There is no widespread epidemic of cops shooting and/or killing unarmed black men

"There is no widespread epidemic of cops shooting and/or killing unarmed black men. That's a false flag waved by the uninformed, the lazy and the crowd that needs Ebola and ISIS and disappearing airplanes for traction. Police killing unarmed men of any color is a man-bites-dog tragedy. It's rare, which is what makes the occurrence so television titillating. Of course, every instance is one too many, and as a society we should do everything we can to prevent it. But all this talk about "the talk" that black parents must have with their sons about interacting with police is slightly misguided."

If there is ever to be change we can believe in, Black and Brown first have to understand that your very existence dependents on your taking a stand and never deviating from it until that change is realized! The absence of jobs and upward mobilization is the formula used to deny and defile the existence of Black and Brown in America; fight that belief with improvement of your job skills!

It starts with the incarceration, it ends with the eradication of minorities in America. The most visible fact is the incarceration of the Native American American; a proud people quartered in lands strictly for their self-incarceration. You saw it with the interment of the Japanese during World War II; it is manifested in the segregation of Black and Brown in the quality of jobs and education, and it will continue with the murdering of Black and Brown on the streets of America.

You, Black and Brown America, must use the limited resources available to you resist those things that aid and abet those that would see Black and Brown remain hostage by the color of their skin. The power of Black and Brown to foster change lies in unity of effort - cater exclusively to your neighborhood entrepreneurs, businesses, social networks! Stop using enterprises that deny you upward mobility. If your employer hinders your growth, use the system to gain skills that will enable you to move up!

Disengage yourselves from the notion that your 'one' vote doesn't matter - it does! Go to the polls with the same intensity that you are garnering to march in protest to the ever deterioration of your rights to exist in a free society. Use the same will that urges you to stand in lines around the corner for an iPhone or a concert ticket to stand inline and vote for candidates that are willing to make a difference for your plight!

A united front, a one brother reaching down to pull another brother up concept sets the tone for comeuppance! The power of unity destroys the chains and bars that hold us down!

Should Ferguson see more resignations?

 

We are learning of the ramifications of the failure to maintain integrity in the grand jury inquiry in the shooting death of Michael Brown!

Violation of the State and Federal laws governing the proceedings in that grand jury inquiry will cost all involved their livelihoods plus some time in Federal/State prison.

I believe that it is only fitting and just that all of these people, including Darren Wilson, get exactly what they deserve for the killing of Michael Brown.

Follow The Forensics; It Never Lies!

It is apparent that America has morphed into a Police State! The patterns of such a demised evident by the increase in frequency of incidents of police brutality coupled with the refusal to prosecute policemen by District Attorneys across the United States!

Crimes against citizens are way too frequent to dismiss the trend! This trend did not start with the death of Trayvon Martin; it did not start with the beating of Rodney King; it started long before the advent of portable cameras! The truth is now being televised by eye-witnesses taking videos of such incidents - "roll the tape" is the new cry from those subjected to police abuse!

New evidence supports claims by eye-witnesses that Michael Brown was falling forward when the 'kill shot' was made by Darren Wilson! Darren Wilson has, before an indictment jury,  perjured himself because the forensics does not agree with his version of what occurred! Two key witnesses maintain that Micheal Brown was facing Officer Wilson with his hands up when he was shot in the face, a shot that sent him forward in a fall; the final 'kill shot' entered the top of his head centered to the rear of his skull.

Most critical to pathologist is the direction of the 'kill shot'! That bullet entered rear of center in the top of his head and traveled at a downward angle that saw the bullet exit through his lower jaw! There is absolutely no other conclusion that can be drawn from this evidence other than the victim's head was extremely lower than originally thought!



Too add insult to injury, it is evident that the Ferguson Police Department is an active participant in the quest to not show transparency in the investigation of the shooting of Michael Brown. While it is indeed necessary to maintain zero leaks of the evidence to the general public, there is no guarantee that an indictment will occur, if the jury does not see evidence that will lead to an indictment!

Key eye-witnesses that were present, and saw from different angles the shooting, have to this writer's knowledge, not been heard by the indictment jury! Selective presentation of evidence and the instructions to the jury were instrumental in the acquittal of George Zimmerman vs Florida in Trayvon Martin's death!
