Interesting.

 

This is not how people in the community of Ferguson are treated.

 

I’m calling out White privilege.

 

If this mom was not white is would go like this:

 

  1. Child Protective Services would take her child away.
  2. Mom would be ticketed for the infraction.
  3. Mom would not have money to pay ticket.
  4. Warrant for arrest of mom is issued.
  5. Mom is stopped for looking suspicious.
  6. Cop runs mom’s id and finds there is a warrant out for her un-paid fines.
  7. Mom is incarcerated until she can be bailed out.
  8. If she is ever released from jail she is billed for her food, housing and administrative costs.
Did you hear the words ‘tough on crime’ in this story? No.
Did you hear the words child endangerment? No.
I’m calling out double standards, hypocrisy and racism in the U.S. police force.

This Is Why I Fight For A Free Syria

No I am not Syrian or from Syria, but the people of Syria have captured my heart.  Their stories have both broke my heart at times and other times touched my heart.  Looking at the photo collage I …

What Goes Down in Ferguson is an Asian American Concern – In Fact, It’s a 99% Issue

 

Precariat: A social class defined by the shared experience of precarity, a condition of existence without predictability or stability, particularly as pertains to employment and economic security

Make no mistake. Ferguson is an Asian American issue. The exclusion and abuse of Black people and immigrants in the United States goes hand in hand. Together, they represent a loophole in democracy through which the 1 percent are moving an agenda that is making us all precariats.

Dad Seeks Answers 2 Years After Woman’s Shooting by Border Patrol [VIDEOS]

 

A man whose daughter was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Chula Vista two years ago continues to seek answers in her death while advocating the use of body cameras by agents.

 

While holding onto her car, the agent drew his service weapon and fired 10 shots into Tachiquin’s vehicle. She was struck in the right hand, arm, abdomen and chest, and died from bullet wounds to her heart, aorta, lungs and other vital organs, the report confirmed.

When asked about the case, the Department of Justice had no comment.

Customs and Border Patrol Protection would also not comment on whether or not Agent TackeTackettstill in the field.

The new Customs and Border Patrol Protection Head of Internal Affairs admitted there are more than 100 cases of excessive force by agents that need to be looked at again.

We need cameras on all law enforcement.

 

Police: child rape suspect on run after allegedly beating relative

 

(CNN) — A Massachusetts child rape suspect fled after cutting off his GPS monitoring bracelet, then — days later — returned home, beat and tied up his stepfather before stealing his gun and about 200 rounds of ammunition, police say.

Authorities announced on Facebook on September 20 — the same day he was spotted hundreds of miles away in Kentucky — that the Southbridge resident had fled and was wanted “for several outstanding felony arrest warrants.”
