Police – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Tue, 04 Aug 2020 14:44:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Police – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 Defund the Police or planned parenthood http://selfequanimity.com/defund-the-police-or-planned-parenthood/ http://selfequanimity.com/defund-the-police-or-planned-parenthood/#respond Sat, 27 Jun 2020 05:11:56 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=584 We as a people talk about defunding the police because the police are so evil, people are really mad at the police right now, we as a people should be asking very basic questions, according to the Washington post the number of unarmed black men who were killed by police last year (2019) were just 9 as compared to 19 whites. The funny thing about this is that the so-called protest destroyed a lot of poor neighborhoods,  black people say we don’t have money yet we destroy our neighborhoods. Let me show you how someone else benefits from this. First, they destroy the neighborhoods like the wendy’s that was burnt down,  so a few people had just lost their jobs.  second, we talk about defunding the police,  well because of the backlash that the police gets,  most of them will step back and stop policing poor neighborhoods, rich neighborhoods are gated. The very people who say defund the police, are the once who are going to suffer the most, the rich who talk for us, don’t live like us. Automatically, crime goes up, after all, no police would want to be called racist so they won’t go into those neighborhoods. Crime goes up, bringing the value of that neighborhood down, very soon someone will buy out the whole neighborhood and gentrify the whole neighborhood , your state governor or mayor won’t say NO, to moneyour especially if it’s cash. They will buy it for pennies on the dollar. As stated before, we just gentrified our own neighborhoods FOR FREE. Does anyone  really think defunding the Police is still a good idea?

As a society, we need people to make it function, this brings me to planned Parenthood set up in our neighborhoods.  Planned parenthood is systematically placed in low-income neighborhoods,  low income neighborhoods are synonymous with black neighborhoods. Let me say this, No one has killed more black people than us black people. Homicides, drugs, the prison system, KKK, not even black on black crime, (ahh I guess abortion is a form of black on black crime). All of these groups couldn’t kill us like we have killed us.

Black people used to be 15% of the population, due to abortion, we are now 13% of the population. Black women abort more babies than any other race in America.  It is funny when they want to sell the idea of killing our own babies they call it reproductive health. Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortion.  it is strange that planned parenthood turned down federal funds,  one may ask why because it needs all the money it can get, especially since they say it is doing a lot of good in the neighborhoods. They even said because “they” have refused federal funds a lot of low-income women will go without “care” Its number one client according to racial groups are black women. The truth is they turned out federal funds because the money came with restrictions on abortions, for them if they couldn’t provide the one thing that they were invented for, they will just not take the money, and if it was true that they were there for other “reproductive” health  Like they say, they still would have taken the money.

Magaret Sanger

Let us look at the intentions of the founder of planned parenthood,. Founder of planned parenthood is Margaret Sanger, she was born September 14th, 1879 in NY, and died September 6th, 1966, A few of her words

  1. ” A free race cannot be born by slave mothers, ‘ ( she called black women slave mothers)”
  2. ” Birth Control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race”
  3.  ” We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro” ( in her letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble)

She accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the KKK  and she said  when she started speaking she felt like she accomplished her purpose

  1. Eugenics without birth control seems to us a house build on sand it is at the mercy of the rising stream of the unfit.
Hillary Clinton

She was admired by our beloved Hillary Clinton. She even received an award from planned parenthood, and these were her remarks

“Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision … And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her.”- Hillary Clinton

Our lives should matter to us, from birth to death. Its funny 80% of planned parenthood establishments are in black neighborhood,  if blacks are just 13% of the population( which includes men), this means black women are less, how is it that we are responsible for approximately 37% all abortions in the united STATES??

Defund the Police ? http://selfequanimity.com/defund-the-police/ http://selfequanimity.com/defund-the-police/#respond Wed, 10 Jun 2020 07:43:34 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=511 Does anyone really think this is a good idea?  I don’t think so, defunding the police is a knee jerk reaction. To me the police is like security for the poor, you know the ones who can’t afford private security. Defunding the Police can’t be a good idea.  I know these days people don’t really like the Police. The question should be asked why are we defunding the police?? is it because of Police Brutality? Systemic racism?  Poverty? Or just an emotional reaction? If we defund the police where are those funds going? ( taxpayers money) , if it is police brutality, sure there is a problem there, retraining, police reform might help, a lot more can be done, the quota can be lifted so the police are not under pressure to make criminals out of innocent people/citizens.   If it is systemic racism then we have a confusing situation. Let us look at Washington DC for example, according to CBS up to 50% of the Police force in DC are black, but all the problems communities have with the Police were still present. Might I remind everyone that one of the Police officers who stood by and watched George Floyd as he was being killed was actually black? in the case of Sean Bell who was shot and killed in NY, some of the Police officers who opened fire on him were black. So it couldn’t be systemic racism, maybe there is a larger problem here. If it is poverty then the police are not the problem. I don’t need to comment on the hate part. Hate is an emotion, I can’t make a case for emotion.

We are all furious about what happened but defunding the Police is not the answer. Where are those funds going? More social programs???. What programs are those ?? Public schools are funded by property taxes. Let us talk about social programs for a second, does anyone remember some social programs that were supposed to benefit communities?  Like the war on poverty, war on drugs??. Should the money go towards more public housing?  I would say NO because that never solved the problem of poverty. It only gives people just enough to get buy but not enough for anything else.  Policing may need an overhaul, no one has even talked about what we would be replacing the police with.  It will be total chaos. Let us agree that if the Police hadn’t been around this protest/riot/looting the situation could have been far worse. The police do stand for something, in some states the police were actually kneeling with the protesters, So most  Police officers know what happened was wrong but it doesn’t happen every day, and we know this. I  would advocate for Police overhaul not getting rid of it entirely.

Some also make the argument that the history of Police started with slave patrols, they use this as evidence of systemic racism well. We cannot deny that there are racist elements within the police force. The police were used in the past for racist purposes. The police are not ALL BAD.(one thing we must remember)

Let us not also forget that we are in a recession to some families being a Police officer is their major source of income .if we defund the Police we are taking jobs away from people and that is not right. Like the case of David Dorn, he was a retired Police officer and was killed trying to protect a store from looters, let us not forget that so many Police officers have also died in the line of duty. And they deserve our respect and 1-minute silence

Another fun fact,  70% of income taxes are paid by men yet most social programs in social services are for women, which brings me to this point. Most police brutality victims are men, Most suicides victims are men,  I think we should fight for men as much as we can. The police suffer too,  according to some news networks, 400 officers were injured due to this riot and two died, So far.

Do we like to say black lives matter??  here are a few black people who lost their lives, because of the protest and riots according to forbes.com

David Dorn

 

Calvin L Horton JR, 43, he was shot near the police department, he was a Staff Sargent in the United States Army.

Dave Patrick Underwood 53, he was killed in California, he was a Service Protective Officer

Chris Beaty 38 was a football Player, 

Italia Kelly 22, shot while leaving the protest for George Floyd ( even though she wasn’t black, she died at a tender age of 22)

David Dorn, 77 Ex-police officer, got shot while protecting a store from looting

I’ll end with this, last year 9 unarmed black men were shot by the police vs 19 unarmed whites. You do the math, do we still need to defund the Police?
