The national murder rate is 5.0 per 100,000 people. Between 2013-2019, St. Louis police have killed black men at a rate of 7.0 per 100,000. Oklahoma City police have killed black men at a rate of 8.5 per 100,000.
A Black man in St. Louis or Oklahoma City is more likely to be killed by a police officer than the average American is to be killed by anyone, civilian or police.

The Founders were so opposed to a lawless tyrannical executive that they created a ridiculously anti-democratic institution called the Senate and required an impossibly high 2/3rds vote to remove a president for lawless conduct. Brilliant design for our Constitutonal Republic.
And remember, the Senate was originally designed to have state legislatures choose the Senators. So almost completely unaccountable to the voters. And Republicans control most of the state legislatures.
And the Founders also made the US Constitution one of the most difficult constitutions to amend in the entire world. And the one provision that *can’t* be amended (at least not without a unanimous vote)? The anti-democratic structure of the Senate. Massive structural deficiency.

The Mississippi Governor who created Parchman prison said he made it to run as an “efficient slave plantation.” The most in-depth account of its conditions is a book named “Worse than Slavery.” It was designed to exacerbate black enslavement, as we’re seeing with each news story.
They literally took a barbaric institution and then repackaged it to operate within a fixed, tiny cell wall with no possibility of oversight/outside observation. The whole enterprise must be shut down.

The Trump administration has indicated they’re going to implement a travel ban against Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan and Tanzania - which are among the fastest growing black nations in world. They have offered no explanation for this, other than their racism. thehill.com/homenews/admin…
Nigeria is the largest black nation and where the most African immigrants to US come from. Trump doesn’t want black immigration so he’s banning Nigeria. Tanzania is projected to be 9th most populous nation in the world by the end of the century. They added it to the list, too.
They are very explicit that they don’t want black people to come to America. Period. And many of those who’ve died in ICE custody over the past months have also been black. Trump’s immigration policy is killing black people in order to keep America as white as possible.

How Trump reversed the Obama murder surge - WND po.st/RjTs55 via @worldnetdaily
The media chose to remain clueless, Emanuel did not. He explained the phenomenon to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, saying, “[Cops] don’t want to be a news story themselves. They don’t want their career ended early, and it’s having an impact.”
As Emanuel knew, the crime surge really began in August 2014. A day after the Ferguson, Missouri, shooting of Michael Brown by Police Officer Darren Wilson, the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart appeared on MSNBC to explain what happened. He got everything wrong.

Police across the US arrest protesters en masse, publish their names and photos on Twitter, and then drop the cases. Activists endure abuse, doxing, lost jobs, and long-term harassment as a result: theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
In St. Louis, police surrounded and arrested 33 protesters, many for "failure to disperse," then published their names and home addresses on Twitter. Nearly all of them never faced any charges.
.@berkeleypolice have repeatedly arrested protesters for carrying "banned weapons," including scarves, bandanas and signs – and then posted their names and mugshots on Twitter. They rarely face charges and are almost never convicted.

Let's talk @SLMPD and surrounding @stlcountypd and explain some of the broader issues with the police in St. Louis.
The biggest issue is of course that @SLMPD is the most VIOLENT police department in the country, by far.

mappingpoliceviolence.org/compare-police…
When it comes to crime clearance rates (solved crimes), @SLMPD falls below the national average in every category.
