Folks of all stripes are hell raisers in the Bay Area (well, SF, Oakland and Berkeley) so I guess I was projecting. <BR/><BR/>Oakland had a bunch of lawless cops (The Riders) in West Oakland that were actually put on trial for various police abuses. One disappeared to Mexico and the rest were acquitted. The city had to pay money to the victims in civil actions, and now the City has to live with this onerous consent decree negotiagted by our knuckleheaded City Attorney. And the victims weren't elected officials either, many were druggies.west coast storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833809632143106334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-90063968309105978422009-04-09T12:00:00.000-04:002009-04-09T12:00:00.000-04:00Anon: No offense taken!

He died the year I got here. (He must have known I was coming) But there is a sort of apathy among black folks here that is frustrating. <BR/><BR/>Part of it is the Third Worlf type ward politics in place, and part of it is just a lack of economic clout. Philly's blacks and people in general, have a long tradition of just going along with the status quo, which is kind of sad. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, as more folks who think outside of the box get higher in the food chain things will start to change. <BR/><BR/>And I co-sign with anon.7:46PM.

It explains why no one in Philly will put heat on Ramsey. I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth: <BR/><BR/>"So what are the citizens of Philly going to do about it?"<BR/><BR/>West Coast Ivory, my answer to your question is-- "As always, Philly will uphold its tradition and do NOTHING." <BR/><BR/>"Philadelphia has a distinguished history of abusive treatment of black people going back to Frank Rizzo's reign of terror." <BR/><BR/>Ah, Frank Rizzo...I lived in the Philadelphia area during that time and I remember him well. The terror he and the police dept. heaped on Blacks in Philly was 'criminal'. As Police Commissioner, his police force terrorized and brutalized Blacks. It was well known that he did not like Blacks. Later, he was elected Mayor! Go figure. <BR/><BR/>Nothing about the police force in Philly has changed; and nothing about the attitude of its citizens has changed. Blacks (or Whites) did nothing back then about the brutal culture of the police, and they are doing nothing about it today. <BR/><BR/>Philadelphia is pathetic, especially when it comes to Blacks standing up for themselves. Cops do whatever they want-wrongfully- to Blacks and more often than not, there will be no consequences. <BR/><BR/>The "City of Brotherly Love" is a misnomer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-29030311026176007852009-04-08T20:11:00.000-04:002009-04-08T20:11:00.000-04:00Yes, anon.

Imo, you've hit upon something that violates an unspoken rule in the community..."Don't talk about it". Mental health, or lack of it, is like a secret in the community. And you know what they say about secrets? "You are as sick as your secrets." <BR/><BR/>Blacks ARE ignorant when it comes to the 'entire spectrum' of mental health issues because 'not talking about it' tends to keep one ignorant. For instance, going to a therapist or a psychotherapist for a mental and/or emotional problem is a very healthy thing for a person to do. However, most Blacks see it as just the opposite.... They tend to see it as a sign of weakness, and shameful and will keep it to themselves....Again, 'not talk about it'. <BR/><BR/>Any group that has encountered racism, multiple forms of discrimination, killings and hangings, police brutality, and injustices--generation after generation for centuries--needs to be at the forefront of understanding mental and emotional health. Yet, it is almost taboo. I bet most Blacks can find at minimum, one or two relatives with explosive anger issues, and low self-esteem who could benefit from therapeutic help.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, shame keeps Blacks for doing so. It's a catch 22 and 'one' of the unspoken issues that prevent many Blacks from reaching their full potential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-31160507494957245022009-04-08T18:48:00.000-04:002009-04-08T18:48:00.000-04:00Robert M:I think I'll hold on tight to my money be...Robert M:<BR/><BR/>I think I'll hold on tight to my money because I bet you're right. They'll probably be transferred to some of other precinct or promoted. That's the way they do things in the police department. When the policemen known as the "Cowboys" out this way were found guilty, all they did was promote some of them and transfer the other ones to different departments. Although, the families of their victims did get a few millions of dollars, which I'm sure the lawyers got the biggest part of. No amount of money can ever replace life and the few millions the families received more than likely amounted a few thousand by the time all the deduction for the lawyers and taxes were paid.

Believe Granny would be first in line to come to a child's defense who has been hurt by one. The law could lock them underneath the jail, castrate them, and throw away the key as far as I'm concerned. However, the evidence in this case is a little flimsy if that is all the evidence they had. Just like I would want a rapist locked up, I wouldn't want an innocent person locked up on no flimsy evidence. It's enough innocent people in jail already.<BR/><BR/>I am a mother, grandmother, aunt, great aunt, and great-great aunt, and children are my heart and so I can relate to how you feel.GrannyStandingforTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393482390585845081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-46584535195990626232009-04-08T15:44:00.000-04:002009-04-08T15:44:00.000-04:00If I read the article correctly, it doesn't mentio...If I read the article correctly, it doesn't mention anything about any other evidence other than a relative saw him STANDING NEXT to the boy with his pants down. It never mentioned the relative heard the boy crying out, or that boy substained and was treated for any injuries. I would think that a young man 18 years old would still have an organ of a grown man. All the article seems to state is that the only evidence is what the relative said, and a confession from a mentally retarded young man that might say yes to anything if he is frightened.<BR/><BR/>Like black diaspora said I would have to hear some more convincing evidence other than he was standing NEXT to him with his pants down. BTW, there is no mention of the little boy having his pants down as well. When mentally retarded people are frighten they act different from people who are at their normal mind level.<BR/><BR/>Back a few months ago, in my city, there were some gunshots fired. A mentally retarded boy that lives around the corner was coming from the store. When he heard the gunshots he started running. The police happened to be driving towards the gunshots and saw him running. They stopped the boy,manhandled him and handcuffed him. I happen to be standing on the corner of my house talking to a neighbor. The boy was so frighten he was crying and pleading with us to help him. They were roughing him up a little bit too. So, I went over to the police and told them that he was mentally retarded. The police told me that there were gunshots and he was running. We sent one of the other kids that live in this neighborhood to go and get his mother. When his mother came, she was able to calm the boy down enough so that she could find out what happened. Not only is the boy retarded, he has other serious health issues. He is epiletic and has a speech impediment and a few other things. The whole time they kept him in handcuffs laying across the hood of the car. <BR/><BR/>I am a grown woman with a sound mind and if I heard gunshots, believe me I'm not going to stand around and become an innocent victim. Bullets don't have no name on them. I would have ran too. They caused that little boy to be traumatized. The thing is that anyone with common sense would have realized the boy was retarded and had a speech impediment. Now, his mother is fearful of letting him go anywhere alone. I can't say that I blame him because it could have been one of those trigger happy cops instead of, slightly, physically violent ones.GrannyStandingforTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393482390585845081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-80741611516201143502009-04-08T13:16:00.000-04:002009-04-08T13:16:00.000-04:00Black people are rarely, if ever, allowed to be le...Black people are rarely, if ever, allowed to be legally insane in a criminal justice proceeding. When that cat shot up the Long Island train, he was clearly nuts and had a long history of mental problems but all those white folks just saw a heathen n-word who needed to be put down. <BR/><BR/>When we talk about crime in Oakland, we sometimes talk about the problem of undiagnosed mental illness in the black community. I know for a fact that one of the thugs in my neighborhood is eating with one chopstick. <BR/><BR/>The irony of this topic is that while we decry a person being put away for a crime the person doesn't have the mental capacity to commit, black folks can be the least understanding when it comes to dealing with mental health issues. It's like HIV/AIDS. We are living in medieval times in our mindset about modern health issues.
