Adrian Paterson indict­ed for dis­ci­plin­ing his own son.

Minnesota Vikings star run­ning back Adrian Peterson turned him­self in to Montgomery County, Texas, author­i­ties ear­ly Saturday morn­ing. He was booked into the Montgomery County jail at 1:06 a.m. CT and released at 1:35 a.m. CT after post­ing the $15,000 bond. Peterson had been indict­ed by a grand jury on charges of reck­less or neg­li­gent injury to a child and a war­rant had been issued for his arrest. He flew back ear­ly Saturday morn­ing to Minnesota, where he has been deac­ti­vat­ed for the Vikings’ home game against the Patriots on Sunday. At a news con­fer­ence on Saturday after­noon, Montgomery County first assis­tant dis­trict attor­ney Phil Grant said Peterson was charged with one count of injury to a child and could be sen­tenced to as many as two years in state jail, as well as a $10,000 fine. Probation is an option, Grant said, for defen­dants with no pri­or crim­i­nal record. Grant said only one grand jury reviewed Peterson’s case, refut­ing a report that an ini­tial grand jury reject­ed the case and it took a sec­ond grand jury to indict Peterson. He said the grand jury “was pro­vid­ed lots of evi­dence over a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of week.

Obviously a Parent is not allowed to dis­ci­pline his child. So says the Government! Never mind that Adrian Peterson was raised

using those same stan­dards. Texas author­i­ties allege the boy was spanked with a switch from a tree and marks were vis­i­ble on him. I’m no expert on dis­ci­pline, yet it seem iron­ic that the Government is in the busi­ness of telling lov­ing par­ents how, when and even if, they may dis­ci­pline their own chil­dren, yet cops are giv­en a free hand to assault and even kill with­out con­se­quence. If this is not tyran­ny , what is?

The Government hauls a car­ing father before the courts who takes the nec­es­sary steps to cor­rect his own child, yet the Government refus­es to hold killer cops who abuse and mur­der inno­cent civil­ians account­able. In fact the Government shields and pro­tects them. Robert Muller for­mer head of the FBI report­ed­ly will con­duct Investigations into the NFL as it regards domes­tic vio­lence. If this was­n’t so insult­ing I would laugh. Where is Muller , where is the National out­rage for the almost dai­ly killing and assault vis­it­ed on inno­cent peo­ple by police? Absolute Tyranny !!!

New Rochelle Welcomes Home Ray Rice.

New Rochelle wel­comed home it’s native son on Saturday. Ray turned up at his old High School with Wife Janay.Several hun­dred fans watched the game and many of them expressed sup­port for Rice. Dozens of fans wore Rice’s No. 27 Ravens jer­sey and some held signs, includ­ing one that read: ‘We love you Ray,’ and ‘New RO loves you.’

Rice for­mer High School Coach had this to say. “He made a mis­take in his life but New Rochelle is a very proud pro­gram, and once you’re a mem­ber, you’re a mem­ber for life,” DiRienzo said. “Even though Ray made a mis­take doesn’t mean we throw him out of the house. Ray’s one of my sons in my foot­ball fam­i­ly and we’d nev­er throw him out of the house.”

The mael­strom which has ensued since this inci­dent came ful­ly to light has had the oppo­site effect on me, com­pared to most . The feroc­i­ty of the attacks on Ray and even Jenay Rice, tells me this has noth­ing to do with the Rices. Every ultra-lib­er­al fem­i­nist has crawled out from under their rock to con­demn Rice. As I wrote ear­li­er the NFL is rolling over so that Robert Muller can con­duct a top to bot­tom review . Where is Muller regard­ing the cops who beat the crap out of their wives after they fin­ish beat­ing the peo­ple they come in con­tact with?

The woe­ful­ly incom­pe­tent Media is inca­pable of inves­ti­gat­ing Voter Suppression. Corruption in Government, and the tyran­ni­cal Police state in which peo­ple are being abused dai­ly. They loop end­less cycle of garbage report­ing ‚fea­tur­ing every man-hat­ing fem­i­nist they can find. In addi­tion to the many self hat­ing blacks who are too stu­pid to see through the charade.

As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article they don’t care about Jenay Rice their objec­tive is to destroy their fam­i­ly. The blood-lust pil­ing on is in fur­ther­ance of break­ing the black fam­i­ly and replac­ing it with their degen­er­ate far left fem­i­nist agen­da. It is great to see Rice’s old high school foot­ball coach stand up despite the noise and embrace Ray Rice. 

There is a lot worse crap hap­pen­ing in America wor­thy of atten­tion. Worthy of round the clock media spot­light. Worthy of top-tier inves­ti­ga­tions, yet noth­ing is being done. Leave Ray and Jenay Rice alone .

There is no vic­to­ry in death, it would be repro­bate of me to use the death of some­one to Score polit­i­cal points. However, I believe it is per­fect­ly prop­er to use some­one’s death to Underscore a crit­i­cal failure.

For rea­sons above my pay-grade, Jamaicans have elect­ed to give the People’s National Party the Lion’s share of han­dling their affairs since 1962 when the Nation gained independence.

Over the last 40 years the Jamaica Labor Party has held office only 12 years of those four decades. The PNP has most­ly formed the Government, With one con­tin­u­ous stretch of ¹⁸¹⁄₂ years.

Starting with Michael Manley’s pseu­do Democratic Socialism in 1972 Jamaica, has been bat­tered and bruised by every met­ric, with only a dozen years of respite in between the tumul­tuous bouts of People’s National Party incom­pe­tence and graft.

PNP lead­er­ship has brought the once pearl of the Caribbean total and com­pre­hen­sive ruina­tion . Starting 1972’s to present. Massive brain-drain. Capital flight. Runaway infla­tion A dec­i­mat­ed busi­ness sec­tor. Poverty untold. Worthless cur­ren­cy. Astronomically high crime rate. Broken down and or nonex­is­tent infra­struc­ture. Moral decay. Sell-off, of our National trea­sures. Decadence. Immorality and a total over­all decay. Some Jamaicans still trum­pet our Nation’s supe­ri­or­i­ty in the Caribbean, I do not share in that fantasy.

Roger Clarke spent most of his adult life in pol­i­tics as part of the PNP. Clarke recent­ly passed away of an appar­ent heart attack, suf­fered at a Florida Airport. Clarke, 74, had been at the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida since mid-July where he had under­gone surgery for a back prob­lem and was return­ing to Jamaica when he died at the airport.

Roger Clarke was a Minister of Government . A mem­ber of the Governing People’s National Party, which has dom­i­nat­ed the Political land­scape over the last 4 decades. Yet when Clarke need­ed back surgery for what is char­ac­ter­ized as a pinched nerve, he head­ed to Florida.

If this does not awak­en the sen­si­tiv­i­ties of Jamaicans, what will ? If an esteemed mem­ber of the Political Oligarchy can­not source elec­tive surgery in his own coun­try, what does it say about the lead­er­ship of his par­ty? We pray for the fam­i­ly of Roger Clarke at this time of bereave­ment. We are all Jamaicans, we should find no solace in the demise of oth­ers. Death is in the cards for all of us. In the end we are nei­ther PNP nor JLP we are people.

Let’s hope Jamaicans will see this as a rea­son to demand a greater degree of account­abil­i­ty from those whom they entrust to admin­is­ter to their affairs. We can­not con­tin­ue to low­er the bar to accom­mo­date and ratio­nal­ize away the sys­tem­at­ic and con­tin­ued fail­ures and incom­pe­tence of our lead­ers. It is all up to us to decide the lead­er­ship we get.

The Police Service Commission select­ed Dr Carl Williams the Nations’s new Police Commissioner. We wish the new Commissioner much suc­cess. Having exit­ed the JCF after only a few years ser­vice I have nev­er met the new chief. I under­stand Williams joined the Department in 1984 , I joined two years pri­or, though we served togeth­er I nev­er met him. The 50 year old Williams hav­ing spent 30 years in the Department was appro­pri­ate­ly reward­ed with the top spot.

Amid the noise sur­round­ing the selec­tion process, many argued that the Commission should look over­seas for a new com­mis­sion­er. I voiced my dis­ap­proval then. I believe the Commission act­ed in good faith in select­ing Carl Williams the tiny nation’s 28 police com­mis­sion­er. It would have been a trav­es­ty to pick some­one from over­seas while the depart­ment have these supreme­ly edu­cat­ed and com­pe­tent lead­ers to move the depart­ment forward.

Williams holds a PhD in crim­i­nal jus­tice. He is the found­ing direc­tor of the (Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency) and is the brain respon­si­ble for devel­op­ing the Anti-Lottery Scam Task Force. He led Jamaica’s anti-nar­cotics cam­paign from 2000 to 2004 which saw major play­ers con­vict­ed and some even extra­dit­ed for their crimes.

The new Commissioner comes to the top spot at a time when the Police con­tin­ue to be a con­tentious issue. Despite the cre­ation and imple­men­ta­tion of the new Agency (INDECOM the image of the agency con­tin­ue to evoke neg­a­tive reviews.

The chal­lenge for Williams is how to man­age those con­cerns in an ever chang­ing envi­ron­ment with­out alien­at­ing the men and women under his com­mand. He must find a way to man­age crime as a busi­ness, giv­ing cit­i­zens what they pay for, while keep­ing the peo­ple under his com­mand moti­vat­ed. No easy task in a coun­try which does not hon­or the rule of law.

For years the Elitist men­tal­i­ty in the Island Nation was that the police were inef­fec­tive because top down they were unin­tel­li­gent morons. Owen Ellington was edu­cat­ed , Carl Williams is superbly edu­cat­ed. The depart­ment has more mem­bers with under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate degrees per capi­ta, than most depart­ments around the world. Lets now get to the task of seri­ous­ly erad­i­cat­ing crime.

A cou­ple years ago I wrote an Article on the issue of Domestic Violence. I sought to bring a lev­el-head­ed dis­pas­sion­ate un-emo­tion­al per­spec­tive to the debate. I found through my own expe­ri­ences that many who debate the issue use it to advance their own Agendas.

Whether it be Feminists, Psychologists, or band-wag­gonists seek­ing to make a name on the back of wom­en’s issues I am con­vinced the issue is not as black and white as many of the most intem­per­ate hyp­ocrites would have you believe.

To be clear men are gen­er­al­ly stronger than women.We should always seek to pro­tect our women. As a Christian I am charged to love and cher­ish my wife as the weak­er sex , she is wor­thy and deserv­ing of my love and pro­tec­tion. This pro­tec­tion should spread as the rip­ples in a Brook to oth­er women, hence the pro­tec­tion of all women is guaranteed.

Absent from this debate is the fac­tu­al rea­son­ing that Society has been on a fast track toward elim­i­nat­ing what we were told about women. Girls are now told that they can do any­thing men do, they can have any job men have, they can lift as much weight as men do. As Society seeks to tough­en women, it con­verse­ly does the oppo­site, fem­i­niz­ing men. Men are now stay­ing home out of choice, while their wives go out to work. It is some­times dif­fi­cult to tell the dif­fer­ence between some men from women today. There was always going to be some women who are stronger and bet­ter than some men at cer­tain tasks. Conversely there were always going to be some men who are more girly than the aver­age woman..

The September 20 1973 Tennis débâ­cle between 55-year-old Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King saw King Decimate Riggs: 6 – 4, 6 – 3, 6 – 3. This in no small way, advanced the notion that there was no dif­fer­ence between the sex­es. Additionally dis­parate laws in favor of women in Industrialized Nations like the United States has lit­er­al­ly caused some women to believe they can start fights with men and men are not sup­posed to react.

Throughout my expe­ri­ence as a law enforce­ment offi­cer, when I had to deal with domes­tic vio­lence it was gen­er­al­ly the woman who start­ed hit­ting on her spouse. Society does not want to acknowl­edge this, because it does not advance the fem­i­nist agen­da. So we turn a blind eye when a woman hits on or oth­er­wise abuse a man, we make jokes about him get­ting beat­en, yet as soon as the man reacts he is an abu­sive degen­er­ate wor­thy of being locked away for­ev­er. Women sim­ply can­not have it both ways, if you do not want men to hit you , do not hit men.

Recently Beyonce’s sis­ter Solange was seen flail­ing away at her broth­er-in-law Sean (JZ) Carter in an ele­va­tor. She was even­tu­al­ly restrained by Carter’s secu­ri­ty ‚still kick­ing and flail­ing away. Now grant­ed that Solange’s actions did not rise to the lev­el of Rices dev­as­tat­ing hook which lit­er­al­ly wiped out Janay, where was the out­cry from the fem­i­nist hyp­ocrites now pon­tif­i­cat­ing about the Ray Rice ele­va­tor video. All of them were con­ve­nient­ly silent. If we are going to talk about domes­tic vio­lence we must talk about it in gen­der neu­tral terms. Lorena Bobbitt cut the Penis off her hus­band, she hid behind alle­ga­tions of domes­tic vio­lence and got away with it. The instances of women killing or oth­er­wise muti­lat­ing their spous­es are well doc­u­ment­ed, where is the out­rage. How is it abuse when men does it but com­e­dy when women do it?

At a Press Conference Janay Rice pub­licly stat­ed that she apol­o­gized for the part she played in events that night. Ray Rice apol­o­gized to every­one for his thug­gish behav­ior. The firestorm which emanat­ed from her tak­ing respon­si­bil­i­ty have been vis­cer­al. They ranged from alle­ga­tions that she is scared, to she is just in it for the mon­ey, to ridicu­lous state­ments she was again made a vic­tim because she actu­al­ly took respon­si­bil­i­ty for her part in the events of that night. There are rum­blings that there is addi­tion­al video footage which shows Mrs. Rice attack­ing her spouse and even­tu­al­ly spit­ting in his face. No men­tion is made of that, no one wants to acknowl­edge that.

In the end what the Feminist apol­o­gists want you to believe is that Janay Rice is inca­pable of mak­ing deci­sions for her­self. This reduces Janay Rice to noth­ing more than a talk­ing-point for the fem­i­nist agen­da. The Baltimore Ravens have now fired Rice. The NFL which had giv­en Rice a two game sus­pen­sion as well as a pre-tri­al inter­ven­tion pro­gram has now sus­pend­ed the Running back indef­i­nite­ly. The pil­ing-on has how­ev­er just begun, Rutgers University has pulled murals which were installed in Rice’s hon­or. EA Sports the video game mak­er, Nike which make Billions on the backs of some of world’s poor­est peo­ple has since dropped Rice. How is that for per­spec­tive. Additionally, every lit­tle Joe-blow who have a Rice Jersey has now decid­ed to pon­tif­i­cate by burn­ing the Jersey.

Seem we have seen this before, but where? Oh yeah that Guy was accused of being a part of a dog fight­ing ring. Janay Rice has come out swing­ing in defense of her hus­band, and cor­rect­ly so. What Ray Rice did was atro­cious and despi­ca­ble. Oh my God how do you punch the woman you sup­pos­ed­ly love with such bru­tal­i­ty, such reck­less and wan­ton dis­re­gard, how do you hit her period?

Ray Rice has apol­o­gized to his wife, Janay Rice has agreed to for­give her hus­band. Lets hope they fol­low up with chris­t­ian Counselling. This will offer them intro­spec­tion and help in deal­ing with what­ev­er issues exists between them that result­ed in such explo­sive anger. In addi­tion to oth­er state­ments , Janay Rice said quote: “Just know we will con­tin­ue to grow & show the world what real love is!”.I am root­ing for this cou­ple. I hope and pray they can move past their pre­vi­ous issues and seek God, at the end of all of this the NFL, The Ravens Nike, and the crit­ics are unimportant.The Rice’s can use this defin­ing moment to solid­i­fy their love by seek­ing a Godly solu­tion to their prob­lems. Many of Rice’s most vocif­er­ous crit­ics are doing much worse, they just haven’t been caught. Many of Rice’s crit­ics nev­er cared for him nev­er will. They nev­er cared for Janay Rice , nev­er will.

Janay Rice has every right to for­give her hus­band. She is a human being capa­ble of mak­ing her own deci­sions. Jesus chid­ed the peo­ple who were about to stone the woman who com­mit­ted adul­tery. “He who is among you with­out sin you cast the first stone”.Janay Rice has for­giv­en her hus­band. Ray will have a lot of time to think about what he did. He should use that time to work on his anger. Those who are call­ing for his head does­n’t care that God wants us to for­give. They do not care that their kids are bet­ter off if they work through their prob­lems. None of this is impor­tant to the blood-thirsty hordes, Ray and Jana Rice are mere pawns on the chess-board of their rad­i­cal Feminist agenda.

Patrick Dorismond was gunned down in New York City by NYPD under­cov­er cops who approached him and his friend and asked where they could buy drugs. In response to pub­lic out­cry about the killing The City’s Mayor Rudolph Giuliani released the sealed juve­nile record of Patrick Dorismond’s arrest for rob­bery and assault when he was just 13. Rudolph Giuliani stat­ed then “People have the right to know the back­ground and record of a per­son involved in a crim­i­nal sit­u­a­tion,” he said, adding dark­ly, “He’s no altar boy.”

Giuliani did not men­tion that the charges against Dorismond was noth­ing more than a fight between two lit­tle boys over a quar­ter and that the case nev­er even made it to a Judge. In fact Dorismond had no crim­i­nal record. Regarding the no altar boy com­ment, the Napoleonic Giuliani was so eager to sul­ly the name of the dead Patrick Dorismond he did not both­er to engage his brain before he put his mouth in gear. Patrick Dorismond was indeed an altar boy at the Holy Cross Church in Brooklyn. Dorismond’s moth­er had actu­al­ly named her son after her favorite Priest. The hypocrisy of Giuliani was astound­ing, when his 20 year old daugh­ter was arrest­ed for shoplift­ing he stated,“It’s a pri­vate mat­ter and it will stay that way”.

Michael Brown, 18, due to be buried on Monday, was no angel, with pub­lic records and inter­views with friends and fam­i­ly reveal­ing both prob­lems and promise in his young life. Shortly before his encounter with Officer Wilson, the police say he was caught on a secu­ri­ty cam­era steal­ing a box of cig­ars, push­ing the clerk of a con­ve­nience store into a dis­play case. He lived in a com­mu­ni­ty that had rough patch­es, and he dab­bled in drugs and alco­hol. He had tak­en to rap­ping in recent months, pro­duc­ing lyrics that were by turns con­tem­pla­tive and vul­gar. He got into at least one scuf­fle with a neigh­bor. Times writer John Eligon.

There is a men­tal­i­ty sur­round­ing black life in America that makes any infrac­tion with Police wor­thy of death. I was stunned when I learned some­time ago that peo­ple who are placed on parole are cau­tioned not to come in con­tact with law enforce­ment. In fact com­ing in con­tact with law enforce­ment is grounds for being sent back to prison. Wonder what police do to peo­ple they do not like, do they will­ful­ly come in con­tact with parolees? You bet they do. As we look at events unfold we are remind­ed as to why many men of col­or can­not dis­en­tan­gle them­selves from the web which is the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem. It is no won­der reac­tionary forces use crim­i­nal record to legit­i­ma­tize police unlaw­ful­ly killing black men.

The black com­mu­ni­ty has to nation­al­ize this issue. Ferguson is just one area, as peo­ple march and demand jus­tice in Ferguson, Police con­tin­ue to mur­der black men in St Louis County, In New York City, In California, In Ohio, and in cities and com­mu­ni­ties all across America. The black com­mu­ni­ty sim­ply can­not use the old meth­ods of putting out fires of racial injus­tice as they occur. What is need­ed is a flood of action which will sweep across this coun­try effec­tive­ly dous­ing all embers once and for all.

Finally the UN has mus­tered the courage to chal­lenge the United States of America to halt the police abuse and killing of African-American people.

The American Press has done a ter­ri­ble job of high­light­ing what is an epi­dem­ic of abuse, and mur­der of African-Americans by police all across the Country. For decades blacks have com­plained of inequities in the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem. Today it is just as bad with stud­ies show­ing that even in grade schools African-American chil­dren are much more like­ly to be dis­ci­plined, sus­pend­ed and expelled from school. This con­tin­ues through­out the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem. Police tar­get, pro­file, and sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly abuse and kill blacks as a mat­ter of course. For the most part, whites remain silent, and in many cas­es are sup­port­ive of the bru­tal­i­ty met­ed out to their black and brown neigh­bors. Many peo­ple of col­or argue it is much more dif­fi­cult to deal with the police than the Klux Klux Klan, how do you fight back against the law they bemoan?

The courts are not much bet­ter, in many cas­es Judges mete out longer sen­tences to black offend­ers than they do for white offend­ers for sim­i­lar offences. Even at the high­est lev­el, the Supreme Court, there is sys­tem­at­ic and insti­tu­tion­al­ized Racism. Just recent­ly that body stripped away key sec­tions of the vot­ing rights act, which pro­tect­ed the rights of minori­ties to vote.

It is not get­ting bet­ter, in fact it has arguably got­ten much worse since President Obama was elect­ed to office in 2008. It appears to be a white-lash[sic] against African-Americans being exe­cut­ed by the police. This page has con­sis­tent­ly called for Human Rights Agencies to stop play­ing favorites by ignor­ing the atroc­i­ties being car­ried out by police in the United States. We have demand­ed that these Agencies risk irrel­e­vance if the con­tin­ue to ignore what is hap­pen­ing in America while they trum­pet abuse in small­er less pow­er­ful nations.

American offi­cials will seek to min­i­mize and dis­cred­it the UN con­dem­na­tion, par­tic­u­lar­ly the reac­tionar­ies on the Political Right. They will do so as they did while they beat the drums of war against Iraq. This spot­light from the UN may not mean any­thing to many white Americans, but to the rest of the world it means a hell of a lot.

Where are the Human Rights Agencies in America? http://chatt-a-box.com/​human-rights-agen­cies-amer­i­ca/​

There is a seri­ous and ever increas­ing threat to cit­i­zens rights as a result of Police aggres­sive­ness and dis­re­spect of the very cit­i­zen­ry they sup­pos­ed­ly serve. It is shock­ing that after serv­ing 10 years myself as a Police Officer I am now loathe to encour­age a young per­son to serve as a law enforce­ment officer.

Law Enforcement is no longer pub­lic safe­ty, it is now Government con­tain­ment of the mass­es through bru­tal and mur­der­ous police depart­ments. We are unable to divest our­selves of the Police as an enti­ty, after all the police are nec­es­sary in a civ­i­lized soci­ety. there is a huge prob­lem when the police can­not be trust­ed to act with civil­ity and are seen as an equal offend­er to peace and good order.

As the father of black sons, my great­est fear when my sons get in their cars to enter the streets, is not for reg­u­lar crim­i­nals but for some of the crim­i­nals now wear­ing badges and parad­ing as police offi­cers. There is a grow­ing trend by police in the United States to charge peo­ple they do not like with resist­ing arrest. Unwitting law mak­ers attach seri­ous penal­ties to the charge to encour­age cit­i­zens to sub­mit peace­ably to being arrested.

What police have done is use it to send cit­i­zens to prison unjust­ly, as well as to jus­tify using exces­sive force on those they want to admin­is­ter a beat­ing to. In New City alone the New York city Police Department filed over 55,000 resist­ing arrest charges against New Yorkers over a 10 year peri­od. Even though the first charge was for a minor offense. Thankfully some Judges are not blind­ed by police sup­port, most of these cas­es have been tossed out along with the under­ly­ing charge.

GENEVA, Aug 29 (Reuters) — The U.N. racism watch­dog urged the United States on Friday to halt the exces­sive use of force by police after the fatal shoot­ing of an unarmed black teenag­er by a white police­man touched off riots in Ferguson, Missouri.

Minorities, par­tic­u­lar­ly African Americans, are vic­tims of dis­par­i­ties, the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) said after exam­in­ing the U.S. record.

“Racial and eth­nic dis­crim­i­na­tion remains a seri­ous and per­sis­tent prob­lem in all areas of life from de fac­to school seg­re­ga­tion, access to health care and hous­ing,” Noureddine Amir, CERD com­mit­tee vice chair­man, told a news briefing.

Teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police offi­cer on Aug. 9, trig­ger­ing vio­lent protests that rocked Ferguson — a St. Louis sub­urb — and shone a glob­al spot­light on the state of race rela­tions in America.

“The exces­sive use of force by law enforce­ment offi­cials against racial and eth­nic minori­ties is an ongo­ing issue of con­cern and par­tic­u­lar­ly in light of the shoot­ing of Michael Brown,” said Amir, an expert from Algeria.

“This is not an iso­lat­ed event and illus­trates a big­ger prob­lem in the United States, such as racial bias among law enforce­ment offi­cials, the lack of prop­er imple­men­ta­tion of rules and reg­u­la­tions gov­ern­ing the use of force, and the inad­e­qua­cy of train­ing of law enforce­ment officials.”

The pan­el of 18 inde­pen­dent experts grilled a senior U.S. del­e­ga­tion on Aug. 13 about what they said was per­sis­tent racial dis­crim­i­na­tion against African-Americans and oth­er minori­ties, includ­ing with­in the crim­i­nal jus­tice system.

U.S. Ambassador Keith Harper told the pan­el that his nation had made “great strides toward elim­i­nat­ing racial dis­crim­i­na­tion” but con­ced­ed that “we have much left to do”.

Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Brown, has been put on paid leave and is in hid­ing. A St. Louis County grand jury has begun hear­ing evi­dence and the U.S. Justice Department has opened its own investigation.

Police have said Brown strug­gled with Wilson when shot. But some wit­ness­es say Brown held up his hands and was sur­ren­der­ing when he was shot mul­ti­ple times in the head and chest.

“STAND YOUR GROUND” LAWS

In its con­clu­sions issued on Friday, the U.N. pan­el said “Stand Your Ground” Laws, a con­tro­ver­sial self-defense statute in 22 U.S. states, should be reviewed to “remove far-reach­ing immu­ni­ty and ensure strict adher­ence to prin­ci­ples of neces­si­ty and pro­por­tion­al­i­ty when dead­ly force is used for self-defense”.

Ron Davis, father of Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old shot dead in a car in Jacksonville, Florida dur­ing an argu­ment over loud rap music in November 2012, attend­ed the Geneva ses­sion. Sybrina Fulton, moth­er of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen killed in Miami, Florida by a neigh­bor­hood watch vol­un­teer, testified.

The U.N. pan­el mon­i­tors com­pli­ance with a treaty rat­i­fied by 177 coun­tries includ­ing the United States.

“The Committee remains con­cerned at the prac­tice of racial pro­fil­ing of racial or eth­nic minori­ties by law enforce­ment offi­cials, includ­ing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Transportation Security Administration, bor­der enforce­ment offi­cials and local police,” it said, urg­ing investigations.

The experts called for address­ing obsta­cles faced by minori­ties and indige­nous peo­ples to exer­cise their right to vote effec­tive­ly. This was due to restric­tive vot­er iden­ti­fi­ca­tion laws, dis­trict ger­ry­man­der­ing and state-lev­el laws that dis­en­fran­chise peo­ple con­vict­ed of felonies, it said.

Jamil Dakwar of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the U.N. rec­om­men­da­tions high­light­ed “short­com­ings on racial equal­i­ty that we are see­ing play out today on our streets, at our bor­ders and in the vot­ing booth.

“When it comes to human rights, the United States must prac­tice at home what it preach­es abroad,” he said.

I had an incred­i­bly poignant con­ver­sa­tion with a young friend yes­ter­day. Our con­ver­sa­tion was cen­tered around the ongo­ing imbroglio sur­round­ing the Police killing of 18 year old Ferguson Missouri Resident Michael Brown. My friend was adamant that there is not enough out­cry when blacks kill blacks. He feels fun­da­men­tal­ly that the black com­mu­ni­ty has a high­er expec­ta­tion of police than we have of our­selves. So we had an inter­est­ing­ly cor­dial exchange. I agree with my long­time friend that this can­not be it. We sim­ply can­not be upset at police while giv­ing our own killers in our com­mu­ni­ty a pass.

However ‚Black on Black crimes are pun­ished by the sys­tem, as long as law enforce­ment find evi­dence these per­pe­tra­tors are brought to jus­tice. America’s Prisons are filled with over 2 mil­lion peo­ple. The vast major­i­ty of the incar­cer­at­ed are African-Americans. The issue for the black com­mu­ni­ty is that when­ev­er there are alleged police excess­es the com­mu­ni­ty has to take to the streets just to get an inves­ti­ga­tion start­ed . There must be equal pro­tec­tion under the law. We can­not have the same expec­ta­tion of Police that we have of Gangs. Police Officers are sworn to pro­tect and serve.That is why they are held to a high­er stan­dard of con­duct and account­abil­i­ty than crim­i­nal Gangs. The way some cops have been act­ing there seem to be lit­tle dis­tinc­tion between the two . Law abid­ing cit­i­zens have an absolute right and expec­ta­tion that the police will not abuse or kill them.

Unfortunately for the African-American com­mu­ni­ty, after the protests we go back to the way we were. We go back to accept­ing dis­re­spect from Police. The issue of Police abuse is now a seri­ous epi­dem­ic across America. It will not change , because white Americans do not see police in the same way Blacks do. Many in the black com­mu­ni­ty believe if there are more black cops the com­mu­ni­ty’s rela­tion­ship with police will be enhanced. I dis­agree, it’s a band-aid approach which will only fix the optics. How many times have we seen black cops abus­ing black peo­ple , or not doing any­thing about their white col­leagues who com­mit abuse in their pres­ence?

The issue for the black com­mu­ni­ty is one of respect. Police do not respect the com­mu­ni­ty, the com­mu­ni­ty do not trust the police. Crime is high­er in black com­mu­ni­ties because of the enmi­ty which exist between the two groups.I have had police offi­cers tell me they are encour­aged not to have a friend­ly rela­tion­ship with the com­mu­ni­ty they serve. In many cas­es these are top down deci­sions which have dire con­se­quences for minor­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties and offi­cers alike. When the com­mu­ni­ty is opposed to offi­cers it places offi­cers lives at risk. It puts res­i­dents lives at risk.

The atti­tudes of Police brass and unions will have to change if there is to be an improve­ment in the way police are viewed. A tox­ic rela­tion­ship between police and cit­i­zens serves no one.

Anyone liv­ing in or around New York City dur­ing the tenure of Rudolph Giuliani will recall the hor­rif­ic inci­dents of cal­lous­ness car­ried out on black and brown cit­i­zens by NYPD cops, attrib­ut­able large­ly to the rhetoric com­ing from Giuliani who clear­ly had a deep seat­ed dis­dain for peo­ple of col­or. ‚Patrick Dorismond, Amadou Diallo , Anthony Baez, Abner Louima,.

The list of those killed and abused is long and var­ied. Unfortunately this did not end when Giuliani left office, the killing of young African American men con­tin­ued under Bloomberg, and into the present Administration.

Perhaps the most pow­er­ful advo­cate for a pro­fes­sion­al police force was Sir Robert Peel, a Minister of Parliament who served as Home Secretary for the United Kingdom in the 1820’s. In 1829, Peel estab­lished the Metropolitan Police Services in London. With the found­ing of London’s police force, Peel became wide­ly regard­ed by crim­i­nol­o­gists and his­to­ri­ans alike as the father of mod­ern polic­ing. British police offi­cers are still known affec­tion­ate­ly as “Bobbies” in hon­or of his first name, Robert.

Public Opposition

The con­cept of a cen­tral­ized, pro­fes­sion­al police force was a tough sell ini­tial­ly, and was met with a tremen­dous amount of resis­tance. There was a fear that a police force would essen­tial­ly behave as anoth­er arm of the mil­i­tary. As result, there was an under­stand­able reluc­tance to agree to be con­trolled by what many assumed would be an occu­py­ing force. In order to over­come this oppo­si­tion, Peel is known for lay­ing the frame­work for what a police force should be com­prised of how a good police offi­cershould con­duct him­self. While there is debate as to whether he ever clear­ly enu­mer­at­ed his ideas in any sort of list for­mat, it is gen­er­al­ly agreed that he cre­at­ed what are to this day con­sid­ered to be the pri­ma­ry prin­ci­ples of policing.

• The pur­pose of the police force is to pre­vent crime and main­tain order.
• Police depend on the approval and trust of the pub­lic in order to effec­tive­ly do their jobs.
• The ulti­mate goal of polic­ing is to achieve vol­un­tary com­pli­ance with the law in the community.
• Police must be unwa­ver­ing in their duties and adher­ence to the law, main­tain­ing impar­tial­i­ty and avoid­ing the temp­ta­tion to be swayed by pub­lic opinion.
• The use of force and phys­i­cal con­trol is to be used as a last resort, only when oth­er forms of per­sua­sion have failed.
• Police offi­cers must remem­ber that they, too, are mem­bers of the pub­lic and that their pur­pose is to serve and pro­tect the public.
• The true mea­sure of the effec­tive­ness of any police force is not the num­ber of arrests or police actions tak­en, but the absence of crim­i­nal con­duct and vio­la­tions of the law.

I wish to pub­lish this for the ben­e­fit of cops today. These are the prin­ci­ples by which police offi­cers must be guid­ed. Consent of the cit­i­zens not cit­i­zen dom­i­na­tion. Unless of course American police offi­cers still do not see African Americans as citizens.

Mid-term Elections sched­uled for November is like­ly to see Republican gains in the House and Senate. Yup , I know it is incred­i­ble to fig­ure out . For those of you who have an inter­est in what hap­pens in and to your lives as far as Politics goes, it is almost incom­pre­hen­si­ble. One of the hot but­ton issues on the table is Immigration Reform. Republicans have done noth­ing to work with the Administration to fix the bro­ken sys­tem. Despite Record depor­ta­tions, President Obama still have no Partner in Republicans. For years Republicans demand­ed that secur­ing the Borders must first be addressed. The President has done that. The Southern Border of the United States now looks like the Former East , West Berlin Border, replete with vehic­u­lar checks and all. In addi­tion the Administration has deport­ed over 1.5 mil­lion peo­ple in 6 years . More than any oth­er Administration. Still Republicans have refused to act, claim­ing that act­ing on Immigration Reform is Amnesty. There is much to be said about their hypocrisy , con­sid­er­ing this is a nation of immi­grants. What’s more the hero of their phi­los­o­phy Ronald Reagan, under­stood the need to reg­u­lar­ize the sta­tus of undoc­u­ment­ed peo­ple and grant­ed Amnesty to peo­ple liv­ing in the shad­ows dur­ing his presidency.

If there is a swing in these upcom­ing elec­tions it should be to boot these intran­si­gent racist Republican bums from office. If cur­rent pre­dic­tions are true that Republicans will gain seats and like­ly take the Senate, it means vot­ers would have reward­ed them for bad behav­ior. Sabotaging the econ­o­my through lock-downs. Not act­ing on Immigration. Not pass­ing a jobs Bill which would put hun­dreds of thou­sands of work­ers back to work. Republicans argue Amnesty reward peo­ple who break American laws by com­ing to the coun­try ille­gal­ly. Why should they be reward­ed for sab­o­tag­ing the country?

SPREADING HATE

There is a decid­ed strat­e­gy by Fox and Rupert Murdoch , to hire the most out­landish racist in an effort to pro­mote, and pro­mul­gate race bait­ing and race hate. In addi­tion to the raft of far right guests they fea­ture dai­ly all toward spread­ing hate. There are these two.

Bill O’ Reilly,and Sean Hannity, irre­spec­tive of the host, the bar­rage of mis­in­for­ma­tion and hatred is the same. The idea is to stir up hate in America. It is a tac­ti­cal deci­sion, they cal­cu­late, which will bring a loy­al and ded­i­cat­ed fol­low­ing to the net­work. It is based on the fun­da­men­tal under­stand­ing that to a large extent more than half of white Americans are out­right, or at best, har­bor clos­et­ed racial bias. It has worked thus far . The FOX radio net­work is also busy spread­ing the hate among the least edu­cat­ed most igno­rant of the white pop­u­la­tion. This is par­tic­u­lar­ly effec­tive among those who blame every­one but them­selves for their inabil­i­ty to crawl out of pover­ty despite white priv­i­leged. These are they who are still mired in pover­ty despite the mas­sive expan­sion of the American econ­o­my in the 1990’s dur­ing the Clinton Years. The ascen­dan­cy of Barack Obama to the pin­na­cle of white pow­er and minori­ties becom­ing a major­i­ty has dri­ven them nuts. It is a poi­soned well and it’s only going to get worse.

It is not unusu­al to see many of these peo­ple rail­ing against Government intru­sion in their lives , while many are lit­er­al­ly liv­ing off Government largess. Incredibly many of these peo­ple were rather upset at Obama when he sug­gest­ed rais­ing the tax rates on Americans mak­ing in excess of two hun­dred and fifty thou­sand dol­lars annu­al­ly. What makes it inter­est­ing is that among this crowd are lit­er­al­ly no top wage earners.

FOK has found fer­tile soil in this Xenophobic crowd who believe their prob­lems what­ev­er they are, are attrib­ut­able to immigrants.

Elections are sched­uled for November. In these upcom­ing elec­tions ‚Governorships Senate, House and oth­er posi­tions will be up for grabs. Coming out of what many see as an esca­la­tion of Police killings of African-Americans is the less than nov­el call for vot­er reg­is­tra­tion. African Americans went out in num­bers to twice elect Barack Obama to the Presidency, Obama was too busy play­ing Golf to both­er going to Ferguson Missouri. Obama went to Sandy hook to com­fort griev­ing fam­i­lies, why not Ferguson, whats dif­fer­ent?

Republicans hate blacks for the col­or of their skin, But they also hate blacks for con­sis­tent­ly vot­ing Democratic. Blacks are being told to go out and vote, but who should they vote for? Democrats and the Democratic Party Party, has con­ve­nient­ly remained silent.

But for Claire Mc Caskil the US Senator from Missouri, where are the voic­es of Democratic Leaders who always come, hat in hand beg­ging for votes ? What has Democrats done for it“s most loy­al block of vot­ers? Time and again the Democratic Party has tak­en the black vote for grant­ed. Bill Clinton did it, when he threw Sister Soulja under the bus to show Southern and so called con­ser­v­a­tive whites he can han­dle the-blacks. He also did when he sided with Newt Gingrich who impeached him when he signed wel­fare reform into law. That back­fired when they dis­cov­ered the largest per capi­ta block of wel­fare recip­i­ents were mid­dle age white women. Obama did it by not show­ing up in Ferguson Missouri. Eric Holder is not Barack Obama. Black People over­whelm­ing­ly vot­ed to elect and reelect Obama, he had a duty to show up and show sol­i­dar­i­ty with black peo­ple. What were they gonna do about it, he does­n’t face vot­ers ever again. He did not show balls, he showed cowardice.

Missouri’s Governor Jay Nixon is a Democrat with whom the black com­mu­ni­ty has no rela­tion­ship. Residents of Ferguson want Nixon to replace Bob McCullough the County Prosecutor. They make it clear they do not trust McCullough to do the right thing for them because of his rela­tion­ship with Police. Nixon out­right refused to acced­ed to the vot­ers demands to remove McCullough. That out­right refusal is a clear indi­ca­tion Nixon has no regard for African American vot­ers in Ferguson nor the broad­er Missouri.

Other than some Black Democrats there has large­ly been a deaf­en­ing blan­ket silence from white Democrats. How can a blacks con­tin­ue to vote for a par­ty which per­pet­u­al­ly dis­re­spects and dis­cards them, then embrace them when it is con­ve­nient to do so ?

Hillary Clinton is going around the Country sign­ing books , any­one who believes this is just a book tour is seri­ous­ly unin­formed. When Reporters shout­ed out ques­tions to Hillary Clinton, try­ing to get her take on the Ferguson inci­dent, she hus­tled away with­out answer­ing their questions.

Hillary Clinton will be run­ning for President in 2016, she is lay­ing the ground­work for that run , she does not want to be President because of any deep call­ing. She will be doing so out of raw ambi­tion. When the time comes for her to run she will cozy up to blacks who will be elat­ed to rec­i­p­ro­cate her con­di­tion­al affec­tion, as an abused Dog cozies up to an abu­sive master.

Democrats have tak­en the tac­ti­cal deci­sion that Blacks have nowhere to go. Clinton and oth­ers feel no oblig­a­tion to take a stand which may have neg­a­tive push-back from white Democrats who see the police as their protectors.

SO WHERE DOES IT LEAVE BLACK VOTERS ?

Black vot­ers Can do either of two things in my estimation.

♦ Vote Republican, .….….. I know, wait, wait , wait, I know they hate blacks, but maybe blacks will have to take a step toward that par­ty. This could poten­tial­ly have the effect of a change in atti­tude toward the com­mu­ni­ty. What I am advo­cat­ing is that Blacks hold their noses and vote Republican, as a means of ensur­ing Democrats do not take them for granted.

♦ Vote nei­ther Republican nor Democrat, form anoth­er Party. The T‑Party claim they are not Republicans, yet they have

Republicans lick­ing their boots. In fact Republicans who sur­vived the Rights’ ide­o­log­i­cal purge, jump at every oppor­tu­ni­ty to be in the good graces of the T‑party. What is pre­vent­ing African Americans from form­ing anoth­er Party There are more than enough black elect­ed lead­ers in the Congress with the know-how. This is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to show some back­bone. There are well over 40 mil­lion black peo­ple in the United States, if this new par­ty reach out to oth­ers it could be a force to be reck­oned with.

I wrote pre­vi­ous­ly that this should be a defin­ing moment for African-Americans, beyond the march­ing , the singing we shall over­come, the groan­ing , the cry­ing and the loot­ing, there are expo­nen­tial­ly much more we can do to change our lot.

There is no use look­ing to Obama or any­one else, this requires a col­lec­tive effort on the part of every­one. Obama is look­ing out for his lega­cy it’s up to blacks to look out for their future.

No words.

Michael Brown Sr.

Grief of unimag­in­able proportion .

A father’s grief at the prospect of bury­ing his son.

In the weeks approach­ing stu­dents all across America will walk out of class­es with hands up. They will be stand­ing against police tyran­ny, made pos­si­ble by the priv­i­leged minority.

The American con­sti­tu­tion guar­an­tees cit­i­zens the right to free speech , free asso­ci­a­tion and the right not to be ter­ror­ized by their own Government.

We salute our young peo­ple who have decide to stand with right , over what’s white. When we secure the dig­ni­ty and rights of oth­ers , we secure our own future.

Those who keep oth­ers incar­cer­at­ed are them­selves incar­cer­at­ed. We can­not live in a world where some are allowed to enjoy their God-giv­en rights to be free cit­i­zens, while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly and sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly tram­pling on that of others.

Sybrina Fulton, the moth­er of Trayvon Martin, and Valerie Bell, the moth­er of Sean Bell, Arrived in St Louis Missouri on Sunday August 24^th, they were there to lend sup­port to the par­ents of Michael Brown.. Irrespective of where you live , if you are tuned into events there is no ques­tion of who these women are.

Fulton and Bell were among a group of fam­i­ly and friends who showed up for a pri­vate view­ing of Brown’s body before his bur­ial on Monday. The list of fathers and moth­ers who have lost their chil­dren to vio­lence is nev­er-end­ing. Those los­ing their chil­dren to police and vig­i­lante killings is get­ting just as long.

On Monday the body of Michael Brown will be laid to rest. Just 18 years old, cut down, gone too soon. Like Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell and count­less name­less, face­less, oth­ers who met a sim­i­lar demise Michael Brown will become anoth­er statistic.

We don’t know if his death will change any­thing. Maybe it will ‚maybe it won’t. As a par­ent of young men, one of whom recent­ly went home to be with the Lord , I can only imag­ine the pain these par­ents feel. Nothing will ever be the same again , their whole out­look on life for­ev­er changed.

We cry with these par­ents, we feel their pain. No par­ent should have to bury their child, cer­tain­ly not this way. As we strug­gle to come to grips with this fam­i­ly’s grief , we are mind­ful of the many issues that sur­round his pass­ing. Race, black respon­si­bil­i­ty, Police vio­lence, Black on black vio­lence, and of course those who sup­port the killing of the Michael Browns of America, sim­ply because of the col­or of their skin. When we talk about young men being killed because of the col­or of their skin we do not deny they may have done some­thing wrong. We make no judge­ment about inno­cence or guilt. What we argue is some­one of a dif­fer­ent hue would not have received the death penal­ty, imposed and exe­cut­ed by those who appoint them­selves judge ‚jury and executioner.

America locked up Jeffery Dammer, con­vict­ed of mass mur­der and can­ni­bal­ism. She locked up Terrorists who kill thou­sands of our peo­ple in cow­ard­ly attacks. We do not need our peo­ple killed for sell­ing un-taxed cig­a­rettes, jay-walk­ing or for being men­tal­ly unsta­ble while hold­ing a knife.

The President said if he had a son he would be like Trayvon Martin. The Attorney General tells of being harassed in a Washington Suburb because he was deemed by police to have the wrong col­or to be in that neigh­bor­hood. At the time he was a Federal Prosecutor. Ben Ward New

York City’s first black Police Commissioner was harassed in Manhattan by men under his com­mand who did not even know their own Commissioner. Henry Lewis Gates Harvard Professor arrest­ed at his own home because of the col­or of his skin.

Some naïve­ly believe cars, homes and jobs insu­lates them from abuse. So they heap scorn and deri­sion on those so abused . Simply because their day has not yet come. We salute these brave women who have trav­eled hun­dreds of miles to show sup­port to the Brown fam­i­ly , to hug and cry with them, be com­fort­ed in the Lord God know­ing that he is the final judge.

Irrespective of our short­com­ings , our fail­ure to come togeth­er, our per­pet­u­al state of pover­ty, no one deserves to die, shot down like an ani­mal and left there for hours in the swel­ter­ing heat. That’s what’s at issue here. To those who talk from their lofty perch­es , look­ing down on these vic­tims , I ask where is your human­i­ty ? Where is the God in you? Do you think you and yours are exempt? You are delu­sion­al. It’s insult­ing to insin­u­ate that respect for laws will keep you safe. It’s arro­gant to assume those who died had no respect for the laws.

Pull up your pants. Don’t run when you see police. Don’t talk back to police. Why? None of these things have kept black men safe. Why should our chil­dren com­port to the fears and inse­cu­ri­ties of school-yard bul­lies whose only self worth is cen­tered in a gun and a badge? Why are they crim­i­nals because of the col­or of their skin? Too many have died who did noth­ing wrong. My chal­lenge to you elit­ists is get up to speed on your his­to­ry, maybe it will offer a lit­tle per­spec­tive. Perspective which hope­ful­ly will bring some mea­sure of humility.

We can talk about black on black crime, we can talk about any issue, just not now. This is about the killing of Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, and Sean Bell, And Amadou Diallo, and Kijiame Powell, and, count­less oth­ers, killed by those who should pro­tect and serve.

The New York Post said it sided with the NYPD in the killing of Eric Garner. It labeled every man woman and child who marched across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge into Staten Island Saturday last, Rabble . In that crowd were Doctors and Lawyers, Teachers, nurs­es, busi­ness pro­fes­sion­als. They did not care about the sta­tion of any­one in that crowd. To them it was a Rabble. That is their per­cep­tion of black life. We can no longer allow them to make deci­sions on our val­ue. We are infe­ri­or no no one.

In Ferguson Missouri white pro­test­ers gath­ered in sup­port of Darren Wilson, they cared noth­ing about the killing of Michael Brown. Their spokes­woman declared, Darren Wilson was jus­ti­fied in what he did. Case closed . Irrespective of the evi­dence or the cir­cum­stances of this killing ‚to them Wilson was jus­ti­fied. It does­n’t mat­ter whether Darren Wilson crossed the line from Cop to Criminal. Michael Brown had no right Darren Wilson was oblig­at­ed to respect. It was­n’t too long ago their law stat­ed blacks had no rights a white per­son had to respect, deja-vu.

On January 1, 1923 a mas­sacre was car­ried out in the small, pre­dom­i­nate­ly black town of Rosewood in Central Florida. The mas­sacre was insti­gat­ed by the rumor that a white woman, was raped by a black man. What did any­one expect from these protesters?

Those white pro­test­ers I don’t mind. Hate is what hate pro­duces . They are what they are. [sic] It was only after the Civil war that Europe’s mur­der­ers, Rapists and oth­er crim­i­nal garbage were no longer dumped here. The sins of the fathers vis­it the third and fourth generations.

What I find con­temptible are the self loathing house ser­vants who still shuck and jive to the tune of their slave mas­ters, will­ing to kill their own to please mas­sa, that’s offensive.

Today Saturday August 23^rd, there are protest Rallies in Ferguson Missouri, and Staten Island New York. African-Americans gath­ered in dis­gust over the con­tin­ued slaugh­ter of black and brown men by police in America.

These protest ral­lies are about the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown of Ferguson Missouri and 43-year-old Eric Garner of Staten Island New York. These Rallies should also be about the killing of 26-year-old Kajieme Powell, who was bru­tal­ly slaugh­tered by St Louis coun­ty police, 23 sec­onds after arriv­ing at the scene where Powell was wan­der­ing around, obvi­ous­ly suf­fer­ing from men­tal issues.

Powell did have a knife but trained offi­cers could have adopt­ed any of a slew of options avail­able to them. They had batons, mace and taz­ers .Powell alleged­ly yelled, “Shoot me, kill me now!”  They opt­ed not to use any of those non-lethal options, choos­ing instead to pump sev­er­al bul­lets into the body of the dis­turbed Powell, killing him sec­onds after they arrived.

This total­ly uncalled for esca­la­tion by the two cops was demon­stra­bly the essence of what goes on in cities and Towns all across America. Those cops placed no val­ue on the lives of Kajieme Powell, as they did not on those of Garner and Brown. They had a cal­lous and bla­tant dis­re­gard for the life of those they killed

Some so-called black lead­ers, includ­ing an elect­ed rep­re­sen­ta­tive bragged that St Louis was not Ferguson, when Powell was killed. Yet he lacked the most basic under­stand­ing of how and when Police can legal­ly use lethal force.

Kajieme Powell was mur­dered. Yes he had a knife. There were oth­er ways to sub­due him with­out tak­ing his life.

Those who defend Eric Garner and Michael Brown must also defend the life of Kajieme Powell, who clear­ly need­ed help not bullets.

The Protest ral­lies for Brown were not the only show in town. Supporters of Ferguson Cop Darren Wilson, also held their own ral­ly, they have raised huge sums of mon­ey in sup­port of what they believe will be a Wilson crim­i­nal defense. These peo­ple have a right to do what they want­ed, it’s their right.

What I find nau­se­at­ing, is that like the Rabid racists who spew their racist bile on FOX and the oth­er bot­tom feed­ers on talk radio, these Wilson sup­port­ers show no recog­ni­tion of the issue being protest­ed , the killing of unarmed black and brown men by police across America.

Their actions are symp­to­matic of a time passed, when black men would be lynched while the crowds cheered on those doing the phys­i­cal lynch­ing. How dif­fer­ent are defend­ers of killer-cops from those who cheered these lynch­ings back in the 60’s , 50’s and beyond?

They stood and cheered while the bod­ies of black peo­ple were muti­lat­ed and burned for no oth­er rea­son than the col­or of their skin. They are doing it today under the guise of sup­port­ing police and a need for jus­tice.

Their idea of jus­tice is every­one else doing what they demand.

“If you are neu­tral in sit­u­a­tions of injus­tice, you have cho­sen the side of the oppres­sor. If an ele­phant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neu­tral, the mouse will not appre­ci­ate your neu­tral­i­ty.” 
― Desmond Tutu

One of the prob­lem with our peo­ple is our propen­si­ty to want to move on . What are we mov­ing on from ? What has changed since the 60s when they stood and cheered while our peo­ple were lynched ? Have you heard any of them ref­er­ence the issue which is front and cen­ter here? No their signs call for peace, what they want is for blacks to shut up and go away. Peace for them is dom­i­na­tion of black and brown peo­ple by white police , the more bru­tal the better.

There are things which blacks will invari­ably have to come to terms with in America. Chief among them is an under­stand­ing that their stand­ing in America will depend on them. You sim­ply can­not depend on the chil­dren and grand­chil­dren of those who killed and bru­tal­ized you to have your inter­est at heart. In poll after poll there is a marked dis­con­nect between how whites view the prob­lems which are crit­i­cal­ly ger­mane to blacks. At best whites are pre­dis­posed to blam­ing blacks for what­ev­er injus­tice is met­ed out to them. At worse they sup­port those who abuse us. When you view the age make­up of those who sup­port Darren Wilson you real­ize white racism is not going away. Blacks will have to make it go so deep under­ground it can­not grow. White Racism will not be sup­pressed if we kill each oth­er. It embold­ens them to cheap­en our lives.

White racism will not be sup­pressed if we con­tin­ue to shirk the oppor­tu­ni­ties avail­able to be edu­cat­ed. They are edu­cat­ing their chil­dren. The President men­tioned the lack of job oppor­tu­ni­ties in many urban cen­ters , its impor­tant to have jobs, how­ev­er hav­ing a job does not insu­late a black man or woman from police abuse. Henry Louis Gates not­ed Harvard Professor was­n’t unemployed.

African Americans con­tin­ue to skirt around the real issues on the rare occa­sions they get the mega­phone. Lights , cam­era, action, they fail to make their own case for respect. They fall into the trap of adopt­ing the buzz terms their oppres­sors design to fit  peo­ple who come in to help them.

George Wallace and Bull O’Connor labeled Dr, King an out­side agi­ta­tor, Fox and oth­ers label peo­ple going into Ferguson to show their sol­i­dar­i­ty with demon­stra­tors out­side agi­ta­tors. Shockingly, some of the black demon­stra­tors have unwit­ting­ly gob­bled up this phys­i­o­log­i­cal term which has only one intent , that of mar­gin­al­iz­ing and weak­en­ing the protest action. Sure there were oppor­tunis­tic crim­i­nals there, they are every­where. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity.

Those who were loot­ing and com­mit­ting oth­er acts of crim­i­nal­i­ty were the respon­si­bil­i­ty of the Ferguson Police and oth­er Agencies brought in to sup­press the Rights of cit­i­zens who were exer­cis­ing their first amend­ment rights . Instead of pro­tect­ing the rights of cit­i­zens to express them­selves freely, those agen­cies resort­ed to gestapo tac­tics, bru­tal­iz­ing and dis­re­spect­ing them.

Despite the dis­gust­ing behav­ior, (words and deeds) of cops on the ground, the rep­re­hen­si­ble Facebook post of oth­ers ‚and the bru­tal­i­ty they admin­is­tered to pro­test­ers and jour­nal­ists alike, there are peo­ple out there sup­port­ing them.

If you are a black per­son who have white friends who are sup­port­ive of these lynch­ings they are not your friends. If you speak out and take action against these mur­der­ing cops and your friends shun you, bid them a hap­py good­bye ‚they were not your friends.

Secure the future of your chil­dren and grand­chil­dren before you wor­ry about what oth­ers think of you.

In these pages we repeat­ed­ly write about the mil­i­ta­riza­tion of police depart­ments all across America. We did not hear any­thing from the main stream media about this grow­ing trend, until this mas­sive buildup of mil­i­tary type power(not police) in Ferguson Missouri. CNN, MSNBC and oth­ers are just now awak­en­ing to the shock­ing impli­ca­tions of this.

This mas­sive mil­i­ta­riza­tion of America’s streets is noth­ing new. After the Boston Marathon Bombing ‚the world saw in shock­ing detail what the Right wing in America was warn­ing about all along.

The Right wing is silent about the takeover of America’s streets by, what for all accounts is mil­i­tary, not police. Apart from the bob­ble-heads on FOX ‚despite it’s pre­dic­tions com­ing to fruition the Right is deaf­en­ing­ly silent.

No sur­prise there, as long as the jack-boot­ed throngs with the sophis­ti­cat­ed mil­i­tary hard­ware are run­ning around killing and keep­ing the Blacks on the Reservation, the racist imbe­ciles on the right are satisfied.

However ‚this is not just about the imbe­ciles on the Right , it is also about the imbe­ciles on the left. What did they think would hap­pen when they gave all of that sur­plus mil­i­tary hard­ware to small town police depart­ments, many of which are staffed with semi-lit­er­ate Klans-men and women? 

The prob­lems which exist between peo­ple of African ances­try and the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem in America are deep and sophis­ti­cat­ed. Cops, Prosecutors, Juries, Judges, in many local­i­ties in America , it’s their world , every­one else lives in it. Justice is what they say it is.

The Ferguson police demon­strat­ed that it did not care what any­one thought about the way it han­dled affairs there, after one of it’s Agents cre­at­ed the sit­u­a­tion which present­ly exist.

Just yes­ter­day anoth­er African-American male was killed only a few miles from where Michael Brown was slaugh­tered and left in the broil­ing heat face down in his own blood for over five hours. Police in St Louis killed the 23 year-old who is report­ed­ly of unsound mind., just days on the heels of the ques­tion­able killing of Michael Brown. they said was act­ing erratically.

Police account:

Cops arrived, the sus­pect turned towards the offi­cers and start­ed to walk towards them clutch­ing his waist­band. He then pulled out a knife … and told the offi­cers, ‘Shoot me now. Kill me now,’ ” Reported Police Chief Sam Dotson. Responding offi­cers told the man, repeat­ed­ly, to stop and drop his knife, Dotson said. He con­tin­ued to approach, com­ing with­in about four feet of one of the offi­cers, Dotson said, adding that both offi­cers then fired their weapons, strik­ing the suspect.

The media quick­ly gob­bled up the PR stunt of Dotson and moved on. One reporter asked whether the cops who pulled the trig­ger were mind­ful of the sit­u­a­tion only a few miles away in Suburban Ferguson.?

Dotson retorted,quote ‚If you’re the fam­i­ly of a police offi­cer and some­body approach­es you with­in three feet with a knife, I think you have the right to defend your­self and pro­tect your­self. So I think it cer­tain­ly is rea­son­able that an offi­cer has an expec­ta­tion to go home at the end of the night,” .

The reporter did not both­er to fol­low up. Clearly it is rea­son­able that cops go home after their shift, in fact I have had many heat­ed con­ver­sa­tions with peo­ple who do not care whether cops go home as long as they do not step out of line. Dotson’s com­ments how­ev­er was an insult to peo­ples intel­li­gence. This sto­ry was swept under the rug because the life of the deceased is not valued.

No one both­ered to ask whether the trig­ger-hap­py cops could sim­ply have tazed the guy and take him to a Hospital. It would occur to me that if some­one is act­ing in an errat­ic man­ner , walk­ing up and down , say­ing shoot me, shoot me, clear­ly some­thing is wrong men­tal­ly. What about your taz­er? What about your pep­per spray? What about your baton? What about your train­ing? Or are you trained to pre­tend to observe the rules then kill?

What goes through the minds of these cops when they decide­ly pull the trig­ger and end some­one’s only life? Is there some­thing going on with police which the pub­lic is bliss­ful­ly unaware of?

Are they train­ing these cops to be mind­less robot­ic killers? I believe they are.

This killing like so many oth­ers will fade away into the next news cycle , in fact it did not even make the loop. The fact is cops should use lethal force as absolute­ly the last resort in defense of their own lives or that of anoth­er. Cops are giv­en taz­ers, pep­per spray, batons , train­ing, and they are giv­en guns. Society can­not con­tin­ue to allow cops to grab for a gun kill some­one and get away with it .

These two cops would not have shot a white male period.

Eric Holder the Nation’s chief law enforce­ment offi­cer is sched­uled to be in Ferguson Missouri today. At Martha’s Vineyard a vaca­tion­ing Barack Obama will receive reports from Holder first-hand, about the real­i­ties on the ground . It bears men­tion­ing that both President Obama and Attorney General Holder are black males. Nothing that Obama or Holder does will change the dis­re­spect­ful behav­ior of police toward the black community .

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. National Action Network. American Civil Liberties Union. National Urban League. Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Rainbow push. The list goes on and on . There are no short­age of Civil Rights Organizations in America .Where are they ? Why are the peo­ple of Ferguson stand­ing alone in the face of thug­gish Police aggression?

Whats hap­pen­ing in Ferguson Missouri is not iso­lat­ed. This is a much small­er part of a larg­er pic­ture of abuse and undue aggres­sion by Police all across America. The killing of Michael Brown is just the lat­est in a life­time of abuse by thug­gish cops in America. The pat­tern of abu­sive behav­ior by police have been going on for decades. There is a part of the soci­ety which turns a blind eye and pre­tend it’s not hap­pen­ing, because it’s not hap­pen­ing to them. In case after case, they kill and abuse black men and even women, then use char­ac­ter assas­si­na­tion essen­tial­ly turn­ing vic­tims into crim­i­nals. Criminalizing the victims.

The lat­est nar­ra­tive com­ing out of Ferguson is that Micheal Brown rushed at the Cop who killed him. Of course they do this using plants who spread mis­in­for­ma­tion and char­ac­ter assas­si­na­tion. We heard the same nar­ra­tive in the Trayvon Martin case. A woman is now report­ed to have told a Radio Station that Micheal Brown strug­gled with the Cop, Darren Wilson for his weapon. She report­ed that Wilson told her this soon after the shoot­ing of Brown. Witnesses to the killing gave a vast­ly dif­fer­ent account of the events.

♦What are the chances Wilson called a female civil­ian friend to detail his account of events a lit­tle while after killing Brown?

♦ Who believes Michael Brown reached into a Police car to get the gun of Darren Wilson, which for all intents and pur­pos­es should have been in his hol­ster, while he sat in the car?

The Media is com­plic­it in the spread of this, they pick­up this mis­in­for­ma­tion and loop it until it is woven into the nar­ra­tive. It is looped until the lie becomes the nar­ra­tive. The Cop ulti­mate­ly walk free until the next killing and we go through the cycle again.

The lat­est attempt to jus­ti­fy killing Micheal Brown fell flat on it’s face in my esti­ma­tion. It shows that the Police is out­right lying to cov­er up what is an ille­gal killing. A cop can­not just kill some­one because he feels like it, par­tic­u­lar­ly if the per­son is unarmed. We do not know what pre­cip­i­tat­ed the killing of Brown. What we do know is that the atti­tudes of Police when they deal with peo­ple of col­or is dif­fer­ent than the way they deal with whites.

CNN this morn­ing looked at the cop who gunned down Michael Brown, one of the ques­tions asked of the cops friends was “whether he had ever expressed racial ani­mus toward peo­ple of color”.Sure his white friends are going to tell you how racists he is. (sic.

The truth is that this cop Darren Wilson may not be a racist cop. He may be a great guy. He may even have black friends. Yet the his­tor­i­cal per­cep­tions of blacks in America by white author­i­ty may have influ­enced his deci­sions to use lethal force where non was war­rant­ed. That in and of itself shows just how deeply ingrained racial dif­fer­ences are ingrained in this country.

Rabid detrac­tors who sup­port what­ev­er wrong Police do ‚will have you believe peo­ple of col­or do not want law enforce­ment to do it’s job. That is baloney . What peo­ple want is equi­table and fair enforce­ment of laws and equal dis­pen­sa­tion of jus­tice across all racial lines. From grade school through adult­hood, black Americans are dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly penal­ized by the sys­tem. that bears men­tion­ing, that needs fixing.

What com­pounds the issue of police abuse is the inabil­i­ty of blacks to rec­og­nize how eas­i­ly the pow­er struc­ture divides and con­quer them by using buzz terms. The buzz term being used to dele­git­imize the excess of police is “out­side agi­ta­tors”. The so-called black lead­er­ship has total­ly fall­en for it . The pow­er struc­ture does not want peo­ple from across the coun­try com­ing togeth­er in push­ing back against Police thug­gery. I becomes imper­a­tive then that they demo­nize any­one who enters Ferguson in sup­port of the strug­gle. They are labeled out­side agitators.

Journalist are not immune from abuse, sev­er­al have been arrest­ed for mere­ly doing their job. Clearly the prob­lems of the 60’s, at least as far as police are con­cerned, are far from over.

When Martin Luther King went to Memphis Tennessee in sup­port of strik­ing san­i­ta­tion work­ers he was labeled an outside

agi­ta­tor. When the free­dom rid­ers entered the South in a show of defi­ance against seg­re­ga­tion they were labeled out­side agi­ta­tors. This term “out­side agi­ta­tors” is not new ‚it has been used effec­tive­ly to neu­tral­ize blacks from com­ing togeth­er . We all know how King and some free­dom rid­ers and count­less oth­er end­ed up, under the guise they were out­side agitators.

The ques­tion we must ask is this, “Were Michael Brown a white 18-year-old would he have died” ? 

I believe it is safe to assume the answer is no. Therein lies the prob­lem. It is an insult to put a black cop in charge of a fes­ter­ing prob­lem while the same peo­ple pull the strings from behind. Does any­one believe State Police Captain Ron Johnson is in charge?

The answer is also no . What the Governor of Missouri have done is put a black face on a dan­ger­ous­ly fes­ter­ing prob­lem . The Governor like every­one else, knows that the world is watch­ing. It does not look good for the world to see the white pow­er struc­ture once again beat­ing down and abus­ing its minor­i­ty population.

The dif­fer­ence this time, thanks to social media and blogs, peo­ple do not have to wait to be spoon-fed by the very media owned by the Oligarchs.

We are not main­stream, we are grass-roots, we have no agen­da beyond truth and jus­tice . We call it as we see it. We do not wor­ry about consequence .

A life lived for one’s self is a life wasted.

Here we speak truth to pow­er, we defend police, we crit­i­cize police. We also crit­i­cize Human Rights Agencies for ever being on the case of small Nations, yet they remain silent on police atroc­i­ties here in America.

These are some of the scenes of America’s out of con­trol police in Ferguson Missouri.

We have just learned that Amnesty International have decid­ed to grace Ferguson with their pres­ence. In the mean­time we will con­tin­ue to call them hyp­ocrites for ignor­ing human rights abuse here in America, until we see real sub­stan­tive action from them.

Human rights groups have gath­ered in Ferguson. Amnesty International sent a 13-per­son human rights del­e­ga­tion to Ferguson, resources the orga­ni­za­tion has nev­er set up domes­ti­cal­ly, until now, accord­ing to BuzzFeed. 

Recent reports revealed Michael Brown was shot at least 6 times , includ­ing twice in the head. Most impor­tant­ly there was no pow­der residue on Brown’s body.

Lack of pow­der residue indi­cate that the cop did not shoot the teen from close range.

This flies in the face of false police reports that Michael Brown was shot dur­ing a strug­gle for the offi­cers gun. This rev­e­la­tion backs up what wit­ness­es to the shoot­ing claimed all along.

From all indi­ca­tions Michael Brown was shot down exe­cu­tion style and left in the streets for over 4 hours with­out any attempts to move him via Ambulance to a Hospital where he could be prop­er­ly pro­nounced dead .

The Cop who shot Michael Brown want­ed to kill him, the dia­gram shows what are called kill-shots, aimed direct­ly to the head and chest of the 18 year old.

We are anx­ious­ly await­ing the report of Amnesty International on this their vir­gin for­ay into real police terror.

Police in Ferguson Missouri should feel ashamed .That shame should also be pal­pa­ble to Cops in Staten Island New York . It should be felt by every cop and every per­son who sup­ports and believes in the rule of law everywhere.

It ought to grate on the con­science of every cop, when the com­mu­ni­ty they serve sees them as mur­der­ous tyrants. Law enforce­ment is a dan­ger­ous job. I know some­thing about that, hav­ing being a front line cop who bear the scar of being shot in the line of duty.

One of the prob­lem which bedev­ils Police Departments is their bone-head­ed approach to cit­i­zens com­plaints . Perceptions are some­times real­i­ty. I served in a Department which did not heed the calls to change until it com­plete­ly lost the con­fi­dence of the public .

It does not help police depart­ments when they bat­ten down the hatch­es and refuse to change. The streets of Ferguson is proof pos­i­tive that approach does not work.

It can­not be that a police offi­cer decid­ed­ly shoots some­one because that per­son is.

1)Running away.

2)Hits a cop.

3)Says some­thing an ego-mani­a­cal cop does not like, or otherwise.

Police offi­cers are autho­rized to use lethal force only in defense of their lives or that of anoth­er. There are police cheer-lead­ers who talk out of the side of their mouths about when cops ought to use lethal force.

The fact is police offi­cers are bound by law to arrest some­one even if that per­son just shot at him/​her as long as that per­son laid the weapon down. Cops nowa­days are very hap­py to exe­cute peo­ple for the slight­est reasons.

The sec­ond rea­son for shame is the loot­ing by cer­tain crim­i­nal ele­ments who are using this tragedy to destroy busi­ness­es in their own com­mu­ni­ty. Residents of Ferguson have every right to demon­strate against police bru­tal­i­ty and aggres­sion against mem­bers of their com­mu­ni­ty. They do not have a right to destroy prop­er­ty. They do not have a right to loot stores and steal property.

Then there is the white major­i­ty which large­ly sits on it’s rear-end and ben­e­fit from white priv­i­leged. By it’s silence and refusal to be iden­ti­fied with those who are suf­fer­ing under the bru­tal yoke of brutish police depart­ments they have sided with the oppres­sors. If this crim­i­nal assault by cops is allowed to con­tin­ue, it will even­tu­al­ly get to their door soon enough. It may not come with the ven­omous hatred many cops have for the black pop­u­la­tion. It will come for oth­er reasons.

Police bru­tal­i­ty is a nation­al Epidemic which sur­vives and thrives on the silent acqui­es­cence of the white major­i­ty. The white major­i­ty pre­tends not to see because it is yet to get to it’s doorsteps. That may soon change. The so called main-stream media does noth­ing to report on police excess­es. Cops pret­ty much have carte-blanche to do what they chose.

I am delight­ed to see res­i­dents of Ferguson stand­ing up and say­ing no more , lets hope this is not a flash in the pan but a National awak­en­ing which will push back the Police to being ser­vants of the peo­ple and not their Lord exe­cu­tion­ers. There is a sense of own­er­ship which comes from the nar­ra­tive of the non-minor­i­ty pop­u­la­tion in this coun­try. Not sure where that sense of own­er­ship comes from.

I haven’t heard the opin­ions of Native Americans on this issue, . I will be hap­py to hear from them when this own­er­ship ques­tion comes up. In the mean­time I will throw my sup­port behind the sons and daugh­ters of slaves who bled and died for this land and still do today. Right now my tol­er­ance for the slave-mas­ters and their house slaves is very low.

As the debate sur­round­ing the rela­tion­ship between the African-American com­mu­ni­ty and Police rages. Many in the black community

con­tin­ue to believe that the rela­tion­ship can be improved by the behav­ior of young black men.

Black mid­dle class believe if they tell their sons to pull up their pants, not run from police, not talk-back to police,not go into the glove com­part­ment when deal­ing with police. dress­ing a cer­tain way etc, etc will keep them safe.

This sen­ti­ment was echoed by Judge Glenda Hatchett and oth­ers recent­ly, in an inter­view con­duct­ed by CNN’s Fredrica Whitfield. I have heard par­ent after par­ent, per­son after per­son, say the same thing. I tell my kids don’t run, don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t have more than two peo­ple in a car etc , etc. Yada, yada, yada, Some of this may make sense.

Ironically ‚irre­spec­tive of what young black men do, noth­ing will change the atti­tudes of police toward the black com­mu­ni­ty or our young sons. It is the atti­tudes of the Police which must change, not what black men do, it will nev­er be enough. As we have seen in Ferguson Missouri and in Staten Island New York these two police depart­ments fun­da­men­tal­ly get it wrong .

Patrick Lynch the head of the NYPD PBA came out swing­ing at his employ­ers, the peo­ple. The peo­ple say “we do not want you killing any­one sell­ing loose cig­a­rettes with choke holds”. The moron­ic Lynch and his cahoots said “resist­ing arrest is a seri­ous crime we will con­tin­ue to do what we do”. That kind of a brain-dead response is inim­i­cal of peo­ple who are boss­es not ser­vants of the people.

In Ferguson the peo­ple say “we do not want Armored per­son­nel car­ri­ers with machine guns in our com­mu­ni­ty when we peace­ably gather

to demon­strate”. What has the brain-dead police done? They deploy the very same mil­i­tary style armor, arguably to antag­o­nize and agi­tate the people.

As I said in a forum with friends today, deliv­ery of police ser­vices must be com­men­su­rate with the needs of the com­mu­ni­ty the police serve. The com­mu­ni­ty pays for police ser­vices, the com­mu­ni­ty deserves a say in what kind of ser­vice they receive and how the ser­vice is delivered.

Yet what hap­pened in Ferguson, what hap­pened in Staten Island, what hap­pen in black com­mu­ni­ties all across America is still being mis­tak­en as com­mu­ni­ty events. Police depart­ments and their large­ly white sup­port struc­ture comes out in sup­port of crim­i­nal-cops who bla­tant­ly over­step their author­i­ty and abuse and kill cit­i­zens. It is very rare that a cop is ever held account­able despite moun­tains of evi­dence of bru­tal­i­ty by them. Cameras have brought to light the com­plaints African-Americans have lev­eled at police for decades. Instead of adding cam­eras to police uni­forms 12 States in the United States have moved to make it ille­gal for cit­i­zens to record police activ­i­ty ‚unless, they have per­mis­sion of the same cops they would be video­tap­ing for wrong-doing.

This sys­tem­at­ic pat­tern of dis­re­spect is hard­ly ever expe­ri­enced by whites . This forms the rea­son many whites rush to the defense of police when these events occur. No one tells young white kids how many of them should be in a car. No one tells them what to wear , or how to wear their clothes. (grant­ed I hate the sag­ging pants , I believe it is the right of young blacks to wear them that way. They will grow out of that trend eventually).

Police do not sodom­ize white men in sta­tion restrooms as NYPD mem­ber Justin Volpe did to AbnerLouima.Sodomized with a bro­ken broom-stick , his pan­creas and blad­der rup­tured. Abner Louima was hos­pi­tal­ized for months. His crime/​He alleged­ly swung at Volpe. It

turned out it was­n’t even Louima who did .

Police do not kill white men the way they did Amadou Diallo. Shot at 41 times 19 bul­lets found his body. The young African immi­grant had noth­ing but his wallet.

They do not kill white men the way they did Sean Bell. Murdered the day he was to be mar­ried. His crime/​he was in a car that sup­pos­ed­ly lurched toward plain­clothes cops.

Or Anthony Baez. Murdered because the foot­ball he and his broth­er was play­ing with alleged­ly hit a police cruis­er. (Police cruis­ers are paid for with tax pay­ers money)

Or Eric Garner. mur­dered using an ille­gal choke-hold. His crime /​He was sus­pect­ed of sell­ing loose untaxed cigarettes.

Or Michael Brown .Allegedly stole some cigars.

Or the count­less oth­ers killed and vicious­ly assault­ed and framed all across America dai­ly. We could go on and on about the sys­tem­at­ic slaugh­ter of young black men but that’s not all. Every year scores of men, large­ly African-Americans, are released from prison. These men are released after new evi­dence of their inno­cence sur­faces , after they have already spent many years of their lives incar­cer­at­ed for crimes they did not commit.

Some argue these men are not Angels. Angels or not, no one deserves to go to prison for a crime he did not com­mit. Prosecutors prosecute

on the evi­dence giv­en them . It fol­lows then that there has been and still is, a seri­ous epi­dem­ic of police fal­si­fy­ing evi­dence to gain con­vic­tions. Thanks to Organizations like the Innocence Project some of the wrong­ful­ly con­vict­ed get to see the light of day again.

There are some well dressed so called blacks who believe peo­ple like Al Sharpton who bring atten­tion to these injus­tices are self-serv­ing. Some of these well dressed mon­keys also believe folks in Ferguson Missouri are over-react­ing , the truth is it will get to their doors-steps soon enough .

These out of con­trol cops do not care about your mon­key-suits or slick-back hair . To them you are just anoth­er N****r.
