The Democratic National Committee website has nothing about Ferguson or police
abuse and militarization. Why not?
Is it unfair to expect one of our two political parties to acknowledge the systemic national problem of racism and violence by police?
And I don't understand why supposedly loyal Democrats think that calling out up the obvious silence is an act of subversion against the Democratic Party. It is completely unacceptable.
Are we waiting until the "free market" solves the problem? Are we simply afraid of angering the gods by bringing it up? Are we waiting for Republicans to take the lead on this?
Also there is nothing about respecting a person's right to privacy as a Democratic Party value.
But they do have this, saying not only are they going to spy on you, they are going to share what ever they collect with other countries.
This means continuing to invest heavily in intelligence and information sharing and promoting those networks among our allies.
The DNC makes sentimental use of MLK lead protest photos. Did the 1960s represent the end of civil protest against injustice and police overreach? Are you feeling so much safer now?
At what point will our political organizations acknowledge the threats from within that are slowly but surely ripping the nation apart. How bad does it have to get for us before that happens?
