Israel's PR War to Control the American Mind: Elites Remove Black Man from CNN & Threaten to 'Kaepernick him' at Temple Univ after Calling for 'Freeing Palestine' from Rule by Force in UN Speech

ABOVE Marc Lamont Hill SPOKE OF INVOLUNTARY RULERSHIP & WHITE SUPREMACY IN A SPEECH ABOUT GENOCIDAL ISRAEL. Dr. Amos Wilson explains, 'Any act or attitude on the part of Blacks which appears to White Americans to defy White authority, control or dominance is a problem to racists.' [MORE] In the context of media Ishmael Reed calls THE PROCESS of removing offending blacks, “nigger breaking.” HE STATES, “the media are as white as a KKK picnic." The media are a white owned enterprise with billions of dollars at their disposal. Most of the token Black, Latino and Asian -American commentators are those found non-threatening to the media's white subscribers and submissive to the editorial line coming from the top.. . . Major media effectively represent the interests of corporate America, and the media elite are the watchdogs of acceptable ideological messages, the parameters of news and information content and the general use of media resources."

“NGHR Breaking” [if you serve elites you can be replaced at anytime]. From [HERE] and [HERE] CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill was fired on Thursday, following comments he made about Israel, during a speech at a United Nations assembly.

Hill, a media studies professor at Temple University, in Pennsylvania, was criticized for calling for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea” during his speech.

The words drew criticism from several conservatives and advocates for Israel, who claimed that such remarks “echoed language used by Hamas and other groups that seek to eliminate Israel.”

Hill posted on his Twitter account, fighting back at the criticism, “I support Palestinian freedom. I support Palestinian self-determination. I am deeply critical of Israeli policy and practice. I do not support anti-Semitism, killing Jewish people, or any of the other things attributed to my speech. I have spent my life fighting these things.”

He added, “At no point did I endorse, support, or even mention Hamas. This is dishonest. I was very clear in my comments about desiring freedom, justice, and self-determination for EVERYONE.”

He also explained that the “river to the sea” phrase dates to the early 20th century and “has never been the exclusive province of a particular ideological camp.”

“This means that all areas of historic Palestine — e.g., West Bank, Gaza, Israel — must be spaces of freedom, safety, and peace for Palestinians.”

Hill stressed, “The idea that this is a Hamas phrase is simply untrue.”

Smeared as an anti-Semite and grotesquely and falsely accused of calling for genocide against Jews, Hill was fired from his role as a political commentator for CNN.

The same Israel lobby operatives who bullied CNN into ending Hill’s contract are also demanding that he be fired from his teaching position. The chairman of Temple University's board came out firing Friday. Patrick O'Connor, [proxymoron and racist suspect in photo] called Hill's remarks "lamentable" and "disgusting." "It should be made clear that no one at Temple is happy with his comments," said O'Connor, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. "Free speech is one thing. Hate speech is entirely different." [MORE]

Thus far the university has rebuffed these calls, citing Hill’s “constitutionally protected right to express his opinion as a private citizen.”

The accusations against Marc Lamont Hill are outright lies promoted by high-level operatives of the Israel lobby in their latest effort to silence and punish anyone who dares speak out in support of Palestinian equality and freedom from Israel’s brutal regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.

They perfectly match the kind of smear and sabotage tactics revealed in the censored Al Jazeera documentary on the US Israel lobby that was recently published in full by The Electronic Intifada.

Israel and its lobby see solidarity for Palestine from Black people as a particularly dangerous threat to be combatted with special zeal. It is no wonder that Jackie Walker, a Black Jewish anti-Zionist activist in Britain’s Labour Party, has likened the years-long smear campaign targeted at her by the Israel lobby to a lynching.

Above is the full video of Hill’s UN speech, published by the anti-Palestinian group UN Watch, no doubt in an effort to embarrass him - that backfired.

You can also read a transcript.

Anyone familiar with Israel lobby defamation campaigns will not be surprised to learn that there is not one word of bigotry and of course nothing that can remotely be construed as a call for genocide.

Dr. Blynd explains Media - A mind shampoo and conditioning process of the Greater System --" the media is the mirage."

Amos Wilson states, "the central aim of the ruling elite's ideology process is to define the "domain of discourse." That is, the corporate elite seeks to define the limits of "acceptable ideas" and to define what is worth talking about, worth learning, teaching, promoting, and writing about. Of course, the limits of the "acceptable," the "responsible," are set at those points which support and justify the interests of the elite itself." He explains, "they choose what issues and information are to be emphasized, to be ignored or suppressed. Consequently, they create visibility and legitimacy for certain persons, groups and opinions and thereby impose limits on public knowledge, interest, discourse, understanding, behavioral orientation and capability. These contentions can be solidly substantiated by an analysis not only of the ownership and control of the mass media but even more relevant, of their general programmatic content." [MORE]

Real solidarity

Rather, Marc Lamont Hill commits an even more unforgivable thought crime in the eyes of Israel and its lobby: he calls for effective solidarity with the Palestinian people on the basis that the full range of rights contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should apply to them no less than to any other people.

Hill also draws on the Black history of struggle against American state racism as a source of inspiration for that solidarity. His own words are worth quoting at length:

As a Black American, my understanding of action and solidarity action is rooted in our own tradition of struggle. As Black Americans resisted slavery, as well as Jim Crow laws that transformed us from a slave state to an apartheid state, we did so through multiple tactics and strategies. It is this array of tactics that I appeal to as I advocate for concrete action from all of us in this room.

Solidarity from the international community demands that we embrace boycotts, divestment, and sanctions as a critical means by which to hold Israel accountable for its treatment of Palestinian people. This movement, which emerges out of the overwhelming majority of Palestinian civil society offers a nonviolent means by which to demand a return to the pre-1967 borders, full rights for Palestinian citizens and the right of return as dictated by international law.

Solidarity demands that we no longer allow politicians or political parties to remain silent on the question of Palestine. We can no longer in particular allow the political left to remain radical or even progressive on every issue from the environment to war to the economy. To remain progressive on every issue except for Palestine.

Contrary to Western mythology, Black resistance to American apartheid did not come purely through Gandhi and nonviolence. Rather, slave revolts and self-defense and tactics otherwise divergent from Dr. [Martin Luther] King or Mahatma Gandhi were equally important to preserving safety and attaining freedom.

We must allow – if we are to operate in true solidarity with Palestinian people, we must allow the Palestinian people the same range of opportunity and political possibility.

If we are standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, we must recognize the right of an occupied people to defend itself. We must prioritize peace. But we must not romanticize or fetishize it.

We must advocate and promote nonviolence at every opportunity, but we cannot endorse a narrow politics of respectability that shames Palestinians for resisting, for refusing to do nothing in the face of state violence and ethnic cleansing.

Hill ended his speech with a call for “a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”

The political lynch mob tried to spin these words as a genocidal call for the destruction of Israel.

But they are a simple recognition of reality: historic Palestine – what is today Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip – is not free between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

"Feel Free to Say Nothing" & Keep Your Thought Crimes to Yourself: Fed Agency Claims it is Unlawful for Federal Employees to Discuss Trump Impeachment or Politics at Work, Issues Warning

“FEEL FREE TO SAY NOTHING.” From [HERE] At workplaces across the United States, it is routine for Americans’ conversations to turn to President Trump — whether his policies are good, whether he should be impeached, what to think about the “resistance.” Some drink from MAGA mugs; others tape cartoons to their cubicle walls portraying Mr. Trump as a Russian quisling.

But roughly two million people who work for the federal government have now been told that it may be illegal for them to participate in such discussions at work — a pronouncement that legal specialists say breaks new ground, and that some criticized as going too far.

Generally, federal employees have been free to express opinions about policies and legislative activity at work as long as they do not advocate voting for or against particular candidates in partisan elections. But in a guidance document distributed on Wednesday, the independent agency that enforces the Hatch Act, a law that bars federal employees from taking part in partisan political campaigns at work or in an official capacity, warned that making or displaying statements at work about impeaching or resisting Mr. Trump is likely to amount to illegal political activity.

[Read the new Hatch Act guidance.]

The guidance was issued by the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that enforces the Hatch Act, including by investigating complaints of improper political activity and recommending discipline — like a reprimand or firing — for violators. The agency also enforces the Hatch Act against state and local government officials whose salaries come from federal grants.

(The agency, led by Henry Kerner, is not related to Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel appointed by the Justice Department to investigate whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia during its interference in the 2016 election.)

The reasoning behind the guidance centers on the fact that Mr. Trump is already running for re-election in 2020. It contends that arguments about his policies or impeachment prospects are effectively statements in support or opposition to his campaign.

“We understand that the ‘resistance’ and ‘#resist’ originally gained prominence shortly after President Trump’s election in 2016 and generally related to efforts to oppose administration policies,” the guidance said. “However, ‘resistance,’ ‘#resist’ and similar terms have become inextricably linked with the electoral success (or failure) of the president.”

And while impeachment is primarily about removing a president from office, the agency said that because a removed president would also apparently become disqualified from holding federal office in the future, supporting or opposing Mr. Trump’s impeachment amounts to taking a stand on his potential re-election.

Cop’s Partner & Witness said although Brandon Jones was Restrained & Didn’t Move, Mentacidal [kkk mind] Black Cop Fatally Shot Black Teen @ Close Range: Cleveland Settles Suit for $910k

Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination. From [HERE] The City of Cleveland settled a lawsuit Thursday with the family of Brandon Jones, an unarmed black teen who was shot and killed by police in March of 2015.

The city and Jones' family reached a settlement of $910,000 after a marathon of mediation, according to the family's attorney Paul Cristallo.

It was reported that on March 19, 2015, Brandon broke into an unoccupied corner store at or near the intersection of Parkwood Drive and Primrose Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. An eyewitness observed Brandon enter the store and called the Cleveland Police.

According to an eyewitness, Cleveland Police officers Alan Buford and Greg King apprehended Brandon almost immediately after he walked out of the store.

Also according to the eyewitness, Brandon was not struggling, fighting, attempting to flee or reaching for a weapon. Despite the fact that Brandon had been seized and was unarmed, Officer Buford, holding his service pistol and yelling at Brandon, pulled the trigger of his gun and shot Brandon.

Specifically, Buford held his service weapon in one hand while holding onto Brandon with the other. According the complaint, Brandon’s hands were visible and it was obvious that he did not have a weapon. While Brandon was restrained by Buford and King, Buford pulled the trigger of his gun and fired one shot, striking Brandon in the upper torso. Buford’s shot perforated Brandon’s lung and caused fatal injuries.

Brandon Jones was pronounced dead on March 19, 2015, six days before his nineteenth birthday. He had taken loose change and some cigarettes from the corner store.

Buford, who was fired for violating the department's use of force policy was given his job back in October.

He was charged with negligent homicide following the shooting. During the trial Officer Gregory King testified that his partner, officer Alan Buford, should have never fired the shot that killed Brandon Jones on March 19, 2015.

King said Buford fired the deadly shot within seconds of the officers grabbing Jones as he walked out of the Parkwood Grocery store with a bag of stolen cigarettes, junk food and other items.  

"Did you ever at any point fear enough for your life to use deadly force?" Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Brian Radigan asked.  

"No," King answered.

King's answer brought audible gasps from Jones' parents, who wept at times during the testimony.  King was visibly uncomfortable during his testimony and squirmed in his chair as he explained in open court that he never feared for his life while trying to arrest Jones. Nevertheless, Cleveland Municipal Judge Michael Sliwinski, a racist suspect [in photo], found him not guilty of the charge. [MORE]

Lawsuit Claims Anaheim Cops Piled on Latino Man and Beat Him to Death. Govt Refuses to Disclose Video from 13 Bodycams. Cop Admitted "He had to be held down w/his head to the concrete"

From [HERE] The family of a 35-year-old man killed following a struggle with Anaheim police in March filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city Thursday.

The lawsuit filed in Orange County Superior Court by the family of Christopher Eisinger also alleges assault and battery, negligence and a violation of the Bane Act. Eisinger encountered police the evening of March 2 as they responded to a call of possible break-ins to a home and several vehicles.

Police said officers responding to the call spotted Eisinger in a backyard in the 1300 block of South East Gates Street, and a foot chase ensued to the 3000 block of West Ball Road. Police reported in March that he "violently" resisted by kicking and ripping his arms away. Officers used "control holds and physical force" to restrain him.

Eisinger had a criminal history of drug use and resisting arrest, according to court records. Eisinger was taken to West Anaheim Medical Center initially and was later moved to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, where he was disconnected from life support after he was declared brain dead March 10. The family filed a claim with the city, but the city has not yet responded, attorneys for the Eisingers said.

The city has also denied requests for evidence from body-worn cameras of the officers involved in the arrest.

"The lack of transparency is becoming a real problem in preventing the family from getting any closure or answers, so we're hopeful the filing of this wrongful death lawsuit will expedite the family's getting closure that they deserve," attorney Eric Dubin said.

"The police department has the answers in 13 body-worn cameras and they have not released any of them for eight months, and the truth lies in those body-worn cameras, and this mother needs to find out what happened to their son that day."

Attorney Annee Della Donna said about a half-dozen officers pushed the suspect onto his stomach with one officer allegedly saying to keep him down "until he stops moving and wears himself out."

"That's absolutely against any police protocol anywhere,'' Della Donna said. "If you hold someone down too long and compress their airways they will go into cardiac arrest and die.'' Dubin said, "Chris' final word was 'breathe.'"

An emergency room doctor jotted down a note that one of the officers who brought Eisinger in said, "He had to be held down with his head to the concrete because he was wiggling," Della Donna said. "You know that if she wrote that down it was exactly what he told her."

Dubin argued that the officer's observation "was an admission by the officer that there was no resistance or fighting from Chris. It was a man trying to live, to breath with upward of six officers piled up on top of him... There was absolutely no safety risk to the officers or anyone around. This is a killing that never should have happened."

Eisinger's face was "fractured in three places and his eye socket was compressed so much his eyeball was coming out of the socket," Della Donna said.

Della Donna argued that the police have no right to withhold the body- worn camera evidence because the cameras were acquired with a grant from the state.

"They don't own the cameras, they are the public's evidence, not the police evidence," Della Donna said.

The attorneys also said that Eisinger told the officers "don't shoot me" before he was taken down.

"At that point you handcuff him, you don't pile on five deep until he stops breathing," Dubin said.

[laws are threats backed by Force. At the end of a chain of threats is Govt Violence] Suit Claims Slow Driving Latino Man Posed No Threat But When He Refused to Pull Over Torrance Cops Shot Him 23X

government is a coercive institution. As these examples illustrate, commands are often enforced with threats to issue further commands, yet that cannot be all there is to it. At the end of the chain must come a threat that the violator literally cannot defy. The system as a whole must be anchored by a non-voluntary intervention, a harm that the state can impose regardless of the individual’s choices.

From [HERE] and [HERE] The father of a Latino man fatally shot by Torrance police in 2017 is suing the city for wrongful death, alleging his son was shot more than 20 times at the end of a vehicle pursuit even though he posed no threat.

Victor Reyes' Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit also alleges battery civil rights violations in the killing of his offspring, 44-year-old Michael Lopez of San Gabriel. The complaint was brought Nov. 9 and seeks unspecified damages. The lawsuit accuses the city of a “practice of inaction and an attitude of indifference toward soaring numbers of excessive force” incidents by the Torrance Police Department.

Lopez, who was unarmed, died on Oct. 14, 2017, after being shot in the 2800 block of Sepulveda Boulevard after police used a PIT maneuver to end a slow-speed pursuit, the suit states.

Torrance police spotted Lopez, who was driving a green Ford Ranger and was believed to be under the influence, and tried to pull him over about 2 a.m., according to a news release. Lopez refused to stop, and police followed him as he slowly fled from them.

While the chase was in progress, Lopez did not hit any pedestrians or vehicles, nor did he present any imminent danger to anyone, the suit states.

Police twice tried to stop Lopez by hitting the back of his truck in an effort to send it into a spin, a tactic known as a Pursuit Intervention Technique, or a PIT maneuver. The second attempt ended in the 2800 block of Sepulveda Boulevard, where police shot Lopez. [MORE]

The suit alleges officers used excessive force by shooting Lopez at least 23 times. The complaint further accuses the city and Police Chief Eve Irvine of failing to properly train the officers on how to use proper levels of force as well as condoning the filing of false police reports and the planting of evidence to cover up misconduct.

In the Blackest City in the Country (NYC) the American Arbitration Association Can’t Find Black Arbitrators? Jay-Z Claims Procedures Deny Him Equal Protection & Asks Court to Halt Licensing Case

From [HERE] In an ongoing $200 million legal fight, the hip-hop mogul nods to the lack of black arbitrators at AAA and argues that an arbitration clause violates New York's public policy.

Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter) is testing out a novel argument in a bid to halt arbitration in his company's licensing dispute with Iconix Brand Group. In a petition filed in New York Supreme Court on Wednesday, the hip-hop mogul argues that a failure of diversity on the part of the American Arbitration Association means he shouldn't have to be compelled to arbitrate at the alternative dispute resolution forum.

"This blatant failure of the AAA to ensure a diverse slate of arbitrators for complex commercial cases is particularly shocking given the prevalence of mandatory arbitration provisions in commercial contracts across nearly all industries, which undoubtedly include minority owned and operated businesses," states the petition handled by litigator Alex Spiro and other attorneys at the high-profile firm Quinn Emanuel. "The AAA’s arbitration procedures, and specifically its roster of neutrals for large and complex cases in New York, deprive black litigants like Mr. Carter and his companies of the equal protection of the laws, equal access to public accommodations, and mislead consumers into believing that they will receive a fair and impartial adjudication."

[The apparent lack of black arbitrators defies statistical probability in NYC, a city with the largest Black population in the country with 2,829,883 Black people comprising 14.4% of the total population. [MORE] Similarly, but in a different legal context, white prosecutors in NYC assembled an entirely all white grand jury that declined to prosecute a white cop who murdered Eric Garner [although a gang of white cops were involved white prosecutors only subjected 1 cop to the grand jury they sabotaged]. Such is the nature of the system of racism/white supremacy. Dr. Bobby Wright observed “everywhere one finds Whites and Blacks in close proximity to each other, whether it is Chicago or Zimbabwe, the Whites are in control.” [MORE]

Iconix sued in public court and alleged it had spent over $200 million a decade ago to sell "Roc Nation" baseball caps and other merchandise. The company claimed that Jay-Z has undermined the agreement by using or allowing Major League Baseball to exploit the same intellectual property that was conveyed in the deal.

Jay-Z fired back with counterclaims. Roc Nation takes the position that it wasn't part of the deal and that a predecessor company gave Iconix a "limited category of goods" subject to quality control and other conditions. Jay-Z is alleging that Iconix breached an implied license.

Although an aspect of this $200 million dispute has now been submitted to arbitration by Iconix on Oct. 1, the case has remained quite public thanks to Jay-Z being ordered to testify earlier this year as the SEC probed whether Iconix violated federal securities laws related to financial reporting obligations. No criminal charges have yet to be filed.

In court papers in support of a motion to stay the arbitration, Jay-Z says that Iconix has commenced arbitration to increase pressure on defendants in the trademark case and demand financial information. The arbitration results from an earlier settlement agreement that preceded the litigation and evidently contained a clause that provided certain disputes would be adjudicated at AAA.

"After a preliminary conference with the AAA, Mr. Carter and his companies sought to choose an arbitrator pursuant to the parties’ agreement, which required consultation of a list of more than 200 prospective neutrals who specialize in 'Large and Complex Cases,'" writes Spiro. "When Mr. Carter began reviewing arbitrators on the AAA’s Search Platform, however, he was confronted with a stark reality: he could not identify a single African-American arbitrator on the 'Large and Complex Cases' roster, composed of hundreds of arbitrators, that had the background and experience to preside over the Arbitration. After repeated requests to the AAA for diverse arbitrators with expertise in complex commercial law, the AAA was able to provide only three neutrals it identified as African-American: two men — one of whom was a partner at the law firm representing Iconix in this arbitration and thus had a glaringly obvious conflict of interest — and one woman."

Jay-Z is now alleging that the arbitration clause violates New York's public policy against racial discrimination.

Global System of White Supremacy: Study Finds Black People Living in the European Union Face Racism in All Areas of People Activity

From [HERE] and [HERE] Black people in the EU face unacceptable difficulties in simply finding somewhere to live or getting a decent job because of their skin colour, according to findings from a major repeat survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. Racist harassment also remains all too common.

“In the 21st century, there is no excuse for racial discrimination. Yet black people in the EU today are still victims of widespread and unacceptable levels of discrimination and harassment simply because of their skin colour,” says FRA Director Michael O’Flaherty. “We need to stamp this out once and for all. For this, Member States need effective and targeted policies and laws to ensure black people are fully included in our society.”

The Being Black in the EU report reveals the many challenges black people face.

Take racial harassment: 30% of respondents say they have been racially harassed in the last five years; 5% have been physically attacked. Member States should therefore make greater efforts to better support victims of racism and to properly prosecute perpetrators.

Racial discrimination also remains problematic. Around a quarter of black people experienced racial discrimination at work or when looking for work. Young black people are especially vulnerable; in some countries, up to 76% are not in work, education or training compared to 8% of the general population. Member States should therefore develop targeted measures to counter such discrimination. This could include diversity audits in workplaces and public sector recruitment drives among black people.

Housing is another issue: 14% of respondents say private landlords will not rent accommodation to them. This is especially problematic, as only 15% own property, as opposed to 70% of the EU’s general population. In addition, 45% live in overcrowded housing compared to 17% of the general population, pointing to the need for Member States to improve the quality of housing and to eradicate housing exclusion.

Discriminatory profiling in police stops is also an issue: 24% of respondents were stopped by the police in the last five years. Among those stopped, 41% felt the stop constituted racial profiling, which undermines trust in policing and community relations. To counter this, Member States should develop specific, practical guidance for police officers so they can avoid unlawful profiling – FRA’s will publish a guide on how to avoid unlawful profiling on 5 December. Guidance on community policing would also help.

This report examines the experiences of nearly 6,000 black people in 12 EU Member States, as part of FRA’s 2nd EU Minorities and Discrimination survey. It collected information from over 25,500 people with an immigrant or ethnic minority background, including Roma and Russians, in all 28 EU Member States. It builds on FRA’s first such survey from 2008.

NYT Times Article About White Population Losing Their Majority Status Ignores the Reality Fueling Racism: White plus Black = Colored, White plus Brown = Colored & White plus Yellow = Colored

Can You be Superior & Have Recessive Genes at the Same Time? NYT Times article Why the Announcement of a Looming White Minority Makes Demographers Nervous ignores reality that white folks are an endangered species and their lack of skin color and melanin is an anomaly. 90% of the world is non-white and growing.

FUNKTIONARY explains that a "Caucasian" - is "One whose worst and most basic fear still remains genetic annihilation in the form of the fear of the impending "Black Planet." Whither goest thou white man? (See: Weiteko Disease, Yurungu, Western Civilization, Recessive Genes, Colored People, Melanin & Mutant). 

As stated by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, white people are vulnerable to their sense of numerical inadequacy. Most white people consciously or subconsciously understand the following;

• White plus Black equals Colored.

• White plus Brown equals Colored.

• White plus Yellow equals Colored.

The declining white population is not a new or reversible trend - the decline has only quickened. Although rarely discussed, white people are genetic recessive. It is scientific fact that Black is a genetically dominant trait. Whenever Black mixes with White, which is a recessive genetic trait, Black will dominate. In general, this means "whites" cannot reproduce a white child when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The so-called white "race" can and eventually will be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermixing with non-whites. As white populations have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging. And this scares some racists to death. [MORE]

The above formula is the meaning of what "you will not replace us" and "‘Europe Will Be White." It also is what "Clean Blood’ is referring to - clean white blood.

As far as racists are concerned "replacement" is in fact what is occurring in the US & abroad. Persons who classify themselves as White make up less than 10% of the world's population and their numbers are shrinking fast. That is, 90% of the world population of 7 billion people are non-white. 

White people are vastly outnumbered throughout the world and this scares some racists, fueling racism. A recent Reuters poll reflects white people fear of replacement as 31% of participants agreed "America must protect and preserve its White European heritage” and 39 percent agreed with the statement that “White people are currently under attack in this country.” [MORE]

Dr. Welsing explained that [among other things] numerical inadequacy drives white folks to practice racism - to survive and to maintain control of non-whites. [MORE]. Her color confrontation theory explained that the more the white population shrinks the worse its conduct toward non-whites will get. Racists practice racism to survive, it is a strategy for white genetic survival.

By the 2018 midterms, it was clear that Trump’s base in the white working class isn’t the only fount of prejudice. White voters without a college degree (which generally confers higher income) support the president more than college-educated whites. But almost four in 10 of the latter back him, too. On Election Day, while Democrats won the House, millions of voters either backed white supremacists or their enablers who stand by any candidate with an R after his name.

An avalanche of other evidence proves that the Trump movement runs on racial fumes:

A nationally representative survey of millennials last year found that 41 percent of white ones voted for Trump because they believed whites were losing out to non-whites — and that resentment of the latter drove the perception, even among educated, employed, better-off whites.

A study published during the 2016 race found that “reminding white Americans high in ethnic identification that non-white racial groups will outnumber whites in the United States by 2042 caused them to become more concerned about the declining status and influence of white Americans as a group ... and caused them to report increased support for Trump and anti-immigrant policies, as well as greater opposition to political correctness."

Pew Study Says the Number of Non-White Immigrants Living in the US Illegally Fell to its Lowest Level in More Than a Decade

From [HERE] Amid the current headlines about migrant caravans and an "invasion" of unauthorized immigrants, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally actually fell to its lowest level in more than a decade, a new study finds.

The study, by the Pew Research Center, is based on 2016 government data. It estimates that there were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. that year. That's down from a high point of 12.2 million in 2007.

The study's authors say the dramatic drop is "due almost entirely to a sharp decline in the number of Mexicans entering the country without authorization."

Yet as illegal immigration from Mexico declines, the study says there is a growing number of unauthorized immigrants from Central America's "Northern Triangle" countries — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The number of unauthorized immigrants from Central America increased by 375,000 between 2007 and 2016, to a total of 1.85 million people, says the study.

The report comes after a far greater estimate of the number of unauthorized immigrants was made by researchers at Yale University in September. That study found that there are 22 million unauthorized immigrants, or more than twice as many as estimated by Pew.

Mark Lopez, Pew Research Center's director of global migration and demography, declined to comment on the Yale findings except to say that his group relies on research methods used by the Department of Homeland Security as well as nongovernmental organizations such as the Center for Migration Studies and the Migration Policy Institute, whose estimates generally align with Pew's findings.

The Pew study finds not only a decline in the total number of unauthorized immigrants but also fewer recent arrivals. The study defines a "recent arrival" as someone who came to live in this country in the past five years. In 2007, 32 percent of all unauthorized immigrants were recent arrivals. In 2016, only 20 percent had arrived in the previous five years.

That has implications for the legal status of their families, the study suggests:

"As their typical span of U.S. residence has grown, a rising share of unauthorized immigrant adults—43 percent in 2016 compared with 32 percent in 2007—live in households with U.S.-born children."

The study estimates that 5 million U.S.-born children live with unauthorized immigrant parents in what sociologists and demographers refer to as "mixed-status households."

A rising share of unauthorized immigrants arrive legally, but overstay their visas, according to Pew.

"There is growing evidence about immigrants with expired visas from recent analyses by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which has produced three annual reports since 2016 analyzing statistics on the origins of immigrants who overstay and the types of visas they held. The latest report, for the 2017 fiscal year, estimated that more than 700,000 overstays should have left sometime during the year ending Sept. 30, 2017."

"Not only is the unauthorized immigrant population smaller than a decade ago, it also includes a different mix of people — fewer Mexicans, fewer workers, more Central Americans," said Lopez.

Arizona Supreme Court Ruled that Native American Tribe Does Not have a Claim Against the Arizona Snowbowl Resort for Using Artificial Snow Made from Sewage on Public Land Sacred to the Tribe

From [HERE] The Arizona Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Hopi Tribe does not have a claim against the Arizona Snowbowl Resort for the resort’s use of artificial snow on public land sacred to the tribe.

“Today we hold, as a matter of law, that environmental damage to public land with religious, cultural, or emotional significance to the plaintiff is not special injury for public nuisance purposes,” said the court.

The Arizona Snowbowl Resort manufactures snow from reclaimed wastewater. According to the plaintiff’s complaint, reclaimed wastewater is “water that has been used and circulated through the City’s municipal water sewer system, has passed through a treatment facility, and meets certain standards.” The plaintiff alleged that the snow will cause runoff and air pollution, affecting the Tribe’s ability to hunt and use the land in ceremonies.

As of today, Snowbowl has received permission from the U.S. Forest Service to make snow from water trucked from an unidentified source, in an attempt to make more money during Spring Break.

Although the court of appeals said that the plaintiff was able to show a “special injury,” the state supreme court vacated the lower ruling. The Arizona Supreme Court said that a “special injury” must show an injury different in kind from the general public, not just in degree. The Hopi Tribe did not meet this burden according to the court. The court went on to cite US Supreme Court decisions ruling “giving one religious sect a veto over the use of public park land would deprive others of the right to use what is, by definition, land that belongs to everyone.”

Dallas Grand Jury Charges White Cop with Murder for Shooting Botham Jean after Unlawfully Entering His Apartment: Cop's Atty says it was Reasonable To Believe Black Man Broke in & was Watching TV

From [HERE] A white Dallas police officer was indicted on a murder charge on Friday for shooting an unarmed, 26-year-old African-American accountant who was watching TV in his apartment, a home that the officer says she mistook as her own.

A Dallas County grand jury charged Amber R. Guyger, 30, over the Sept. 6 killing of Botham Jean in his apartment, which was one floor above hers. If convicted, Ms. Guyger could receive five years to life in prison.

Ms. Guyger, a white officer who was returning from her shift but dressed in uniform at the time, said that she mistook Mr. Jean’s apartment for her own, that his door was slightly ajar and that it opened when she tried to unlock it. She thought he was a burglar, she said.

Lawyers for Mr. Jean’s family have said that the door was closed, and that neighbors heard someone banging on the door, demanding to be let in, before the gun was fired. Ms. Guyger fired her service weapon twice, striking Mr. Jean once in the torso, according to court documents. Mr. Jean, who worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers, died at a hospital.

“I’m not surprised that there was an indictment returned, due to what I perceived to be a tremendous amount of outside political pressure, a tremendous outpouring of vindictive emotion towards my client, and actual emotion that I believe was injected into the grand jury process,” Mr. Rogers said in an interview.

Mr. Rogers said Ms. Guyger was not guilty because she believed that she was inside her apartment that night.

“I believe it was reasonable for her to believe that she was being threatened with an intruder in her home and therefore she acted in self-defense,” he said. “The law justifies her actions.”

Chief U. Reneé Hall of the Dallas Police Department fired Ms. Guyger after her arrest in Mr. Jean’s killing and an internal investigation. The department said that she was “terminated for her actions” during her arrest on manslaughter charges.

“We cannot have this culture where we shoot first and ask questions later,” said Daryl K. Washington, a lawyer for the Jean family, after the indictment was announced.

The Jean family has also filed a federal lawsuit against Ms. Guyger and the City of Dallas, saying that the off-duty officer used excessive force and violated Mr. Jean’s civil rights. Mr. Washington on Friday pointed to what he called “serious training issues” in Dallas, and said departments across the country needed to delve deeper into disproportionate use of force against African-Americans.

During Traffic Stop White Cleveland Cops Assault & Attempt to Awaken Black Man Victimized by His Own Beliefs: So-Called "Rights are Myths - Obedience to Servitude or Jail is the Reality"

Ruled Through Granfalloons. Here, while interacting with race soldiers, a gullible Black Man searched for the world presented to him on TV, movies, text books during a life-time of indoctrination [the matrix] but instead found himself in the World as it Is. Where are those rights? {“they” remain in your mind - if you believe in them] Who gave them to you? Who is serving who? What is authority? What is government? When did he consent to this arrangement? Can he opt out of it?

Maybe the unseen child in the video watching the incident will overstand that seeing is knowing. Belief is cheap. Dr. Blynd explains, "The child who is taught to believe the law will be his protection is the child who will become the victim of its own beliefs."  "Unquestioned beliefs own you." 

FUNKTIONARY further defines the following:

rights - fantasmatic or fictitious objects having no reality in actuality by those imagining as an identity being in possession of them. Rights are cultural gratuities perceived through various fantasy frames, recognized, and sometimes even created, by man's system of law to provide a modicum or pretense of civility under a system whereby their very undermining and violation is vouchsafed. Rights are merely rites unless you know how to assert and defend them in order to enjoy them. 2) things people are free to do whether they are able to or not. 3) conditions of existence required by hue-man's nature for their potential survival (primarily against the cartoon that kills, i.e., the wholly unconscionable entity called the "State"). It is a mistaken notion that rights are enjoyed by one at the expense of the many—that is the realm of privilege. Enjoyment of rights in a neo-imperialistic world controlled by Yurugu through the Greater System (Symbolic Order), paradoxically, entails not only a recognition of their inevitability but, equally, their impossibility. How can we be endowed with rights, or even know what rights are when they are based on binary considerations? Rights, as ontological ephemera, cannot be universally observed, recognized, realized or, enforced—and paradoxically, act also as its own eternal source for its assertion and vessel for its fulfillment in our imaginary enjoyment of them. While the law reads rights referentially, what is universally needed in the praxis of rights discourse today is a particular re-inscription, demystification or reontologising of rights (revivified and convivial) by the pan-gendered subject-citizen-decoder—taken symptomatically rather than seriously. Most people rarely experience the cognizance of being property of corporate fictions because as long as you don't violate the rules of society your real status as feudal-property-slave is not involved or revealed. If there is no 'I,' to what and to whom do rights as objects accrue? Those who are confused by suffering (and the subject of same) require a re-onotoligisation of rights through the trajectory of meaning independent of their existence. Rights and even 'lefts' (i.e., what remains after all of our imaginary rights are traced to their inception as figment) for that matter, like good and evil, are human inventions which humans treat as non-human realities. While fantasy frames invent rights, romanticism reinvents them. Enjoy your symptoms and play with your syndrome—the symptom is the solution. Read carefuly the holding in the supreme Court case of U.S. v. Babcock. Rights are myths—obedience to servitude or jail is the reality.

The Matrix - a simulated dream-world generated to keep humanity under a system of control—specifically, mind control; it is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the function of truth and the nature of reality—the real world. We are (through our energy) the fuel that runs the artificial machine consciousness of invisible systemized mind control called the Matrix, operating in the realm of mind sustaining the dream-like state (projected version of reality) that we take to be our collective consensual reality. The Matrix is a slave encampment for your mind—it can't be told to you or even shown, you have to see it (and feel it) for yourself. "The matrix is this big illusion that's been drummed into us and repeated over and over and over until we think everything is natural, everything is normal and things just progress along some strange 'willy-nilly' fashion, some road that no one really plans, and politicians just hammer out the problems and the crisis as they arise; and nothing is further from the truth. Nothing at all is further from the truth." -Alan Watt. The Matrix is designed to bulk erase what passes for your reality and substitute it with the illusions of objective truth (simulacrum) impervious to subjective verification, i.e., authentic gnosis. When critical thought capability has been "flatlined," you have succumbed (been activated into) the Matrix. The Matrix fabricates an untrue realism ambuscading our senses while lubricating our traction against its offences. It captivates us with things that scare us, and then subtly ensnare us in its lair. The Matrix (the movie) both starts and ends in the heart. In every film (the Matrix trilogy) the main character (the average human played by Neo) is asleep (trapped in the Matrix)—just as you are too. WTFU! The Matrix has you—it owns you—and remote controls what you think, feel, believe, and also even frames and allows what you do or don't do all within a reality that is hidden from your view. In the movie, Trinity represents aligning the expression of the different aspects of our consciousness, namely: Will (played by Neo) representing courage, conscience and freedom; Spirit (played by Trinity) representing heart, compassion and love; and Mind (played by Morpheus) representing intelligence, knowledge and subjective truth. The expression of our consciousness as revealed in the movie, is manifested through three modalities: Thought (Morpheus), Emotions (Trinity) and Action (Neo). The Heart is the bridge" between will and action. The overwhelming majority of humanity is connected in no way to the fundamental nature of reality. What is the Matrix? Control. The world of control—mind control. As long as the Matrix exists, humans will never be free. It was hugely inspired by Plato and his analogy of the cave, which suggested that we are just in the world of appearances, and the real world of the forms is beyond us. The point when Neo asks "why do my eyes hurt" is a reference to the philosopher who leaves the cave after being imprisoned there for many years (the cave represents earth) and finally sees the sun, which is the true form of the good, and therefore it hurts his eyes because he has never truly used them before in the dark cave! The pain the escaped prisoner felt when first seeing the truth is also seen in the Matrix, how when Neo first finds the truth, there is horror and cannot process all the information at once. Neo, therefore, actually represents the Philosopher in Plato's analogy. The only one who actually seeks the truth was the philosopher in the cave, and such in the Matrix, it is only a select few compared to the huge amounts of pods in storage when Neo reveals that he was in a dream world. It's really strange how an idea almost 2200 years old is able to change the present and alter it so much. Some say that the only way you can escape the "Matrix" is to break the physical bindings of your body-meaning bio-physiological death—then and only then are you freed from the matrix. The Matrix is the physical world, the world of your body, the world of atoms and of matter. Matter is the Matrix. What's the matter with that? Escape matter and you escape the matrix. When you stop believing that God is external and outside of the Self then that is when you break out of the Matrix. We are all gods or aspects. There is a verse in the Bible that states that God is not numan but "Light." You can be the one if you choose to be. The Chosen Ones are those who choose to unplug through Self- Realization achieved through Self-Observation and meditation. "We have free will, but we choose not to use it." ~P.D. Ouspensky.

Neuropeon Corpse Defeats Human Being in Mississippi Senate Race by Motivating Other Neurotic, Self Deluded, White Supremacist Caucasians to the Polls with Lynching Joke

NYT reports, Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi Republican who had to apologize for a cavalier reference to a public hanging, won a special runoff election on Tuesday, defeating the Democratic candidate, Mike Espy, who was trying become the state’s first black senator since Reconstruction.

Ms. Hyde-Smith’s victory, reported by The Associated Press, came in the final Senate race of the midterm elections and will set the Republican majority in the chamber at 53 to 47 once the new Congress is sworn in, a net pickup of two seats. [MORE]

Like the NYT explained, the vested interests gave the Mississippi votary 2 choices (as opposed to making decisions); they could choose a public master who is a Black person (Espy) or a neuropeon woman who joked about killing Black people (Hyde Smith). Hoping to make the best of a bad situation racists chose Hyde Smith. "Most white people hate Black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you." -Neely Fuller.

Now she will get the opportunity to violently impose her unwanted rulership by force & coercion [law] onto the Black votary after another fair, open and competitive election in a demockery.

From [HERE] An Arizona jury on Wednesday acquitted a United States Border Patrol agent of involuntary manslaughter in the killing of a Mexican teen through a border fence, sparking a protest in downtown Tucson following another loss for federal prosecutors in the second trial over the 2012 killing.

Jurors in Tucson found Lonnie Swartz not guilty of involuntary manslaughter but didn't come to a decision on voluntary manslaughter. The verdict comes months after Swartz was acquitted of second-degree murder by another jury that had deadlocked on manslaughter charges, allowing prosecutors to pursue the case again.

Border Patrol agents are rarely criminally charged for using force. But the killing of 16-year-old Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez sparked outrage on both sides of the border and it came at a time when the agency was increasingly scrutinised for its use of force.

An amicus brief by Human Rights Watch argued that the senseless murder was also a violation of international law. It stated,

International human rights norms stipulate that law enforcement officers should refrain from using of force unless necessary, and that lethal force should only be used as a matter of last resort.  The U.N. Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials (hereinafter “Code of Conduct”) states that the use of force by law enforcement officials should be limited to situations where it is “strictly necessary and . . . required for the performance of their duty.”  G.A. Res. 34/169, art. 3, U.N. Doc. A/34/46 (Dec. 17, 1979); see also Restatement § 702 cmt. f (International law requires “the avoidance of any lethal use of force by law enforcement except in defense of themselves or other innocent persons, or to prevent serious crime.”); Amnesty International, Deadly Force: Police Use of Lethal Force in the United States 13 (June 2015) (hereinafter “Amnesty Report”), http://www.amnestyusa.org/‌sites/‌default/‌files/‌aiusa_‌deadl...(Officials should not use force unless “there are no other means available that are likely to achieve a legitimate objective.”).

Given the likelihood of serious injury resulting from firearm use, “[a]ll uses of firearms against people should be treated as lethal or potentially lethal.”  Heyns Report ¶ 70 (citing G.A. Res. 45/166, Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, princ. 9 (Dec. 18, 1990) (“hereinafter “Basic Principles”)).  Principle 9 of the Basic Principles restricts law enforcement officials from using “firearms against persons except in self-defen[s]e or defen[s]e of others against the imminent threat of death or serious injury, to prevent the perpetration of a particularly serious crime involving grave threat to life, to arrest a person presenting such a danger and resisting their authority, or to prevent his or her escape, and only when less extreme means are insufficient to achieve these objectives.”  Basic Principles, princ. 9; see also id. at princ. 4 (“[L]aw enforcement officials, in carrying out their duty, shall, as far as possible, apply non-violent means before resorting to the use of force and firearms.  They may use force and firearms only if other means remain ineffective or without any promise of achieving the intended result.”).  The Basic Principles further restrict law enforcement officials from the “intentional lethal use of firearms” except “when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life.”  Id. at princ. 9. 

“Necessity in the context of lethal force has been said to have three components . . . .”  Heyns Report ¶ 59.  “Qualitative necessity means that the use of potentially lethal force . . . is not avoidable to achieve the objective”; “[q]uantitative necessity means the amount of force used does not exceed that which is required”; and “[t]emporal necessity means the use of force must be used against a person who presents an immediate threat.”  Id. ¶ 60 (emphasis added). 

Under the facts alleged by the plaintiff, Agent Swartz’s use of force against J.A. was not necessary.  J.A. was an unarmed child walking down a public street.  See ER 52 ¶ 2.  J.A. posed no threat to Agent Swartz, much less an unavoidable, lethal, and imminent one.  Thus, even if Agent Swartz had a legitimate objective in restraining J.A., that objective could have been met in a nonviolent manner—and certainly a nonlethal one.  Furthermore, Agent Swartz fired numerous shots—reportedly between 14 and 30—at least ten of which struck J.A.  See ER 53-54 ¶¶ 10-12.  The firing of so many shots in an urban environment like Nogales is reckless, at best, and indicates an intentional use of lethal force.  By failing to avoid unnecessary violence, Agent Swartz violated the international standards on the use of force and firearms for law enforcement. [MORE] 

Outside the court on Wednesday, a small group of activists protested the verdict, and one man was detained, local media outlets reported.

The protest grew later in the day as scores of demonstrators shut down an intersection, snarling traffic in downtown and prompting authorities to briefly close several freeway ramps.

A spokeswoman for the US attorney's office said prosecutors haven't decided whether to try Swartz again on the voluntary manslaughter charge. 

"We fully respect the jury's decision, and we thank every member of the jury for the time and attention given to this trial," Elizabeth A Strange, first assistant US attorney for the District of Arizona, said in a statement.

During the trial, prosecutors said Swartz was frustrated over repeated encounters with people on the Mexico side of the border fence who throw rocks at agents to distract them from smugglers. They say he lost his cool and fatally shot Elena Rodriguez. Swartz fired about 16 rounds, and the teen was hit at least 10 times in the back and head.

Swartz had then said he was following his training and defending himself and other law enforcement officers from rocks, which he said could be deadly.

Prosecutors acknowledge that Elena Rodriguez was throwing rocks at agents while two smugglers made their way back to Mexico, but they said that wasn't justification for taking his life. Members of Elena Rodriguez's family maintain he wasn't throwing rocks and was killed while walking home.

Speaking to Al Jazeera earlier this year, Elena Rodriguez's grandmother Taide questioned how officials would have reacted had it happened the other way around. "What if a Mexican official had fired into the US, killing a US citizen. This would have been an international crisis," she said.

On Thursday, Taide expressed disappointment in the verdict, saying that the possibility for getting justice now seems small. 

"We will keep on waiting and like before we will hope to see a miracle happen," she told Al Jazeera by phone after the Wednesday's verdict. "But that is what it will be: a miracle. That's what we always hoped for."

Swartz still faces a civil rights lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the teen's mother.

White Cop Exercises His Right to Harm Blacks & Lie About It: Milwaukee Cops Claim to be Investigating Themselves After Shooting Jerry Smith Jr, Causing his Paralysis

From [HERE] Police officers in Wisconsin are under investigation for shooting an unarmed black man on a garage roof.

Jerry Smith Jr, of Milwaukee, has said a bullet is still in his hip and that he has been in a wheelchair since the incident in August last year. 

Police officers responding to reports a man with a gun confronted 19-year-old Mr Smith, who matched the description of the man they were looking for, Fox6Now reported.

Mr Smith said that he ran from a police officer on a bicycle who had scared him, onto a roof. Two officers pursued him and told him to put his hands up.

The video shows that Mr Smith put his hands up, but then lowered them. At that point the officer holding the gun fired three shots. One bullet grazed Mr Smith’s head, narrowly missing his brain.

Mr Smith told the Milwaukee news station TMJ4 that he was not carrying a gun, nor does he own one, but was holding a phone in his right hand that he was using to call his mother. "I really don't know why they shot me," he said in a video interview. "OK, I ran, but the officer scared the hell out of me, man."

Because the shooting was not fatal, the police department does not need an outside department to investigate the shooting. Both officers in the video are currently still at work, on administrative duty.

The district attorney has deemed the shooting justified, as the officers believed that Mr Smith was reaching for a weapon when they fired, Fox6Now reported.

Mr Smith’s legal team acquired the body cam footage and released it. They are asking the US Attorney’s office to look at the video and reconsider the verdict. They also said they hoped the case would bring attention to improving Milwaukee police training.

Botham Jean's Family Hopes for Incidental or Random Justice from Grand Jury After White Cop Unlawfully Entered & Stood Her Ground in Black Man’s Apartment in System of White Supremacy [injustice]

From [HERE] A Dallas County grand jury heard evidence Monday against a Dallas police officer who shot and killed a 26-year accountant in his own home while he was watching a football game, according to a law-enforcement official with knowledge of the case.

The jurors will hear more evidence in the fatal Sept. 6 shooting when they reconvene Wednesday, the official said. The jurors can vote to indict ex-officer Amber Guyger on a charge of manslaughter, murder or another charge in the shooting death of Botham Jean. They can also decide that Guyger should face no charges.

Attorneys for the Jean family confirmed that grand jury proceedings were underway. 

A spokeswoman for the Dallas County District Attorney's office, Kimberlee Leach, declined to comment but said that "the case is ready for a grand jury," she said.

Guyger, 30, was arrested on a manslaughter charge Sept. 9, three days after killing Jean. She told authorities that she mistook his apartment for hers and thought he was a burglar. Her apartment was directly below his unit in the Cedars complex. 

Jean's slaying set off weeks of protests in Dallas. Rallies and vigils were held around the country and in St. Lucia, where Jean was born and raised. Guyger is white and Jean was black. 

In Texas, manslaughter is considered a reckless act. If Guyger intended to shoot Jean, even if she wrongly thought he was a burglar, murder is the more appropriate charge, Dallas defense attorneys have said.

A charge of murder is punishable for up to life in prison, and a charge of manslaughter could come with a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

Grand juries typically hear evidence about whether to indict in a particular case for one day, but on rare occasions, that process can stretch longer.

Guyger shot and killed Jean after she finished her shift. She was off-duty but still in uniform and said the door to Jean's apartment was unlocked and ajar. His family disputes that and says Jean wouldn't have left his door open.

Guyger's attorney, Robert Rogers, could not be reached for comment. 

The family's attorneys, Lee Merritt and Daryl K. Washington, spoke to reporters at the Frank Crowley Courts Building on Monday, where they confirmed that the Jean family was in Dallas and ready to be called upon to testify. The attorneys said they would be surprised if the grand jury heard evidence beyond Wednesday. 

"The family does have probative evidence about Botham's day that day because they spoke to him," Merritt said. "They regularly interacted with him and that may be something the grand jury is interested in hearing about."

It's up in the air whether the family would be called to testify, Washington said.

"If they do call the family in, the family is prepared," he said.

"The fact that there is even a possibility that this officer may not be charged with murder is something that the whole world is looking at," the attorney said.

Since the shooting, Jean's family hasn't had a normal night's sleep, Washington said.

"This season has been particularly difficult for the family, given that it is going into the holiday season," Merritt said. "It's been three months since Botham was killed in his own apartment, so they've been eagerly anticipating a decision from the grand jury."

Merritt said the family "will reserve comment until after the anticipated indictment."

The Jean family filed a lawsuit against Guyger and the city of Dallas, saying Guyger used excessive force and violated Jean's civil rights.

Guyger was fired Sept. 24, the same day Jean was buried in a cemetery by the sea in St. Lucia. 

Jean came to the United States to attend college at Harding University in Arkansas and then worked in Dallas as an accountant. He planned to one day return to the Caribbean island and run for prime minister, his family said. 

White DA Upholds Another White Cops Decision to Execute a Black Man: Sacramento Deputies Cleared After Shooting Mikel McIntyre in the Back as He Fled

From [HERE] It came as no surprise that the Sacramento County District Attorney last week cleared three county Sheriff’s deputies for killing an emotionally disturbed African American man on the shoulder of Highway 50.

What’s seems preposterous is the decision took 18 months after the fatal shooting of Mikel McIntyre on May 8, 2017. DA Anne Marie Schubert made her expected call of clearing cops who killed in the line of duty. Declining to prosecute cops when they kill is what Schubert has done in every fatal use-of-force case her office has reviewed since she was elected DA in 2014.

And DAs across the country do that in almost every instance. State and federal laws heavily favor law enforcement in use of deadly force and DAs have enormous conflicts of interest in reviewing the fatal results of their partners in crime (fighting).

“DAs are dependent on deputies to work their cases. They are very vulnerable to police,” said John Burris, the lawyer representing McIntyre’s family and a former prosecutor himself. “You almost have to have a special unit that only investigates (police use of force cases). DAs flat out lack courage. That’s what it is.”

The conflicts of interest between DAs and cops are real – and legal.

As Phillip Reese of the Bee reported in May: “Incumbent Anne Marie Schubert drew almost $100,000 in new contributions in May, mostly from law enforcement organizations and lawyers. The Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff’s Association gave Schubert another $25,000 this month, bringing their total contributions to nearly $70,000.”

And you know what’s funny? When you point out this obvious conflict of interest, people in Schubert’s office get angry. I’ve been told more than once that people in Schubert’s office wonder why she even talks to me. That just raising the obvious conflicts makes me a “hater.”

Law enforcement expecting to be treated as if it is above reproach is truly dangerous. Because law enforcement has the ability to take our lives and our freedoms and it doesn’t have to be right. The law says if cops have reasonable fear of us, they can kill us or arrest us.

But let’s not turn this discussion into something that its not: Law enforcement officers have dangerous jobs and they deserve to be protected. I don’t dispute this. Burris doesn’t dispute this. Most reasonable people would not dispute this. I admire law enforcement, have friends in law enforcement, have been humbled by meeting families of officers killed in the line of duty.

This is not about “hating” law enforcement. This is about making sure we have checks and balances on it.

The Mikel McIntyre case proves we have glaring lack of societal guard rails to prevent excessive force abuses by cops in the line of duty.

Why did McIntyre have to be killed? He hit one deputy in deputy in the head with a rock and ran. While running away, he threw another rock and it struck a police dog and another cop in the leg. Then he kept running.

He was otherwise unarmed. He was shot in the back as he ran away. Yes, in the back.

Meanwhile, K-9 units, CHP cars, and police helicopters swarmed.

Why not take him alive? Because he hit a cop in the head with a rock and ran? Yeah, that’s terrible. That’s a felony. That deserves prosecution and time in prison, no question.

But in this case, the punishment was death. In this case, you had a man who was not in his right mind, who was on medication. He had Diazepam in his system, which treats anxiety and seizures among other things.

A reasonable person could conclude, under some circumstances, deputies would have been justified if they had killed McIntyre right after he struck deputy Jeffrey Wright in the head with a rock. McIntyre, 32 and an East bay resident, was in town visiting family. He was in bad shape. His family feared him. He was acting strangely. Brigett McIntyre, his mother, said he was deeply depressed and suffering from anxiety.

The failure of our mental health system creates dangerous scenarios. Cops like Wright are first responders to people suffering a mental health crisis. Did McIntye hurt Wright? Yes. Did Wright have a reasonable fear for his life in that moment after being struck in the head? Yes. Did McIntyre kill Wright? Thankfully, no.

But McIntyre was killed anyway, despite running away and despite being unarmed. Was this an undeclared execution? Was this street justice by some cops after a colleague had been hit in the head?

“What good is our system of due process when everyone isn’t allowed to utilize it?” Tanya Faison, founder of Black Lives Matter’s Sacramento branch, asked.

People who hit cops pose a greater danger to society, but this guy was outnumbered and out of rocks when his life ended. Schubert’s office brought in a consultant on this case, which I can’t remember her doing before. The consultant, David Blake, is a retired cop.

Schubert’s office didn’t respond to a request for information on why Blake was hired.

Schubert’s report noted that Blake “opined” that it was “reasonable and in line with contemporary police practices” for three deputies shooting at McIntyre – Wright, Ken Becker and Gabriel Rodriguez – to fire 28 shots at McIntyre.

Rodriguez fired 18, some while crossing lanes of Highway 50. Rodriguez told investigators that he kept shooting because he feared McIntyre would cause a collision on the freeway. And Blake found this “reasonable and in line with contemporary police practices.”

OK, but didn’t deputy Rodriguez create hazards by shooting so many rounds on a major regional artery at the end of rush hour? Omitted from Schubert’s was a detail contained in the investigation of the shooting by the Inspector General of Sacramento County.

That report noted that Rodriguez paused firing to let a car go by and then resumed.

Curiously, Schubert’s review makes a few subtle references to how, with 20/20 hindsight, the McIntyre case might have turned out differently if the deputies chasing McIntyre had employed different tactics.

But of course, the DA doesn’t comment on tactics.

Who does? Rick Braziel, the IG. But we all know how that went down. In August, Braziel filed his report and questioned whether deputies needed to kill McIntyre. Sheriff Scott Jones threw a hissy fit and locked Braziel out of his buildings.

That means that Braziel can’t do his job. It means that the series of recommendations that Braziel made to avoid killing someone else next time have been completely disregarded.

Jones says he is not subject to oversight. He made a crack to my colleague Anita Chabria that it’s all good, they haven’t killed anyone on the freeway in more than a year.

Yeah, boy, that’s hilarious. And that is how people lose faith in law enforcement.

A killing happens, cops investigate cops, their partner the DA finds they were lawful, the sheriff thumbs his nose at legitimate questions.

Is the video of the McIntyre shooting available to the public? No. Jones gets to keep it from the public and no one can do anything about that. He still locks Braziel out of his buildings and, on Dec. 4, county supervisors will continue debating what to do next.

Is all of this a reason to despair and give up on the idea of pushing back against a system so stacked in favor of law enforcement?

No way.

The county needs to establish a video policy similar to the city. Videos of fatal shootings by deputies should be released in a timely manner. The McIntyre case might be viewed much differently today if the public could see how he was killed.

The public needs to show up at the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting to demand that Braziel be allowed to do his job as IG.

Legislators in Sacramento, such as Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, need to push for laws that tighten the rules on use of force by cops and open up their service records to public scrutiny.

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra needs to use his authority to make Jones accept the input from the county IG.

Change only happens when good people demand it. And the way fatal police shootings are handled in Calfornia must change now.
