Positively Good Productions
Sowinig blessings and life lessons to encourage, refresh, and benefit our lives.
The vast majority of law enforcement officers are well
behaved and follow the department's guidelines. They
show up focused on serving all and try to decrease the
scope or intensity. They don't rush into situations
fearful with hostile, "Shoot first and think later", viciously
combative mindsets which threatens constitutional rights
and public safety. These mature men and women realize
and understand the value of de-escalation skills. They
have the common sense and decency to know that de-
escalation has, can, and will avert gross misconduct and
abuse which could become deadly tragedies.
Good police officers are exceptionally reasonable, decent,
fair, egoless and upright professionals who play an
important role in our communities, by maintaining public
order. These law professionals have the ability to relate to
all people who are going through unresolved issues
and incredible hardships. When they find themselves in
the midst of tragedies and chaotic moments of people's
lives they faithfully engage in their duties to prevent and
solve crime.
They show compassion and tend to empathize, while still
remaining professional. They are men and women who
are focused on keeping our communities safe, thus,
allowing society to thrive. The general public tends to
respect those who have not lost the human touch and view
them as strong authority figures.
Many sworn police officers are well-intentioned,
noble, and prefer to be seen as heroes... the good guys, not
the bad guys with a gang-like mentality, no accountability
and evil, brute-like hidden agendas.
Many police officers desire to protect and serve all people,
but that doesn't mean they are not fraught with and
are not susceptible to acting on implicit biases, racism,
prejudices and the unnecessary use of force protocols.


Unfortunately, people can become jaded... influenced by
their environment and misled via their training,
supervision, reviews, and little to no accountability or
disciplinary repercussions, as it relates to racial profiling,
systemic biases, abuse of power, excessive use of force,
brutality, corruption, coercive interrogations, witness
tampering, and other extreme misconduct.
Police and urban community relations are incredibly
complicated. Over 100 African civilizations were
destroyed by the European invasion. Most of the historical
buildings and monuments were destroyed. The Europeans
brought in diseases, i.e., smallpox and influenza, which
spread and killed many African people. The invaders
plundered, raped (men and women) and executed those
they felt needed to be executed.
Millions of Africans were scattered and faced horror and
death as they were forcibly taken from their African
homelands, arrived on American soil and enslaved.

Even after the Civil War, Slavery and its despicable racist
rationalization that African Americans were sub-human...
resulted in America experiencing a long, shameful and
inexcusable mangled history of exploiting and meting out
harsh and inhumane punishment on African Americans.
The scars and impacts continue, to this
day, and cannot be ignored.
The traders/enslavers captured slaves for revenue. The
enslaved Africans performed all of the labor and the
enslaver prospered from their toil. The enslaved were
denied a rightful share in the economic, social and/or
political progress in the United States.
Slaves began to rebel against the treatment and labor they
received. Africans ran away or plotted rebellions against
their owners to escape the harsh conditions in which they
lived. Slaves who were tired of their work began to rebel
against their owners.
The local government officials, initially, gave white people
the right to assert control over Africans and place Africans
under arrest, castigate the, beat and send the Africans
back to the enslaver/trader's home, if they were thought to
be wayward.
Later, the government, with its coercive power, mandated
that other citizens were to apprehend any slave who left
the enslaver/trader's property without permission. This
was for the express purpose of controlling the slave
population and protecting the interests of slave owners.
According to Sally E. Hadden, author of, Slave Patrols:
Law and Violence in Virginia and the Carolinas, the Slave
catchers would mount and arm themselves with whips and
guns and ride in groups on horseback, at night, in an effort
to chase down and terrorize the slaves into submission.
Physical and psychological violence took many forms,
i.e., the brutal beatings, purposely dividing families,
depriving the enslaved of food, etc. This kind of brutal,
terrorizing, "law and violence" policing imposed on
enslaved Africans was a means of dominance and social
control.
Fear was used as a weapon to render
the African American men docile and
weak before the insecure white men.

American policing started with Slave
Catchers who armed themselves and
controlled minorities through terror
and brutality.

Slave patrol was one of the earliest forms of policing and
their influence lives on. In fact, it set the tone for modern
day policing. Just take an honest look at the sickening
consistency of atrocities in our society with law
enforcement and African Americans.
Could it be that the oppressed and marginalized has a
special place in God's heart?
According to Jeremiah 49:12, God says to Edom: If
the innocent must suffer, how much more must you! You
shall not go unpunished! You must drink this cup of
judgment!
The kinship between the Slave patrols and American
policing are very discernible. The institution of slavery
and the control of minorities were two of the more
formidable historic features of American society shaping
early policing.
The legacy of slavery and racism did not end after the
Civil War. It can be argued that extreme violence against
people of color became even worse. Vigilantes, the Ku
Klux Klan and/or lynch mobs were notorious for
assaulting and hanging minorities first... and asking
questions later.


Just as Black men were lynched for transgressions that
would not be considered crimes at all, had a white man
committed them, African Americans, today, are two-and-
a-half times as likely, if not more, as their white
counterparts to die at the hands of the police.


It is a fact that blacks have high arrest and stop rates and,
per capita, are much more likely to be injured or die at
the hands of biased police who may believe that all men
were created equal, except for blacks.
Dr. King dreamed of a day when police abuse and racial
violence would be things of the past. “We can never be
satisfied as long as black Americans continue to be the
victim[s] of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.”
Yet, here we are again, almost 60 years later, faced with
the same or maybe even greater discriminatory policing
practices that Dr. King personally faced.
Regrettably, injustice lives on and "Justice for all"
remains far from being realized.
In 2020, when a Black person is killed by police, we learn
more about the black victim's criminal past than the police
who killed the victim. If the victim does not have a
criminal record, we hear demonizing, twisted, ignorant
remarks about the victim once driving with a broken tail
light or talk about when the victim was seen jaywalking.
If the victim has ever been arrested, and far too many have
been arrested without cause, they will find mug shots of
the victim or a bad looking snapshot that makes the victim
appear threatening. Then they will juxtapose it with a
flattering portraits of the killer, with the American flag in
the background, crisp uniform decorated with things most
of people associate with honorable.

The masses are not ignorant. It is ignorant to
underestimate the intelligence of people. Most are very
well aware of all the subliminal and antagonistic
messages, psychological warfare and white supremacist
systems plaguing and harming our friends and families.
That is disrespectful.


Unarmed black men are getting killed by police. Armed
white boy walks past police and is apprehended the
following day. He was not slammed to the ground. His
face was not slammed pounded into the sidewalk, his neck
was not held down with a knee. He was treated as if
nothing had just happened.
WHERE IS THE
JUSTICE???
Without transparency, there will not be
any kind of accountability.


Should being a police
officer give license to maim
or kill anyone anytime
with minimal reason?
How is it okay to associate black with guilty and not have
equal rights to a fair trial?
One might wonder, just how many times has one dressed
in police uniform... hidden behind the badge and
committed heinous crimes, i.e., maiming or taking the
lives of unarmed black Americans... then destroying
evidence and evading justice?

Cases against police officers with deeply embedded biases
have been extremely difficult for the victim to win. In
some instances, cases have been sabotaged because
witnesses were usually fellow officers who remained
silent or were actively involved in the "No snitch" buddy
system.
Unfortunately, some do not speak out when their fellow
officer(s) either use excessive force or unnecessary
force. Some have fabricated police reports either by
commission, omission or assent.
There are still some who will go out of their way to
disadvantage entire groups of people on the basis of
race; however, with technology being so advanced, many
longstanding inequalities and racism are now being
captured on video.
Cellphone video has made it possible to expose the bad
behavior, racism, discrimination, and other unsettling and
upsetting incidents which could have been reported with
different spins.
Citizens are now better equipped to inform the proper
authorities and get justice with their eyewitness reports and
real-time video footage... which backs up their claims.
Citizens have become the sidewalk journalists. They are
now able to capture bad behavior as it unfolds.
Assault is assault!
Let us be honest, behind the badge and
beyond the uniform is a human being
with behaviors that could be criminal.
An individuals thoughts and actions speaks volumes about
the individual they come from more so than the person
they targeted. One can tell a lot about a person by what
they choose to think and how they choose to treat another.
It is a fact that blacks have high arrest and stop rates and,
per capita, are much more likely to be injured or die at the
hands of biased police who may believe that all men were
created equal, except for blacks.

Police Misconduct?

Most perpetrators consider themselves to be racially
superior and others... inferior. Some would rather believe
that blacks excessively contribute to the high crime rate.
Biased and slanted reports from mainstream media,
serving their own interests, can further warp unsuspecting
viewers, listeners and readers... without producing any
reliable evidence to support their claims.
Some people never consider the fact that statistics
are influenced by a disproportionate rate of biased
arrests and convictions of blacks.
The over-focus on demonizing blacks may very well be
camouflaging the critically high crime rate that could very
well be within the white populace.
Research supports the idea that many
are turning a blind eye and are
refusing to challenge this brutal,
inhumane status quo which deprives
black people of justice and equality.
Most would agree, we can no longer
deny the realities of implicit bias and
systemic racism anywhere in this
world!
So much has to change. Mistreating
people of a particular race is
racism. Using tactics like intimidation
and threats when blacks are seeking to
exercise their rights is devilish.

People, in the United States of America, are being
terrorized, traumatized, brutalize and killed by violent and
aggressive officers who were sworn to protect and serve.
How would you feel if this person was your child, your
sibling or parent?
Please help us to understand or see the humor in this
dehumanizing photo?
Research has found that both systemic and individual
racial biases operate against African Americans and other
people of color in police departments nationwide. Studies
have found that police officers use force against African
Americans seven times more often than against whites
who were engaged in behaviors very similar to their
counterparts.

In 2011, Paul R. Allen, 55, of Oakton, Virginia, was
sentenced to 40 months in prison after being convicted of
fraud for participating in a $2.9 billion scheme that caused
the mortgage and lending firm Taylor, Bean & Whitaker
to go under.
Two years earlier, Roy Brown, 54, a homeless African-
American man, was sentenced to 15 years hard labor
without the possibility of probation, parole or suspension
of sentence for robbing a bank in Shreveport, Louisiana.
According to reports on the story, Brown, the homeless
man, only took $100 from the three stacks of money
handed to him and returned the stacks back to the teller.
He told the teller he needed it because he was homeless,
hungry and needed the money to stay at the detox center.
After feeling remorseful, he voluntarily surrendered to the
police the next day and told them his mother didn't raise
him that way. He received the 15 year sentence.
The CEO was given a relatively lenient sentence of
months for his involvement in a multi-billion dollar fraud
scheme versus the homeless man who only took $100
from a bank...
where is the justice for all?




With the enormous attention given to street crimes, one
would think that street crimes are the costliest and
deadliest type of criminal activity... not true.
White collar crimes of the elite, i.e., wage theft, strings of
fraud charges, insider trading, labor racketeering,
embezzlement, cybercrime, copyright infringement,
money laundering, identity theft, forgery, conspiracy,
unauthorized banking transactions, ponzi schemes,
bribery, and committing other heinous crimes and
deflect those crimes on fictitious black people. This kind
of behavior has been going on for eons! That's evil.
White collar criminal lying, cheating and stealing are far
more costly and harmful to society than blue collar or
street crimes. As quiet as the media has kept it, the FBI
estimates that the white collar crimes costs the US
economy more than $300 billion a year and can have
serious impact on people's lives.
How is this justifiable?
According to the FBI, the annual cost of street crime is
$15 billion compared to nearly $1 trillion for white collar
crime; yet, the white collar criminal is treated with more
respect and leniency. If they are sentenced... the time they
serve is disturbingly short. Juxtaposed with the harsh
sentences black men receive, 19.1% longer sentences than
white men for similar crimes, this is a walk in the park... a
slap on the wrist.
The broken legal system has been guilty of unfairly
treating the politically elite crimes committed in office
buildings, with mostly middle-aged caucasian white
collar offenders who are gainfully employed with middle
class backgrounds, respectfully and humanely. The legal
system seems to have a tendency to always find a way for
well off white people to receive preferential treatment.

Is it truly justice when race and class
determines how a defendant is treated?










The majority of people in the system are
disproportionately poor, black and Latino. They are rarely
if ever treated with kindness, leniency or compassion.
Many, in our multi-racial and
multi-ethnic society are deeply
concerned over the unequal police
enforcement, the unnecessary and
often excessive use of force, racial
profiling and militarization,
especially... against people of color.

It has been reported that during training, police recruits
spend 58 hours... almost two and a half days on firearms
training. This is seven times longer than they dedicate to
de-escalation training.

Do the police use one set of strategies
with white people and another with
people of color?
Does one's socio-economic status have
anything to do with who is targeted by
police?

Could it be that socio-economic status
is used to maintain systemic racism?

Police agencies are operating more
like adrenaline fueled occupying
soldiers than community protectors.



Institutionalized racism, also referred
to as systemic racism, is inequality
based on race within an organization.
Systemic racism has been defined as
those established laws, customs and
practices which systematically reflect
and produce racial inequalities. It
negatively affects the bulk of people
belonging to a racial group.
Institutional and cultural practices
can perpetuate race inequality.
Systemic racism has brutalized
multiple generations of black people!
Systemic racism is much like a new
spin on "Jim Crow". It can be enacted
individually or institutionally.
The term "Institutional racism" describes societal patterns
and structures that imposes oppressive, prejudiced-
ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping or
otherwise disadvantaged conditions on certain groups of
people on the basis of race or ethnicity.
Institutionalized racism is the underbelly of the subtle
jabber or double-talk of
"Greatness".
There is indisputable evidence of the indignations, the
dehumanization and police brutality black people are
subjected to, on a regular basis, in the United States of
America, 2020!
African Americans still face significant discrimination in
the labor market. Blacks are statistically less likely to get
employed or call backs... less likely to get housing... less
likely to get justice... and more likely to be racially
profiled, pulled over, falsely accused, unfairly targeted
for suspicion, physically abused (with deadly force),
verbally harassed without cause... arrested, shot or killed
by police.


has been committed.
Struggles between African American
communities and the police have
existed for centuries. The roots of
racism run deep.
Civil Rights in Selma, Alabama 1965. Attempt to register to vote. Rev. C. T. Vivian of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, is telling the Dallas County Sheriff Jim Clark (a staunch segregationist) that by not letting them into the courthouse, he's breaking an injunction. He continues to berate him and says that he (sheriff) is trying to intimidate them by making the marchers wait in the rain when they just want to register to vote.



Cases against police officers with these deeply embedded
biases have been extremely difficult for the victims to
win. Cases have been, in some instances, sabotaged
because witnesses were usually fellow officers who
remained silent or were actively involved in the
"No snitch" buddy system.
Unfortunately, some do not speak out when their fellow
officer(s) either use excessive force or unnecessary force.
Some have been known to fabricate police reports either
by commission, omission or assent.
,

.
The psychological impact of bad encounters with police
can have lifelong consequences. One can leave a bad
experience with an officer and associate policing with
potential hurt, harm or danger.


There is a stark difference in the way blacks are treated
when pulled over by a biased officer as opposed to the
way most whites are treated.

In many cases, once a black person exits their vehicle,
they may be tried, sentenced and executed without real
justice being served in a courtroom.

Even when a person is clearly not a threat... they can be
racially profiled and violently restrained.

A disproportionate number of Blacks
have been stopped, agitated and
arrested for trivial reasons by the
police who are abusing their power.
Many individuals who have been
pulled over have yet to see justice
served.

There are still some officers who will go out of their way
to disadvantage entire groups of people on the basis of
race; however, with technology being so advanced, many
longstanding inequalities and racism are now being
captured on video.
Cellphone video has made it possible to expose the bad
behavior, racism, discrimination, and other unsettling and
upsetting incidents which could have been reported with
different spins.
Citizens are now better equipped to inform the proper
authorities and get justice with their eyewitness reports
and real-time video footage... which we would hope is
sufficient evidence to back up their claims. Citizens have
become the sidewalk journalists. They are now able to
capture bad behavior as it unfolds.


Blacks are disproportionately targeted and subjected
to biased and corrupt police bullying.

Statistics indicate that some officers are using excessive
force against African American people seven times more
frequently than against whites.

Some would rather believe that blacks excessively
contribute to the high crime rate. They never consider
the fact that their statistics are influenced by the
disproportionate rate of biased arrests and
convictions of blacks.
The over-focus on demonizing blacks may very well be
camouflaging the critically high crime rate that could very
well be within the white populace.
.



Could it be that police are more inclined to act as if they
have a license to kill because they have impunity?
Impunity exempts an officer from punishment or harm.
This, unfortunately, means one can carry out their evil and
sometimes deadly schemes with impunity. This means an
exemption or immunity from punishment or any kind of
unpleasant consequences.

Policing is playing a key
role in sustaining
inequalities.
According to recent studies, there is clear evidence which
shows black Americans are at a higher risk of being killed
based on biased judgments made by some police officers.
Equally distressing are the responses and reports written
by some officers who know they can avoid responsibilities
and accountability, for their conduct, by deflecting blame
on others for causing disturbances, etc. Rather than
acknowledging the fact that they are the ones who
dispense corporal punishment at the scene and/or
play a key role in fanning the flames... they, instead, flip
the script on the African American who is just trying to
"Be" in America.
In many cases... over-zealous officers responding to non-
violent offenses are sometimes responsible for situations,
unnecessarily, spiraling out of control. These controllers,
manipulators and/or abusers seem to lack insight into how
they should engage others. They tend to create certain
scenarios and write reports that make themselves out to
be the victims...while condemning their victim.
Some officers are relentless in pursuing what they want
and have little regard for who gets hurt along the way
and/or how an encounter with them can destroy the life
of another.

When the constitution was written, the time between
sentencing and execution could be measured in days or
weeks. Some trigger happy vigilantes, hiding behind the
uniform, have drastically cut that time frame down to
minutes. They become self-appointed judge, jury and
executioner.

What should "Serve and Protect" mean to the black
community?
How can our black communities be assured that when they
interact with officers... the interaction will not take on new
meanings?

One might wonder, just how many times has one dressed
in police uniform... hidden behind the badge and
committed heinous crimes, i.e., maiming or taking the
lives of unarmed black Americans... then destroying
evidence and evading justice?




.



Among us, live courageous protectors of the public. They
believe the oath “To Serve and Protect” means more than
a slogan on a shield or the side of a patrol car. These brave
souls are representatives of law enforcement who stand
for more than just that slogan.
Some refuse to accept the status quo.
The concept of “Internal Affairs” stands for more than
protection of those in power. Policies and Procedures
Manuals demand accountability.

Not all police officers are bad guys, but camaraderie,
brotherhood, and institutional pressures from chain of
command can affect even the noblest officer.
What a major discredit and disappointment to the upright
and dedicated police officers who serve, protect and build
trust. They would never betray or dishonor their
profession. It would be beneath their dignity to betray
their badge or public trust.

There are, indeed, police officers who hold themselves
accountable for their actions. They would not even
consider stooping to the level of brutes.
Upright officers protect with courage, serve with
compassion and are respectful to all. Their words and
actions are guided by an internal sense of honesty,
decency and morality. They are sincerely committed
to serve, protect and improve the quality of life for all
citizens and the agency they serve.


There are many good, honest, hardworking, personable,
intelligent, courageous, reasonable, trustworthy police
officers who go above and beyond the call of duty. They
are good decision makers, who tend to handle pressure
well. They are knowledgeable and tend to deal well with
uncertainties. They are objective, determined, dependable,
resilient, flexible and they have integrity. They perform
many random acts of kindness... we never hear about!
These fine men and women put their lives at risk to
protect citizens, enforce the laws, patrol assigned areas,
observe suspicious activities, respond to disturbances,
monitor and maintain good traffic conditions, prevent
crimes, have good communication and people skills and
are able to mediate disputes.
They are not cowardice, self appointed "wannabe
terrorists" who hide behind uniforms and badges to wreak
havoc by performing egregious... evil deeds!

Is this policing, or is this
personal and criminal?


Today, the thought of honor and accountability appears to
be the most lacking measures in the system. Citizens must
demand accountability. The system just doesn’t seem to
understand the concept.

"Protect and Serve" are the words we see on the side of
many police cars and it is the catch-phrase of many police
forces. The police have the potential to be a force for good.
To "Protect and Serve" defines the mission of the police.
This means to "Protect" citizens and "Serve" the public.
However, it has become increasingly clear that with some
biased officers... those words are beyond the bounds of
recognition and realization, particularly for many
blacks.
For many black communities, "To protect and serve"
means, to protect officers who use excessive force and
intentionally violate policies and procedures which in
many cases has resulted in targeting citizens and
senselessly bullying, demeaning (non-verbally and
verbally), falsely accusing, antagonizing,
incarcerating and/or causing severe injury and/or death.
This should be a crime!
There is no real accountability because... a "No Snitch"
buddy system defends the "Dirty little secrets" and
corruption of racist criminal officers and allows
them to pursue goals that serve their own dark and
sometimes criminal agendas.
This is a gross miscarriage of justice!



Most perpetrators consider themselves
to be racially superior and others...
inferior.

This is a 15 year
old teen!
Far too many bad police officers routinely hurt and maim
black people.
How would you feel if the police and the justice system
treated you or your family member as they treat blacks?
YOU WOULD BE
OUTRAGED!
Is this law and order or disorder? The blue lights, police
cruisers and uniforms gives us the illusion of protection...
security. This scene is more like... mob style justice!


Hate crimes and/or death sentences, initiated by
people with hidden agendas, should not be the fate of
blacks just trying to live in America.
Black mothers, fathers, sisters and/or brothers should
not have to be troubled of what appalling development
the morning may bring.
Black people are being subjected to cruel, cowardly,
torturous, gruesome, racist and angry people disguised as
police officers... hiding behind the badge.

Contrary to what some may believe...
Black people are also a part of God's
amazing creation.
Could it be that some unchecked lawbreakers are
actually... aggressively scared officers who intentionally
escalate incidents so they may create an opportunity for
wild justice and fear mongering?
Could it be a convenience for one to incite and/or
escalate crimes, in a classic bait-and-switch, which would
allow them to scream,
STOP RESISTING...
to someone who is not resisting?
Could it be that some are creating non-existent scenarios,
even if someone is sleeping in a drive-through or stopped
for a tail light outage, to blow things out of proportion,
draw guns and have power over people which they would
not have the courage to do in civilian attire?
In far too many cases, a traffic stop, by the wrong officer,
could turn into a prelude to wrongful incarceration or a
death sentence, very quickly.
We can no longer sit idly by and allow a few bad officers
to create double standards and systemic racial profiling
in our system of justice.
We cannot allow fear-mongrels to put on uniform, with
hidden agendas to terrorize the lives of innocent people.
This is a disgrace before God!


What should "Serve and Protect" mean to the black
community?
How can our black communities be assured that when they
interact with officers... the interaction will not take on new
meanings?


Some would rather believe that blacks excessively
contribute to the high crime rate.
One might wonder, just how many times has an officer
put on their uniform and the clothes affected how they
acted. The crisp uniform of the police officer conveys
power and authority. When a police officer puts on his or
her uniform the officer is perceived in a very different
way by the public.
Some have misused and abused the uniform and
committed heinous crimes, in plain sight. Some become
inebriated with power and maim and/or take the
lives of unarmed black Americans. Many have learned
how to tamper with or destroy evidence, thus, evade
justice.
Research supports the idea that many are turning a blind
eye and are refusing to challenge this brutal, inhumane
status quo which deprives black people of justice and
equality.
Most would agree, we can no longer
deny the realities of implicit bias and
systemic racism anywhere in this
world!
So much has to change. Mistreating
people of a particular race is
racism. Using tactics like intimidation
and threats when blacks are seeking to
exercise their rights is devilish.

Black lives are at risk. Blacks are twice as likely to be
hurt, arrested or killed by an officer. It is said that there
are more black Americans in the United States justice
system than there were slaves in 1850.
Let us be honest, many whites have unearned advantages
over blacks, and when it is brought to the light... some
tend to deflect, dismiss, misunderstand and read into it... a
whole different meaning. That is cruel and selfish. It
is time that we all look through a more righteous lens
and stop deflecting the real issues minorities have to face
when they interact with bad officers.

For those who may not know, there is
a stark difference in the way blacks
are treated when pulled over by a
biased officer as opposed to the way
most whites are treated. In many
cases, once a black person exits their
vehicle, they may be tried, sentenced
and executed without real justice
being served in a courtroom.
Let us not miss the point, black people are being murdered
and brutalized by police who in many cases get a slap on
the wrist. These are real lives that are being taken. These
are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, sons
and daughters of people who are left in mourning.
These are lives that have been ripped away from their
loved ones either through wrongful incarceration or tragic
acts of violence. How is this acceptable?

Black lives matters denounces systemic racism and police
brutality that is, on a regular, excessively used against
black people.
When people say black lives matter, it does not mean blue
lives, white lives, red lives, yellow lives and brown lives
don’t matter. All lives matter is an accurate statement, but
this is not a matter of devaluing or comparing lives.
When black people have encounters with biased people
within the judicial system and police officers, it becomes
very apparent to black people that they can't or won't see
the humanity in black lives. Black lives have been grossly
undervalued and to try to rationalize the horrible injustices
black people have experienced is just wrong and mean-
spirited.
How would you feel if the police patrolled your
community the way they patrol the black community?
How would you feel if the shoe were on the other foot and
this was your experience in the United States of America?
How would you feel if every move you, your child, your
brother, sister, mother or father made had to be made
with severe consideration for their life being threatened or
taken by those who are hired to preserve law and order?
Whether all humans accept it or not... black lives really
do matter and should not be subjected to blatant injustice,
treated with contempt and/or regarded as subhuman, that
is the point.

How can one say that they love God
and treat people who were made in
God's image with such disdain?
God makes it clear, in His Word, that
no man is superior to another. The
Scriptures do not condone, but
actually condemns this kind of
behavior.

There has been growing attention to what many
characterize as systemic racial disparities in how the
police in the United States of America do their jobs. Far
too many are operating outside of the law. Far too many
lack sufficient ethical and professional standards, and they
are like loose canons without boundaries!


Is it possible for law
enforcement to start
focusing on what is
preventable?

Today, the thought of humanity and accountability appears
to be the most lacking measure in the system. Citizens
must demand accountability. The system just doesn’t seem
to understand the concept.


Research supports the idea that
many are turning a blind eye and are
refusing to challenge this brutal,
inhumane status quo which deprives
black people of justice and equality.

actually condemns this kind of
behavior.

It would behoove our country to take
major steps to overhaul a policing
system that facilitates and even
encourages human rights violations.
Our system is dysfunctional, abusive and there are far too
many loopholes to police accountability. Our system is in
a dangerous state of disrepair. These are perilous times.
Our democracy, civility, truth within the system and the
gross lack of accountability is broken. It's time that the old
methods of abuse, threats and loopholes are deconstructed
and reconstructed to hold police accountable for abuses
and build a professional, rights-respecting police force.
Police officers who commit human rights violations,
regardless of rank, should face appropriate punishment.
It is relatively commonplace...
customary for police to get a lot of
legal latitude to use force without fear
of punishment.
These legal standards give
law enforcement a license to
kill innocent or unarmed
people, based on a split
second decision!
Dysfunction, Abuse and Impunity in the US Police...
documents a range of human rights violations committed
by police, including arbitrary arrest and detention, torture,
false reports and extrajudicial "Mob justice".
These kinds of heinous, unreasonable acts,
execution/killings/lynchings,
should be prosecuted and convicted...
it's criminal.

Deconstruction starts with
the realization that all of reality
is constructed by flawed human
beings.
Deconstruction entails the honest and responsible process
of taking apart and reassembling something that is not
working in an upright manner. It means rebuilding with
God as our firm foundation.
Deconstructing means reassembling so that we all may
truly realize a system that honors and is under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!
Deconstruction is important because it helps us uncover,
expose and better understand unrighteous hidden agendas,
the underlying layers of oppression, the mind games and
the abuse of power.
Deconstruction is not
destruction.
Deconstruction is for the betterment of all mankind. This
re-assembling will help us all to leave this world much
better than we found it.
Deconstructing and reconstructing
will help future generations realize a brighter tomorrow.
Ask any great builder.
