The FBI is investigating the death of George Floyd, black man who was pinned on the neck by a police officer and later died in custody. Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests. While the officers involved have yet to be charged, Ellison argues a “quick arrest” might “make people feel better about justice” it is “important” for investigators to “take the time to make sure that these charges, if they are brought forward, stick.

    @David, the divorce is probably a protective measure to safeguard their assets, because they see a civil suit shortly. Watch it go through quickly, with a friendly judge and she gets all the assets.

    Will be done before rmthe victims family file a civil suit.

    If I had to advise the victims family, I would think that an injunction to freeze the division of assets would be in order.

    Not a bad idea, even though in these cases the tax payers in the cities hiring the cops foot the bill in the civil suits.

    On another note, it has been pointed out that the prosecutors and the police force work hand in glove as part of a team. Hence their reluctance to prosecute (unless the officer is black and the victim white because race TRUMPS all). Heard one congressmen agree with me that he would have to keep his eye on even this case. Winning a case depends on how one presents the evidence and argues the law.

    The question of House Negros and Uncle Toms is particularly important in the Barbados context. Ever since 1675, when an enslaved house servant by the name of Anna betrayed an insurrection of African people in Barbados that had been carefully planned over a three year period, the aspirations of Black people in Barbados have been betrayed by other Black people, so it is incumbent upon us to understand this phenomenon.

    I am very aware that some Bajans consider me to be a House Negro because I have spoken up for the truth even when that truth was politically inconvenient for me. This occurred primarily in relation to the episode where Charles Herbert and others were arrested and charged with importing marijuana. It would have been politically convenient to remain silent, or have joined in the agitation for his conviction, but I just by accident happened to be in possession of information which proved him not guilty. That information will eventually be published in court, but until then I am seen as a House Negro. So be it. My regard for the truth is more important to me than my reputation. It is interesting that John was ever so supportive of me back then even though I was calling him a racist to his face. Well that’s not surprising because John and Charles are related through the interlocking marriages among the Barbados White elites of that generation.

    So even though people will call me a House Negro I will not shrink from telling the truth, and I will not shrink from critical examination of the House Negro phenomenon.

    What you heard is very true. District attorneys are elected and they depend on the cops to be seen as doing a good job. They are reluctant to get into the bad books of the cops and their unions, so quite often grand juries and not given all the facts to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. That is what happened in the Eric Garner incident.

    The COCONUT PEOPLE here calling someone Uncle Tom is pure comedy and at the same time morbidly sad because they can’t even look in the mirror and see that they are the Massa of All House Negros. A true ripe, rank. Coconut indeed. A TRUE case of pot calling the kettle BLACK…lololol.

    I define a House Negro or Uncle Tom as a Black person who sells out the interests of fellow Black people in return for material or psychological benefits, particularly by following the leadership, or supporting the advancement, of racists. This makes your question about the Barbados House of Assembly, and Barbados political culture in general, entirely pertinent.

    MAY 29 GEORGE FLOYD PROTEST IN BROOKLYN THAT TURNED VIOLENT

    I have an excellent relationship with the leadership of the NYPD. I also have dozens of relatives and friends, of all races, who are NYPD officers who I love, respect, and pray for their safety.

    However, as a leader in this City, I strongly condemn the NYPD’s violent attacks on the George Floyd murder protesters in Brooklyn last night. The violence was incited by the overly aggressive, heavy handed, militaristic posture of the NYPD.

    Consequently, the situation became riotous and the NYPD apparently suffered the worst human and property damage in it’s history. I do no condone violence against law enforcement officers or damage to police and city property. It is deplorable.

    Equally deplorable, is the continued police violence against black citizens. This is why our young people are taking a stand all over America to say enough is enough! CGID stands with them. I stand firmly with them.

    The authorities should stop complaining about the violence, looting and burning, and fix the problem of hopelessness and pervasive police brutality in communities of color. This will help to assuage the crisis that is becoming more and more explosive.

    I’m happy that Governor Andrew Cuomo has appointed Attorney General Letitia James to investigate the circumstances of last night’s riot in Brooklyn. I’m sure prosecutions would are warranted in this case. We await the findings of the investigation.

    You have categorised yourself with your awful defence of Charles Herbert. That, my friend, put you in the category of House Negro. In case you do not know the origin of the term. It was a division of labour between the house negro (the servants and gardeners) and the field negro (the slaves cutting canes).
    It was the house negro who betrayed plots to rebel by the salves, and Barbadian history is full of such characters. Where are the Barbadians protesting about events in Minnesota? Why aren’t they outside the US embassy screaming? I am sure if the Yanks were offering scholars or opportunities to pick fruit there would have been longer queues.
    We must remain focussed: the protest is about the savage murder of an innocent black man; police brutality is a bigger threat to black people, especially men, than CoVid; if you are not for us you are against us; no compromise on our protest. And remember, the media are not on our side.
    America must reach peace settlement with black people if not the protest continues. Have you seen the dread-locked black police officers facing off against black people protesting about white racism? That, my friend, is part of the contradiction. That is the phenomenon of the House Negro being played out. White police officer are just as racist against fellow black officers.
    It also happens in Barbados. Think a police officer coming out and shooting his neighbour, then getting bail and still waiting, three years running, to come to trial. Just imagine if that was a white police officer. Is the police officer still being paid? Was it a service gun he shot his neighbour with? When is the case going to come to court?
    @PLT pick your fights. You cannot dilly dally between defending Charles Herbert and then talking about black rights. You are intellectually confused.
    The police chief in Minnesota is black; under a black president the number of police murders of black people did not diminish. Remember, one of the officers backing the police murderer was a Vietnamese, who black men in large numbers fought to save their lives (and freedom) only a few years ago. What a way to say thank you.

    We would never have characterized you as such and know not the non public info you possessed about the Herbert marijuana criminal case but we have known him as no less a racist than Johnny.

    In any event, many poor people are caught up in all kinds of situations. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, for example. However, notwithstanding your information we have advocated that he was and is guilty by association and should have been in jail awaiting trial.

    A trial not cpmpromised by the disapparence of evidence. We will be writing the DEA’s offices to enquire about this matter.

    @ The Lawyers and Politicos on BU, especially, in addition to the regular BU reader.

    In addition to serious mandatory, psychological and personality testing. for the Police….

    Where a Police Officer has an extensive disciplinary record, e.g Fmr P.O Chauvin with his 12 plus complaints; the Laws should be promptly amended to make the Chief of Police/Police Commissioner AND All Police Commissioners and ALL RELEVANT OFFICIALS PERSONALLY LIABLE for any failure to dismiss such renegade, rogue officers, upon learning of his, her or their misdeeds.

    There should be an equivalent three strIkes rule and then you are out.

    Holding Police Chiefs/Commissioners of Police et al PERSONALLY LIABLE should help to reduce serious abuses, assuming a properly functioning judiciary and legal system.

    Several police officers have been injured. I wonder if the pleasure of killing a black man is enough to compensate for the trouble he has caused his co-workers. Or maybe he is watching and smiling believing the race war has begun.

    STILL AS A BLACK MAN HE IS LOCKED IN MENTAL SLAVERY EVEN THOUGH IN SELF DENIAL..

    LIKES TO THROW NAMES AROUND AND LIKE RAW SEWAGE CLINGS TO HIM CONSTANTLY.

    SOME OF THE POSTERS HERE THINK THAT EVERYONE MUST FOLLOW THEIR PATTERN IN NOT DEALING WITH REALITY.

    PLT did a fine job in representing on this thread.

    John talks a lot of jobby and for the most part gets away with it. he needed to be held to account. we can quibble over whether PLT needed to name him but that is relatively a minor issue.

    re your last post- you are spot on here-

    “We must remain focussed: the protest is about the savage murder of an innocent black man; police brutality is a bigger threat to black people, especially men, than CoVid; if you are not for us you are against us; no compromise on our protest. And remember, the media are not on our side.
    America must reach peace settlement with black people if not the protest continues.”

    the remainder i have serious issues with-

    you conflate issues- the protest about the killings of blacks by police officers in the states. to now want to marry it with Bim is quite frankly shiite. the police killing his neighbour in Bim has been investigated.(no need to go into the circumstances as it has been discussed numerous times). he has been charged and been bailed by the bloody courts to answer later for his crime. how does that equate to a white policeman kneeling for 9 minutes on the neck of Floyd who was begging for mercy. at least two policemen in Bim have been arrested and charged for unlawful ammunition possession and few for theft and other offences; rightfully so. cases take a while to get thru the system in Bim. isnt that so?

    the dread-locked policeman is doing his job. should he walk away? i sympathise with the rioters and i feel their actions notwithstanding the looting are necessary under the circumstances. but what should black mayors, police chiefs do? walk off the job?

    like PLT i thought the police would have a hard time proving and connecting the drugs to Herbert. because a man is on a boat that contains drugs does not mean he has constructive or actual possession of said drug. there must be credible evidence. therefore i was not surprised that the DPP did not proffer charges. the CPS would have done the same under the circumstances because the probability of a conviction was v slight.

    the fact that blacks killings did not diminish under a black president and mayor etc is like asking racism to diminish too. it is bloody institutionalized and will take some time or dramatic events to wipe out if that can be accomplished. the police unions are strong in the states and Mayors and DAs depend tacitly on them to get elected and reelected. remember Dinkins in NY? we in the UK marry and have real friends among white brits. did that stop racism or how the brit police dealt with and still in most cases deal with black british?

    your definition of a house negro is quite liberal and stretches the bounds of reality

    Minneapolis Police Were Sued A Decade Ago In Similar Restraint Case

    Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged today with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd. Video of Chauvin, who is white, with his knee on the neck of Floyd, who is black, has caused days of protests and rioting in the Twin Cities and other communities across the country.

    According to charging documents, an autopsy showed no evidence of strangulation or “traumatic asphyxia,” but it says being restrained by police, combined with Floyd’s underlying health problems, likely contributed to his death.

    In recent years, many police departments have trained officers to be alert to the risk of what’s called “positional asphyxia,” the possibility that prolonged restraint of a suspect in a prone position can be deadly. It’s a lesson some in the Minneapolis Police Department already learned once, 10 years ago.

    Minneapolis paid out $3 million dollars to settle a lawsuit over the 2010 death of David Smith, 28. The young black man was mentally ill, his attorneys said, and died after officers Tasered him and then held him face-down on the floor for several minutes. One of them kept a knee on his back even after he stopped responding to questions……..

    Video from a personal camera carried by one of the officers was used as evidence in the lawsuit. The attorney for Smith’s family, Bob Bennett, says the parallels between that video and the images of what happened to George Floyd are “stark.”

    Bennett says when Minneapolis settled the Smith case, it pledged additional training for officers in how to restrain suspects more safely. At the time he assumed the police department would follow through with the training, but now he’s not sure.

    This kind of training has become more common in recent years, especially after the death of Eric Garner, who was tackled around the neck and held down by New York City police in 2014. His repeated cries of “I can’t breathe” became a rallying cry for Black Lives Matter and police reform.

    This week, many police on social media condemned the video of Floyd’s arrest, saying they’d been trained never to knee a suspect in the neck, or maintain pressure on someone’s back longer than necessary.

    Chicago Police Training Bulletin
    on Positional Asphyxia

    Published by The Chicago Reporter on its Web Site
    [http://www.chicagoreporter.com/1999/03-99/0399position.htm]
    in March of 1999, this Training Bulletin was actually released by
    The Chicago Police Department in February, 1995.

    THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT
    Training Bulletin
    Volume XXXVI, Number 2
    6 February 1995
    The sudden death of a prisoner in police custody
    raises serious concerns for everyone involved.
    The potential consequences for the officer
    involved, beyond any personal guilt, include
    lengthy investigations and law suits. However,
    you are less likely to face these burdens if you
    are aware of factors relating to positional asphyxia.

    While in-custody deaths are rare, research has
    shown that sudden deaths often share a common
    sequence of events. First, a drug or alcohol
    intoxication subject behaves in a bizarre or
    frenzied manner. The subject engages the police
    officers in a violent struggle requiring the officers
    to employ some type of restraint technique. During
    or immediately after the struggle, the subject
    becomes unresponsive and dies.

    Recent research from across the country has identified “positional asphyxia” as the underlying cause of death in several cases. Positional asphyxia is a death that occurs when a subject’s body position interferes with breathing. This training bulletin alerts Department members of potentially dangerous restraint positions that must be avoided during custodial arrest and transportation.

    Positional Asphyxia Can Occur:

    When the subject’s chest is restricted from expanding properly.When the position of the subject’s head obstructs the airway.

    In all cases of positional asphyxia, the subject is unable to correct the lethal position, whether he is placed or inadvertently places himself that way.

    Preventing Lethal Positions:

    Never restrain the subject’s hands and legs together. Restraining devices should only be applied to hands and feet separately, if warranted. The application of hog-tied restraints adversely affects proper breathing by preventing a change in position.

    Do not leave a subject in control restraints lying on his back or stomach. Also do not position the subject leaning forward in a sitting position with hands and legs restrained together. These positions can also contribute to obstruction of the airway, thereby resulting in positional asphyxia.

    Do not put weight on an arrestee’s back, such as with your knee, for a prolonged period. This practice adds stress to the respiratory muscles and inhibits movement of the diaphragm and rib cage.

    Furthermore, do not keep the arrestee waiting for transportation in a restrained position without being properly monitored. Monitor the prisoner by watching the three ABCs: Airway, Breathing and Circulation.

    Airway- The path is free of obstruction and allows the flow of air to the lungs.Breathing- Air flows to and from the lungs.Circulation- A heartbeat and pulse are present.

    Note: The subject’s ability to speak without difficulty
    indicates that the airway is open, and breathing and circulation are present.

    [CHAS’ NOTE: This is SOOOOO WRONG!!!! This false assumption is the cornerstone of many Restraint Asphyxia deaths while in the “custody” of medically-trained personnel.(And, it is a fallacy that still continues to be taught in medical programs!) The only thing that “noise production” (“speech”) indicates is that the subject is able to move a snippet of air past his vocal cords. It indicates an “open airway.” But, it does NOT indicate that “breathing” is adequate, or that it will continue!]

    Contributing Factors:

    Many factors contribute to a victim’s susceptibility to positional asphyxia. There is an increased risk for positional asphyxia if one or more of the following indicators are present.

    Alcohol IntoxicationDrugs (especially cocaine, other controlled substances)Physical Aliments (obesity, especially “big bellies,” chest deformity, etc.)Delirium, “Bizarre or Frenzied Behavior”
    (mental disease including psychosis and schizophrenia and/or drug intoxication)Respiratory Diseases (asthma, emphysema, etc.)

    Conclusion:

    When feasible, officers should handcuff an arrestee with both hands behind his back and palms positioned outward. Because of the possibility of positional asphyxia, hog-tying of a subject must always be avoided. If temporary prone positioning is required for control, the subject must be closely and constantly monitored. Officers should be aware of any obvious physical disabilities, mental state, or the possibility the subject is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.

    Although most officers have no reason to expect death to result from restraining a subject, the possibility exist. By exercising caution and common sense, the potential for in-custody deaths from positional asphyxia will be lessened.

    You are taking your delusional bullshit to far. Name the persons who died in police custody and the prison(s) in Barbados in the last two decades. I am willing to bet you can’t name half dozen during that time period. People die in police custody or the prison system so often in the USA it is rarely reported nationally. During stop and frisk more people were harassed, thrown up against walls and arrested on any day in New York than were arrested in Barbados in a calendar year. It will not be long before your tell us more innocent people were convicted for murder in Barbados than in the USA.

This makes your question about the Barbados House of Assembly, and Barbados political culture in general, entirely pertinent.”

    that would be both DBLP house negro governments over the last 40 plus years when they figured it out it was a nice little gig to be able to call themselves millionares OFF THE BACKS OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE, right along with their greasy little yardfowls, hangerson, family and friends….the sell out negros who needs to be made EXTINCT.

    “It is time to reconstitute the Black Panther organization.”

    they never went anywhere, it is time for Black Bajans and Caribbean people to grow some balls so these filthy house negro sell outs in the parliament, the local minority thieves and the repulsive racists they invite into the islands as pretend investors and tourists…DONT CONTINUE THEIR PLANS OF ROBBING THE BLACK MAJORITY GENERATIONALLY and PUSHING THEM OUT WHEN THEY HAVE BECOME WEALTHY ENOUGH TO NOT NEED THEM ANYMORE…

    and if ya house negros continue to rob their own people by the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to continue to enrich themselves and to please and appease minority thieves …they will have to be looked at very closely…it is time it stops, just like the racism and apartheid they are PAID to continue to look the other way while the same thieving minoritites practiced it all it’s nastiness against the black majority for DECADES and still do…

    .the CLEANSING and PURGING of this evil CURSE belonging to the COLONIAL CONSTRUCT is not only CONFINED to US….and as Barbados is the blighted slave colony CLEARING HOUSE where it was CREATED, THE PURGING has to include the Caribbean and every corner of the earth and the African CONTINENT….else, what’s the point…it has to be a COLLECTIVE effort…the weaker willed, mentally incompetent negros who love a system created and socially engineered just for them will be left behind….but that will be their choice.

    Historically, the term House Negro came from exactly that: those servants working in the plantation owner’s home, compared with those working in the field. It is not my definition. The term Uncle Tom came from the character in a book of that name. Read it, if you have not.
    AWs to dread locked police, that is nothing new. After the 1995 Broadwater Farm uprisings (riots), the estate was flooded with lots of dread-locked characters, all talking London-Jamaican. It was then that a police contact of mine told me they were coppers working undercover.
    On another occasion a Pakistani guy came to the paper with a story about being pressured by a gang trading bogus UK passports. The chief reporter and I were put on the job, but first we told a Scotland Yard squad what we were doing. We had a briefing meeting on how to trap these ‘guys’. The person doing the brief was a tall muscular black guy that none of the other detectives had ever seen or heard of before. He came in, briefed us, and walked away.
    Unknow to us the Pakistani guy was working for another Scotland Yard squad and telling them we had been pressuring him to get the story. The whole exercise failed and ended up with the two squads facing off each other. We later discovered he was a Bhutto activist, lived in Wembley, North West London. I was furious and wanted to leak the guy’s details to the Pakistani community, but was persuaded not to.
    The point I am making is that there are all kinds of black people working in all kinds of jobs in the UK. If that is so in the UK then it will be more than that in the US. I have a friend whose daughter was approached at Cambridge to join MI6. She said no. But how many jumped at the opportunity? Universities are recruiting grounds for the security services.
    So, dreadlocks do not make an impression on me.

    This is what happens when racism has become so INSTITUTIONALIZED and WEAPONIZED against Black people, when it finally gets exposed for what it is, there can be no good reason or good answers why.

    Well David I can tell you why, rather than guilty till proven innocent the very thing I can glean from why all this rioting is going on , they are innocent till proven guilty. So pick one way and lets stick with it rather than confusing everyone

    It does shock when the same COLONIAL SAVAGES who created the education system to miseducate you post slavery are the same ones pretending to be your savior, many of us understand fully why post emancipation…their victims, our ancestors, had to be MUZZLED generationally, so that we would never know, never find out…HOW EVIL THEY STILL ARE.

    … so just imagine what they have planned for your black asses next, which will make Windrush seem like nothing in comparison…. now that everyone is more or less becoming ENLIGHTENED to their tricks, lies and downright criminal behaviors wrapped up in the laws they created..

    You are aware the Commissioner of the Minneapolis police force sued the department a few years ago for disciplining Black policemen more than his White counterparts? The matter was settled out of court for $800,000.00.

    Me smoking lol minnosota rep claims all the looting is being done by white nationalists. Right out of a cowboy movie when they want to blame the Indians dress up like them. I guess its obvious to the rep the nationalists were wearing blackface.

    Did you read with comprehension? The suit was about Black officers being more harshly disciplined compared to White officers.

    The prototype for all House Negroes was an enslaved domestic servant by the name of Anna who in 1675 betrayed an incipient insurrection of African people in Barbados that had been carefully planned over a three year period. Tragic.

    This is a disabled Black man, i would not even be surprised if he is a veteran who fought for US and lost his quality of life in the process…but look how the KKK thugs in the police force is treating him..that is the result of weaponized, institutionalized racism against the African descended..
