The Memphis Police Department has become a death squad. Police shot and killed an unidentified man on Wednesday night, April 10. He was the fifth person (not the fourth as the newspaper incorrectly states) Memphis cops have shot and killed so far in 2013, and the 16th to die at the hands of the police since January, 2012. Tomorrow, funeral services will be held for George Golden, who died last week from injuries he received on March 27 when he was shot and then beaten by police as he lay injured on the ground. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/apr/10/memphis-police-shoot-erratic-driver-in-clash/
Until there is community control of the Memphis Police Department, the police will continue to act as judge, jury and executioners.
Peace and love,

Thanks to the Memphis Black Autonomy Federation, we learn about the many deaths of Memphis area residents by police officers. In 2012, there were at least 12 people, and that total does not include dead inmates whose demise is sometimes covered up like the Wrongful Death of Larry Neal, my disabled brother who was secretly arrested for 18 days before being killed on August 1, 2003. It appears that 2013 is a more bloody year than 2012 was, since there were already five new deaths before the end of April.
In my experience, the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) has a "hands off" policy regarding violence from the Memphis Police Department and in the Shelby County, Tennessee Jail, even when the jail was under direct overview by the USDOJ. One does not know how much their protection from federal investigations and accountability costs Shelby County officials annually.
This writer feels strongly that if community control was established over the Memphis Police Department, the community oversight board would be peopled with individuals like those NAACP members who are/were on the Shelby County Board of Commissioners in 2003, which covered up Larry Neal's murder by "The Cochran Firm fraud" (Google the term). Unless and until the USDOJ protects the human rights of disenfranchised citizens - the black and poor - police violence will continue to escalate throughout America.

Memphis Black Autonomy Network Cop Watch Most victims of police misconduct are Black and/or mentally ill. See the incidents reported at this site: Psych Forums - Living with Mental Illness: Police Brutality http://www.psychforums.com/living-with-mental-illness/topic92635.html Congratulations to Blacks in Law Enforcement of America members (BLEA) who joined the quest to improve oversight of police departments. See BLEA at this link http://www.bleausa.org/ We Believe in true Freedom, Justice, Equality, Fairness, and Effectiveness of law enforcement issues, and the effect of those issues upon the total community.
March 9, 2013 - Challenge to Memphis Residents from Memphis Black Autonomy Federation:
From all over the country, people are coming to Memphis for the International Days of Action Against Police Brutality on March 15 and 16. They are coming to protest the police killings in Memphis, which in 2012 were the largest number in the country, and they are coming to take part in the process of building a mass movement against racism and police brutality.
The question is, what will people in Memphis do? Will they embarrass themselves and the movement by staying home and "finding something better" to do? Or will they stand up, get over their fear, and finally begin to fight back over the deaths of their loved ones, the intimidation of their communication, and the corruption in the Memphis Police Department?
Sitting back and hiding is not the answer. Now is the time to speak out. Join us on March 15 for the march and rally and on March 16 for the mini-conference. For more information, contact the Memphis Black Autonomy Federation, email organize.the.hood@gmail.com, or call (901)674-8430.
Love and struggle, Lorenzo Komboa Ervin Acting Vice Chair Memphis Black Autonomy Federation
See a video announcement by Black Autonomy Cop Watch in Memphis, Tennessee regarding the "police reign of terror in Memphis." The Memphis
police body count is presently ten(10) people since February 2012. The tenth person killed was a 15-year-old youth, Justin Tompson, who was killed by an off-duty police officer when he and friends went to the store for candy, like Trayvon Martin. The video is embedded below and is at Facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=431103300271771 This article has ten(10) links.
Black Autonomy Cop Watch knows that the Justice Department makes the frequent killings by Memphis police officers possible by sweeping wrongful deaths under the rug. Larry Neal's murder http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com was intended to be under there, and I am censored, terrorized, and persecuted for putting the truth before the public and because I reveal The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm fraud against its clients, which happens continuously. The latest victims are black California workers whose signatures were forged onto a settlement agreement in their racial discrimination case against their employer. See the details in the next article in this MaryLovesJustice blog, "COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD IN CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/10/cochran-firm-fraud-in-ca-court-of.html
.
STALKERS MADE THE VIDEO FEATURING LORENZO ERVIN APPEAR HUGE ON THIS BLOG TO CENSOR IT, BUT IF YOU CLICK THE VIDEO, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR HIS SPEECH. THE DIMENSIONS FOR THAT EMBEDDED VIDEO SHOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: 560 x 315 like the YouTube video below. But Africans in America exist under the Dred Scott Decision and the Black Codes. There are many citizenship rights Africans in America do not have, and freedom of press is one of them. Apparently, the right to life is another. Blacks' right to vote in the USA is reviewed and voted on by Congress every 25 years under the Voting Rights Act. Therefore, African Americans' citizenship is of a retractable nature, and certain exemptions apply. People who descended from slaves who were brought here for enforced servitude 400 years ago were allegedly "freed" and made citizens, but people who arrived in America only a few years ago and were made citizens through the naturalization process have enduring citizenship minus the exemptions and retractable voting rights.
"CITIZEN" is usually defined this way: A native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection (distinguished from alien). Allegiance involves paying taxes and providing military defense. Africans in America do that part, but government protection seriously lacks enforcement.
A spokesperson for Black Autonomy Cop Watch said, "The most dangerous gang in the city is the Memphis police department, of
whom 24 have been arrested so far this year for crimes ranging from
pimping and prostitution, drug distribution, assault on children, rape,
robbery, and other offenses. This is the most corrupt police force in the country, and a threat
to the lives of citizens of this city. Our approach is to try to expose
and protest this corruption. The local NAACP and other traditional civil
right groups have been either silent or in full support of the
authorities."
Below see an embedded video featuring a song called "WAKE UP EVERYBODY" from YouTube link http://youtu.be/-TDfPgd3Kyc . It is set at 560 x 315 like the video above from Facebook is set.

Thanks for reading and sharing this human rights article by Mary Neal, sister of slain mentally, physically disabled man, Larry Neal, who died after 18 days of secret incarceration in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003; America's Most Censored Person http://goo.gl/aELp3 I am founder of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi and director of Dog Justice for Mentally Ill http://DogJusticeforMentallyIll.blogspot.com
Everyplace where the Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill icon should appear on my Care2 homepage at this link http://www.care2.com/c2c/people/profile.html?pid=513396753 , it was replaced with a Photobucket announcement falsely declaring that the picture was removed by the owner. Photobucket has absolutely nothing to do with any art I ever used. I will write the company a letter to see whether Photobucket knows it is used to censor me. You would be surprised at how many major companies and government officials participate in censoring Mary Neal, "America's Most Censored" http://goo.gl/aELp3 Jailing mentally ill people is big business - 1.25 million inmates, and discrimination is as American as apple pie.
