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
When president bush instituted it and president obama continued it, they didnt have an open discussion about whether the country should have such a program. And actually that seems to run through a little bit of yesterdays opinion by judge lynch. Even dick cheney. This is something that i discovered in writing this book that nobody had ever seen before. When he wrote his dissent in the irancontra matter, he said if you have a hard Foreign Policy or National Security issue, a wise president first would not engage in excessive secrecy, and, second, a wise president would have a full and open democratic discussion in which he would attempt to persuade the public of the need for validity of a broad program. The concept delineating between the number of people affected or how targets are picked, versus the program itself, i think is valuable, and it gets to a question that i would like a from everybody on. There is a trust problem that now exists, for whatever series of reasons. An example
Public of the need for validity of a broad program. The concept delineating between the number of people affected or how targets are picked, versus the program itself, i think is valuable, and it gets to a question that i would like a from everybody on. There is a trust problem that now exists, for whatever series of reasons. An example of a concern that i at least have was revealed through a usa today piece that came out last month that revealed that the dea had been conducting a Metadata Collection Program ten years before 9 11. One of the concerns and maybe this is pessimism or paranoia depending on who you ask, is that stopping a program like the telephone Metadata Collection Program that is ongoing under authority, how do we know it does not show up under another 30 . It is a sincere question that premuch everybody, because theres no reason to hold the community to such a paranoid standard, but how do we get to that point . I think this question is a real challenge because of the
