Perhaps the topic should write A Death in Ferguson which
like the verdict occur every day, but something strange and sinister is out of
joint and authors reflect on the verdict. If we conjure the images of Alistair
Cook and his 'letters from America', perhaps A Death in Ferguson meets the
second meaning, a valid opinion unrestrained by reasons and therefore wholesale
argument. But this is not the case....Although the economic cost of human life
is the theme of the second era of civil right laws and human rights, it is deficient
in the terms of a James Coleman, or a Gary Becker in analyzing its toll on the
families. Perhaps a Roase, perhaps a Hechman, et al Vilner, in normative importance
of preventive force which is important, perhaps a Posner in second meaning and
second era of law, the economic significance of human factor may even supersede
the moral factor altogether lower and generally inexplicable. Its consideration
in Ferguson Verdict may be an over-stated beginning, perhaps of a third era in 5th
Amendment and Civil law, the pure theory of economic consequence in the scalar
pyramid of moral reasons which differ from a case by case basis of similar
Ferguson Verdict - hence a ‘rule of reason’ - to economic and monetary factor.

The shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson
divided Ferguson in Missouri over the alleged behavior of the officer and
officers towards African Americans and Hispanic communities. The verdict
reached by the inquest and grand jury on November 24th 2014 to clear officer of
any wrong doing is not so much a surprise for many people as it is what some
people consider an addition to the plea for Amendment regarding police immunity
and the invocation of the 5th Amendment, which in terms like this
may revert to inception of immunity from prosecution. Since there are
testimonies given by either side and especially the respondent and defendant
Darren Wilson, it meets that care may have been taken in narrowing down the
material cases of perjury so persistent in wrong cases of police activity or
assault, since from all intent of the Adversarial 5th Amendment, the police in
this case would be satisfied to have presented the evidences to both parties
before making it to court, all of which should would be introduced in the Court
without additional material, it may be that the police had demonstrable
privileges of presenting the verbal and written testimonies and evidences that
the adversary party or to the people of the State should be part of a hearing
migrate to that level via public hearing and prosecution in limie of defense
manufacturing evidence versus the prosecutors, pursuant of the Brady versus Maryland.
Jim Salter and David A. Lieb, Associated Press (25th of
Nov.26, 2014) filing on Ferguson, described that “Attorney Benjamin Crump said
at a news conference Tuesday that he and the rest of the Brown family's legal
team objected to St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's decision to call a
grand jury and to not appoint a special prosecutor.” That according to Benjamin
Crump "We could see what the outcome was going to be, and that is what
occurred last night," Crump said. That ‘McCulloch said the jury of nine
whites and three blacks met on 25 separate days over three months, hearing more
than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical
examiners and experts on blood, toxicology and firearms.’ Since the proceeds
from the Court suggest that the officer testified during the hearing demonstrated
what happened and why, the circumstances resulting in the dismissal of the
charges may be said to have travelled the route of prescribed circumstances
surrounding the ‘scope of the officer’s duty’. According to Salter and Lieb,
‘Wilson's lawyers issued a statement praising the decision and saying the
officer, who has remained out of the public eye since the shooting, is grateful
to his supporters.’ That the "Law enforcement personnel must frequently
make split-second and difficult decisions," the lawyers wrote. "Officer
Wilson followed his training and followed the law." Well said in kindly
light of the premise of a case that ended in their favor.
Notionally speaking, the ‘scope of officer’s duty’ is
comprised of the purpose of their assignment on that day, (1) use of verbal
communications which is primary recourse to other stepwise applications of
process for instance the vocal commands of ‘freeze’ ‘hold your hands up’, (2)
the use of hand gestures which the police usually demonstrates including asking
the suspect to remove his or her hands from the pockets, or raise it up when it
can be seen, and most of the time, suspects usually comply. Most trying moments
occur at this point and when either the police or the city takes action, their
action is marginal in their conception of the circumstance and the outcomes
very serious. Most people stand to be hurt in the course of this process and
most police gradually their hand in the process and application of force
becomes a constant. The next level (3) is matter of sequences, whether or not
the police office met all these range of activity leading to final commands and
use of force – usually a chemical; repellent gun, tear gas, and/or a Mace
depending on the age and veracity of the object, especially his or her
vulnerability in square circumstances of mass demonstration. If all of these
steps are met towards pulling of a gun then there are problems between the
officer and the victim all these cannot be exhausted that easily during a
process involving any trained officer and may require a specialty prosecutor to
remove the intension of the police from the decision to actually go beyond
extreme force to deadly and termination force.
Other factors play forward on the nature of the incident and
to some degree the persons on interest who tune their attention to new
facilities of the murder of a 12 year old in Cleveland who held his hands up as
the autopsy shows. There is power and absolute power in robbing people of their
right especially under these circumstances and this power if exercised with
Machiavelli is not without the intent at achieving extra inches of manhood. It
is a matter of reason and people shouldn’t try to understand.
A Michael Brown case of such meaning or suspicion of
burglary to accede the fecundity of the police, the grand jury is left with a
different bargain, which is mainly delivered by the Brady Materials, tied perhaps to the office and so be it, that the
meaning of the Brady vs Maryland
eliminates the diabolic interference from the social media and the public, that
in structure of errors which by the nature of our society is erroneous in
construction, that the ex-cathedra of
specie literature merits a second page in the construction of persecution since
the error which is definitive of
faults is demonstrative therefore equal an outcome perhaps at the court. The
destructive errors in this case is between two polar ends of the interpretation
of the law, one may reprehend the victim on his actions following a lengthy
discovery process, and the other which is the ex-cathedra or the bull of
Scopus is depended on whether Darren Wilson was to face trials in the first
place and who proclaims the law for
the Court. The process of determinative error which are erroneous in its
application may proceed from first hand testimonies to the general aim of the
process which is the purpose of the police action and presence, that
explicating these processes may be expected to reveal elements of construction
hence in deciding culpability of officer Darren Wilson ‘who pulled the trigger’
the original intent of the police is a premised dissent.
But a terminus after 70 hours and 25 days of hearing, nine
jury members including 6 whites and 3 blacks, including medical consideration abrogate
such an Amicus from even the highest office, perhaps why Washington did not
bother to intervene until full exercises of due process, and in some
circumstances, perhaps the cursory dismissal will be based on the history of
Ferguson Police, where the cases carry equal weight on how Ferguson Police
normally deals with minorities and in this case African Americans. We can argue
that this instance refers to the records of Michael Brown is a controlling
influence in the outcome of the hearing and should be fully investigated. This
record can be placed in the discovery precinct as those of Darren Wilson and
Missouri police. Have these Police acted in recent past with caution in such a
time as these, or is Missouri littered with bipolar actions explicated in the
main by the final actions of the police office? What execution of process would
make a teenager call a police a ‘pussy’ under the merest of circumstances, and
do these officers suffer the lack of public thrust which the States with Police
brutality has shown in the past?
Michael Brown’s murder in Ferguson and the verdict, It is no
longer a simple case of customary dismissal of an officer under scrutiny than
the example set in motion by the verdicts which from Police Shooting incidents
in recent times and the use of 5th Amendment suggest a new interpretation of
the process. In Cleveland protesters held out her posters surmounting these
names; Tamir Rice (the 12 year old), Tanisha Anderson, Melisk Williams, Timothy
Russell, Kendrick Brown, Daniel Fickler, Michael Brown*, Eric Garner, Akai
Gurley, Rekia Boyd, allegedly killed by Police is fencing for a new look at
arraignment of those who carry out the law with guns in their waist, at least
the comparison that Police officers murdered by Civilians are not nearly the
same, does not in the light of recent incident and riots also mean that
Civilians are not capable of fighting back. But these enumerated dead may or
may not be tainted with blood themselves or with crimes of precedence. It may
also seem that some of the deaths were perhaps the victims fault; some perhaps
reacted to the officer and were caught in line of fire. But these are obvious
incarnations of police protection and creed.
With the advent of Boko Haram in Nigeria and the strategic
assault on Police and military, the comparison to the conditions in the states
is not exactly different, for if as they say that men such Huey Newton, Michael
Stokes, Sealy B, faced off with the police, their public enemy status would
have ended their existence on the first day were it not a decline in public
trust resulting from the abuse of police force. Times have really changed and
these Police officers are better educated to handle any cases, for instance,
the case of mainly White Police officers of Missouri and Ferguson is not
material to Baltimore Police department that is both black and white, some of
which still engage in some crimes and another.
Here, if the autopsy is pointing out that this victim,
Michael Brown, was probably raising his hands at the time of the shooting, the
encore will fall differently on how a Police Officer would be so incised by the
behavior of the person involved to return a gun shoot for what he described a
punch. That punch or a blow did not travel from the round one of the actions of
verbal instructions to detriment force if it was driven by something else. The hammer of Jurisprudence will prevail for
a level 2 of a pre-trail and perhaps more than Day 2, but if there was no
contemnor’s argument citing the probity of evidence and rule of evidence in the
execution of process, then the prosecution would have failed on day 1 and the
rest a question of persuasion and performance. The Performance rated
prosecution may be pushing it too far, for by law, the Prosecution under the
canopy of the people should be exercised with necessary pretext of law,
persecution reaching more than permissible is explicit of personal interest. In
this case, there is a possibility that a case should yield amenity to
impersonal evaluation of the incident urging an indictment based on precedent.
As a matter, some of the assumptions in the case do not merit a long
consideration; either does not transfer the indictments or charges from
Personal trespassing of the law to municipality.
Of course the municipalities that hired Ferguson as officer
offered him redemption clause within the law, torching the Federal guarantee of
equal treatment before the law which includes his, and the estimable inquiries
into the cause of the actions which usually resolve around a commission.
It will not be a first, second, third, and fourth time that
such commissions are formed, for instance, the Rodney King Incident in Los
Angeles threw the light into the badly managed cults of execution in the Los
Angeles Police. The rise of protest minsters of civil rights such as Rev
Sharpton and the involvement of Johnnie Cochran helped to redeem some of the
losses for their families, but the crime is committed already and the investigation
into the LAPD was secondary to the appointed agents of change such as Chief
Daryl Gates appointed by Michael Bostic who was the then Mayor of Los Angeles,
who some argue was not exactly a saint. But the long arms of justice do not
always fall elegantly on the course of rights in pursuant of justice, but in
the years that led to rise of Black Liberation Army and the Panthers, and the
death of two officers of the law who were also marine expeditionary; Gregory
Foster and Laurie Rocco, explains the sensitive package in administration of
law and enforcement of City ordinances which require local knowledge and the
temperance of integrity.
Integration which Rudy Giuliani claimed to have initiated in
New York will become a different matter. These commission usually make their
case clear but the legislative intent like this very one affecting a young
Michael Brown and officer Darren Wilson, is not different from Rodney King in
California, or differently from Amaduo Diallo or many African Americans who were
gunned down by Police officers with as many 51 bullets of continues shooting in
one instant all under Rudy Giuliani. All these gradually came to an end with
the appointment of Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Keller with
reserved credit to Giuliani making the argument that Mayors and municipal
authorities play a serious hand in the evolution of a city’s disquiet, harangue
and perhaps excessive application of law in a City and in the Country.
Am opposed to Giuliani 100% in terms of his recent interview
regarding the incidents in Ferguson, since his administration characterized by
White Cops and the death of African Americans in any circumstance can viewed
without precedence given the history of Cops in America and in New York. These
arguments shift the Vermeer Caliper in official police actions and duties to
the criminality of a precinct, from individual such as Darren Wilson to the
envelop theory of general and social republic of this group versus that group
and the historical reenactment.
Am opposed to Giuliani statement and interview since a
statement given the crying and weeping during 9/11 which I for one saw with a
live witness, majority of the noise makers and those who flaunted the
over-turned verdicts on many shooting incidents in New York, did not change
their opinion and their support for Rudy Giuliani but forced to confront terror
on a different sort during 9/11, with many of them visible disoriented with
many of these whites actually tearing their hairs out and it was difficult to
see some of them shed tears which you wouldn’t believe was there. It was easy panic which some hard living from
the past made possible and why Blacks dealing with Black or others in violent
situations, especially with Whites (most young) in Uniform, should use
instincts for corporation. The Mayor of New York came late during the melee of
crashing cement during 9/11 and it was impossible to him to have managed to
hold his tears based on what he saw.
The History of Cops or the origins of the words Cop in New
York and used elsewhere started with similar conflict between the Irish and
Scottish immigrants who lived mostly in five point districts and others from
Britain and from New York over who owns who, what and why (Gangs of New York)?
But the real story behind these conflicts was a problem of migration to areas
already struggling. New York Police
refused assimilation of these Italian, Irish and Scottish new comers who called
half breed Europe or White Niggers. They were constantly harassed by Police, shot
when they it called for it, and were generally the object of militant police
work with underlying influences. Whereas African-Americans were given
arms-length treatment in New York affairs and elsewhere, they wielded more
power than now, and historically they demanded the integration of the New York
police. When the municipality refused they sided these Irish and Scottish and
immigrant others from Russian and Poland who are perhaps ancestors of Darren
Wilson and began to harbor police ‘most wanted’ whose crimes included attack on
the police with police copper as souvenir to show for it. Sometime the police
was arrested and disgraced by having all his cloths removed and a big helmet
placed on his head and asked to run. It reached a point that the police chief
decided to enlist these ethnic whites as they were first called to in dealing
with their own kinds. They were also given a small compulsory quotient of
Sanitation department which the paraded made popular.
It didn’t take long before this new grade of Americans
became dominant in the force and since then managed New York City Police.
According to legends, one of the demands made on these new recruits was
orchestrating a subduction of blacks or niggers as they were called who the
police were having direct problems with. It was however a means and a way of
gaining Irish and Scottish loyalty and others and after a few decades in police
force and under the collar of the State, they forgot these daggers that ended
their terror and disgrace. These half- bred opinions in gumption of Giuliani
statement of integration merits an envelope inquiry, are actually less probing
in their dealing with Blacks, and when poorly educated in public opulence can
take actions based on these preconceived notions about their expectations in
the Police. It was Bloomberg who ended all that nonsense Police assault, murder
and persecution, including the reign of organized crime that controlled a
sizeable percentage of New York City and although he hurt the City's pocket,
these incidents in Ferguson happen when the Mobs have a stake in any police. It
will be wise to put the legal process under suspicion and oppressive for right
reasons to compare and contrast the difficult roles played by Irish Pubs
(republic) and Scotland Yard in New York or elsewhere. Even when Italians in New York were labelled
criminals by nature, it was these Black and African Americans that opposed that
view.
Using an analogy to the Ferguson verdict and based on the
account of Herbert Beigel and Allan Beigel (1977) of Chicago corruption
investigation, the State effectively combated organized crime through
initiation of several processes, which required that a respondent officer was
‘not granted immunity’ ‘nor required dismissal of the indictment against him.’,
the process was not to be yes and no and admissibility of clearance but on
standing testimonial over a period of probationary hearing. The persecutor was
armed with a different tool since the officer was let not ‘off hook’ on hand, a
case on such significance. According to Beigel and Beigel “When an officer goes
into court the slightest twist of his testimony can make or break a case. How
he reacts to a frightened suspect fleeing from the scene of crime can mean the
difference between that person’s life or death. How he handles those situations
which he confronts daily, but which never result in formal action, will dictate
how he views the public and how the public sees him.” “That the idea of
exercising unfettered discretion and power, he often does as he sees fit and
feels little need to ponder the consequences of what he has done. The
temptation to be corrupted by one’s own feeling of power is hardly an
unexpected consequence.”
Having indicated this process as more ridden to fault,
opulence in general condition from the police and the blacks themselves is the
highest decorum as they say spirit of decorum. For all the changes that has
taken place in New York police, neighborhood gangs and neighborhood committee
migrate into the Police force and force when not checkered may be used by
either side of the racial divide – in or out of police office – with the public
pointing to superficial points such as minority, racial inclination or
declination, class, etc.,. Obvious vices of such cases is based on deeply rooted
conception of whose the other group is, for instance, anyone familiar ganja
moves, needs not to wait for the suspect to move a second fiddle for him or her
to take actions, or anyone soliciting for drugs try new invention on an already
known street codes for illegal drugs, and some of the ‘drugs companies’ are
refereed by the Police and when there are trespasses they act in the names of
law enforcement.
Put it kindly, too much time in the field usually avail on
the police officer with all form decibel infidelity with law and here as they
are sometimes wrong, there are degrees of opinion and puncturing of humus
conscience which a granulation of these experiences usually discover a police
officer prejudicial and sometimes acutely prejudicial to several and artificial
moves on the street. To the bystander and to the general public, these deaths
may be circumstantial, may be viewed from left and right of personal
persuasion, may land to speculation that the police under these circumstances
should acted differently, but the difference is that most police officers spent
majority of the time observing, can put an end to any drug diseased environment
and those who know it may persuade to score with their creativity on the larger
canvass that may or may have be innocent.
Michael Brown was not murdered in the City of New York,
though the sympathies are felt very severely or Darren Wilson said to have been
born or raised in New York. Therefore, this must be acting out the fantasies of
some sort manicured and restrained under the garb of arms or color of state,
that the denial of any wrongs was well practiced will point to the possibility
that they were ingredient in the exercise of law. The Mollen Commission studied
police corruption in New York and showed similar cases where the Police
testified that from their training, they were asked to generally break
assailant if necessary in the process of setting example. That there are
different ways of dealing with different races, for instance the Black has a
record of being spontaneous and may be the first of the general public to pull
a gun – assuming they have one.
As such a quick reaction from the Police was a gap between
life and death. Of course the generality of the Mollen Commission premised the
Giuliani as mayor, and many of the commentaries did not agree with the
commission and others mentioned that if it was a matter between their son’s
life and the suspect, he is should protect him or herself, which usually means,
execute if necessary. But many of the cases involving the dastardly beating of
Amaduo Diallo and many other African Americans who were shot by mainly officers
recruited into New York from a different state, argued by Muslims to have a
been a strategy of ensuring such divisive approach leading to instances like
Michael Brown.
Most police officers from Brooklyn and those who grow up in
their section Brooklyn and were asked to work in these district, are less
likely to commit such crimes in their own districts but from Police Academy you
are likely to learn that this process is not exactly appreciated since it
encourages the solemnity of Street and Police work in familiar environment.
Naturally, the Michael Brown’s case creates an international
sensation and from the incidents and reactions from Republicans regarding
Obama’s Amnesty in recent times, the paucity of facts and information regarding
the plans of the Republicans may receive additional light given the silence of
the majority leader and several key Republican leaders at this point. They don’t
need to say anything either. However, the riot which has seen some damages take
place and the looting and arrests Missouri and Cleveland were not unexpected.
Look at it from a standpoint of a man or woman who is looking to be arrested
and who is determined to die than in silence than share any testimony about his
actions in a police led investigation.
Such a person may be willing to endure all kinds of persecution
and suffering but in the end, the ‘deed is done’ and the ‘consequences’ as they
say is ‘damned’ from the beginning. It is no concern that such actions take
place, or there any such police agenda to deal and torture blacks or
minorities, the outcome may have due to new realities of population growth and
control, of African Americans and Hispanics who may or may not have acted in
manners evocative of civil disturbances or as Giuliani once said, several cases
of outright murder – up to 93% of the black who are murdered are murdered by
other blacks.
For officers who see this every day, it leaders the
possibility that may have developed a sense of agitation towards a certain
group, which may be outside their training, for all officers since St. Clair
Commission, the Metcalfe Commission in Chicago and in the investigations made
by Beige brothers in 1997 concerning the actions of the State of Illinois and
the City of Chicago in dealing with corruption allegation of the 18th District
in Austin District, that once the State took an active interest through its
Strike Force in dealing murderous aliases in the Chicago Police it was a
question that the Webs gradually grew thing on what wrong. One of those
involved in Metcalfe Commission was a man by name John Burris. According to his
one of his books, he mentioned several cases of Police Commission such as the
Philadelphia and also that of St. Clair where similar initiative was made on
behalf of the general public following problems of police mortality.
As we can see from the list, they do not contain Ferguson or
any other Cities such as Florida in the case of George Zimmerman. It shows that
the new found rife was perhaps not always the case, meaning that this actions
were in fact recent and the development very recent. The near guarantee of
protection by those in the corridor of Justice is both good and bad, especially
in extreme cases of this nature, may be considered bad and detrimental, for
sure, no law exist that easily convicts anyone in color of state and most
Americans will not be happy to even see a least active police or military
jailed, saving for extreme cases as this. What was this Michael Brown crime?
There is no reason that can expire on the morality of a gunshot. But this is a judgment call and valid
judgment not necessary in this case.
Put it clearly, there are reasons why any African American
will pick up a gun in name of Police officer and following a squeamish
physicality with an unarmed European American youngster and ends up shooting
him or her. The street will bleed red with angst and believe or not, similar
such incident by an African American under the color of state or whatever color
they choose ends shooting another European American teenager of about 12 years
old, the country will descend on these Police officers, at least, will no
longer see these people are Police officers rather as Criminals breaking public
confidence and hiding under the shadow of the office.
In 1998, there was an Amnesty International who performed an
Amicus on the what Police actions on the large swaps of its 14 major Cities;
Atlanta, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Minnesota, Boston, Los Angeles, New
Orleans, Philadelphia, Portland, Providence, San Francisco, and Washington D.C,
where reports showed that “Police officers engaged in unjustified shootings,
severe beatings, fatal chokings, and unnecessarily rough physical treatment in
Cities across the United States.” That “their police superiors, city officials,
and the justice department fail to act decisively to restrain or penalize such
acts or even record the magnitude of the problems.” They further suggested that
majority of Police arrest and brutality were consigned to one group of
Americans, further probing that Police in some of these circumstances actually
initiated the situations and they discovered to the alarming of the public that
Police were let go from so many assault cases as if there was a culture and
habit which essentially grew out of it.
Michael Brown and Tamir Rice incident is reflective of a new
ideologies which some may have sensed in today’s America, that it is not
impossible to get away with murder which has been the case in our country, but
the law specifies the circumstances in
which any can make such argument, in one case, in a self-defense argument. With
the idea that a 5th Amendment for those in office gives us additional
protection and immunity from prosecution set the banter between the people who
are perceived as the enemy and need to be disciplined (and yes many of them do)
and the rest of us who see existence with comparative limelight of the other world
who in Ralph Ellison’s words are the ‘invisible’ other. Many whites cannot
pretend that they are not happy with the outcomes in Missouri; it is a show of
power that is sourly needed given new challenges from Asia. Herewith and from
experience we are articles of history that historical inquiry is not a law but
of a fact that people’s minds tend to change when there is a presence of guns. Mo
Zedong adage that ‘with the barrel comes power’ is fitting for those in power,
enforcers of the law with ‘license to kill’.
Put it clearly, we cannot continue the culture of
humiliation through the use of force and have a bunch of sexually deviant
Courtesans tell us stories about clear and convincing cases of unusual use of
force. In very lettered sense of the very purpose of the Police which is to
protect and serve, it comes with some guarantee of power and exercise of
discretion and judgment, and for that reasons, taxpayers are participants in
the long and tedious contractual agreement between the Police department and
the States or Municipality. Gone are not exactly those days when some puts you
down and gets a high water mark on who is charge here. Some of these things are
still evident today, and in many ways than, we can even say that at no point in
the last thirty sometime years of America has African Americans groped under
the forays of other people’s authority.
Believe it or drop it, the conditions of US Blacks in 2014 –
especially African American male – is worse than it ever was. At no point in
the history of the United States are blacks that subtle and persuaded to follow
the law than today. At no point in the history of United States have African
American been a social lite for many colored types including whites than now,
to the point that many new welcome marriages between the Americans include
Whites and others in the African American families, vice versa. It is all good
to equally argue that in the United States recent interest in African American
studies has waned and their identity forged into different streams of academic thoughts.
It means that no probably reasons exist for actions of any type to militate
against Blacks in any part of the Country.
If not for the sacrifice that their compromising with others
has caused them; loss of business to minorities who do not recognize their
mutual past or future, loss of political power in areas that are traditionally
blacks and Indians which now speak a version of second language, especially at
the lower houses where the penetration is taking place, drugs have smashed
every black neighborhoods in US and some of them with hints of other languages
do not identify with others. It looks therefore that the many few deaths that
now occur in the age of internet, occupy because these Blacks are not dangerous
or hateful, or slothful of authority or as the case would be hard as before,
that these gentrification of the post-black or what they call RIP Black may now
easily yield a case of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, etc.
There is something peculiarly wrong with these behavioral
tendencies which only half the traveled experience of this author will assure
you on how African Americans are viewed from all over the world. These
incidents involving free will ending of live and do nothing judicial process
reflects so well on America that opinions are already entrenched before even
the loathed immigrants from Europe, South America, Asia (probably the worst
saving Hong Kong and Indonesia), and to some degree Africa make it here. That
their actions towards Black and the perceived trespassing of their rights and
hence reactionaries to these others is riddled with decision that has little or
nothing to offer the situation. These entrenched views pay out differently when
they arrive here at a younger age and perhaps have a similar education and
perhaps work in some area where they chase their responses together or apart.
For instance, Nigerian doctors and Indian Medical Doctors
work in State and National hospitals do not readily get along but appreciate
the dedication. In it is from here that understanding and accepting them
becomes possible. I don’t think that cases would easily arise when either of
these people will pick up a gun in a hospital looking for strong characters and
shoot the other, even if there are cases of conflicts and fight. Put it this
way, the reasons why a Police officer will readily pull his or her gun is that
he sees the object in front of him or her or the human in front of the police
officer as an outsider, this, includes African Americans in the Police
department or women dealing with other women. We point out therefore that
facility training of officers or Facility Training Officers associated with new
and recruits should receive additional
emphasis, that the idea of law and order does not mean you have do some body
someday, that better police officers are those who wouldn’t need to fire a single shoot throughout their
careers.
There are many such cases. In other instance, long before
physical contacts are made between Police and victims or suspect usually a
process of CPR (Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect) is exhausted clearing the way for control of
public or CAO (Chief Aim of the Office/r) through demonstrable show of force
only when respect is in doubt. The Police has ‘license to kill’ full stop, that
is, no other group can domestically engage or evolve from such circumstances
than the local police. Does not mean that its Chief Aim is it to kill, it is
only a sickness which the tender and prickly early years in service usually
inspire. For instance, a Child could as someone argued become and remain
obedient to the authorities until he or she has a chance to exert his or her militancy.
He or she is often obedient by default. When anyone has a gun or messes with
his or her gun, it lauds the temptation to shoot the gun and ameliorates the
tendency to fire it and see how people really die.
Best example is F.B.I files that show privates taking
pleasure in shooting a horse and watching it die. It’s everywhere and partly a
despairingly human side. Most older Police officers very rarely kill in line of
duty, most African Americans on the hand hardly pull their guns while sampling
opinion or interrogating a seesaw through a neighborhood. But drugs are
different stories and in such cases, there are hardly any instances of
investigation when there is location. In simple terms, the more exposed anyone
in force is to the problems of the society, the greater he or she emphasis
safety and precaution, the greater their chances of escaping the murder
situation. In comradely of a point raised by Rudy Giuliani on integration of
the force, this is perhaps a process, perhaps a beginning process which does
not begin and end with racial separation or fantasies of making headlines over
a murder perpetrated by obscure and delinquent officers.
For all we know about say a City of New York itself still
weaning from police officer such as Michael Palermo who served both organized
Crimes and the City, made over 2, 000 arrest but was linked to many informed
murders in the City in spite of his work, do not shy from Kenneth Wilson of New
Jersey whose testimony of what was happening in New jersey - and may still be happening
- armed the City with enough tools to investigate and determine the reasons for
unusual actions by Police. The FTO as they call it, of Facility Training
operation (process) has been the subject of intense drudging between ministers
of later saints such as Rev Al Sharpton, the inquest manufactured by Rudy
Giuliani who was mayor of New York in much of the 90’s, and the Civil Complain
Review which were inveighed by the he State and the by the Federal government
when investigations died a sudden death when Police assault is mentioned.
Sometime, these organizations have no money to conduct private investigations,
sometimes, they are held against their private wishes and independent fronting
by Police Unions who are usually very powerful in Court and legal negotiation.
The failure factor in this case involving a so-called unarmed (they usually
are) teenager, is whether or not the Court considered the testimony by the
Police and from the Police sufficient enough to do away with the death.
Solutions and
recommendations
Ferguson and Missouri shouldn’t expect Obama or Federal
troops to do what they shouldn't do. Personally African-Americans should do
better by helping their society and their community understands positive value
which is the only way you can overcome things like this. The history of US is
replete of these things mainly on how people understand each other, even Louis
Gates Jr., can testify to it, that sometimes people just don't just get it.
There is no point in narrating that this sort of thing kept happening in the
City of New York until 9/11 when I for one saw people (White people) cry 'they gonna kill us’ ‘they gonna kill us’ and was close in
telling these people to shut the hell up as if a police on ground zero, and
with Michael Bloomberg came the changes which came with the injury these people
directly suffered.
This is not a race thing; it is just a question of
perception especially when it involves in-betweens. We have to say these things
in reaction to what Winston Churchill saw in Germany following his visit and
warned the world of what was happening, that the case may relate to Ferguson
but what some of us have seen in some American Cities meets with urgency of how
Americans perceive of each other.
(1)
What these Black people should do is work
together and builds their own businesses up. The burning of small business
administration is not necessary in terms like this and the use of violence is
not very important. Based of civil strife and struggle in several parts of
world and Africa, a murder of this type requires direct resolution and change.
A change at the police department in Missouri and Wisconsin of a sizeable
percentage up to 30% integration of Police and State troopers with minorities
especially African Americans. If 25% percent of the Ferguson force is made of
Blacks and African Americans, they will meet some of the necessary demands of
the shouting crowd.
(2)
The State of Missouri and the City of Ferguson should
sample opinion – my favorite - of the
demonstration, especially in key areas of the society and list what needs to be
done and what can be done. These sampling of opinion made include sensitive
areas of the State public health and resources, usually one of the best sources
of the

The recommendations made by BeigeI brothers
concerning the procedure for investigating police criminality should not be
based on subpoena to the police and his affidavit only which can negate the 5th
Amendment and grant the officer immunity of persecution. The question
prosecutors may be interested in is at what point does an officer ceases to be
a property of the State and the municipality and become by matter of law, a
private culpable of the just ramifications of the law and its process.

They also recommended what commissions have maintained
that police should not be let off “the hook” just after the hearing that they
should go through a reasonable process of probationary hearing where question
are asked and reviewed over a reasonable period of time.
(5)
*It is a formal recommendation that a
documentary showing Africa-American history in Ferguson or Missouri, new lines
of Television Channels for these old and young blacks in American Cities and
suburbs following after the examples of Henry Louis Gates Jr., who is too
conservative but may be appropriate model for African American audience, that
there is no fight against anybody, race or culture, law needs be respected,
both in color of the State or out in the street, yet there is a lesson to be
earned.
(6)
Whereas the Police Department including Ferguson
performs all kinds of functions and training for its employees, the training
should involve routine public networking, routine police lecture around
Missouri with emphasis on what to do when a Police arrives at the scene. There
is reason why Houston Police may have their sour side, but mostly handle any
situation without bloodletting. Austin Police routinely conduct lecture and a
get to know your Police sessions with the Public, what to do in violent
conditions and how to respect and response to the police. These are mainly
conducted in sharp and large frame hotels in Austin, but Police Department in
extreme cases could do better with routine lectures in Welfare neighborhood,
affluence and downtrodden neighborhood and get together in strongly ghetto and
black neighborhoods.

State and City officials, especially elected
official can penetrate the work source of most areas, including the advising on
the power of guns, power of attorneys, and the police Chief Aim in a society
and their ‘license to kill’ if necessary.
(8)
Before constituting a Ferguson Commission and
State Inquiry into such incident independent of what happened at the Court and
what was decided, the outcomes of the Commission, recommendation of the
Commission should include the possibility of a discharge from office of the
Police Chief or additional promotion if shooting was at least justifiable. They
should also specify the role of the Police and limits of police use of force.
(9)
Civil Complain Board should follow connect the
fourth element of the State, the Media. Let the public know what the public
complains are, what can be done about it and why.
(10) Police Unions are not out of control, are
they?
Some of these actions with those in office or administrative
ruling are expressions of frustration, which are not easily visible but it’s
ridden to others. It is not possible recognize the existence of others unless
you are well of your past and their past and the future. In some common
history, there is what we may talk as pusillanimity, but largely from a
proposing view that alternate views can be viewed alternately. We need more
focus on African American education and history, more television authority – if
Obama will support it – for proper education of our people. Oprah in my view
doesn’t cut it, but she is a good example. Most blacks do not even have respect
for themselves let alone other people, and there is a tendency to suggest that
post-black is anti-black. I can assure you; this is not what is seeing, including
the recent outrages and rape charges on Bill Cosby. If he is not careful in
spite of his saintly and over-tried personality and hard endurance which is not
perfect, he will find himself in jail. Ray Rice is not of the hook yet, and
these other little incident involving someone who’s girlfriend a gun at and
police ended up jailing him is a matter of perception and we can help the
police by showing the way.
Lack of financial institution is the ‘root of all evils’ in
Black Communities. Black Caucus should understand that Obama and the Country
needs encouragement in looking into these things.
