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.

Are families of cross-border shooting victims a step closer to justice?

 

It’s been almost two years since 16-year-old José Antonio Elena Rodríguez was killed in the Mexican town of Nogales as he walked down a street close to his home near the U.S.-Mexico border. According to reports, on the night of Oct. 10, 2012, an unidentified Border Patrol agent opened fire on José through the steel-beamed border fence that stands on a cliff above the street where he was walking.

José was shot at least 10 times as he stood on Mexican soil — by an agent standing on U.S. soil.

Until recently, José’s family believed it was likely no one would be held responsible for his death. Since the bullets that killed José traveled from the U.S. into Mexico and because José was not a U.S. citizen, finding justice under the Constitution has been an uphill battle.

Case of San Diego Father Beaten to Death by Border Agents Advances to Trial

 

San Diego, CA: The district court judge presiding over the civil case involving the family of Anastasio Hernandez Rojas has cleared the way for trial and denied the claims of border agents’ that they are immune from the lawsuit. The federal government filed a motion arguing that the border agents involved in the use of force against Anastasio are immune from civil liability, asserting that their conduct did not violate any constitutional rights. The judge disagreed, dismissed the government’s claim and cleared the way for the civil case to go to trial. Anastasio was a long-time San Diego resident and a father of 5 who was beaten and shot repeatedly with a taser by border agents resulting in his death near the San Ysidro Port of Entry in May 2010.

The U.S. says we have the right to bear arms.

 

But if you’re Black or Brown… guess what? You will get shot if you carry a toy gun, or a black wallet, or cell phone or even if you have both hands in the air.

 

Remember Andy Lopez.
