In pittsburgh the relationship between the police and the black community is far from being good it was in homewood an afroamerican neighborhood that the police shot leant forward. In these disadvantaged districts with high crime rates the gap between police and citizens is huge. We met these americans who live in poverty and who are the first victims of police abuse. People are more afraid of police than of criminals. Faced with this fear the Community Gets organized after school the younger out there in the house they only even home which and are between ten and sixteen years of age but you guys can make. Sure we pass aside issues around. So we can get started were going to have or not succumbing to the teacher is like the big brother this situation is hard to believe but hes teaching them how to protect themselves from the police. Dont save your pants. Because with that youre fitting into a stereotype thats the kind of stuff dick can avoid to keep you out of any kind of situation or keep you out of trouble or not go horrible on you just because were not. Were dormant because i dont want to be an x. Person that we pull you to as some i just got killed by a police officer. Because that can happen remember tamia rice there we talk about the kid in cleveland its twelve years old doing it with. Who ordered twelve and here. Whos two zero. Bro that couldve been you know man. That couldve been one of either your three that could have been you know he has three teaches a part of an indian for the protection of the black Community Based on they attend this cost twice a month were here because we saw the need to educate the young people who are community on things that really matter and their lives are things that can really save their lives or we see the police behind us we usually put mace or seatbelts on we look straight forward we know not to turn around or do the proper approach you know gradually do pull you over try to be polite no matter what the situation or how you occurs whatever officers on duty how they feel. Personally you just got to go off of just purrs and hope you can find a way out the situation a lot of people look at it as a threat they think they were all violent or all criminals and things like that so just try to be respectful and carry yourself differently just so people on first they will look at you different if you carry yourself to. The young people who listen carefully to the advice i terrified at the thought of meeting the police. I feel i do a bigger split in the people on around me now. Do you feel safe when you have to go to school to look into play because in the past so many people have been in jail for doing nothing when there are some police i suppose and i know one thing. You can see something happening in this is like i dont want to call the cops well. Because well its a its a day where the fight is an assault and something happens and a group of people are fighting i would rather put in even if i cant see let that happen rather than call the cops and then those young black men lose their lives. If the trade it is because theyre constantly controlled without reason in the classroom to have. Has already been stopped just industry its baedeker its. Them but i mean it on. The way to our. Minds i mean was the water at that point for four or five times. The rich reason doesnt it just walking. The walk home of friends and. Family see a lot of walking home alone on a clogged this. Familys house just on the porch noticed on the stump and the reason. And the story goes on and all the neighborhood. Does for nothing goes walking down the street. In my lifetime lets say maybe. Six or seven times so theres a whole lot of ill be all about police im not there like i get pulled over for you know what have i done wrong. I cant even tell you hes not stopped thats more than i can i can count but you mean it ten times. Maybe. Ten eleven twelve i dont count i dont know i dont keep track of it. In the us the police is allowed to stop any passes by if it suspects a risk or criminal threats according to the agents this practice is a way to prevent crime but from Professor James browns point of view it increases the risk of making huge blunders the idea was you want to increase the contact between the police and only certain public you know not everybody is mostly folks in high crime or poor urban communities any time you increase the contact between police and citizens. You are increased the likelihood that something can go. In two thousand and thirteen in pittsburgh half of the time these controls did not lead to any arrests and blacks who represent twenty six percent of the population were controlled in sixty two percent of cases like. This practice had its heyday in new york in two thousand and eleven where the Police Record a nearly choose thousand checks a day in one cases out of ten they were unjustified and as always those who are most targeted where the black people. In the figures are vocal but no policeman dares to admit it. Ive. Yet former officer has agreed to break the silence his assessment is alarming the hunt for black people in which he participated is part of a racist system that he condemns today. Bravely wastes lives out in the countryside far from philadelphia where he said for twenty three years. Now retired he insisted on putting on his uniform to reveal the opening races practices of his former colleagues the first thing he denounces is a quote over arrests imposed on us police in many large cities this race for numbers pushes them to control black people for no reason quotas lito arrests for no reason that isnt credibly. Disgusting they would take a persons freedom away to meet a quota. Minorities have no one to call if there are only arrested the white person will call their local Political Committee man a person theyll call the parents perhaps of a teenager well call the local politician you know whats going on here my child was arrested just because he didnt have his license why dont you just tell him to go home and get his license and things like so the white person has more power but people have no connection to the people in power so you know theres not going to be any. Blowback on arresting a minority because they dont have any power to complain and after americans an attorney unjustly arrested theyre not cheated with the same respect as the white people on iran because nobody else around again if you stop somebody from going through like it was a out of your car out of your car show me id you would say that to a white person you would go up and say. May i see your drivers license please and blacks know that blacks know when you look so out of your car now and then they say well what did i do it dont what did i do dont say that dont ask me why im stopping you i said get out of the car and thats right there is your first disrespect and i saw that happening and blacks know its happening they know its not happening to white people so automatically they start resenting the police just from Little Things command verbal commands let alone the physicality of grabbing somebody and putting them in handcuffs while you check their id unfortunately when i. Would tell other officers well thats enough is enough then they would think they would argue. And and for the word what are you an and lover and and for and. In front of a camera that used between policeman is unpronounceable for a race since here a child he complains openly against the racist behavior of the police the former officer has even made a very explicit. Hey everybody im Stephen Baldwin tast hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all im just george bush and r. V. News story this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different im not. Going to learn a thing or windows up with all the drama happening in our country im shooting the brood have fun meet everyday americans. And hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the Great American people. Hello my names peter and ive been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things ive got in the time. When youre going to get up yet. I mean you guys are just published or did you cry because if i had such a tough. I still did not see the submission. Absent. Own ass writing exists in that way to let it. I was ten twenty list thats out. I mean you. Could do for you what it would be its not but showing you dont need you to blush its enough that i told you. Both that nasa yes took only one last check the stuff. You do from a jewish point your mind. You think you know the fear of missing discussed the custos theorem in just over young. Im asking police and open season stop shooting black man just like theyre some kind of animal they were going to be that white now why they have. They devalue the black man the black man is well lets put it this way in driving down a street in philadelphia on a hot friday night in august i was with a partner and of course hot august night in philadelphia its a lot of people dont have air conditioning in and theyre outside so theres a lot of people outside on the steps in the street and if were writing down my partner says well the roaches are out tonight the what roaches cockroaches theyre little. Bugs to crawl into floor theyre always like that i can garbage and its a very derogatory term roach the roaches are out tonight so if you view. People as a roach as an insect an undesirable very undesirable insect. Youre going to be able to shoot them much easier than you would a person that you value hire a white person perspective that the time maybe was did not know how to respond to the violence against the black people and he even got carried away by it that was. Something that i became hard and somewhat so that i was not an angel. I use an excess of force and i. Slap somebody when he said something really insulting to me and after i did that i realized wow i should that i had no right to do that that was not professional was it not i was not professional was not human about a week later. Another incident occurred and i used more force than i needed. After the guy was handcuffed i grab more pushed him up against the wall and i said dont you dare do you understand and i realize this is a disease im starting to develop. What is saying really wish is not specific to philadelphia agents. In march this year the ministry of justice published an alarming reports about the Ferguson Police more than one hundred pages show how the police violated the rights of black residents in the city. Of racism with the American Police has become such a big issue that a conscious awakening in some police stations has started we are in norwalk connecticut. Going back to school with in small unit growth for three days these twenty five offices well learn how to get rid of a racist pig judges says this optional training is given by two former agents their mission is a challenge to make these offices understand that they too have to judge this is what were going to learn today is it a possibility that everyone in this room has biased has placed in a biased manner and you dont even know that youve done it i can tell you the story youll hear from me is i helped police in the biased manner i know that now didnt realize that twenty or thirty years ago this lady trainer uses her test and experience as an example in role playing in the first simulation the suspect is a white woman. Officers are to be reporting party calls i reports theres a woman sitting on a bus stop across the street hes been robbed several times he thinks he may have gotten us to respond. Well the two offices have to control her. Blow ups or her you im well how are you good when suddenly grew out of that were going to have to come your husband your kids or just an accident over there you have to come here courtesy of her kids her kids and her husband were in your eyes all but i think written on your hat he was there like theyre leaving you not to come couple so ill fill in the confusion the two Police Officers let her go without even searching had the guy next in the area if we were replayed this right now are ok and somehow found or this time the train a chooses a black suspect what would happen automatically bronzer to grow their stuff and why this is the more likely you know that hes a person thats going to have a gun and so not likely and ill let him go. Talk about their perception of what they see is that so they dont then i dont let him go given that wanted to be would give to our selves even black officers get it the white woman had the weapon but the Police Arrested the unarmed black person more the lesson that the police whatever happens to tend to see black people as criminals but it is not easy for them to admit that they have races prejudge as. A lot of them certainly dont tell everybody doing all that you know not that i havent really thought about it you know for now so i dont know that i could. Accurate. Answer that question but you know maybe three days. Do you think thats after this training you are going to same sit to wait you all walk to know that because. I want to. Change the way im working with no part of the i will be more self will your training is designed to teach teach to teach us the rest of the Police Officers my karma to be. Your fair or impartial. Jury where we already are fair and impartial of thieves before fair or the head of this Department Office this training after the numerous cases of Police Violence throughout the country while this is not what this shows our community that were doing everything we can to make sure were policing in a fair manner is going to make our job easier the medias going to trust us more than everybody words so its really its a win win the only point on which this manager loses the price sixteen thousand dollars it is one of the most expensive optional courses the only case in which it is financed by the ministry of justice is when recent blunders were committed few agencies have been trained so far but since ferguson demand is soaring im going out and tell the end of the year and was trying to look into twenty fifteen this is my schedule so far. The n. Y. P. D. Has asked for the training its expected in pittsburgh this year. But is this a solution. Just a very visceral these are. The city of baltimore started training its Police Officers against racial prejudice last year despite that a young afroamerican died in april this year players or demonstrations for the protection of black people in the riots that shake the city images that suddenly reminds america if its past. The past that continues to haunt the country. In the southeast of the United States three hours from Atlanta America has a meeting with its own history on this form a land of slavery blacks did not have the same rights as whites. Fifty years ago the police were beating up blacks here. Fifty years ago Young African americans would not have had the right to walk on this bridge. The much that change the destiny of the black community is coming very to today the fight for black freedom to fight against racism to the right to vote like white people that. Little bad boy all right all right first of all. On sunday march seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty five on a bridge in selma six hundred africanamericans demonstrated peacefully to demand their right to vote. The state governor ordered the police to charge the activists. Over fifty people were taken to hospital. The event became a symbol. Here fifty years later the president and protesters are waiting for is black history acknowledgement has witnessed. In his speech barack obama makes an analogy between the come immigration and the recent events in the country. He admits that there is still a lot to be done. Of course the more common mistake is to suggest that. Ferguson is an isolated incident. That racism is better. Than the work that drew men and women to selma is now complete. We dont need the ferguson report to know thats not true. Where does need open our eyes and our ears and our hearts to know that this nations racial history still casts this long shadow upon us. On the bridge in selma many share the same feeling many still have the impression of living in a racist country. Black people are popular anywhere not in america not in france on any ice this is a little different because we were former slaves so that mentality is still there even though were not currently slaves we can still be viewed as slaves sometimes. And this white has a slogan black people icon breeze the last words of every gonna strangled by the n. Y. P. D. My god. Why do you wear this out today because we cant breathe either way because were black. Berry got his mother was also they. Have. To get up here to see to write a business and our great story this is a commemoration not a celebration and now we have to go forward with this we shouldnt stop until everybody gets justice you know justice in this city justice in every city you know because what happened on this bridge is similar to what happened to my son you know they had no because for our wives and. Kids and we didnt get jesse ship but were still pushing on with was still on just like were pushing on here weve got a story. Erica and his mother will continue to fight in order to sentence the policeman who killed her son it will not be easy to hand and for all those in selma today walking on this bridge is a way to continue the fight for justice and equality the fight that is unfortunate. The longer you have blunders and pretty soon. The United States has still very far from having sold their issue with racism. No ones ever no one has ever had and never even heard about most schools. Thank you. How does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world its as close to being a king as any job there is one Business Model helps to run a prison now we do this do or dont like a video visitation i dont know one comes anymore we dont have to serve them anymore is Cost Effective they wont do that loan they dont give a damn if you do the charge on that theyre actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u. S. N. Breach what she could is behind such success. Selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles that stole. The new socks for the tell you that because of the tabloid lifestyle the point is that this. Off the bat tell you on the cool enough to buy their product. All the hawks that we all are worth watching. Its the cradle of jazz. The america we. Know this jazz feel. The least. Close. Of street racing. But. Despite the fall of us in iraq thousands of people from the minority ethnic group. On the program here we speak to a fifteen Year Old Girl who is just a terrorist activities.
