In the eyes of many progressives and civil rights advocates, the police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri earlier this month was a tragic and familiar story: the latest example of the law enforcement community's prejudiced administration of justice.
Now, a group of notables and activists, joined by several members of the Congressional Black Caucus, are demanding the establishment of a federal police "czar," employed by the Justice Department, to oversee local law enforcement practices and help prevent racial bias in policing.
"In cities across America, local law enforcement units too often treat low-income neighborhoods populated by African Americans and Latinos as if they are military combat zones instead of communities where people strive to live, learn, work, play and pray in peace and harmony," explained a letter to President Obama posted as an advertisement in Monday's Washington Post.
The letter was signed by more than 100 people, including CBC Chairwoman Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, and Jim Wallis, the president of Sojourners, a left-leaning faith-based organization.
Brown is "is only the latest in a long list of black men and boys who have died under eerily similar circumstances," the letter added. "The pattern is too obvious to be a coincidence and too frequent to be a mistake."(continued)

“If you love wealth greater than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
You’re both right, somewhat:
A member of the NSDAP from its early days, Göring was wounded in 1923 during the failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He became addicted to morphine after being treated with the drug for his injuries. After helping Adolf Hitler take power in 1933, he became the second-most powerful man in Germany. He founded the Gestapo in 1933, and later gave command of it to Heinrich Himmler.

Police Czar=Political Officer to enforce government policy as law.

After 50 years are we back to ‘Support your Local Police’ ?!
At some point there has to be a definitive solution and conclusion.
Sadly so.

Life is no more.
These idiots won’t like it one bit when the czar isn’t one of theirs
AND HERE THEY ARE.
What the hell does an Urban Czar do???????
.
Urban czar is tasked with making sure those urban types vote the right way. And making sure they vote early and often. Much like the party’s media.
Gotcha !!!!!!!

Meanwhile exercising their Black Privilege to make "unrealistic and often outlandish" claims the advocates claim Brown is "is only the latest in a long list of black men and boys who have died under eerily similar circumstances," the letter added. "The pattern is too obvious to be a coincidence and too frequent to be a mistake."
Fact is
Local police involved in 400 killings per year
Citing data gathered by the Bureau of Justices Statistics in 2008, the IACP [International Association of Chiefs of Police] said less than 2% of the 40 million people who had contact with police reported the use of force or threatened use of force.
"In large part, the public perception of police use of force is framed and influenced by the media depictions which present unrealistic and often outlandish representations of law enforcement and the policing profession," the group said in a 2012 report."
The article points out that there has never been a comprehensive effort to gather the data needed to prove one way or the other.
So the victim's industry citing its Black Privilege can freely shout "unrealistic and often outlandish" claims at each and every individual personal tragedy involving a black citizen and police.
Great dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just logging off for the night and saw this post.
