Fwd: [B-C-C] Police Brutality Is Not A Crime In All Jurisdictions - Demand A Change In Policy
We are Demanding A Change In Policy
Police brutality is not ILLEGAL in most jurisdictions. In other words, police brutality is not a crime in most places around the U.S. Officers are increasingly using excessive force for misdemeanors and simple traffic stops. Others are using deadly force for no justified reasons at all.
The choke hold is legal in most jurisdictions. Policies must be changed to include making the choke hold ILLEGAL. Policies must be restructured to included banning excessive force for misdemeanors and disallowing deadly force for misdemeanors and routine stops.
If police use deadly force and/or excessive force the initial result should be termination from the police department, charges, arrests and prosecution.
Sign This Petition To Make Police Brutality A Crime In All Jurisdictions

BLACK GIRLS GONE BLOND: STORIES FROM A NEWLY DISCOVERED SISTERHOOD
Joani Ward, author of Black Girls Gone Blonde
Washington, DC (BlackNews.com) -- Joani Ward, author of You Don't Have To Be Broke: So Wake Up, Shake It Up, and Make A Change, shifts from writing about numbers and entrepreneurship to writing about real life experiences in Black Girls Gone Blonde: Stories From A Newly Discovered Sisterhood, to be launched on October 15, 2014.
The question: Is it true that blondes have more fun? African American women are coming out of the woodwork with blonde hair. They are beautiful, bold, blonde, and would probably answer yes to this question. Black Girls Gone Blonde captures real life experiences of 8 women who live in the DC metropolitan area. The stories captured include challenges and obstacles that have been overcome. Stories such as the challenges of living in Potomac Gardens (the projects) and hating it, a career that almost ended due to a terrible accident, parental abuse, drug addiction, and molestation.
Every story has a positive outcome. Black Girls Gone Blonde: Stories From A Newly Discovered Sisterhood shows that anything is possible, there is light at the end of the tunnel, itÂ’s never too late to pursue your dreams, and that dreams do come true. Readers might see themselves in the women interviewed for the book, but they will also see how exactly each of them were able to overcome the challenges in their lives.
For more details about the book, visit www.blackgirlsgoneblonde.com or www.joaniwardbooks.com
Joani Ward is also the author of three other books, Business Quotations Every Entrepreneur Should Know: 52 Weeks of Motivation and Inspiration, Create Your WordPress Website in 27 Minutes: Believe Me It's Possible, and How To Write and Self Publish Your Own Book: 7 Steps To A Finished Product in 30 Days.
