BLACK ACTIVISTS WANT ALL COPS TO WEAR VIDEO CAMERAS SO THERE WOULD BE A VIDEO RECORD OF ALL COP INTERACTIONS.
UPDATE : OBAMA WANTS IT, TOO.
I AGREE - SO DO MOST LAW & ORDER SUPPORTERS. LIKE RUDY GIULIANI.
IF WILSON HAD BEEN WEARING ONE, THEN MAYBE THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ALL THE RIOTS AND LOOTING AND ARSON - MOSTLY COMMITTED BY YOUNG BLACK MALES, AND NOT COPS.
WHICH IS WHY MAYBE YOUNG BLACK MALES OUGHT TO ALL BE GIVEN GO-PRO CAMERAS AND BE REQUIRED TO WEAR THEM...
OKAY... MAYBE JUST ALL YOUNG BLACK MALES WHO HAVE EVER BEEN ARRESTED.
IF THEY THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS ALWAYS WATCHING THEM AND THAT THEREFORE - IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG - THAT THEY'D BE PUNISHED, WELL, MAYBE THIS WOULD REDUCE CRIME.
JUST A THOUGHT.
(BTW: G-D USED TO HAVE THIS FUNCTION.
MOST PEOPLE USED TO BELIEVE IN G-D AND THEREFORE REALIZE THAT EVEN IF THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING IN THIS LIFE, THAT THEY'D PAY A PRICE IN THE NEXT LIFE.
SO, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS IN PART DUE TO THE FACT TAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN G-D ANYMORE - AND ONCE UPON A TIME, THE BLACK COMMUNITY WAS AMONG THE MOST G-D-FEARING AND .... WELL BEHAVED.
NOW - IN A PER CAPITA BASIS, AND ALSO IN ABSOLUTE TERMS - BLACKS COMPRISE MOST OF THE CRIMINALS AND MOST OF THE VICTIMS OF CRIME.
IT WASN'T ALWAYS SO:
I HAD A FRIEND, AN OLDER MAN - WHO HAS CROSSED OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE, WHO USED TO GO TO HARLEM IN THE 1930'S - DRIVE HIS CAR THERE AND PARK IT AND LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. WITHOUT FEAR.
THOSE DAYS HAVE VANISHED, ALONG WITH A BELIEF IN G-D.
SIGH...
I NOW BELIEVE THAT MANY OF THE PROBLEMS HUMANITY SUFFERS FROM ARE FROM A LACK OF BELIEF IN G-D.
AND THAT WE SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT BECAUSE THE LAWS OF G-D AND THEIR CORRELATES AND EVEN THEIR PENUMBRATIONS YIELD GOOD THINGS WHILE THEIR ANTITHESES NATURALLY LEAD TO BAD THINGS.
REPEAT: NATURALLY.
FOR EXAMPLE:
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING: CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO G-DLINESS.
AND IF WE LIVE IN FILTH, G-D DOESN'T HAVE TO INTERVENE TO PUNISH US WITH DISEASE AND PESTILENCE; THAT HAPPENS NATURALLY.
G-D COMMANDS US TO LOVE OUR PARENTS - AND, BY WAY OF THIS, TO RESPECT AUTHORITY.
ALSO, G-D COMMANDS US NOT TO STEAL.
WHEN A YOUNG BLACK MALE LIKE BROWN STEAL AND THEN DISRESPECTS LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEN HE HAS BROKEN THE COMMANDMENTS AND NATURALLY NO GOOD COMES FROM THIS.
G-D DID NOT PUNISH BROWN; G-D DIDN'T HAVE TO.
SOME PUNISHMENTS COME NATURALLY.
IF ALL OF US WOULD FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS, THEN THERE WOULD BE LESS PUNISHMENT IN THE WORLD.
LESS SUFFERING.
NATURALLY.
AND MORE JOY.)
