BY : LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

Since October 8th, the seventh church, six of them predominantly African-American, and the 7th ( Shrine Of St . Joseph ) which had a majority white congregation, but was located in a mostly black neighborhood has been set on fire in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

In an area close to Ferguson Missouri, where some many protests against police brutality and racism have taken place, many people in the African-American community believe the police department is not doing enough to solve the spree of what seems to be white supremacist domestic terroristic arson attacks on the black christian community.

CALIFORNIA’S GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN SIGNS ANTI-PROFILING BILL! (ARTICLE )

image

BY: LEON KWASI KUNTUO-ASARE

According to CBS SF BAY AREA, the governor of California, Jerry Brown last week, signed legislation, changing the definition of racial profiling, in the state.

This will require local police departments to collect demographic on the people they stop.

Over half a dozen states have passed similar legislation, since the shooting and killing of Michael Brown, by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson last year.

People who support the legislation, say the $9 million annual cost of the program, could help save police departments millions more in expensive settlements, when people are unlawfully killed by law enforcement officers.
