OTOH, what an awesome rebuke that such an awesome, successful, multiracial group of young people have gained stardom and success in spite of him.

Anthony Bouza was a Chief of Police in Minneapolis for over 25 years. I believe he teaches a course in Criminal Justice at the Univ. of Chicago. Bouza explains very plainly about the role of the Police Force which was extended after Emancipation of Slaves. Their role was like that of the former Plantation Overseer. Their jobs were to control Blacks, make them docile and endure any indignities they were made to suffer and the beat the hell out of them, torture and maim them or even worse if they were not compliant. After slavery ended the police took on that role. Many White ethnics such as the Irish who stood low on the class scale in America and the Italians were given that power over a group of people they despised. The Police are there to protect Whites from Blacks primarily. If you read the book, which at one time was difficult to find because it contains so many truths, it will appear very plain to you that they are "just doing their job" as they were trained to do. Black police make little difference because if they or anyone else break the "police rules", they will suffer the bitter consequences. http://www.amazon.com/The-Police-Mystique-Insiders-Criminal/dp/0738205834 On Aug 21, 2014, at 4:34 PM, Richard Conrad wrote: > > > On Aug 21, 2014, at 11:03 AM, Glenn moyer <glen...@earthlink.net> wrote: > > Here is the execution video that caught the Missouri terrorists in another > round of lies.
