It’s impos­si­ble to turn on the Tv , log onto the Internet , or even lis­ten to an all oldies music sta­tion with­out being bom­bard­ed with news of the NFL’s Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, or Johnathan Dwyer. Yes, even the Disc Jockeys on the oldies music sta­tion I lis­ten to can­not help them­selves. They stop the music to flap their gums about Domestic violence.

I could­n’t put my fin­ger on what it was that unit­ed all of these dif­fer­ent groups and indi­vid­u­als around a com­mon cause. After all Racism has been in America for over 400 years, most wont men­tion it but will quick­ly deny it’s exis­tence. I have a feel­ing the rea­sons behind the vis­cer­al con­dem­na­tion of the trio of wealthy black men by those old white males have pre­cious lit­tle to do with domes­tic vio­lence. That how­ev­er is a con­ver­sa­tion for anoth­er day.

As I have said mul­ti­ple times, what Ray Rice did was not fun­ny , it was crim­i­nal, Period.

Tlhe NFL has had a his­to­ry of Violence. Not just domes­tic vio­lence of the type we saw in that ele­va­tor video, or what Johnathan Dwyer is accused of doing. Let alone Adrian Peterson spank­ing his kids leav­ing marks. Several Former and cur­rent play­ers have been involved in seri­ous felonies to include Murder.

Was the Ray Rice deck­ing of his then fiancé Janay Palmer the straw which broke the prover­bial Camel’s back?

Or was this Tsunami cre­at­ed to drown out some­thing else? Roger Goodell has been suc­cess­ful as Commissioner of the NFL . Does any­one rea­son­ably believe that NFL Owners who vot­ed (33 to 8 in favor of Goodell for Commissioner in 2006, with the Oakland Raiders abstain­ing, were going to show him the door?

Which brings us to what was front and cen­ter in the News, when the Ray rice ele­va­tor video was exhumed. .

POLICE KILLINGS

Why is it that peo­ple do not want to face the fact that Police Officers are ille­gal­ly killing and seri­ous­ly hurt­ing inno­cent people?

As I’m writ­ing this a Ohio Grand Jury ruled that Cops act­ed prop­er­ly in the Walmart killing of John Crawford III, a 22-year-old black man. According to the web­site Gawker​.com 

Ronald Ritchie, the 24-year-old who made that 911 call, is amend­ing what he orig­i­nal­ly told police and reporters about the Aug. 5 inci­dent. Ritchie, to the dis­patch­er: “He’s, like, point­ing it at peo­ple.” He also said in the call that Crawford was try­ing to load the gun, caus­ing 911 to tell offi­cers, “he just put some bul­lets inside.”

Ritchie, to reporters at the time: “He was point­ing at peo­ple. Children walk­ing by.” Ritchie in the Guardian this week: “At no point did he shoul­der the rifle and point it at some­body.” Well, that’s cer­tain­ly a dif­fer­ent sto­ry. What changed dur­ing the past month?

Ritchie says he was allowed to view the sealed secu­ri­ty video, recent­ly shown to Crawford’s fam­i­ly and their attor­neys, that report­ed­ly shows Crawford nev­er lift­ed the BB gun and was on the phone and stand­ing still when offi­cers shot and killed him.

Will this liar be held account­able for what he did ? Don’t hold your breath, it was only a black man who died.

We do not know how Cops dealt with this case, as a for­mer cop I will not begin to sec­ond guess what occurred in this par­tic­u­lar case. From all indi­ca­tions they lied about yelling out orders before fir­ing 5 bul­lets into his body. Eye-wit­ness­es account indi­cate he nev­er knew what hit him. These Cops know they would nev­er be held account­able for killing Crawford. All is required is that they plant a fab­ri­cat­ed sto­ry in the Main stream Media that Crawford was wav­ing around the air rifle. They would do the rest. Even when evi­dence sur­faced that he was­n’t they still con­tin­ue the lie.

The Grand Juries are gen­er­al­ly made up of the most pro-Police peo­ple, who lack objec­tive think­ing. Usually rel­a­tives of cops. In the United States the Grand Jury process involv­ing Cops is a grave mis-car­riage of Justice for the fam­i­lies of those wrong­ful­ly killed by Police. There is no Justice in them.

As if that killing was­n’t bad enough, there were mul­ti­ple oth­er killings in the News which sim­ply would­n’t go away. Staten Island Native 43 year old Eric Garner was killed by NYPD cops who used a two decades old banned choke hold.Garner was accused of alleged­ly sell­ing un-taxed cig­a­rettes. In Ferguson Missouri an unarmed 18 year old Michael Brown was gunned down by Police offi­cer Darren Wilson. Brown was­n’t even accused of com­mit­ting a crime.

In St Louis County a few miles from where Brownwas exe­cut­ed Kijame Powell a 25 year old black man of unsound mind was sum­mar­i­ly gunned down by police 23 sec­onds after

arriv­ing on scene. Powell was alleged­ly act­ing weird , but had not hurt any­one. Cops arrived and imme­di­ate­ly esca­lat­ed what from video evi­dence was a non-issue, then sum­mar­i­ly exe­cut­ed him on the spot. This even as ten­sions were run­ning extreme­ly high in Ferguson a few miles away. Those cops did not stop to think what if we don’t get away with this?

In Saratoga Springs. …Utah 22 year old Darren Hunt was killed by police, 6 bul­lets to the back, he was car­ry­ing a sword. Eyewitnesses say he was run­ning from

cops.

These are just a few of the black men who were killed in quick suc­ces­sion across the coun­try. This does not include the vis­cous assaults cops com­mit­ted on men and women of col­or which did not result in death. The media need­ed to find some­thing else to talk about. The already League lit­i­gat­ed Ray Rice sto­ry was resus­ci­tat­ed and giv­en new life to take the heat off cops and it worked.

In the mean­time Criminal cops could go back to what they were doing . abus­ing and killing with­out con­se­quence. There are good cops in every police depart­ment. If you are a good cop read­ing this and you do noth­ing when your col­leagues do these things, you are not a good cop. You are a criminal.

Unfortunately none of the cow­ard­ly grand-standers will have the courage, char­ac­ter or integri­ty to stand with preg­nant Sandra Amezquita, 44, who was thrown to the ground by NYPD cops.” Seriously though, what kind of cop does that? A Lawyer speak­ing on behalf of the woman said “Her bel­ly is now with black and blue bruis­es. She’s bleed­ing and she’s hav­ing complications.”

Sandra Amezquita, stepped in to pro­tect her 17 year old son who was being stopped and frisked by Cops of the Brooklyn 72 Precinct. This hap­pened less than a week after an offi­cer from the same precinct was sus­pend­ed for kick­ing a street ven­dor, accord­ing to WABC.

Ray Rice is cru­ci­fied for punch­ing out his fiancé, and cor­rect­ly so. What should hap­pen to Cowardly cops who do this to a preg­nant woman?Or are we to believe it is okay for cops abuse women but no one else is allowed?

After all the Government is ready to cru­ci­fy Adrian Peterson for dis­ci­plin­ing his chil­dren he’s not sup­posed to. But it’s per­fect­ly with­in the realms of accept­abil­i­ty for the Government’s paid enforcers to mete out what­ev­er pun­ish­ment they see fit includ­ing death with­out consequence.

Who will bell this can­cer­ous cat? The silence will be deaf­en­ing, guar­an­teed. I am wait­ing to see the tough-guys who want­ed a piece of Ray Rice stand up and demand jus­tice for this preg­nant mother.

I won’t hold my breath, I did say you were hyp­ocrites and frauds. You are hyp­ocrites and frauds !

According to pre­sid­ing coro­ner Patrick Murphy, the sev­en-mem­ber jury, in their unan­i­mous ver­dict, con­clud­ed that “rat insec­ti­cide” was the agent used to poi­son the for­mer com­mand­ing offi­cer for the trou­bled Clarendon divi­sion that has been linked to the death squad inves­ti­ga­tion. “They [jurors] agreed that he was poi­soned, but they don’t have the infor­ma­tion to say how he was poi­soned or who poi­soned him,” Murphy explained. The ver­dict, which came after 35 min­utes of delib­er­a­tion, means that if new infor­ma­tion is uncov­ered, the police can reopen the probe into Henry’s death. As is report­ed in the JAMAICA GLEANER .

I have dogged­ly fol­lowed this case from the moment I heard that SSP Dathan (Duffy Henry was Hospitalized. To those who do not know him, SSP Henry Officer in charge of the Parish of Clarendon. To Me he was Duffy. Duffy and I served at the Constant Spring CIB in the late 1980’s to ear­ly 1990’s I was pro­mot­ed Acting Corporal. We sat the Accelerated Exams togeth­er we both passed. I left the Force in 1991 Duffy stayed . I was proud but not sur­prised to see Duffy climb the lad­der to the rank of SSP rather rapidly.

He was smart , and curi­ous. No mat­ter what sit­u­a­tion you are in he could make you laugh , he was just an all around good guy. I spoke to him just months before he died, by phone from New York . He had­n’t changed a bit , same Duffy !

From the begin­ning the streets had it that he was poi­soned, any­one famil­iar with us Jamaicans

know once there is a rumor cir­cu­lat­ing in the streets , it bears inves­ti­gat­ing. I have writ­ten sev­er­al Articles since his death. I did so to keep the case alive, so some­one would be brought to jus­tice for killing him.

As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article, a Coroner’s Jury can­not say who poi­soned Dathan Henry . It can only say that his death is a Homicide. Well guess what? Everyone sus­pect­ed that. The Jury has said that he was sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly poi­soned mean­ing he was poi­soned over a peri­od of time.

My great­est fear after Duffy’s death was that the so-called Detectives at the Major Investigations task­force (MIT) inves­ti­gat­ing his death would not be worth a damn nickel.

This will be upset­ting to many past and present mem­bers, frankly I don’t real­ly care. These Detectives today can­not inves­ti­gate a crime com­mit­ted in their view. They are prac­ti­cal­ly worth­less when it comes to doing a prop­er Investigation clos­ing all the loop-holes and bring­ing a cred­i­ble case to Prosecution.

I wrote rather point­ed­ly dur­ing this peri­od of wait­ing, beseech­ing the Police to con­tin­ue to do a thor­ough Investigation with a view to bring­ing the perpetrator‑s to jus­tice for killing this man. Even as I did , I was nev­er con­vinced they had the abil­i­ty to con­duct a cred­i­ble Investigation.

Never once, In the time since I left the Force have I ever wished I was still serv­ing, until now. I may come off a bit arro­gant, but so be it. If I was serv­ing I would have done every­thing in my pow­er to help in bring­ing Dathan Henry’s killer/​s to Justice , and she/​he would be convicted.

Roxan Henry, SSP Henry’s broth­er and the fam­i­ly spokesman, made it clear that they will con­tin­ue their push to have the police con­duct a more detailed probe and are con­tem­plat­ing hir­ing an attor­ney to ensure that this happens.

The prob­lem with this is, that the incom­pe­tent Police Department is still nec­es­sary. Yes an Attorney can watch pro­ceed­ings on behalf of the fam­i­ly but it requires good police work to bring the perpetrator/​s to jus­tice. The kind of Investigation which ceased to exist many years ago.

It is sad but the JCF owes this fam­i­ly a con­vic­tion. Dathan Duffy Henry was a smart young man who could have done any­thing he chose to with his life. He chose the Police Department. It is a sad indict­ment on that Department that it can­not bring to jus­tice the killer/​s one of one of it’s best and bright­est stars. “He did not poi­son him­self … he did not com­mit sui­cide. Someone poi­soned him,” Roxan Henry insist­ed. He cer­tain­ly did not , his killer/​s are walk­ing around right there in Jamaica.

The Secret Service chief has stepped-up secu­ri­ty out­side the White House after a man with a knife who jumped the fence made it into the pres­i­den­tial res­i­dence before being appre­hend­ed, offi­cials said Saturday.This was report­ed by the huff​in​g​ton​post​.com

Seriously the man had time to Jump a fence, cross the lawns and enter the res­i­dence of the President of The United States of America , and by the way it is report­ed that the man was armed with a fold­ing knife. There are so many things wrong with this pic­ture that I will come back to it.

It is report­ed that President Barack Obama insist­ed he still has con­fi­dence in the belea­guered agen­cy’s abil­i­ty to pro­tect him and his family.

What else is he going to say? He still has to depend on them to pro­tect him for not only the remain­der of his tenure in office but for the remain­der of his life. It is not the first time that there has been foul-up by this Agency, involv­ing this President.

in March Agents were in the Netherlands as part of a con­tin­gent prepar­ing for President Obama’s vis­it. According to offi­cials, one Secret Service agent was found intox­i­cat­ed and passed out in the hall­way of his hotel. Hotel staff sub­se­quent­ly alert­ed U.S. author­i­ties. This agent and two oth­ers — who were his com­pan­ions on a night out drink­ing in the Dutch cap­i­tal — were dis­ci­plined by being sent home for not exer­cis­ing bet­ter judgment.

Nearly two years ago an advance team ahead of an Obama vis­it to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas got drunk. In that case, Secret Service agents hit the clubs of Cartagena for a night of drink­ing that end­ed with them bring­ing pros­ti­tutes back to their hotel. The agency imme­di­ate­ly pulled 11 agents alleged­ly involved in the scan­dal from Obama’s secu­ri­ty detail, put them on admin­is­tra­tive leave and removed their secu­ri­ty clearances.

How much is enough? The media is engrossed in a feed­ing fren­zy sur­round­ing the Ray Rice Elevator inci­dent , They just won’t let it go. Yes what Rice did was despi­ca­ble, but now it’s much larg­er than Rice . Every lit­tle Racist turd has now crawled out of their hole and is now pass­ing Judgement. This is an issue of National Import. Where is the cov­er­age? Or are we to assume that the Nation’s first black fam­i­ly in the White House is unde­serv­ing of the pro­tec­tion com­men­su­rate with the office? The same pro­tec­tion afford­ed pre­vi­ous occu­pants of the White House.

President Barack Obama and his daugh­ter had just left the White House by heli­copter on Friday evening when the Secret Service says 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez scaled the fence, dart­ing across the lawn and through the unlocked North Portico doors before offi­cers final­ly tack­led him. Officials had orig­i­nal­ly said that Gonzalez appeared unarmed as he sprint­ed across the lawn — poten­tial­ly one rea­son agents did­n’t shoot him or release their ser­vice dogs to detain him.

This is a ridicu­lous­ly absurd state­ment, designed only to cov­er their ass­es? How could they make that deter­mi­na­tion while he was run­ning toward the President’s Residence? It must be con­strued that any­one who unlaw­ful­ly breach­es the fence sur­round­ing the White House and tries to enter the Building has mal-intent ! What if he had a bomb strapped to his body ‚or sim­ply had one in his pos­ses­sion? How could they tell he did­n’t have a gun? Did they see the knife while he was run­ning ? Isn’t a knife a weapon capa­ble of killing some­one? Did they think about that state­ment before they con­coct­ed it? Who made that deci­sion not to take out that intrud­er? Would a black intrud­er have been giv­en that ben­e­fit? The answer is no!

That state­ment does not stand scruti­ny. They had no prob­lem killing 34-year-old Miriam Carey, of Stamford, Conn. on Friday Oct 4^th Last year. The inci­dent began at about 2:30 p.m. at the White House gates at 15^th and E streets NW. Police say Carey had attempt­ed to ram a tem­po­rary secu­ri­ty bar­ri­er out­side the White House with her car, then struck a Secret Service uni­formed divi­sion offi­cer. She then fled the scene, lead­ing police on a chase. Carey had her one year-old baby in the car at the time, This did not stop Secret Service and Capitol Police from killing her. Carey’s moth­er said her daugh­ter was suf­fer­ing from post-par­tum depression.

If some­one breached the pri­vate sanc­tum of my home with­out my per­mis­sion I would be livid. This guy breached the Residence of the leader of the free world and there is no con­se­quences. What if this is a dry run? The President and his fam­i­ly were not at home at the time. What if they were? As the Media spot­light blazes and the pontificaters

grand­stand about Ray Rice and whether Roger Goodell should be fired the real seri­ous issues are receiv­ing no atten­tion . As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article, all of this noise about the NFL, though of some mer­it, is being done to drown out the calls for atten­tion to the killing of black men across America by Police.

With all of the hype sur­round­ing the Secret Service , I am yet to be con­vinced that this is a pro­fes­sion­al agency which takes the safe­ty of the Nation’s chief exec­u­tive and his fam­i­ly seri­ous­ly. Those wish­ing to do the President and his fam­i­ly harm only has to be right once. They seem to be get­ting a hell of a lot of oppor­tu­ni­ty toward that end.

Over the last month or so there has been a lot of Press sur­round­ing the Police Killing of young men of color.The list of those killed or oth­er­wise abused is long. These are just a few of the lives which were snuffed out by police. Many insists none of these men need­ed to die.

Which leads us to ask, “when did police become Agents of Execution”? I though Police Officers were sup­posed to serve and pro­tect ! Who are Police Officers pro­tect­ing and serv­ing these days? The Media Spotlight was focused for a week on Ferguson Missouri, as the hor­rif­ic killing of Michael Brown gripped peo­ple in America with souls and con­sciences. Now this does not apply to some, in this coun­try cer­tain quar­ters are only con­cerned when mem­bers of a cer­tain group are killed.

Then every­thing comes to a halt and every­one is inun­dat­ed with blan­ket wall-to-wall griev­ing and com­men­tary. Despite the blood-let­ting of young African-Americans those con­cerned were main­ly , .….. well .……African-Americans.

So how do you qui­et all of this talk about Police abuse?

Wait, I got it, we will turn the con­ver­sa­tion around .We will once again high­light just how vio­lent Young African men are, that is why they are get­ting killed. But just how do we do that? … wait , wait, it will come to me.….…

Got it, we will go straight to the NFL ‚there are a lot of big, strong , abu­sive black men there, bingo.

♦Eric Garner killed by New York Police Department on Staten Island with a banned choke-hold. Cop on paid leave, no action tak­en against him or his cahoots.

♦ Mike Brown gunned down in Ferguson Missouri eye­wit­ness­es say Brown had his hands up when he was shot sev­er­al times. Cop is on paid leave. No action tak­en against them.

♦ Kajieme Powell Killed by St Louis Cops. Powell of unsound mind was act­ing strange­ly , cops were called , 23 sec­onds after the cops arrived Powell was dead. No action tak­en against the cops.

♦John Crawford Killed in a Beaver Creek Ohio Wal-Mart, his crime pick­ing up an Air Rifle which was on sale and walk­ing around with it while talk­ing to his girl­friend on the phone. Crawford’s girl­friend said cops killed him on sight. Shot in the back. No action tak­en against the cops.

♦Darrien Hunt shot dead by Saratoga Springs Utah Police. his crime, walk­ing around with a sword. Hunt was pho­tographed smil­ing and talk­ing to Police just moments before he was shot alleged­ly 6 times in the back. No action tak­en against the cops.

The NFL has a his­to­ry of abuse of all kinds by it’s play­ers , Black, White , and what­ev­er oth­er col­or they come in . Domestic abuse, sex­u­al abuse, what­ev­er. They do it.)

1) Ask Ben Roethlisberger ‚On July 17, 2009, a civ­il suit was filed in Washoe County, Nevada District Court accus­ing Roethlisberger of sex­u­al­ly assault­ing Andrea McNulty, 31, in June 2008 in his hotel room while he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebri­ty golf tournament.

2) On March 5, 2010, it was revealed that police in Milledgeville, Georgia were inves­ti­gat­ing Roethlisberger for a sex­u­al assault inside the wom­en’s restroom of the Capital City night­club. The accuser was treat­ed at Oconee Regional Medical Center. An emer­gency-room doc­tor and two nurs­es exam­ined her and not­ed in their report a “super­fi­cial lac­er­a­tion and bruis­ing and slight bleed­ing in the gen­i­tal area”, but could not say if trau­ma or sex­u­al assault was the cause. Milledgeville Police Sergeant Jerry Blash, who had posed for a pho­to­graph with Roethlisberger ear­li­er in the evening, was the first offi­cer to respond. At the scene, he made a com­ment about the accuser to Barravecchio: “We have a prob­lem, this drunk­en [exple­tive], drunk off her ass, is accus­ing Ben of rape.” Blash lat­er admit­ted den­i­grat­ing the accuser and nev­er for­mal­ly ques­tion­ing Roethlisberger; he did speak to the NFL play­er and his off-duty police body­guards at the Capital City club, but accord­ing to Blash’s own report, Roethlisberger was hard­ly engaged and spent most of the time on his phone.^{[14]wikipedia}

No charges were ever filed against Roethlisberger. In fact it appears the Police cov­ered his ass.

The listof play­ers who have run afoul of the law is well established.

Aaron Hernandez charged with dou­ble murder.

Ray Lewis charged and exon­er­at­ed of Murder.

Rae Carruth Sentenced for con­spir­a­cy to mur­der . In prison.

Hubert D. Thompson mur­der of a 66 year old man. In prison.

Barret Robbins Attempted mur­der , dis­s­a­peared since 2007.

Jim Dunaway Murder, reduced to wrong­ful death for the killing of his wife.

Tommy Kane Manslaughter.

O. J. Simpson Murder , exon­ner­at­ed , doing time for rob­bing his own prop­er­ty, in essence doing time for the mur­ders he was not con­vict­ed of .

It’s not like the NFL has not been full of vio­lent men for a long time. So why all of a sud­den are we bom­bard­ed with round the clock cov­er­age about wife punch­ers, head-but­ters and child spankers, when the League was always filled with mur­der­ers and sex offenders?

It is to change the sub­ject . Guess what the sub­ject is changed and you did­n’t even notice. These peo­ple are awful­ly slick.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is pub­licly urg­ing the Minnesota Vikings to sus­pend embat­tled run­ning back Adrian Peterson until his ongo­ing child abuse alle­ga­tions have been set­tled. Peterson was rein­stat­ed Monday just hours before alle­ga­tions of a sec­ond inci­dent with anoth­er one of his four-year-old sons came to light. “It is an awful sit­u­a­tion,” Dayton said in a writ­ten state­ment issued from his office in St. Paul.

“Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.’ However, he is a pub­lic fig­ure; and his actions, as described, are a pub­lic embar­rass­ment to the Vikings orga­ni­za­tion and the State of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of vis­i­ble wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tol­er­at­ed in our state. Therefore, I believe the team should sus­pend Mr. Peterson, until the accu­sa­tions of child abuse have been resolved by the crim­i­nal jus­tice system.”

What a flam­ing hyp­ocrite, sure Adrian Peterson’s right to due process must be sus­pend­ed to ensure that the Vikings Organization and the State of Minnesota be saved embar­rass­ment. Never mind that Peterson has not yet got­ten his day in court.

Where does Politicians get off telling pri­vate com­pa­nies how to run their busi­ness­es any­way? Here’s a word of advise to the good­ly Governor, take your script­ed state­ment back . Re-word it then re-write it . Here’s what you should say ““Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.‘Signed: Mark Dayton.

You see Governor, after that line every­thing you said revealed you to be a med­dling hypocrite.

Governor here is what you should hang your damn head about .This is what’s shame­ful , please remove the hood from your face for a minute and look at what your KKK mem­bers dressed as cops are doing while you med­dle in what does not con­cern you .

Oh by the way this hap­pened on your watch. So there are no excus­es. You see Governor Dayton the high­er you climb is the more you expose your­self. Look at the abu­sive KKK mem­bers you have on your pay­roll and leave the courts to do it’s job. You are not a King.…

By the way there are a lot more of these offi­cial abuse by your Thugs. Do your job and leave oth­ers to do theirs.

You hyp­ocrite .….

UPDATE :::::

Since we went to pub­li­ca­tion the Minnesota Vikings have bowed to the pres­sure and once again benched Adrian Peterson for a sec­ond straight Game even though , like we said before, he has not had due process. 

The take-away from this, is just how pow­er­ful the Governor’s pres­sure is. Yet these bas­tards nev­er have a kind word for vic­tims of police abuse. Neither do they ever want to stand up and demand that the thugs on the State’s pay­roll respect the rights of every­one young or old , black or white.

REGGIE BUSH

I most def­i­nite­ly dis­ci­pline my daugh­ter. I have a 1‑year-old daugh­ter and I dis­ci­pline her,” Bush said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show, via CBS New York. “Obviously every per­son is dif­fer­ent. And I def­i­nite­ly will use my best judg­ment to dis­ci­pline her, depend­ing on the sit­u­a­tion on what hap­pens. I def­i­nite­ly will try to … obvi­ous­ly not leave bruis­es or any­thing like that on her. But I def­i­nite­ly will dis­ci­pline her harsh­ly depend­ing on, again what the sit­u­a­tion is.”

CHARLES BARKLEY

In a con­ver­sa­tion with Jim Rome for CBS sports.

“I’m from the South. Whipping is … we do that all the time,” the for­mer bas­ket­ball star, who was born and raised in Leeds, Alabama, said. “Every black par­ent in the South is gonna be in jail under those cir­cum­stances. I think we have to be care­ful let­ting peo­ple dic­tate how they treat their chil­dren.” When Rome con­tend­ed that it does­n’t mat­ter where some­one is from because “right is right and wrong is wrong,” Barkley dis­agreed. “I don’t believe that because, lis­ten, we spank kids in the South,” he said. “I think the ques­tion about did Adrian Peterson go over­board. … But, lis­ten, Jim, we all grow up in dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ments. Every black par­ent in my neigh­bor­hood in the South would be in trou­ble or in jail under those cir­cum­stances. … As far as being from the South, we all spanked our kids. I got spanked, me and my two brothers.”

CHRIS CARTER

“This goes across all racial lines, eth­nic­i­ties, reli­gious back­grounds. People in dis­ci­plin­ing their chil­dren. People with any sort of Christian back­ground, they real­ly believe in dis­ci­plin­ing their chil­dren,” Carter began. “My mom did the best job she could do rais­ing sev­en kids by her­self. But there are thou­sands of things that I have learned since then that my mom was wrong. This is the 21^st cen­tu­ry. My mom was wrong. She did the best she could, but she was wrong about some of that stuff she taught me. And I promised my kids that I won’t teach that mess to them. You can’t beat a kid to make him do what you want to do.”

Hmmmm. Eagles coach Buddy Ryan in 1989 cut Cris Carter fol­low­ing the pre-sea­son. Carter lat­er admit­ted that Ryan released him because of alco­hol and drug abuse, includ­ing large amounts of ecsta­sy, cocaine and mar­i­jua­na, and cred­its his for­mer coach with help­ing him turn his life around as a result. 

This Pharisee was allowed back into the NFL to play and is now in the Hall of Fame now here he is stand­ing in Judgement of oth­ers. Let those with­out sin cast the first stone.

Barack Obama will be crit­i­cized and dis­re­spect­ed by prob­a­bly half of America irre­spec­tive of how well he does on any giv­en sub­ject. On September 11^th 2001 planes crashed into the twin tow­ers in low­er Manhattan killing over 3,000 peo­ple. George Bush who was President at the time was alert­ed by his chief of staff Andy Card as he sat in a Florida class-room. Bush sat trans­fixed for a good five min­utes as if unsure how to react.

Bush waged America’s longest war in Afghanistan. Not sat­is­fied he waged an ille­gal war in Iraq killing that Country’s leader and splin­ter­ing Iraq’s eth­nic tribes the Sunnis, Shiite and oth­er eth­nic minori­ties leav­ing them to wage war against each oth­er. Unable to cap­ture or kill Osama Bin Laden whom they blamed for the attacks on the twin Towers Towers and the Pentagon , Bush shift­ed his rea­son for being in Iraq to Nation-building.

There was no talk of Nation Building when he ille­gal­ly invad­ed a Sovereign Iraq. The lie then was that Saddam Hussein had what was coined as weapons of mass destruc­tion. Never mind that America, it’s European Allies and Israel pos­sess enough weapons of mass destruc­tion to destroy the Earth sev­er­al times over. Bush’s Cowboy atti­tude with America’s mil­i­tary pow­er, the Neocons world view and Donald Rumsfeld’s incom­pe­tence in han­dling the Iraq war cre­at­ed a smol­der­ing caul­dron of Militancy in the Middle East. At the cen­ter of Middle East ani­mos­i­ty toward the west is the Palestinian peo­ple’s con­tin­ued oppres­sion at the hands of Israel , aid­ed and abet­ted by America and some west­ern nations.

Bound at the hip in Military mus­cle-flex­ing with America was Britain, which was still act­ing like a world pow­er. Recent events includ­ing the newest Militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS emerged from the hor­nets nest Bush and his Neocon friends stirred up. Between the wars and incom­pe­tence Bush wrecked the Economy caus­ing mil­lions their jobs and homes. The crash of the American Economy in 2008 was rivaled only by the great depression.

THE ECONOMY

Under Obama, the econ­o­my has added 9.425 mil­lion jobs and lost 4.887, for a net gain of 4.538 mil­lion jobs. That’s a 3 mil­lion advan­tage over Bush. accord­ing to the Daily beast Michael Tomasky. 

WARS

Obama has wound down the Iraq war which he opposed from the start. In fact some argue he was elect­ed President pri­mar­i­ly because of his oppo­si­tion to that ille­gal, illog­i­cal war. The Afghan war is in it’s final throes. Obama did as he promised he would.

IMMIGRATION

Many Liberals are miffed at Obama for the num­ber of peo­ple deport­ed on his watch. Every week thou­sands of peo­ple are deport­ed from the United States for the flim­si­est of rea­sons. This process rips fam­i­lies apart, usu­al­ly it’s the par­ents who have breached US laws. Notwithstanding the chil­dren are made to suf­fer. The entire notion sur­round­ing the stat­ue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your hud­dled mass­es yearn­ing to breathe free”,now a colos­sal lie. Republicans have stead­fast­ly blocked Immigration reform claim­ing that Immigrants are Democratic vot­ers. Every attempt at reform is labeled an Amnesty. Of course their Conservative Hero Ronald Reagan grant­ed amnesty to peo­ple in the shad­ows dur­ing his presidency.

OSAMA BIN-LADEN

This speaks for itself, Bush could­n’t get him, Obama did.

HEALTH CARE

Affordable Care Act the law of the land

Obama has out per­formed George Bush by every met­ric in less than 6 years , com­pared to Bush’s two terms. So there is no log­i­cal claim to be made against Obama as it relates to com­pe­tence, as it has been dur­ing Bush’s tenure. I won’t both­er to talk about the fact that despite Government lock-downs and across the board dis­rup­tion of the econ­o­my, Republicans, are slat­ed to retake the sen­ate and make fur­ther gains in the House. You decide on what that says about the voters.

Recently President Obama was exco­ri­at­ed for going back to play Golf after address­ing the Nation on the exe­cu­tion of an American Journalist by ISIS. The ver­bal assault is noth­ing new from those on the right. Their hatred for this President because of his

race is pal­pa­ble . It also makes them irrel­e­vant as seri­ous objec­tors. In response the pres­i­dent said he should have been more aware of the optics! You think?

Which leads me ask this of the President. Why would you want to play Golf at a Country Club owned by the Racist smut Donald Trump? Mister President there is an old Jamaican proverb which says “you lie with dogs you rise with fleas“No dis­re­spect to my Lab “Bud”. President Obama did not catch fleas from this Mutt. He end­ed up hav­ing to con­tend with the snide remark attrib­uted to him below.

Mister President you are a smart man but I believe the fact that you were raised on the Hawaiian Islands have total­ly cre­at­ed a false sense of America in you. On learn­ing that major Clubs in Westchester New York have rebuffed the President’s attempt to play Golf on their cours­es, I was embar­rassed for him, but most­ly I was embar­rassed for America, just not surprised

This is the kind of thing one would expect from states such as Mississippi Alabama Texas and oth­ers where intel­li­gence is a rar­i­ty, and where igno­rance flour­ish­es. Obviously the back­lash against Barack Obama is far deep­er than just the KKK mem­bers who now don Police Uniforms under the guise of law enforce­ment offi­cers. The chick­ens are indeed com­ing home to roost.

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.
