Bob L. Just My Opinion But
Nov. 2nd 2014
They talk about Hate Crimes and Race, but why are they not Prosecuting these people who are pushing and promoting vigilantism. Why is it that they are looking the other way when it comes to that, why are they prosecuting whites for hate crimes which are the same thing as what these black are doing.
I hate using the name blacks, I would rather call them Americans Citizens, not African-Americans, African-Americans are the people who were brought here as slaves, today they are just Americans Citizens because they were not born in Africa, it is fine to recognize your heritage, but you are Americans now, but if they want to go there then tell them to go, but these Americans are Americans and should stand up against these race baiters and tell them you are true Americans, and not losers like they keep saying you are.
I believe that they are just as capable (having power and ability; efficient; competent, skillful, ingenious, accomplished) and should not be constantly put down by these people, come on people stop letting these people putting you down, you are not stupid as what they are telling, you are just as smart as any one else, but you keep letting them call you dumb and stupid and will never get any where in life, they are the ones who are keeping you down, come on you are smarter than that, come on show them you are better than them, and not a vigilante (done violently and summarily, without recourse to lawful procedures taking the law in your own hands), that is what they want you to do, when you do that you are no better than them, you are doing just what they want, keeping hate going against each other, they don’t want the people to join in and fight against Hate, Racism, and Profiling.
As long as you have these people promoting Hate, Racism, and Profiling in this Country, there will never be a bond with the American people to get this Country back for all American Citizens to live together.
Sharpton calls for federal prosecution in Ferguson
ST. LOUIS (AP) — With a grand jury decision and a local election looming, the Rev. Al Sharpton returned to St. Louis on Friday to renew calls for the federal prosecution of a white police officer who shot and killed a black 18-year-old in the nearby suburb of Ferguson.
The civil rights activist said leaks about the supposedly secret St. Louis County grand jury deliberations undermine the local inquiry into whether to indict Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown’s killing. The panel is expected to complete its review by mid-November, independent of U.S. Justice Department investigations into both Brown’s death and the broader practices of the Ferguson department.
Legal analysts have said leaked information about Wilson’s testimony to investigators could be an attempt to prepare the public for the possibility that the grand jury might recommend he not face charges.
“The grand jury is tainted. The confidence of the family has been shattered,” Sharpton said after meeting briefly with Brown’s parents and local activists at a breakfast rally before returning to New York. “We should turn this over to the federal government.”
The federal investigation remains open, but investigators face a tall burden in trying to mount a civil rights prosecution against Wilson. The Justice Department would need to prove that he willfully deprived Brown of his civil rights, a challenging standard, especially because police officers are given wide latitude in their use of force. History shows civil rights prosecutions of police officers are far easier to bring in instances where an officer attacks a handcuffed person, or beats someone already in custody, than in a case involving a fluid, ongoing physical struggle.
Brown was unarmed when Wilson encountered him walking in the street with a friend. A scuffle started while Wilson was still in his police SUV and spilled into the street. Brown was shot multiple times. Witness accounts of what happened varied.
Sharpton’s remarks were followed by a training of volunteer “justice disciples” who will monitor the police response to anticipated protests over the upcoming grand jury decision. He’s scheduled to again join Brown’s parents Monday at a get-out-the-vote rally in St. Louis, with a particular emphasis on a St. Louis County executive race that has largely become a referendum on Ferguson.
Sharpton, who delivered the eulogy at Brown’s funeral and has joined Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden at news conferences in Ferguson, Atlanta and Washington, said published reports suggesting Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson was being forced to step down distract from the fundamental point of the Ferguson protests and what organizers call a broader social movement.
“Don’t act like you can exchange a job for justice,” he said. “To suggest that just changing who the chief is answers how this young man was killed is an insult to the intelligence.”
Jackson, meanwhile, criticized Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent call for “wholesale change” in the department.
The Ferguson chief told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Holder’s comments in Washington this week were “irresponsible” while the federal investigations continue. Jackson said he is “low-hanging fruit” for critics but has no plans to resign.
“I think he’s about to leave office and needs to say he accomplished something in Ferguson,” Jackson said of Holder, who has announced his resignation but plans to remain in office until a replacement is confirmed.
