Political activist David Horowitz (Pro-Israel & Conservative) of the Freedom Center sent a fundraising email with the Ferguson riots and violence as the hook. Any Pro-Israel/Conservative organization supporting Israel’s right to exist and the core principles that have made America an exceptional nation is worthy of support. BUT it is the fundraising hook that you need to give some attention to in this case.

The Horowitz email sends a Youtube video of Bill Whittle of Freedom Center sponsored Truth Revolt editorializing on Obama Administration race baiting and the hypocrisy of the Ferguson Black Community (lump in misinformed Black Communities nationwide) committing acts of violence and looting in the name of an eighteen year old Black teenager the size of Goliath.

Since the shooting of Michael Brown by a white policeman and the ensuing riots and looting in Ferguson, MO, Americans have been told, yet again, that there is an epidemic of crime against black people in this country. But is there really a race war, and if so, which side is actually waging it?

The hypocrisy is glaring evident when the violence and looting is supposed to honor a gigantic kid who strong arm robs a convenience store of a handful of cigars. This is soon followed by eighteen year old Michael Brown antagonizing a police officer for refusing to get out of the middle of the street who attempted to escort Brown to the backseat of his squad car while undoubtedly the intention of finding out about wants and warrants. Brown while in the backseat pulled Officer Wilson violently into the car pummeling him to the head and made an attempt to grab Wilson’s firearm. In escaping Brown’s assault Wilson managed to fall out of the car. Brown at first took the opportunity to flee. Wilson drew his weapon telling Brown to stop.

AND THIS IS WHERE MYTHOLOGICAL LIE BEGINS

Brown rather than stopping and surrendering with hands up, Brown gave a Goliath bull rush toward Wilson. Already pummeled by Brown, Wilson shoots to slow Brown down. The first wounds have little effect on bull rushing Brown. Wilson discharged his weapon aiming at Brown’s head ending the Goliath offensive.

No I understand the Black Community guffawing Wilson’s account over some of the police-hater accounts of Brown being shot with his hands in the air surrendering. I am certain there are bad cops out there. But there are good cops – Black, White, Hispanic, etc. – who understand the statistics of Black crime and thus police patrol with a racial profiling attitude of assuming crime before going to trial.

Let’s be honest – in the process of protecting and serving, a police officer needs racial profiling as a tool because it enables not only for the safety of the community patrolling but makes sure the outnumbered police officer (or officers) have a self-preservation moment in patrolling. Leftists hate this reality. The Black Community hates this reality. AND when racial profiling is abused as a form of police harassment, Conservatives question the validity of this reality.

Ferguson is an example that police enforcement needs to have some kind of reform that uses racial profiling on a qualified basis. If there is a robbery or an assault in an area and especially if it is reported that the perpetrator or perpetrators fits the description of a non-White person (face it, Blacks are not the only racially profiled people), racial profiling a person walking or driving is an essential tool.

HOWEVER, in the process of patrolling and a racial profile spot check occurs without any reported alert probable cause, is an intrusion of viewing all citizens equally under the law. Placing cameras on squad cars and police officers is one way to make sure police officers use proper policing techniques and protects the police from false accusations.

Eric Garner Killed by Daniel Pantaleo

Since the shooting of Michael Brown by a white policeman and the ensuing riots and looting in Ferguson, MO, Americans have been told, yet again, that there is an epidemic of crime against black people in this country. But is there really a race war, and if so, which side is actually waging it?

In a case that sparked days of protest and calls for reform of the New York Police Department, a grand jury has decided not to indict an officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner.

Officer Daniel Pantaleo will not face criminal charges in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, who died July 17 while being arrested outside a Staten Island convenience store for allegedly selling loose cigarettes, or “loosies.”

The lawyer for the Garner family, Jonathan Moore, said that he was “absolutely astonished” in an interview with NY1.

The case inspired outrage over officers’ behavior, especially when it comes to the apparent use of a long-prohibited chokehold.

PIX11’s continuing coverage of Eric Garner’s in-custody death
Shortly after the fatal encounter, Pantaleo was stripped of his gun and badge and put on modified duty. Four EMS workers who responded to the scene but apparently did not try to resuscitate Garner were suspended without pay.

Called “barbaric” by his family, Garner’s arrest was caught on camera by an onlooker. That widely watched
READ THE REST

An example the use of cameras provides an example of at the very least too much force is in the case of a group of Officers are examining a gigantic Black that resisted arrest, but in the act of subduing the man the police officer utilized an against the rules chokehold that resulted in the death of the Black man. What makes the death of the Black man more heinous is while being subdued he was saying, “I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.”

NOW this is an injustice because the police officer was not charged and actually had a Grand Jury did not indict. THAT IS CRAZY!

Granted Eric Garner was a huge 400 pound man. His crime: selling individual loose cigarettes black-market style. Garner resisted arrest which justifies the amount of police officers trying to subdue him. BUT the chokehold is against NYPD rules due to the very issue of accidental death in the act of subduing resistance to arrest. Thus when Daniel Pantaleo began his illegal chokehold coupled with Garner’s dying breath of “I can’t breathe,” a crime was committed by Officer Pantaleo.

The Grand Jury decision not to indict is ridiculous under the preponderance of evidence the unrestrained force at least criminal negligence and at worst just downright murder.

While all states have provisions in their laws that allow for grand juries, roughly half of the states don't use them. Courts often use preliminary hearings prior to criminal trials, instead of grand juries, which are adversarial in nature. As with grand juries, preliminary hearings are meant to determine whether there is enough evidence, or probable cause, to indict a criminal suspect. (How Does a Grand Jury Work? FindLaw)
