What To Do When You're Stopped By Police - The ACLU & Elon James White

Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.


This video clearly demonstrates how racist America is as a country and how far we have to go to become a country that is civilized and actually values equal justice. We must not rest until this goal is achieved. I do not want my great grandchildren to live in a country like we have today. I wish for them to live in a country where differences of race and culture are not ignored but valued as a part of what makes America great.

Giving the 'Ferguson effect' a new name won't make it truer | Samuel Sinyangwe | Opinion | The Guardian

"This theory, as many experts have noted, relies on assumptions that are not supported by the facts. Unfortunately, we don’t have comprehensive official statistics on police use of force because the FBI, which Comey heads, has failed to collect this data. But crowd-sourced efforts demonstrate, at minimum, that police have not been “less aggressive”. If anything, the police appear to have doubled-down on the type of aggression that generated public scrutiny in the first place.



According to the Mapping Police Violence database, police killed 696 people nationwide in 2014 before the Ferguson protests began on 9 August. Police killed 739 people over the same time period in 2015 according to that database – the Guardian’s The Counted project recorded 709. Either way, an increase.



This year is no different. Police have already killed more people to date this year than they had killed by this point of 2014."
