I originally tried to post this YESTERDAY but when I copied it to paste onto here? As you can see it SHIFTED EVERYTHING to the RIGHT. So I've been fighting with this thing to make sure that all of you can honestly READ THE ARTICLE without it being clipped by the boundary of my blog. Please excuse the sloppiness of choppiness that I had to resort to so that you can honestly read MOST OF IT. As you read through the article pay attention to how much BEGGING IS NOW BEING DONE OF WHITE NAZI-COPS, where I'm not gonna lie, IT'S EMBARRASSING. It is like watching someone who has been BEATEN UP IN THE STREET! Beg the person who just beat them up, TO HELP THEM! And as usual we see THE USUAL BLACK SUSPECTS. Black Religious "Leaders", BEGGING FOR HELP FROM WHITES instead of saying "WE GOT THIS!" In this article it EXPOSES THE SHITTY USELESSNESS OF THE MODERN-DAY BLACK AMERICAN CHURCH where it is all about PUTTING MONEY IN THE COLLECTION PLATE, but IT-&-ITS SO-CALLED LEADERS, CAN'T RALLY A CALL-TO-ARMS FOR ENOUGH BLACKMEN TO PATROL THE STREETS?
Now? Why all the caps and why did I say what I just said?
Because HISTORICALLY the Black American Church COULD DO THAT. And you don't need My Word, you can look it up. The power structure of Black America became ROOTED IN OUR CHURCHES, because it was the ONLY PLACE WHITES WOULD ORIGINALLY LET US CONGREGATE WITHOUT KILLING US.
That is CRITICAL TO KNOW and TO UNDERSTAND, this is also a PATTERN that is PREVALENT throughout MOST BLACK-DOMINATED COUNTRIES-N-REGIONS TODAY. The Churches HAVE BECOME POWERFUL, because no matter where you look as a Black Person all you have to do is check to see if We As Black People were under the enslavement of either Whites or Arabs and you find the same thing every time! The White Church-Faiths of Blacks, the Arab Muslim-Faiths of Blacks, are THE DOMINANT PLACES OF POWER-AUTHORITY-&-INFLUENCE! But it is SOLELY BECAUSE the Whites-&-Arabs USED RELIGIOUS CONVERSION TO MAKE US "COMFORTABLE" WITH BEING ENSLAVED BY THEM.
The White-Church of Blacks the Arab-Mosque of Blacks became SAFE-HAVENS where THEY ALLOWED US TO CONGREGATE! This shaped and molded OUR PRESENT-DAY SITUATION OF CHURCHES-N-MOSQUES BEING THE MOST POWERFUL PLACES AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES. It has also become the reason why we are NOT MOVING NOW, too. Because MANY OF THESE ARE NOW CORRUPTED. So as we are finding Our Footing and realizing now that Dreaming About Integration was a fool's game!? Blacks who have had ENOUGH of waiting for the afterlife to be treated right and understand that God or whomever you follow ISN'T ROOTED IN A PHYSICAL STRUCTURE, then these places of safe-conversion ARE NOW BEING ABANDONED BY BLACKS WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BACKBONE WITHIN THEM. ESPECIALLY, BLACKMEN.
Like I showed you in a previous youtube and with THIS YOUTUBE;
When you read this article, you can ALMOST HEAR the resignation of the Blacks Interviewed and then to read them all LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO SOMETHING WHEN THIS IS THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD! Yet they talk like ONLY THE NAZI-COPS CAN DO ANYTHING, WE CANNOT CONTINUE WITH THIS ULTRA-DEPENDENCY UPON WHITES TO DO EVERY FUCKIN THING INCLUDING WIPE OUR ASSES WHEN WE KNOW THAT THE ROOT OF WHY WEST BALTIMORE-N-BALTIMORE ITSELF IS FUCKED UP IS BECAUSE OF THE WHITES AND THEIR OVERT-N-COVERT POLICIES-N-PRACTICES AGAINST US!
Farrakhan talked about marching on Washington, HE NEEDS TO MARCH TO WEST BALTIMORE WITH WHATEVER HE'S GOT AND RESTORE ORDER BECAUSE OUR PEOPLE THERE ARE IN DANGER ON ALL SIDES! And they have CLEARLY given up! We NEED to form A VOLUNTEER MILITIA OR SOMETHING TO HELP OUR PEOPLE HERE! And I say that because the Nazi-Cops ARE INTENTIONALLY doing this so that they can then DO FAR WORSE THAN THEY'D ALREADY BEEN DOING!
BALTIMORE — From the steps of her New Bethlehem Baptist Church, the Rev. Lisa
Weah looked down the block to the open-air drug market outside the bodega on the
corner a few hundred feet away.
The traffic there had been slowing until the chaos that followed the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, after he was injured in police custody. Now it is back full-bore, and the
police are often nowhere to be seen.
A month and a half after six officers were charged in Mr. Gray’s death, policing has dwindled in some of Baltimore’s most dangerous neighborhoods, and murders have
risen to levels not seen in four decades. The totals include a 29-year-old man fatally
shot on this drug corner last month. Police union officials say that officers are still
coming to work, but that some feel a new found reluctance and are stepping back, questioning whether they will be prosecuted for actions they take on the job.
(We as Black People are told we have nothing to fear if we're obeying the law, yet when Whites feel uncomfortable they may ARBITRARILY COMMIT DERELICTION OF DUTY WITH NO PUNISHMENTS WHATSOEVER, it is THIS EXAMPLE that drives too many
of Us as
Black People to become psychotically OBSESSED WITH POWER AND MONEY AT ALL COSTS, reread and UNDERSTAND what Police Union Officials said. They make it clear that now that the people THEY REPRESENT have been FORCED TO DO THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY
OR BE PUNISHED LIKE ANYONE ELSE WHO COMMITS A CRIME, now? They're the Ones in Fear. The Fake White Outrage and Fear is a huge reason why too many of us as Black People will shoot up the block in a vainly-stupid attempt to GET POWER, because we've become OVERLY INVESTED IN WHITE VALIDATION INSTEAD OF OUR OWN. And I ASSURE YOU that Whites are aware of it too.
Mind you that the worst part is that as too many of us fall for this tiresome tripe! And yes, I said TRIPE! The guns in our hands, even as criminals are ALLOWED to reach you. Rest assured if Black Criminals were out on the streets KILLING NAZI-COPS AT THE RATE THAT THEY KILL US...? How FAST do you think THE ILLEGAL GUNS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES WILL DRY UP!? How FAST do you think Black Criminals will find themselves WEAPONLESS! Now that they're not FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT of being a Pawn for White People who are INTENTIONALLY taking Their Massive-Gun
Purchases at these Fairs and then making extra cash selling them to Whites THAT
THEY KNOW will start the process OR FINISH IT, of turning those guns from LEGAL SALES to DIRTY. And ALWAYS REMEMBER, Nazi-America DOES NOT ALLOW WEAPONS DEALERS TO SELL ARMS HERE. So ALL ILLEGAL GUNS STARTED OFF AS LEGIT-SALES! NEVER FORGET THAT.)
Around the nation, communities and police departments are struggling to adapt to an era of heightened scrutiny, when every stop can be recorded on a cellphone. But residents, clergy members and neighborhood leaders say the past six weeks have made another reality clear: that as much as some officers regularly humiliated and infuriated many who live here, angering gang members and solid citizens alike, the solution has to be better policing,
not a diminished police presence.

“Without law enforcement, there is no order,” Pastor Weah said. “In truth, residents want a strong police force, but they also want accountability.” She said that she sympathized with many officers who did their jobs well but were now just as hated as the abusive officers, and that she prayed the spate of killings would be the shock that finally caused change.
“This crisis was bound to happen because of the broken relationship between law enforcement and the people,” she said. “When something gets this infected, you have to break it down and start from new.”
At least 55 people, the highest pace since the early 1970s, have been killed in Baltimore since May 1, when the state’s attorney for the city, Marilyn J. Mosby, announced the criminal charges against the officers. Victims of shootings have included people involved in criminal activity and young children who were simply in the wrong place.
A 9-year-old boy was shot in the leg over the Memorial Day weekend. Another boy, Kester Browne, 7, a Chinese-language student at an international school, was fatally shot along with his mother, Jennifer Jeffrey-Browne, 31. They were two of the city’s 42 homicide victims in May.
At the time of her announcement, Ms. Mosby’s charges were seen as calming the city. But they enraged the police rank and file, who pulled back. The number of arrests plunged, and the murder rate doubled in a month. The reduced police presence gave criminals space to operate, according to community leaders and some law enforcement officials.

The soaring violence has made Baltimore a battleground for political arguments about whether a backlash against police tactics has led to more killings in big cities like New York, St. Louis and Chicago, and whether “de-policing,” as academics call it, can cause crime to rise.
Still, the speed and severity of the police pullback here appear unlike anything that has happened in other major cities. And rather than a clear test case, Baltimore is a reminder of how complicated policing issues are and how hard it can be to draw solid conclusions from a month or two of crime and police response.
For example, police commanders here attribute the spike in violence in large part to a unique factor: a flood of black-market opiates stolen from 27 pharmacies during looting in April, enough for 175,000 doses now illegally available for sale.
They say drug gangs are now oversupplied with inventory from the looting, resulting in a violent battle for market share from a finite base of potential customers. Gangs sell a single OxyContin dose for $30, twice what they get for a dose of heroin, said Gary Tuggle, a former Baltimore police officer who was the head of the city’s Drug Enforcement Administration office until this month.
Police leaders acknowledge, though, that they do not yet know how many of the recent murders were drug-related. Mr. Tuggle also said he took issue with “this idea that the only reason for the rise in violence” is drugs.
“It’s hard to police effectively if you are only concerned about self-preservation,” he said. “If you are not challenging them because of the need for self-preservation, then these folks are likely going to go out and commit these crimes.”
Whether hostility from residents or police slowdowns lead to increases in crime is hotly debated among academics. David A. Harris, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh who studies police accountability, said increases were usually attributable to local circumstances, including the drug trade and gang rivalries.
Baltimore commanders say that their officers are engaged — making major arrests, conducting raids and taking weapons off the streets — but that basic police work is now more labor intensive. For instance, an officer interviewing witnesses may be surrounded by scores of onlookers with cellphone cameras.
Officials from the western Baltimore neighborhoods hardest hit by the spate of murders — including City Councilman Nick J. Mosby, who is married to Ms. Mosby, the state’s attorney — say commanders have also doubled the number of officers per cruiser for safety reasons.
“The visibility has significantly decreased,” Mr. Mosby said. While many people in his district want a larger police presence, he added, “you talk to others and they don’t even want to see a police officer.”

The crisis has also set the police commissioner — Anthony W. Batts, who took command three years ago after serving as police chief in Oakland and Long Beach, Calif. — between a city angry at the department’s posture toward many residents, and police union officials who suggest he does not fully support rank-and-file officers.
Tensions with the police union broke out into the open late last month, when Mr. Batts apologized emotionally to members for not preparing for unrest on the scale of April’s riot, which wounded more than 100 officers.
“I got my guys hurt, and I got to own that, and I stand tall behind that,” he told the union members. “That won’t happen again in this organization.”
Healing the chasm between the police and western Baltimore is the job of a new commander, Capt. Sheree Briscoe, now acting major in charge of the three-square-mile district that sees much of the worst violence. After her appointment late last month, she moved quickly to bring community leaders into the fold, a new approach that has encouraged Pastor Weah and others.
Captain Briscoe promised that this was only the beginning of changes. “You cannot just attack the drug trade” alone, she said, citing deep-rooted social and economic challenges, and problems with things like trash, lighting and vacant homes, that needed to be “holistically” addressed.

Just as many community leaders say they need the police back, Captain Briscoe says residents need to be more involved with police planning. She said she intended to share more information and to include residents of the district in deciding police priorities.
“The direction that we’re going in now, the community is more a part of it,” she said. “They are going to be more a part of the process, as opposed to affected by the process.”
For now, the clergy members who fill much of the leadership vacuum in the city’s toughest neighborhoods have been the police’s main avenue to try to reconnect with angry and alienated residents.
But the problems in western Baltimore existed long before Mr. Gray’s death, and many of them go well beyond policing.
In Sandtown-Winchester, the nearly all-black district where Mr. Gray took his last steps a few blocks from Pastor Weah’s church, one in four children age 10 to 17 were arrested from 2005 to 2009, according to a report by the city’s Health Department. The neighborhood had twice as much poverty and unemployment as the rest of Baltimore, which is itself one of the nation’s poorest major cities.

Longtime residents say the recreation centers they remember going to after class have closed, creating more risk that young people will come under the sway of drug dealers.
“We emulated the guys who were best in pool, best in Ping-Pong, best in basketball,” said George Butler, 40, sitting in his barbershop near the scene of the worst rioting and looting in April. “And that counteracted the other guys we looked up to” — drug dealers.
Mr. Butler went to prison a decade ago for distributing heroin with a feared drug organization. But he wants the police back on the job.
With the force diminished, he said, criminals think, “I don’t have to worry about the police coming, so why not?”
Police assertiveness “is a gift and a curse,” Mr. Butler added. “To some extent, it keeps the violence down. But when they become overaggressive or abusive or combative to the citizens, then it causes them to be in an uproar.”
Just how much the Police Department changes may depend on the outcome of a Justice Department investigation into whether the force has used abusive patterns and practices against residents.
That inquiry may take a year or more, two Justice Department officials told about 20 residents who gathered last week at Sharon Baptist Church in Sandtown. At the meeting, residents described frustrations that ranged from the difficulty of finding affordable housing to humiliating police practices like strip- and cavity-searching men in full view of bystanders.
The police say there were 13 homicides in the first 11 days of June. One teenager outside the booming open-air drug market down the block from Pastor Weah’s church was not optimistic that the pace would slow.
“Summertime,” he said. “That’s when they do all the killing.”
How cute that they close the article out with the words of a scum-bag who's begging for Nazi-cops, but his ex-con-ass can't muster up enough REFORMED CRIMINALS to either sit with the criminals GOING ALONG WITH the Nazi-Cops and wildin-out CONVENIENTLY ON CUE! Or!? Put together enough Blackmen to patrol the neighborhoods TO PUT A CLAMP ON THE CRIME. And one last thing? Another reason why this particular neighborhood and section of Baltimore has gone BELLY-UP!? Is thanks to Black People no longer investing in Black Communities and BUILDING THEM BACK UP. Our Black Flight AWAY FROM OTHER BLACK PEOPLE is also a DEFINITE CAUSE FOR THIS TOO.
We then race to the White Suburbs and get treated LIKE SHIT, instead of working together TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER OUR BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. A mistake I am DEFINITELY GOING TO CORRECT as I make way up from the bottom.
