Rather than adopt measures to fix the dangerously smoldering problem of police abuse in America, state Governors trot out national guards to show force when the volcano erupt in places.
How long do they think they will be able to play whack-a-mole?
This is a systemic problem which has persisted for a long time . Police abuse is nothing new in America,
if you tune out the noise of America’s self-righteous hypocrisy about human rights you realize just how badly America’s police forces are, when compared to police departments in other countries in the western world.
In truth they get away with abuse of black citizens largely because the black community is a fractured disoriented entity with differing and self serving positions.
As such state Legislators are under no pressure to reign in their police departments. Police departments for their part generally operate as laws onto themselves with little or no oversight or accountability.
There are no uniformed accountability for Americans killed by the tens of thousands of law-enforcement agencies around the country.
It is basically left up to Agencies like the American Civil Liberties Union to try to figure out how many citizens are killed by agents of the government.
As America project it’s influence abroad, one built on the misnomer of equality on democracy, the
sporadic eruption of violence on it’s streets exposes the abuse of minorities at home.
This abuse is not new, it has characterized the soul of America since it’s inception.
What is happening now is that the world is able to see for itself what America’s minority communities have complained of all along.
Sadly the problem of police abuse will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
As we have maintained in these columns before,the issue of police abuse must be addressed at the level of state legislatures.
State legislatures are responsible for enacting laws which govern everyone including cops.
Police departments are agents of the state.
They do what they do at the behest of the states.
When they kill ‚they do so on the authority granted to them by the states.
When they are not held accountable , it’s the states decision not to hold them accountable.
Hurling bottles and stones at police, burning businesses will not fix the problem.
State Governors and legislatures must be held accountable for the actions of their agents.
Incredibly for black America there will be no return on the 1.3 trillion dollars it is slated to spend this
year on goods and services.
Just recently companies like Walmart and a host of others were up in arms against Indiana’s religious freedom law.
That law said people have a right to refuse performing services to homosexuals if that service conflicts with their religious belief.
Where is their support for the tens of thousands of black men killed in America over the decades, even when the killings happen in their store as happened to John Crawford in Beaver Creek Ohio?
The business community does not care about the money blacks spend. They know that money will not stop. They know that as a people blacks are splintered and without leadership.
They understand full well that even if developed, no strategy of withholding support to their businesses would be successful because of the uncooperative nature of blacks.
A uncooperative nature which is centered around a rapacious consumerist desire for material possessions, coupled with it’s desire to seek validation through its spending.
Conversely they are fully aware that Homosexuals have
serious money power but most importantly they are immensely capable of galvanizing support to their cause.
It’s absolutely shocking to hear the black talking heads on television whenever an American city erupts in violence against police crimes.
The narrative is certainly never centered on the burning issue at hand which is America’s killing of unarmed black men.
The conversation is always deflected to the peripheral issues of poverty, lack of jobs and opportunists which though germane are not central to the burning issue of police violence.
Police are not killing people because they are poor, they are doing so because they do not believe they will be held accountable.
They do not believe they will be sent to prison.
That’s whats at issue.
