US police ‘occupational force’ in black communities
Press TV ^ | Sat Apr 11, 2015

Law enforcement agencies in the United States are an “occupational force” in African-American neighborhoods, which have brutalized minorities for centuries, a Muslim American activist says.

Police brutality against African American males is an “ongoing phenomenon,” said Abdul Alim Musa, a renowned public speaker and director of Masjid al-Islam in Washington, DC.

Police violence against blacks in the US has taken place for “hundreds of years” since the time of slavery but is beginning to receive more press coverage now, Musa told Press TV on Saturday.

“The black community has always been over-policed and extra-policed,” he complained.

“The police here are considered an occupation force in all black communities, we consider the police as an occupational force like the Israeli army occupies Palestine; we feel exactly the same way.”

We have already tried that one - remember "Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, KS" "separate but equal education," can't exist, can it?

Besides, blacks will claim that we can't trust only whites to patrol white communities, there MUST be blacks on those forces, only blacks are permitted to segregate - remember "Black Miss America?"

Ain't no such thing as "White Miss America," is there?

Yeah. Like Detroit.

And when a person had to wait for *days* for a response to a non-emergency (like a robbery) the people howled, “where are the police?! They’re neglecting the black community!”

That is the NJ solution; despite being one of the densest states, with a black population proportionate to the country as a whole, we rarely have problems with cops shooting blacks. When they do occur, it is because the savages have wandered off the reservations to raid along the frontier; in terms of their own neighborhoods, they can’t afford cops, so they don’t get them.

Press TV is an Iranian operation.
