The degree of anti-black sentiment throughout SFPD is extreme.

Dante King wrote in the email to DHR Director Micki Callahan, (San Francisco) Examiner obtained the email through a public records request past week.

King later said:

While there are some SFPD who possess somewhat of a balanced view of racism and anti-blackness, there are an equal number (if not more)-who possess and exude deeply anti-black sentiment.

The U.S. Department of Justice reviewed the SFPD in October of 2016, and discovered the department had:

numerous indicators of implicit and institutionalized bias against minority groups.

As of this writing the SFPD has only completed 16% of the 272 recommendations for reform that were issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SPENTS MILLIONS TO PREVENT LAWS THAT COULD HELP VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE SEEK JUSTICE

By: Leon Kwasi Kuntuo-Asare

In late 2018 Pope Francis, while speaking about victims of church sexual abuse, said:

“the pain of the victims and their families is also our pain, and so it is urgent that we once more reaffirm our commitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults”.

Despite, that statement by the leader of the Catholic church, which could sound inspirational to advocates for victims of sexual abuse, the church actually spent over $10 million dollars lobbying against bills that could make the church responsible criminally and civilly for the heinous crimes of their clergy.

According to a new study that was revealed by CBS News, in the eastern part of the United States, between the years 2011-2018 the church spent:

$5,322,979 in Pennsylvania

$2,912,772 in New York

$875,261 in Connecticut

$633,458 in New Jersey

$537,551 in Massachusetts

$134,345 in New Hampshire

$124,260 in Maine

$61,961 in Maine

Over $10.6 million in total to challenge bills that if passed into law, could challenge the current restrictions on the statute of limitations and make it a lot easier for adults who were sexually abused as kids to seek justice in a criminal and or civil court against the Catholic church.

By: Leon Kwasi Kuntuo-Asare

Some local leaders are on high alert and believe something similar to the horrors that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, during the Unite the Right Rally in 2017 could occur this coming Memorial Day weekend.

Over this forthcoming holiday weekend, thousands of White supremacist extremists are expected to March in the city of Dayton, Ohio, for a Klu Klux Klan rally, and they are expected to be confronted by anti-racism protesters like Antifa and The New Black Panther Party For Self-Defense.

According to thegrio:

โ€œCourthouse Square will be a powder keg on the 25th,โ€ Rabbi Ari Ballaban, director of Daytonโ€™s Jewish Community Relations Council, warned in a statement. โ€œNot only will the KKK be present, but there will likely be thousands of angry counter-protestors there, many bused in from around the region.โ€
