(62,325 posts)decades old tragedy of police brutality and murder against primarily AAs.
We welcome you to this most important fight. Though it is reprehensible for ANYONE and we see it in every election cycle, to try to USE it for political purposes, then forget it AFTER the election.
Have you attended any of the Ferguson protests over the past year, or helped them by spreading the word as to where they will take place?
I hope you will join us in pressuring the DOJ to step in and start protecting AAs from our Civilian Police now that you are aware of this most important issue.
There have been several actions over the past year demanding this from our Government who have done nothing over the decades to protect the victims of this awful racism within our so-called Civilian Police Depts.
Total reform is needed which will take the efforts of all Americans. Not just campaign rhetoric, which is old and has done not a single thing so far. However if it gets some attention, no matter if it's only for political purposes, for the issue, we can certainly use that attention at least until the interest dies, as it always does, after the election.
Welcome to this decades old struggle.
