Brave Woman Speaks On Obama, De Blasio and Al Sharpton on Killing Cops




God Bless this brave woman and her family for sharing her thoughts on Obama, De Blasio and Al Sharpton even after receiving death threats. She hits the nail on the head when she speaks on the problems with today's youth. It is not only a problem with the African American Youth in the ghettos of America, it is a problem with the American youth in general. Today's youth have a lack of respect and accountability. The thugs do not represent the African American community. Strong men and women, like the woman in the video represent the African American community. My prayers are with her and her family.

Racism in America

According to PolitiFact and the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics 93% of black crimes were committed by people of their own race. It is more rare for a African American to be killed by a police officer than by another African American.

In 1860, William Ellison was South Carolina's largest slave owners. Ellison was formally a slave and purchased land to start a cotton farm. Ellison was also guilty of slave breeding. Ellison felt the women slaves were little use to the farm and decided to breed and sell slaves.  Many of Ellison's slaves either ran away or attempted to run away due to his poor treatment. Slavery was wrong period, regardless of who did the enslaving.

What is also left out of the great slave debate that is used to add fuel to the fire of racism in America is Africa sold their citizens into the life of slavery. Indentured servants were white. Most of the indentured servants were paid very little and often died before paying off their debt. Therefore, slavery is a crime also committed against white Americans.

The recent death of Michael Brown has ignited a fire in the United States. Michael Brown was not an innocent victim. Why is an innocent person supposed to go to jail or just lay down and die, because he is white and the criminal is black. When a black police officer killed Dillon Taylor, a white criminal in Utah there was no protesting saying it was police violence. It was proven that Michael Brown punched the police officer and tried to take his gun. No matter who is standing there, if someone tries to kill you, you will defend yourself. Most the people protesting in Ferguson were not protesting because they cared about the life of Michael Brown, they saw it as an opportunity to commit crimes and get away with it. How does violence against innocent people justify the death of Michael Brown. Committing crimes against Non-African American citizens is not going to justify the death of Michael Brown? The people who race crimes are committed against are people who have nothing to do with the case of Michael Brown or are even racist. These crimes are not being committed against the KKK, they are being committed against innocent people. Violence only breeds violence.

Instead of protesting about the case of Michael Brown, protest and do something to change black on black crime.

Committing violent crimes against another race is racism regardless the race of the victim. The African American community should be against race motivated violent crimes. Racism breeds racism and will only divide the races.

What Ferguson Protesters Did To A Slain Officer's Memorial



Jeremy Henwood was sitting in his cruiser while he was shot and killed. Officer Henwood was a decorated hero who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just moments after buying a young man a meal at McDonald's who couldn't afford it was gunned down while sitting in his police cruiser. Protesters from a 2 local San Diego Ferguson Activists sent out this tweet and defaced his memorial. If someone did something like this to a Michael Brown memorial, they would burn down the United States. 

Officer Henwood was an honorable police officer while Michael Brown was ruthless bully. I highly doubt Michael Brown would buy a young boy lunch who couldn't afford it. Michael Brown tried to kill a cop over him stealing cigarillos. Every person who committed this crime against Officer Henwood's memorial should be arrested and charged. Where is the justice in doing something like this to an innocent's man's memorial who had absolutely nothing to do with the Michael Brown case. Police officers are human too and also have families. Dragging innocent people through the mud only shows the ignorance of Ferguson protesters.

What is outrageous is that you have no respect for frustration some have with what police represent

New Leak in Ferguson Missouri Case

Protesting has been going on for over 70 days now in Ferguson, Missouri. Protesters are waiting on an indictment of the officer involved the death of Michael Brown. If the grand jury does not indict Officer Wilson, officials fear the protests will get worse.

New details have been leaked by a federal source to The New York Times could be strategic, a former FBI official told CNN. "It could be really for, in part, a beneficial purpose, to start leading those community leaders and those leading the protests to believe that there won't be an indictment," said Ron Hosko, former assistant director of the FBI Criminal Division. "It may be over time, that will have a beneficial effect of no riots, no battles in the streets again."

The protesting in Ferguson, could  be any city in the United States. The entire situation was handled poorly right from the beginning. The Grand Jury is dragging their feet on an indictment decision is the worst thing they could be possibly being doing right in the Brown case. The longer they drag their feet on an indictment, the more tension will build in Ferguson, Missouri increasing the possibility of protesting breaking out into total chaos.

As you listen to the video below, you can hear how the Ferguson Police Department has incorrectly handled the case right from the very beginning.

Ferguson Missouri

Isn't it so funny how everyone is in a uproar about one situation going on in the United States, then something else comes up and the previous issue has practically vanished from the news? Two weeks ago the immigrants coming from Central America was the topic of the news, Israel is at war, Christians are being persecuted in Iraq and the list goes on, now we just hear bits and pieces of news from the United States and around the world and the situation in Missouri has taken over the news.

There is unrest all over the world, it is even becoming difficult for me to follow all the news going on around the world and I spend hours a day following the news. It seems the more attention Ferguson, Missouri gets, the worse the situation becomes. The people in Ferguson know the eyes of the United States is watching what is going on in Ferguson. So, what happens? They give us more to watch. After watching several online videos trying to sort out the mess in Ferguson, I have come to the conclusion that no, the officer should not have gunned down Michael Brown in the middle of the street like he did and he failed to follow police procedures on arresting a suspect. Michael Brown was far from a law abiding citizen, but he does have the right to a fair trial without being gunned down in the street. He was a young man on the wrong path, he decided to strong arm a store clerk over a box of cigarillos and a police officer decided not to follow police procedure. Now the city of Ferguson has come crashing down and is now a police state.

While protesters continue to protest in Ferguson, stores are still being looted and robbed by criminals, not peaceful protesters. The problem with situations like Ferguson is, people are going to take advantage of the situation and use law enforcement's lack of control of Ferguson to go out and commit crimes and innocent people are being harassed, robbed and killed all because one young man decided to rob a store for a box of cigarillos and one cop decided not to follow the proper police procedures. That is all it took for two people to bring down the city of Ferguson and cause injury and death to innocent people. Ferguson could be any city in the United Sates. Ferguson should be a wake up call to every police department in the United States.

Our own Charlie LeDuff, Fox2 News Detroit traveled to Ferguson to help the American people see what is going on in Ferguson.
