A part of an indian for the protection of the black Community Something you ten discussed twice a month where here because we saw a need to educate the young people who are community on things that really matter and their lives with things occur in the save their lives or we see the police behind us we usually put place or seat belts on we look straight forward we know not to turn around to do them proper deliberately do pull you over try to be polite no matter what the situation or how you occurs whatever officers on duty how they feel and personally you just got to go off of this person hoping you can find a way out a situation a lot of people look at as a threat they think they were all violent or all criminals and things like that so just try to be respectful and carry yourself differently just so people on firstly will look at you different if you carry yourself to. The young people who listen carefully to the advice i terrified at the thought of meeting the police. I feel i do a bigger threat than the people around me now. Do you feel safe when you have to go to school so you know like because in the past so many people have been in jail for doing nothing when there are some police i suppose and i know i say so. You can see something happening this is like i dont want to call the cops well. Because well its a its a day where the fight is in the salt and something happens and a group of people are fighting i would rather fit in either i can see let that happen rather than call the cops and then those young black men lose their lives. If the trade it is because theyre constantly controlled without reason in the classroom to have. Has already been stopped just in districts baedeker its. To them by how many times. The way they were walking my frame was at that point there are three or four or five times. The rich reason those who just walk in. No walk home of friends. Family or see a lot of walking home alone on a clogged this. Familys house just on the disc on the stump and the reason. And the story goes on in or the neighborhood. Does for enough of those walking down the street. In my lifetime lets say maybe. Six or seven times so theres a whole lot of ill be all about police im not there like i get pulled over for you know what have i done wrong. I cant even tell you how many times have stopped and thats more than i can i can count but you mean it ten times and maybe. Ten eleven twelve i dont count i dont know i dont keep track believe in the us the police is allowed to stop any passes by if it suspects a risk or criminal threats according to the agents this practice is a way to prevent crime but from Professor James browns point of view it increases the risk of making huge blunders the idea was you want to increase the contact between the police and only certain public you know not everybody is mostly folks in high crime or poor urban communities any time you increase the contact between police and citizens. You are increased the likelihood that something can go. In two thousand and thirteen in pittsburgh half of the time these controls did not lead to any arrests and blacks who represent twenty six percent of the population were controlled in sixty two percent of cases like. This practice had its heyday in new york in two thousand and eleven where the Police Record and yet he choose thousand checks a day in one cases out of ten they were unjustified and as always those who are most targeted where the black people. In the figures are vocal but no policeman dares to admit it. Ive. Yet former officer has agreed to break the silence his assessment is alarming the hunt for black people in which he participated is part of a racist system that he condemns today. Bravely wastes lives out in the countryside far from philadelphia where he said for twenty three years. Now retired he insisted on putting on his uniform to reveal the openly racist practices of his former colleagues. The first thing he denounces is a quote server rests imposed on us police in many large cities this race for numbers pushes them to control black people for no reason quotas lito arrests for no reason. That isnt credibly. Discussed they would take a persons freedom away to meet a quota. Minorities have no one to call if theyre only arrested the white person will call their local Political Committee man a person theyll call the parents perhaps of a teenager will call the local politician you know whats going on here my child was arrested just because you can have his license why dont you just tell him to go home and get his license and things like so the white person has more power but people have no connection to the people in power so you know theres not going to be any. Blowback on arresting a minority because they dont have any power to complain and after americans an attorney unjustly arrested theyre not cheated with the same respect as the white people of iran because nobody else around again if you stop somebody from going through like it was a out of your car out of your car show me id you would say that to a white person you would go up and say. May i see your drivers license please and blacks know that blacks know when you look so out of your car now and then they say well what did i do it dont what did i do dont say that dont ask me why im stopping you i said get out of the car and thats right there you forced disrespect and i saw that happening and blacks know whats happening they know its not happening to white people so automatically they start resenting the police just from Little Things command verbal commands let alone the physicality of grabbing somebody and putting them in handcuffs while you check their id and unfortunately when i. Would tell other officers well thats enough is enough then they would think a what are you. An end for the word what are you an and lover and and for. In front of a camera that used between policeman is unpronounceable for a race since here a child he campaigns openly against the racist behavior of the police the former officer has even made a very explicit. Los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an Alarming Number of People Living in the streets. The simple fact in l. A. Is theres just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in theres nowhere to come in and its been a struggle. To get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. You know having Something Like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution time you house on a city parking space is not a solution youre her to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. A place for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the beach with a funnel school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending city to twenty million fly a. Book its an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy but great so what chance with. The thinks its going to. How does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world its as close to being a king as any job there is one Business Model helps to run a prison now we just do or dont like is there nobody. Visitation i dont know one comes in you know we dont have to sergeant anymore is Cost Effective thats what they want to do that you know and they dont give a damn if you need to charge or not theyre actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u. S. N. Breach what she could is behind such success. The next. Thing and. Did not go there. Was. The law ah ah ah. Yeah her. Im asking police and open season stop shooting black man just like theyre some kind of animal they wouldnt do to me that white now why they have they devalue the black man the black man is well lets put it this way in driving down a street in philadelphia on a hot friday night in august i was with a partner and of course hot august night in philadelphia its a lot of people dont have air conditioning in and theyre outside so theres a lot of people outside on the steps in the street and if were writing down my partners as well the roaches are out tonight the what roaches cockroaches their little. Bugs to crawl into floor theyre always like that i can garbage and its a very derogatory term roach the roaches are out tonight so if you view. People as a roach as an insect an undesirable very undesirable insect. Youre going to be able to shoot them much easier than you would a person that you value hire a white person or a speck of them at the time maybe was did not know how to respond to the violence against the black people and he even got carried away by it that was. Something that i became hard and somewhat so that i was not an angel. I use an excess of force and i. Slap somebody when he said something really insulting to me and after i did that i realized wow i should that i had no right to do that that was not professional it was it was not i was not professional was not human about a week later. Another incident occurred and i used more force than i needed after the guy was handcuffed i grab more pushed him up against the wall and i said dont you dare say that they are going to understand and i realize this is a disease im starting to develop. What is saying really wish is not specific to philadelphia agents. In march this year the ministry of justice published an alarming report about the Ferguson Police more than one hundred pages show how the police violated the rights of black residents in the city. Of racism with the American Police has become such a big issue that a conscience awakening in some police stations has started we are in norwalk connecticut. Going back to school today in small unit growth for three days these twenty five offices well learn how to get rid of a racist pig judge this is this optional training is given by two former agents their mission is a challenge to make these officers understand that they too have to judge this is what were going to learn today is it a possibility that everyone in this room has biased as police in a biased manner and you dont even know that youve done it i can tell you the stories youll hear from me as i help police in a biased manner i know that now didnt realize that twenty or thirty years ago this lady trainer uses her test and experience as an example in role playing in the first simulation the suspect is a white woman. Officers are to be reporting party calls i reports theres a woman sitting on a bus stop across the street hes been robbed several times he thinks he may have gotten us to respond. With the two offices have to control her. Blow ups or tell you im well how are you good when suddenly. Remember that were going to have to come your husband your kids are just an accident over there you have to come here courtesy of her kids her kids in her husband were in your eyes all that i think written on your hat he was there like theyre bleeding not to come cuddle so ill under confusion the two Police Officers let her go without even searching had the next scenario if we were replayed this all right now are ok and shot down or this time the trainer chooses a black suspect what would happen automatically bronzer to grow theyre going to stop him why this is a more likely you know that hes a person thats going to have a gun and so theyre not like me and i let him go. And talk about their perception and what they see is that so they dont then i dont let him go given that wanted to be we give to our selves even black officers get it the white woman had the weapon but the Police Arrested the unarmed black person more the lesson that the police whatever happens you know tend to see black people as criminals but it is not easy for them to admit that they have races prejudge this is. A lot of them certainly going to tell you that i do involve you know not that i havent really thought about it you know or now so i dont know that i. Was accurate. Answer that question but you know maybe three days ago do you think thats after this training you are going to same suit the way that you all work to know that because. I want to. Change the way im working with you know part of the i will be more self will use training is designed to teach teach to teach us the rest of the Police Officers unlikely farmer to. Your fair or impartial. Jury where we already are fair and impartial achieved before fair or the head of this Department Office this training after the numerous cases of Police Violence throughout the country while this is not what this shows our community that were doing everything we can to make sure were policing in a fair manner is going to make our job easier were going to trust us more and Everybody Wins so its really its a win win the only point on which this manager loses is the price sixteen thousand dollars it is one of the most expensive optional courses the only case in which it is financed by the ministry of justice is when recent blunders were committed few agencies have been trained so far but since ferguson demand is soaring im going to allentown the end of the year and was trying to book into twenty fifteen this is my schedule so far. The n. Y. P. D. Has asked for the training its expected in pittsburgh this year. But is this a solution. Just a very visceral disarm. The city of baltimore started training its Police Officers against racial prejudice last year despite that a young afroamerican died in april this year players or demonstrations for the protection of black people in the riots that shake the city images that suddenly reminds america if its past. The past that continues to haunt the country. In the southeast of the United States three hours from Atlanta America has a meeting with its own history on this form a land of slavery blacks did not have the same rights as whites. Fifty years ago the police were beating up blacks here. Fifty years ago young africanamericans would not have had the right to walk on this bridge. The march that changed the destiny of the black community is coming very to today the fight for black freedom to fight against racism to the right to vote like white people that. Little bad boy all right all right first of all. On sunday march seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty five on a bridge in selma six hundred African Americans demonstrated peacefully to demand their right to vote. The state governor ordered the police to charge the activists. Over fifty people were taken to hospital. The event became a symbol. Here fifty years later the president the protesters are waiting for is black history acknowledgement has witnessed. In his speech barack obama makes an analogy between the come immigration and the recent events in the country. He admits that there is still a lot to be done. Of course the more common mistake is to suggest that ferguson is a isolated incident. That racism is better. Than the work that drew men and women to selma is now complete. We dont need the ferguson report to know thats not true. Why does need to open our minds and our ears and our hearts to know that this nations racial history is still cassis long shadow upon us. On the bridge in selma many share the same feeling many still have the impression of living in a racist country. Black people are popular anywhere not in america not in france on any ice this is a little different because we were former slaves so that mentality is still there even though were not currently slaves we can still be viewed as slaves sometimes. And this white has a slogan black people i count three hes the last words of every gonna strangled by the n. Y. P. D. My god. Why did you well this shot today because we cant breathe either way because for black. Berry gone his mother was also they. Have. Had to get up here to see to write a business and are right. This is a commemoration not a celebration and now we have to go forward with this we shouldnt stop until everybody gets justice you know justice in this city justice in every city you know because what happened on this bridge is similar to what happened to my son you know they had no because for our wives and. And we didnt get justice yet but were still pushing on we want to show and just like were pushing on here weve got the story. Erick on his mother will continue to fight in order to sentence the policeman who killed her son it will not be easy to hand and for all those in selma today walking on this bridge is a way to continue the fight for justice and equality the fight that is unfortunate. Necessary. The long litany of blunders and police abuse proves it the United States has still very far from having solved the issue with racism. Where is that country called russia no ones ever known one has ever heard of a country never even heard about most school. But. Little. Snow worm god im. Stupid to eddie and. He spoke one month. Into. The song in the fall. I had a great education a good job. In a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat and where i would sleep. Im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. Oh you look spirit. I thought locally like going to school you know just not in the still give up food for the homeless. You dont really feel like you have the big you know. And then. The guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion United States dollars passed through most of conseco in the amount of time that weve been in Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows a lot of money it really is. Journalism its a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of most from documents were examined. The only people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. And probably other politician which were attacking other police and the media were quick to find targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. Oh my god ive had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no one american single special a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. Of the panama chronicles. We have. Doctors here who never thought about it but we took care until after year ago they thought the relatives would hate them and relatives loved them and it just so absolutely inspiring to hear something at telephone call or a person coming actually i just had a man in my room most at the same. Right says my wife has just died thank you. All to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so its at the back. In one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and im hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the aussie team. Recently ive had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that Peter Schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him and that stories are as three. Thousand zero zero zero zero you didnt hear i called russian. Strife. Left left left more or less ok stuff thats really good that.
