­ti­gate the death unless the sheriff’s office asked them to, and they have not asked us to.”

“He shot me! He shot me, man. Oh, my god. I’m los­ing my breath,” Eric Harris says as he strug­gles on the ground fol­low­ing the April 2 shoot­ing, which flew under the radar until video emerged a week later.
“Fuck your breath, “Shut the fuck up!”  One of the Savages shout­ed at Harris.
“You shouldn’t have fuck­ing ran!” anoth­er of the sav­ages screamed.
Eric Harris was pro­nounced dead less than an hour later.
In actu­al­i­ty he may have died right there as the bunch of sav­ages dressed in police attire knelt on his head and kept squeez­ing as the life drained out of him.
Eric Harris died as Eric Garner did.
As tens of thou­sands, arguably mil­lions, tens of mil­lions over the decades, have died at the hands of white Americans and their enforcers.

FUCK YOUR BREATH

The nar­ra­tive sur­round­ing the mur­der of Eric Harris is that 73 year-old Robert Bates the pay-to-play wannabe cop should not have been involved in the sting oper­a­tion which brought Harris down.
The total­i­ty of the dis­cus­sion com­plete­ly excludes the fact that there was absolute­ly no need to ini­ti­ate the use of a taser under the con­di­tions in the video as there were sev­er­al cops on top of Harris who was already sub­dued, includ­ing kneel­ing on his head.
I used the term mur­der in this case despite what we see in the video of mis­ter Bates’s appar­ent shock after fir­ing his weapon.
I do not believe Robert Bates is guilty of murder.
As a for­mer police offi­cer, I am inclined to give him the ben­e­fit of what we saw in the video.
He did not intend to pull and fire his weapon into Eric Harris.
The Department which allowed him to par­tic­i­pate in that sting must be held accountable.
The real mur­der­ers are the oth­er sav­ages, those who shout­ed exple­tives at a sub­dued Eric Harris, ridi­cul­ing his claim that he was los­ing his breath.
Eric Garner was choked to death on Staten Island by macho cop Daniel Pantaleo .
Garner told police sev­er­al times he could not breathe, Pantaleo kept up the pres­sure until Eric Garner was dead.
The NYPD and it’s sup­port­ers still do not get it, they claim if you can­not breath you can­not talk.
What absolute ignorance.
By that mea­sure they are allowed to apply pres­sure to a sus­pect until he can­not speak.
Only then are these demons con­vinced that some­one may actu­al­ly be hav­ing seri­ous prob­lems breathing.
When they have no breath left.
As the world saw Eric Garner is lay­ing in a cemetery.
Daniel Pantaleo did not even have to answer to a court of law for mur­der­ing him in plain view of the entire world.
There is a cal­lous dis­re­gard for the life of black peo­ple in America.
The police are just the enforcers, the real prob­lem is the white struc­ture which stands behind and allows it because it serves their interest.

The Wall Street Journal one of the Nation’s lead­ing Conservative Publication,and an enti­ty no one could accuse of being slack in it’s sup­port of cops,stated in a Aug. 7^th.2013 Article Titled, Rise of the war­rior cop.
Quote: “Since the 1960s, in response to a range of per­ceived threats, law-enforce­ment agen­cies across the U.S., at every lev­el of gov­ern­ment, have been blur­ring the line between police offi­cer and sol­dier. Driven by mar­tial rhetoric and the avail­abil­i­ty of mil­i­tary-style equip­ment — from bay­o­nets and M‑16 rifles to armored per­son­nel car­ri­ers — American police forces have often adopt­ed a mind-set pre­vi­ous­ly reserved for the bat­tle­field. The war on drugs and, more recent­ly, post‑9/​11 anti-ter­ror­ism efforts have cre­at­ed a new fig­ure on the U.S. scene: the war­rior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harsh­ly with tar­get­ed wrong­do­ers, and a grow­ing threat to famil­iar American liberties”.

The per­ceived wrong­do­ers are America’s black male.
Every arrest is esca­lat­ed into a mil­i­tary style event.
Events which under nor­mal cir­cum­stances would not raise an eye­brow were they done in the nor­mal ways of policing.
The idea that a sus­pect would run seem to be some­thing incon­ceiv­able these days.
One of the rea­son for this are laws which make it a crime to run from police.
This gives the new war­rior cop the idea that he now has the right to mur­der a flee­ing suspect.
The war­rior cop is now cop, pros­e­cu­tor, judge and executioner.
To hell with the pre­sump­tion of inno­cence, to hell with due process.
Welcome to the world of the Patriot Act and the new police state.

At the begin­ning of this Article I asked who “who will save Black-America?
I asked that ques­tion in the con­text of the way in which the black talk­ing-heads who hap­pen to make it onto tele­vi­sion allow the dis­cus­sion to go.
They all seem some­how stuck in the throes of slav­ery , unable to extri­cate them­selves from the nar­ra­tive designed by the slave-master.
The killing of Eric Harris was avoid­able. Yes Harris was engaged in a crime but if America is to be believed, cops do not get to apply the death penal­ty at their leisure and discretion.

A flee­ing sus­pect is not an anom­aly, faced with prison peo­ple run , it is a nor­mal human reaction.
It is not a licence for sadis­tic sav­ages to kill someone.
More and more the world is get­ting a view into the sor­did bel­ly which is America’s mytho­log­i­cal Justice system.
A sys­tem which sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly allows it’s agents to unlaw­ful­ly kill it’s own cit­i­zens with­out con­se­quence, while berat­ing oth­er nations about civ­il and human rights.
The hypocrisy is stun­ning yet under­stand­able by those who always main­tained that America’s crim­i­nal Justice sys­tem was actu­al­ly two sep­a­rate sys­tems, one for whites and one for every­one else.
The poor pathet­ic black talk­ing heads are unable to see that the real tragedy of Eric Harris’ killing is not that he was shot by an old man, but that after he was shot a group of sav­ages act­ing under the aus­pices of the law, knelt on his head until he was dead, all while hurl­ing exple­tive-laced insults at him.

The new default posi­tion is that a black man who was tick­et­ed as a col­lege stu­dent for jay-walk­ing may be jus­ti­fi­ably killed forty years lat­er, because he received that ticket.
Now any­one famil­iar with America’s sys­tem of jus­tice under­stands how young black men are tar­get­ed by law-enforcement.
For a young black male to avoid police con­tact he must almost make him­self invisible.
This makes every black male killed by police, deserv­ing of death.
Until the almost 40 mil­lion black peo­ple in America decide enough is enough there will be no change.

Nothing gets my blood boil­ing than to hear peo­ple on National tele­vi­sion pars­ing and ratio­nal­iz­ing away murder.
Murder is mur­der, to the white peo­ple who seek to blow smoke up peo­ples prover­bial ass stop already.
Not all black peo­ple are stu­pid. You defend mur­der because it’s not your unarmed loved ones who are being gunned down in cold blood.
Lets cut to the chase, when you go on tele­vi­sion to talk about law enforce­ment as if you are the sole author­i­ty on how the laws are to be enforced you make your­selves look stupid.
We are well aware a lot of you are quite con­tent with police mur­der­ing peo­ple of color.
It’s with the same cal­lous dis­patch with which many of you speak about bomb­ing oth­er coun­tries, so we do under­stand that as long as you are not affect­ed by the killings it, quite kosher.

• Now that I have said my piece lets look at some sim­ple rules that police are sup­posed to abide by .
  You do not use lethal force[fire at a flee­ing per­son] unless the per­son pos­es a threat to your life as an offi­cer or that of anoth­er person.
• This means if the flee­ing sus­pect has a gun and is fir­ing at the offi­cer while run­ning away the offi­cer is jus­ti­fied in using lethal force to neu­tral­ize the threat.[take the sus­pect out.
• An offi­cer may also use lethal force if a flee­ing sus­pect pos­es immi­nent threat to the life of another.even though the sus­pect may not be armed, if the sus­pect is run­ning away with a child and has expressed an intent to harm the child , an offi­cer is jus­ti­fied in using lethal force.
• I Believe by now most peo­ple have seen the bru­tal and cal­lous slay­ing of 50-year-old Walter Scott by 33-year-old South Carolina cop Michael Slager.

• 

There is no way to jus­ti­fy what we saw in that video, yet there are peo­ple try­ing their darnedest to make you believe that some­thing may have tran­spired in the gap between the dash-cam video and mis­ter Santana’s cell-phone video.
I am here to tell you that whether some­thing occurred or not , what­ev­er it is, at the time when Michael Slager dis­charged his weapon 8 times hit­ting Walter Scott 5 times, Walter Scott was run­ning away.
Walter Scott posed absolute­ly no threat to the armed police offi­cer or any­one else.
That is the rea­son his depart­ment quick­ly fired him and he is sit­ting in a jail cell on mur­der charges.

Slager’s Department knows when offi­cers may jus­ti­fi­ably shoot some­one and they know when they can­not legal­ly do so.
This was a bad shoot­ing. Not only is it bad it came at a time when there is increased scruti­ny of police use of dead­ly force across the coun­try, in the wake of the killing of sev­er­al unarmed men large­ly African-American.
I don’t know whether Michael Slager is a racist, that is not my argument.
There are African-Americans who say the stop was for a friv­o­lous infrac­tion I disagree .
The stop was sup­pos­ed­ly about a bro­ken tail light on a Mercedes auto­mo­bile that Walter Scott was driving.
Police have a right and a respon­si­bil­i­ty to police our streets.
They use minor traf­fic infrac­tions such as bro­ken tail lights to tamp down on more seri­ous offences.
Of course Mister Scott sup­pos­ed­ly did not have the papers for the car.
An offi­cer nev­er knows whats going to hap­pen when he/​she ini­ti­ates a traf­fic stop.
Traffic stops for what appear to be minor infrac­tions some­times yield great law-enforce­ment rewards.
What upsets peo­ple of col­or is when police abuse the pow­er to make those traf­fic stops. Using that pow­er to intim­i­date and harass, or tar­get them for tax revenue.
During the stop Officer Slager was pret­ty cour­te­ous, so was mis­ter Scott. Of course none of that mat­ter anymore.
There was no jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for the mas­sive esca­la­tion which end­ed in the death of Walter Scott.

Nothing to the con­trary they tell you is any­thing but blow­ing smoke up your behind. It was mur­der plain and simple.
Slager may be a racist, he may not be a racist, the prob­lem with police is the cul­tur­al dis­re­spect they have for black people.
Walter Scott is a vic­tim and Michael Slager may very well be a vic­tim of that cul­tur­al dis­re­spect as well.
Michael Slager would nev­er pull the trig­ger at a 50 year ‑old white male run­ning away , in which case he would not be sit­ting in a jail cell today.
The entire sys­tem is on tri­al, police offi­cers are not held account­able in America. There is a cult-like wor­ship of cops which cre­ates the impres­sion that they can do no wrong.
I too believe in the rule of law.
I spent a good part of my life enforc­ing laws. I have spent my entire life observ­ing and obey­ing laws.
With that said, when the laws are applied uneven­ly or used as a tool of oppres­sion of any of our cit­i­zens then the entire rule of law becomes a lie, and a fraud.
The unde­ni­able truth of it all is that police kill because they get away with it more often than not.
This lack of account­abil­i­ty cre­ates more killings by those we hire to pro­tect us.
Unfortunately for us, the peo­ple we hire to pro­tect us are becom­ing the peo­ple who pose the great­est exis­ten­tial threat to us.

No I will not offer a sub-text about the great work offi­cers do and the risk they take !
I will leave that to the uncon­scionable police apol­o­gists whose inter­ests are served by the elim­i­na­tion of the feared black man.
Every police offi­cer takes the oath of his/​her free will.
That includ­ed me when I signed up as a young recruit in 1982.
I removed a lot of guns from the streets I was also instru­men­tal in help­ing to secure the incar­cer­a­tion of seri­ous felons dur­ing my stint.
I have been shot at on many occa­sions. I did the job in one of the world’s tough­est cities, Kingston Jamaica.
Oh by the way I was also shot in the line of duty.
None of my life expe­ri­ences taught me that the wan­ton waste of life we are wit­ness­ing by police today in America is justified.
Don’t buy it for one minute.
The ACLU in a recent report , details that for the month of January 2015 Cops across the United States killed over 100 people.
That’s aver­age of 1’200 peo­ple annu­al­ly. https://​mike​beck​les​.com/​o​v​e​r​-​1​0​0​-​p​e​o​p​l​e​-​w​e​r​e​-​k​i​l​l​e​d​-​b​y​-​p​o​l​i​c​e​-​i​n​-​m​a​r​c​h​-​h​o​w​-​m​a​n​y​-​m​o​r​e​-​w​i​l​l​-​i​t​-​t​a​ke/

The advent of video and cell­phone cam­eras have opened a win­dow to what peo­ple have com­plained about all along.

States are large­ly com­fort­able with the police as fear­some enforcers, after all they are pre­cious lit­tle more than tax-col­lec­tors. They keep the peas­ants in check and fill cof­fers with enforce­ment rev­enue, large­ly on the backs of the poor­est and those least able to afford it.
What’s not to like ?
When was the last time you heard a Governor vig­or­ous­ly speak out in defense of cit­i­zens who are vic­tims of police abuse?
Even when they are forced to respond to the atroc­i­ties hap­pen­ing in their states their reac­tion is more def­er­ence to police than empa­thy to the vic­tims of their brutish aggression.
Cruise down any high­way on a sun­ny day police cruis­ers every­where in bush­es or have motorists pulled over, some­times at great dan­ger to the pub­lic because of where they chose to pull motorists over.
Some still actu­al­ly believe they are there for their pro​tec​tion​.By the way In have a bridge for sale. 
Cruise down the same high­way on a rainy day and you are hard pressed to see a sin­gle squad car.
If you have a fend­er-ben­der you are like­ly to be told that there are not enough offi­cers and those who on duty are already attend­ing to accidents.
The truth is they put them out there to col­lect rev­enue when it’s sun­ny, you are on your own when it rains.
These police killings occur because white peo­ple want it to . They have no prob­lem with white cops killing black men, they nev­er did.
Until the guns are trained on their sons they do not see a problem.
You know how it is “those peo­ple must be contained”?
They were pret­ty cool with the Klan-lynch­ings , they are cool with the cop-lynchings.
The only thing changed are the uniforms.

After 34 years of ser­vice to the Jamaica Constabulary Force Owen Ellington attend­ed an impromp­tu meet­ing at Kings House, at the time of the meet­ing it was report­ed that Portia Simpson Miller, the nation’s Prime Minister was on a flight out of the country.
Peter Bunting the coun­try’s nation­al secu­ri­ty min­is­ter announced then that he was advised by Ellington that he was step­ping down from his post and would pro­ceed on leave July 1^st 2014, after which he would for­mal­ly depart the Department.

The nation was nev­er for­mal­ly told the real rea­son why the pub­lic ser­vant of 34 years sud­den­ly stepped down.

Ellington was a fan of the elites of upper St. Andrew.
He was seen as a reformer who had fired unprece­dent­ed amounts of offi­cers from the depart­ment who were alleged to have con­tra­vened the depart­men­t’s rules or were active­ly involved in crimes.
Ellington also took the con­tro­ver­sial step of mak­ing the depart­men­t’s week­ly pub­li­ca­tion (the force orders) a pub­lic document.
This pub­li­ca­tion was out­raged when Ellington took that step, we felt then and still believe now, that a pri­vate inter­nal memo which cat­a­logs per­son­nel and oth­er depart­ment pro­to­cols has no busi­ness in the hands of mem­bers of the pub­lic, unless through a court order for spe­cial circumstances.

Ellington was hired as police com­mis­sion­er under the Jamaica Labor Party Administration of Bruce Golding.
He was respon­si­ble as police chief, for rout­ing Christopher (Dudus) Coke from his strong-hold in 2010, dur­ing which an esti­mat­ed 73 peo­ple lost their lives.
Police Officers and mem­bers of the mil­i­tary were wound­ed and killed, police sta­tions were torched, oth­ers took sus­tained gun­fire from heav­i­ly armed mercenaries.
Despite Ellington’s attempts at reform and house clean­ing of the force, there were forces at work in Jamaica which were paint­ing a dif­fer­ent pic­ture of events.
This includ­ed the Jamaican’s for Justice,(JFJ), Families against state ter­ror­ism (FAST) , the Peace Management Initiative,(PMI) , (INDECOM) and others.
Some of these groups became pro­fes­sion­al agi­ta­tors against the crime fight­ing efforts of the police.
The head of Jamaicans for Justice Carolyn Gomes, rode to fame on the backs of police, cop­ping a nation­al hon­or in the process, pos­ing as a cham­pi­on for social justice.[sic]

Gomes and oth­ers fed infor­ma­tion to their han­dlers in Washington DC , London, and Ottowa that there was mas­sive ille­gal killings by the JCF.
They cre­at­ed fic­ti­tious death squads and cre­at­ed the impres­sion that the mem­bers of the JCF were a bunch of mur­der­ing lunatics.
In many cas­es their reports were void of data sup­port­ive of their claims of ram­pant extra-judi­cial killing by police.
In oth­er instances their reports used data already cred­i­bly debunked.
Their one-sided reports did not take into account the num­ber of offi­cers killed or wound­ed in encoun­ters where lethal force was employed by police.
Neither did those reports take into account the bru­tal­i­ty and deprav­i­ty of the coun­try’s criminals.
This does not mean that there were not police offi­cers who were engaged in crim­i­nal actions. or were in fact guilty of extra-judi­cial killings.
The notion that he entire JCF was an out of con­trol killer orga­ni­za­tion was far from the truth.
Unfortunately for hard work­ing mem­bers of the depart­ment they had no one in their cor­ner despite their sac­ri­fices, not even Owen Ellington.

Charges of mas­sive extra-judi­cial killings, death squads and the Tivoli events of 2010 are rumored to be the events which cause Ellington to sud­den­ly step aside.
At the time Ellington stepped aside he indi­cat­ed that his deci­sion to retire was based on the need to sep­a­rate him­self from the lead­er­ship and man­age­ment of the Force pri­or to the begin­ning of the immi­nent Commission of Enquiry into the con­duct of the Operations of the Security Forces in Western Kingston and oth­er areas dur­ing the lim­it­ed State of Emergency in 2010.

A June 13.2013 New York Times Article report­ed on the American Federal Law which affects coun­tries with which the United States have bilat­er­al secu­ri­ty arrangements.
The 16-year-old law that bars American aid to for­eign secu­ri­ty forces that vio­late human rights is draw­ing unusu­al fire from some top mil­i­tary com­man­ders who say it under­mines their abil­i­ty to train the troops to fight mil­i­tants and drug traffickers.
The com­plaints about the law’s require­ments come from sev­er­al rank­ing admi­rals and gen­er­als, includ­ing Adm. William H. McRaven, a mem­ber of the Navy SEALs who led the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and who now heads the Special Operations Command, as well as senior com­man­ders who over­see oper­a­tions in Africa and in Latin America.
At issue is the so-called Leahy amend­ment, a 1997 pro­vi­sion to a for­eign aid bill named after its author, Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, which bars the United States from pro­vid­ing train­ing or equip­ment to for­eign troops or units who com­mit “gross human rights vio­la­tions” like rape, mur­der or torture.

The revised law empha­sizes that the United States must sus­pend aid to an entire unit even if only one or two mem­bers are impli­cat­ed in human rights vio­la­tions. Assistance to the unit is sus­pend­ed while the alle­ga­tion is inves­ti­gat­ed. Aid can­not be restored until the home coun­try deals with the cul­prits, a process that can take weeks or months, if it hap­pens at all, crit­ics say.
Assistance to some Jamaican secu­ri­ty forces, for exam­ple, has been sus­pend­ed while the State Department exam­ines human rights alle­ga­tions stem­ming from an oper­a­tion in 2010 to arrest the drug lord Christopher Coke, whom the United States had request­ed for extradition.
http://​www​.nytimes​.com/​2​0​1​3​/​0​6​/​2​1​/​u​s​/​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​s​/​m​i​l​i​t​a​r​y​-​s​a​y​s​-​l​a​w​-​b​a​r​r​i​n​g​-​u​s​-​a​i​d​-​t​o​-​r​i​g​h​t​s​-​v​i​o​l​a​t​o​r​s​-​h​u​r​t​s​-​t​r​a​i​n​i​n​g​-​m​i​s​s​i​o​n​.​h​t​m​l​?​_​r=0

The United States was instru­men­tal in the Christopher Coke issue.
They demand­ed that Coke be extra­dit­ed after then Prime Minister Bruce Golding said he would not have Gays in his cabinet.
The Americans knew full well that Golding was the mem­ber of par­lia­ment from Tivoli gardens.
They also knew that extra­dit­ing Christopher Coke was a lose, lose for Golding.
It did not mat­ter, they want­ed Golding gone, and gone he was.
They want­ed a pup­pet in office, they have one.

Today Barack Obama is in Jamaica. Jamaicans at home and abroad are ecsta­t­ic about Obama’s visit.
As Obama vis­its places and Sites in Jamaica , includ­ing the Bob Marley Museum, Jamaica’s eupho­ria is gross­ly misplaced.
Because of America’s manip­u­la­tion there is more crime in Jamaica than ever before.
More Jamaicans have been deport­ed from the United States than any oth­er nation in this Hemisphere.
In many cas­es the Jamaicans deport­ed were crim­i­nal­ized for minor infrac­tions like sell­ing a few mar­i­jua­na cig­ars or for Domestic infractions.
On the streets of America, cops killed hun­dreds of peo­ple all across the nation, usu­al­ly under ques­tion­able circumstances.
There isn’t even uni­formed report­ing or cat­a­loging of those killed by police.
The vic­tims are more often than not ‚unarmed black men killed by white police officers.
Most of the abus­es and mur­der offi­cers com­mit are brushed aside. Cops basi­cal­ly kill at will,the sto­ry is usu­al­ly the same “I feared for my life”.

But none of that mat­ter, police depart­ments receive more and more equip­ment more and more aid, despite their record of abuse and mur­der of minor­i­ty groups in America.
So what will Jamaica derive from Obama visit?
Obama’s vis­it is the first of an American pres­i­dent to the coun­try since Reagan did in 1982.
Has human rights abus­es ceased in Jamaica, which would neces­si­tate a pres­i­den­tial visit?
Human rights abus­es are more ram­pant in the United States that at any oth­er time.

So the whole premise of the Leahy amend­ment is a self serv­ing talk down to small­er poor­er nations.
Portia Simpson Miller will have these images of her­self and Obama.
She will use them as val­i­da­tion for the failed poli­cies of her cor­rupt klep­to­ma­ni­ac administration.
She will say it means her par­ty is on the right track.
She will say Obama’s vis­it is val­i­da­tion of the course she is on and vin­di­ca­tion of her personally.
In fact , Obama’s vis­it is noth­ing more than pay-back to Portia for not being Bruce Golding on the gay issue.

People are always ask­ing President Obama and our First Lady, Michelle Obama how they man­age to keep them­selves and their chil­dren down to earth. Well, basi­cal­ly all you need is a moth­er to keep it real. Mrs. Obama has that in her moth­er Marian Robinson, who lives with the fam­i­ly, in the White House, and Malia and Sasha have that with their moth­er, who keeps it real, even when she’s doing press tours.

Recently, when the First Lady sat down for an appear­ance on “Live! With Kelly and Michael” they asked her about Sasha and Malia appear­ance on Time magazine’s “Most influ­en­tial teens of 2014″ list . While Mrs. Obama could have said some nice, fluffy words and pre­tend­ed to be hon­ored by the dis­tinc­tion, she dis­missed the title as a bit ridiculous.

“Yeah, I don’t know why – they’re not influ­en­tial; they just live here. They have done noth­ing to gain any influence.” 

In fact Mrs. Obama says she doesn’t even think the daugh­ters have even heard about the arti­cle.

“I don’t even think that they real­ize that they’re influ­en­tial. I don’t think any­body showed them that arti­cle, so don’t men­tion it!” 

Basically, the arti­cle said these two were influ­en­tial because Malia’s appear­ance at Coachella was more talked about than some of the con­cert acts and Sasha’s uni­corn sweater sold out with a quick­ness on Asos. So yeah, while they do have some pop cul­tur­al pull, Auntie Chelle is gen­er­al­ly right, they haven’t done any­thing yet. They still have plen­ty of time though.

The recipe to stay­ing hum­ble? A Black mama who keeps it real. You can watch Mrs. Obama’s full inter­view in the video below.

The most sweep­ing civ­il rights leg­is­la­tion passed by Congress since the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, the Civil Rights Act pro­hib­it­ed racial dis­crim­i­na­tion in employ­ment and edu­ca­tion and out­lawed racial seg­re­ga­tion in pub­lic places such as schools, bus­es, parks and swim­ming pools. In addi­tion, the bill laid impor­tant ground­work for a num­ber of oth­er pieces of leg­is­la­tion – includ­ing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which set strict rules for pro­tect­ing the right of African Americans to vote – that have since been used to enforce equal rights for women as well as all minori­ties.[History​.com]

Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signed the Act into LawJuly 2^nd 1962 after the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
For the sign­ing of the his­toric leg­is­la­tion, Johnson invit­ed hun­dreds of guests to a tele­vised cer­e­mo­ny in the White House’s East Room. After using more than 75 pens to sign the bill, he gave them away as memen­toes of the his­toric occa­sion, accord­ing to tra­di­tion. One of the first pens went to Dr Martin Luther King, leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), who called it one of his most cher­ished possessions.
I include this bit of American History for some per­spec­tive on why rel­e­vant and just mes­sage of Religious free­dom gets lost in the noise because the mes­sen­gers have dirty hands.

After sign­ing the land­mark leg­is­la­tion into law President Johnson won the elec­tions of 1964 by a lop­sided mar­gin over his Republican rival Barry Goldwater Johnson, who had suc­cess­ful­ly asso­ci­at­ed him­self with Kennedy’s pop­u­lar­i­ty, won 61.1% of the pop­u­lar vote.
Johnson served his term but did not stand for re-elec­tion four years later.
White Racists in the coun­try incensed at Johnson for what they saw as a betray­al ran from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party.
Ironically it was the Republican Party which was more aligned with the caus­es of blacks previously.

1. Abraham Lincoln issued the pre­lim­i­nary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22^nd, 1862. It stip­u­lat­ed that if the Southern states did not cease their rebel­lion by January 1^st, 1863, then Proclamation would go into effect.
   

Lincoln did sign the Emancipation dec­la­ra­tion on January 1^st 1863.
Blacks grav­i­tat­ed to the Republican Party as a result. 
Notwithstanding, it was Democrats Bobby Kennedy,Lyndon Johnson and John F Kennedy’s push, which saw the Civil Rights Act become law.
Arguably both the Emancipation Declaration and the land­mark Civil Rights Act signed by Johnson, came at crit­i­cal times when the sign­ers were left with lit­tle choice but to sign both Acts into law.
Both Lincoln and Johnson may have had great­ness thrust upon them as a result of the way events unfolded.

After Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law , racist Democrats and Republicans lit­er­al­ly hijacked the Republican Party.
Democrats have not won the South in nation­al elec­tions since.
Today blacks make up rough­ly 12% of the nation’s population.
Blacks are the most loy­al vot­ers in the Democrat Party.
The Republican par­ty has not hid­den its hos­til­i­ty to blacks and black causes. 
In fact, the only notable Republic at the recent march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 50^th com­mem­o­ra­tion of the now infa­mous blood-Sunday, was for­mer President G W Bush and his wife Laura.

Such is their dis­dain and revul­sion for black Americans and what’s impor­tant to us.
Republican can­di­dates run­ning for office vie to see who can be the most dis­re­spect­ful to blacks.
Because of that blacks are left with no ambiguity,the repub­li­can par­ty does not want or care for their support
So blacks who are not total­ly stuck in uncle-tom’s ‑cab­in can­not sup­port or vote for the Republican party.
The Democrat par­ty has not only tak­en blacks and their vote for grant­ed the par­ty does noth­ing for the black community.

In recent and ongo­ing instances of police slaugh­ter of unarmed black men, the par­ty has been con­spic­u­ous­ly silent. 
The demo­c­rat par­ty has an almost pas­sive aggres­sive rela­tion­ship with blacks.
One which says I don’t like you , but I will tol­er­ate you for your vote.
There is not a sin­gle black United States Senator in the Democrat Party, despite black­’s loy­al and pre­dictable sup­port for the party.

Based on that, it is time for blacks to form anoth­er polit­i­cal par­ty in America, their own par­ty, one which is open to all but led by blacks.
An Independent par­ty, then vote whole-sale for that party.
This new par­ty may not win a nation­al elec­tion any­time soon.
But it posi­tions our votes in a way which makes it imper­a­tive that those who need our sup­port must come to us.
Those wish­ing to form admin­is­tra­tions will be forced to lis­ten to and acqui­esce to our our con­cerns and demands.
The demands of our com­mu­ni­ty must be front and cen­ter, if they dare renege, we remove our sup­port en-block ‚and it’s back to the bal­lot box­es we go.
Change will not come because we ask for it.
Change comes when we demand it.
