If being included into society isn't the goal, then what is? Would you have the black population declare independence from the rest of the US?
Ferguson Judge Ronald Brockmeyer, who was criticized in the scathing report, said he welcomed a reporter to visit his court in person to report the actual facts as to how the court operates. But he didnt show up to court Thursday night in Dellwood, where he is prosecutor, and otherwise declined to comment through a series of emails.
There was also no comment from Ferguson Prosecuting Attorney Stephanie Karr, who works by day for a private law firm Curtis, Heinz, Garrett & OKeefe whose partners are involved in just about all aspects of the regions municipal court operations.
Several prosecutors, city attorneys and judges contacted Thursday said they couldnt comment on the reports findings because they hadnt read it.
Among them was Frank Vatterott, the judge in Overland who is leading a voluntary municipal judges committee investigating reforms.
But on favors, he noted, unfortunately ticket-fixing goes on in every city, every state. It just does. I dont know that St. Louis is any different.
Some court and city officials outside of Ferguson took a defiant tone Thursday.
Brian Gremaud, an alderman in Vinita Park, one of the cities where Brockmeyer works as prosecuting attorney, said the Department of Justice report all seems a little overblown.
We are taking too much power away from the police and courts if we criticize what they are doing to keep us safe, he said. They are just doing their jobs. I dont think our courts are strong enough.
In Breckenridge Hills, where Brockmeyer serves as judge, councilwoman Tamara Johnson said she didnt think her city had problems.
Ive never heard a bad report against our judge. We dont have elevated court fees. We try to keep everything fair so we dont have our names smeared all over the place as being a bad city, she said.
Breckenridge Hills Mayor Jack Shrewsbury said the board actually had a closed door meeting recently to discuss firing Brockmeyer for being too lenient on court fines and jail time for offenders.
Why would anyone want to be included with their enemy? I view white supremacy the same way the US government view the war on terror. For black people it's a matter of national security and this country has made it abundantly clear that we will never be treated as equals.
aquavelva, I think the responsibility and action lie with the power holders, i.e. White people and the system.
I can't understand how a society can continue to be so bad for so long (decades if not centuries) without doing anything to fix it.
Ferguson PD is a symptom of a general atrocity which has been persistent for so many decades.
So what is the point? If "live together" isn't the goal then its either "leave" or "dominate/destroy" said enemy. Which do you prefer?
Well this is some nice justice porn, 2 officers resigned and the county clerk that engaged in those emails was fired. It's obviously small but I hope it's a step in the right direction. Eric Holder when interviewed said he'd disband the entire department in Ferguson if that's what it takes for reform.

Too bad there are probably a hundred other cities desperately in need of reform, too.Well this is some nice justice porn, 2 officers resigned and the county clerk that engaged in those emails was fired.

The point is to be treated as a human being. The fact you believe that one of our courses of action would be to live in a society where we are hated and viewed as the enemy as absolutely disgusting to me.
Various black leaders over the centuries have been telling my people to take the specific actions to shield ourselves from this. But as I stated early, black people don't want to take the necessary steps to truly fight white supremacy.
What are the neccessary steps to protect one's self?
Is the goal social harmony or unrest?
It just sounds like the preliminaries for instigating a riot or sedition.
It is, and this isn't an unpopular opinion in black communities that I've seen.You were the one that branded our entire society "white supremacy"

The judge in Ferguson, Missouri, who is accused of fixing traffic tickets for himself and colleagues while inflicting a punishing regime of fines and fees on the citys residents, also owes more than $170,000 in unpaid taxes.
You can also just put on your tv if walking is too much.One need only walk around every part of ANY, literally ANY city with a half decent number of non-whites and it's plain to see that our society is white supremacy. It's not even arguable.
You can't tell a person content in life they are second class citizens any more than you can tell a man in love that he isn't. Its like spitting in the wind.
Its not a failure of leadership, just where people are at this point.
I think content is the wrong word. Trapped perhaps, stuck in a state of chaos and stress that leaves almost zero minutes to do anything other than survive perhaps. But content? I don't think so.
Content would be the feeling describing those certain Americans who have no problem vilifying Ed Snowden, much the way people vilified Civil Right's activists for breaking the law because "you need to respect the law and follow the proper channels."
And aquavelva, I see what you are saying now.
Is it not?You were the one that branded our entire society "white supremacy"
Saw this on Twitter:
Is it not?
It's missing "get murdered by police".
