I want a Blue Ribbon panel chaired Senator Cory Booker to end the violence against young black men.
The death of Michael Brown, Jr. should never have happened. Police over reacted to the call at the convenience store and it turned into confrontation of an unarmed black man. THEY KNEW HE WAS UNARMED. They knew from the video at the convenience store he was unarmed. Wilson knew from being close up and personal he was unarmed.
Michael Brown, Jr. knew no other way to act. His behavior was one of a young man with an anticipated change in his life going to the university and he was out of control.
What occurred in Ferguson in that police response was absolutely the worst response I have ever heard of.
Senator Booker is a former mayor of Newark. He has first hand information of how to change a "scared for their lives" community into a real community where by little dogs are taken out of the cold and into police cars until their owners return home on a cold and snowy night.
Senator Booker is probably the only person in the USA qualified to handle this problem. Make no mistake, this is a huge problem for the USA. It has to stop and the federal government has the obligation of finding the problem and addressing it to end the deaths of these young men.
I am horrified at the reality of Michael Brown, Jr.'s death. This is some of the worst police work anyone can imagine. The problem are the police, not the community. The community is simply reacting to the fear of their own children dying for no reason.
The violence was predictable. The President was correct in calling for peace, but, in all honesty, should these people simply allow such outcomes to their children?
The violence does not define these people, nor should it in the future. The President needs to seek answers for what happened in Ferguson. It is the police that are the problem.
Ferguson doesn't need gunmen as police they need peace officers.
I am scared to death for the African American community in the USA. I also feel powerless to do anything about it. I can only imagine how community after community feels today. Parents are beyond worry at this point.
When communities are faced with assault time after time and unable to change their circumstances, this is oppression, not policing.
