Shooting us. We have a case with a kid that was killed. Taser international does virtually all of the video in relation to the weapons, and they are getting rich in major lobbying. When were talking about body thinknd handson guns, about dealing with a multibilliondollar industry. Look for some black folks, otherwise, that do the same thing that have a more progressive agenda. Odbye, but i go say good luck in your communities with oversight. You must h because you must have oversight. If you dont have that, i mean more than a review board. Im not disagreeing but more than a review board. The late mayor of the city of detroit started the police commission. It has subpoena power. It deals with hiring. It deals with the facts that our problem is we are underdeveloped economically. And so, therefore, when jon jones in the rich suburb wind, like in bloomfield hills, i kid walks down the street with a gun, and because he is open carry rights, they dont shoot the kid, white kid. They dont tak
Street. Weve had cases in which we did testing. In the testing much like during the lunch counters in the 1960s. We sent welltrained people into Police Departments to ask for the form to complain about police misconduct. I can tell you go on the internet and i love google. Go on the internet and google these cases and what youll see is a young man well trained asking nicely for the report to fill out, but when they stood there, first, the desk sergeant said i wont give you a form unless you tell me what to complain about. He said i dont want to talk about it now. I want to take it home and fill it out. The sergeant said, i wont let you do that until you tell me. Its my responsibility to oversee the Police Officers. He said it nicely, i dont want to talk about it now. I just, police, sir, want to take it home and fill it out. While this was going on another Police Walked out the back door of the police station. He went around the corner to come in the front door. At the time the young m
Weekend, concrete solutions to stop this pattern. We need to ease racial tension in america by rebuilding our communities in a balanced way where everyone receives equal education. Thats where it starts. Job opportunities and a fair shot at the american dream. Equal education is where it starts, but the home is where it really starts, isnt it . Its the home. The sad truth about this kind of an incident is that its root causes are tied together with societal racism that brand black citizens as predators and Police Practice that treats them as potential perpetrators. Breeding distrust between Law Enforcement and the community that they are bound to protect. Responding to this destructive cycle requires a broadbased approach. To address Police Practices, i 3z proud to pass 42 usc 14141, the federal statute, as part of the 1994 crime bill to allow the department of justice to sue or provide local Police Departments with resources necessary to address dangerous and discriminatory practices
Patience. Im not usually running this late. But i understand that you have had some excellent presentations before me. I see a number of old friends, and hopefully new friends on this panel. Great voices all, in our common struggle. And so i think you have had excellent presentations and im just sorry that i had to miss so many of them. I am so looking forward to hearing the recap of this because there are so many important issues here. Dr. Gough, such a pleasure to meet you, your leadership at ucla on the center for policing equity is something that is not only vital, in terms of what we need today, it really is the key to a lot of the issues that we face. When im looking at the agenda for the entire cbc foundation events, i see so many different panels on so many different issues, but they all come together in regards to the central issue of our communitys relationships with Law Enforcement and with our government writ large. So many of the issues that you all are tackling all this w
We have an entity, its like a Public Safety entity that you can establish police authority. These these authorities are sometimes run by security guards. They are not police. We have a guy named dan gilbert buying up all the property in a detroit. He has a police authority, his own police force. In the future youre going to see more of that. More diminishment of what we call click safety in Law Enforcement. Click safety in Law Enforcement and more police authority. As we look at policing, we ought to expand our framework in terms of how we deal with this particular matter. Frankly, i dont use the term lease that much anymore. Term police that much anymore. I used click safety. I use click safety. Blick Public Safety. Started in what became the luncheon metropolitan the london metropolitans department in 1829. He said people are the police and the police are the people. We only allow them to do that. You have to put big mama back in the equation. You have to make sure that we resolve th
