Dozens of Ferguson-related reforms were proposed in Missouri. Just one passed

The Missouri legislature ended its session Friday night having passed virtually none of the reforms activists sought in the aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown.
Activists had been tracking more than 100 bills related to criminal justice and policing, but just one of substance had made its way out of the legislature, they say.

“This was such an opportunity for the Missouri legislature to step up and do the right thing. The people of the state called on our lawmakers to fix this broken system,” said Denise Lieberman a senior attorney for the Advancement Project, a civil rights group, and co-chair of the Don’t Shoot Coalition, a group formed to address policy reform after Brown’s shooting.
When the session began in early January, advocates had high hopes for, at the
very least, a fruitful discussion. They were encouraged, they said, by word from the legislative black caucus that legislative leadership and the governor were supportive of their efforts. But, in the end, several expressed frustration with the course the legislature took.

“To now, at this point, see every piece of legislation that they put forward get stifled, get choked out, it’s disheartening,” said Montague Simmons, chairman and executive director of the Organization for Black Struggle, a black political empowerment organization.
The scores of bills — introduced mostly by the legislature’s few Democrats — offered a menu of reforms. They would have developed standards for eyewitness identification, required body cameras, restricted police from racial profiling, required diversity and sensitivity training, and modified state rules governing the use of lethal force, something Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon threw his support behind in his State of the State address.

The legislature did pass one bill advocates had been calling for, which was aimed at limiting municipal reliance on fines for revenue, a practice highlighted in a scathing Justice Department report on Ferguson released earlier this year. The bill lowers the cap on how much revenue a municipality can generate from traffic tickets from 30 percent to 20 percent statewide and to 12.5 percent in St. Louis County, which is plagued by excessive traffic violations and is home to Ferguson. The bill also bans courts from throwing individuals in jail over minor traffic offenses.


Despite their hopes, advocates were not encouraged by legislative leadership early in the session.
“We’re not going to have a ‘Ferguson agenda’ here in the House,” House Speaker John Diehl (R) said at his opening day news conference on Jan. 7. “I think that the Senate has indicated the same thing. I view the situation of Ferguson as really a reflection of decades of bad government policy,” he said, adding that the chamber would look at issues related to economics, educational opportunities, and the role and function of government.
“Those men and women who serve the public by defending our lives and property—they shouldn’t be scapegoats for what are bad public policies,” he said. Diehl resigned Thursday afternoon after the Kansas City Star uncovered what it described as “sexually suggestive texts” with a 19-year-old intern.

Two police-related bills proceeded in a meaningful way, said Sarah Rossi, director of advocacy and policy at the ACLU of Missouri. But neither are ones she would have supported. One, which passed the House, would have banned state-mandated body cameras and allowed law enforcement agencies to deny access to mobile video recordings. Another, which saw late action Friday but still went nowhere, would have limited officers’ use of deadly force.
Though their efforts may have largely failed this session, proponents of reform said they plan to continue their fight.
“Long-term policy change takes time,” Lieberman said. Advocates plan to use the recommendations of a state commission on Ferguson, expected to wrap up its work in the coming months, to engage lawmakers over the summer and work with them on pre-filing bills for the next session.

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

Permanent Michael Brown memorial installed in Ferguson


FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) _ A plaque and metallic likeness of a dove have been installed in Michael Brown’s memory near the spot where the unarmed, black 18-year-old was shot and killed last summer by a white Ferguson police officer.
Crews installed the plaque and dove Thursday hundreds of feet apart on a sidewalk in Ferguson, Missouri, one day after the mid-street memorial for Brown was cleared. Wednesday would have been Brown’s 19th birthday.
The makeshift memorial had cropped up within hours of Brown’s death and became what many saw as a symbol of a new civil rights movement over race and policing.
Brown’s death touched off protests and a “Black Lives Matter” movement that gained momentum with subsequent police killings of unarmed black men in other U.S. cities

The gun police claim VonDerrit was carrying at the time of his murder does not have his DNA on it.

The STL Police Department also “found no criminal wrong doing” and decided not to seek charges against Jason Flanery.

Cleveland Police Filed Charges like “Aggravated Menacing” & “Inducing Panic” On Tamir Rice To Justify Shooting Him
If you’re a cop and you’ve just shot a 12-year old kid dead without giving him a chance to follow your orders, what do you do? You file a report making it look like he was a criminal, that’s what.

According to recently obtained documents from the Cleveland Police Department, 12-year old Tamir Rice was going to be charged with the outrageous crimes of “aggravated menacing” and “inducing panic.”

Dear police: We give those crimes back to you. All across the United States, you have induced panic and served as aggravating menaces and have gotten away with these crimes for far too long.

How dare you ever consider charging this young brother with these crimes. He was no menace, but a sixth-grade boy, and the only reason you or anyone else panicked was because of his brown skin. Here are eight white people who pointed real guns at real people and lived to tell the story.

Here is the bogus criminal report for Tamir.

Notice the following three points.

1. They list three victims of Tamir Rice:
   1. The State of Ohio
   2. Officer Loehmann (who shot and killed Tamir)
   3. Officer Garmback (who drove the vehicle)
2. This is essential. They are not claiming Tamir was a menace or induced panic to other people in the park, but to the officers. ABSURD.
3. At the end of the report, notice that they say this complaint was “abated by death.“
4. Notice the officer who shot and killed Tamir claims to have had minor injuries.

CLEVELAND OFFICER MICHAEL BRELO HAS JUST BEEN ACQUITTED OF MANSLAUGHTER IN THE MURDERS OF TIMOTHY RUSSELL AND MALISSA WILLIAMS.

Officer Michael Brelo was one of 13 officers who shot at Timothy Russell and his passenger,Malissa Williams, during a chase through the Cleveland area on Nov. 29, 2012. Police officers fired 137 rounds at the car, prosecutors have said, including 49 by Officer Brelo.

Officer Brelo climbed onto the car’s hood and fired at least 15 rounds from close range, including the fatal shots.

Officer Brelo opted for a bench trial before Judge John P. O’Donnell of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. Defense attorneys said their client had feared for his life and believed gunfire was coming from Mr. Russell’s car. No gun was recovered.

Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell were unarmed.

The DOJ has announced that they will review the Brelo case.

I never forgot that devil Darren Wilson. Would love to know what he's up to now a days. He came out after that whole Ferguson thing and said he lied.
