ANG Editors and Activists Condemn the US Justice System As An Agent Of Anti-African Genocide Following the Exoneration of PO Darren Wilson for the Execution of Michael Brown
Aboriginal News Group Statement On the ‘Failure’ Of the United States System of Justice to Hold Police Officer Darren Wilson Responsible For the Public Execution of Michael Brown
11.26.2014
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ANG/The Fourth World: 11.26.2014 — The editors and activists of the Aboriginal News Group – in the name of universal justice – denounce the St. Louis County grand jury’s final decision to not indict a United States civilian police officer (one Darren Wilson) for the unnecessary killing of an unarmed American-African youth named Michael Brown on Aug. 9th of this year as an empirical example of institutional White Privilege and public support for wanton acts of violence against African people(s) within the United States of America (and the Diaspora).
According to the evidence presented to the Ferguson grand jury, an unapologetic PO Wilson testified that he used his service weapon more than several times against the youth, primarily, due to his own paranoia(s). Describing Mr. Brown as ‘It’ and as a ‘Demon’, PO Wilson told the people on the grand jury that he felt – ‘like a five-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan‘ (PO Wilson is 6 feet, 4 inches tall at 210 pounds/15 stone)– and that he feared for his life, thereby justifying his use of lethal force. The citizens who made up the grand jury came to the (bizarre) conclusion that PO Wilson’s blatantly racialist-laden testimony, (by a known, out-of-bounds officer already under investigation for aggressive behaviour during an drug arrest) provided no clear grounds for prosecution and simply dismissed the case.
In light of the hard (known) facts, this decision makes absolutely no sense.
However, as a collective of Indigenist-minded Indigenous People(s) with a sense of history and as private individuals of intelligence and social consciousness, we did not anticipate anything other than what happened. We fully predicted that the traditional (unofficial) Europocentrist system of racial injustice would act to defend one of its own, as did many others within the Fourth World and other people watching internationally.
In short, intelligent and informed people, not just activists, were not in any way shocked by the grand jury’s decision, as it had manifested within a country where Black People are killed by law enforcement and/or racist vigilantes at a rate of every 28 hours on average; (Source: ‘Operation Ghetto Storm: 2012 Annual Report on the Extrajudicial Killing of 313 Black People‘).
On the specific subject of PO Darren Wilson’s ‘old-school’ public execution of Michael Brown, we can (and should) logically look back at 14 other cases of people killed by St. Louis County ‘peace’ officers under questionable circumstances since 2004 wherein none of the PO’s involved were ever charged with any wrongdoing.[1] This same pattern of demonstrable official impunity was again seen with the Brown case after a flurry of false and misleading information was force-fed to the mainstream news media without challenge. Other obvious instances of official obstruction by Ferguson, MO police officials and other public representatives went unacknowledged.[2]
Even worse, the fact remains that the oldest surviving terrorist organisation in the USA, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK)* had injected themselves into this issue from the very beginning without any official or public opposition. And further, (according to the activist hacker group, Anonymous) the organisation may enjoy covert connections to the Ferguson, MO PD.[3] Anonymous activists also say that they possess credible data positively demonstrating that the original poster threatening violence against protesters in Ferguson was in fact, produced by an active member of the Ferguson, MO police force.[4]
This incredibly important data was visibly ignored by the Department of Justice (DOJ); the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI); President Barack Obama and the corporate who instead fretted openly about a possible violent, coast-to-coast insurgency supposedly led by ‘Black Power’ extremists embedded’ amongst the non-violent Ferguson protesters.[5]
There was no actual proof of this, but the entire corporate media structure did much to promote this fallacy as they laboured to overlook the fact that the Missouri-area Klan released posters promising to use “lethal force” against Black protesters and later, began threatening to indiscriminately shoot anyone wearing a Guy Fawkes mask in Ferguson; (Source: ‘We will hunt you down’: KKK threatens to shoot Anonymous ‘n***** lovers’, by Russia Today: http://ow.ly/ETxy5 )[6]
The important people, it seems, also choose to ignore the fact that local Klan leader, Frank Ancona, the imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (TAKKKK) is suspected – along with PO Darren Wilson – to be directly connected to the covert police group known as the ‘Ghoul Squad‘ by Anonymous. When the hacker-collective began the #OpKKK and #HoodsOff campaigns and started disclosing the hidden identities of local Klan members, (some of them police officers) and seized the KKK’s web services, conservative Americans cried foul. But not against the Klan.
Even after Anonymous pointed out the technical fact that Mr. Ancona had been known to ‘check-in‘ on Facebook at the Ferguson Police Department (perhaps – some are suggesting – to use their computers) as evidence of his ties (if not a comfortable personal relationship) to Ferguson, MO law enforcement.[7]
The question of institutional integrity and professional objectivity is what is at issue here. Only no one within the corridors of power (or public influence) over White American opinion is willing to admit that the extrajudicial killing of Africans and other minorities of Colour in the Anglophone World presents a major human rights problem; (See: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, (UDHR) adopted, UN General Assembly 10 Dec. 1948).[8]
Under international law, such statistical casualties are regarded as deliberate ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ (See: Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court) under sociopolitical conditions that distinctly meet the established criteria recognised by the United Nations (UN) as opportunistic acts and programmes of wilful genocide; (See: Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Adopted by Resolution 260 (III) A of the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948 – http://ow.ly/ESWPE).
The ANG recognises the reality of the situation as thus: A young African male was shot to death in broad daylight because a White man said that he felt afraid in a country where police brutality is an an all time high and the facts about this are well-known to the general public.[9,10] We have also witnessed an autonomous faction of the traditional US Klan issue an open physical threat against the public peace in Ferguson, yet, the larger mainstream society can only see fit to speak against the (justified) anger of the Black community and not against the threat of domestic White racist terrorism.
The African community in the US is not wrong to view the execution of Michael Brown as the latest historical offence against their basic human rights and as a wake-up call to African People(s) everywhere.
The situation in African North American communities is unacceptable!
End the paradigm of racist police aggression against People-of-Colour and Indigenous Americans by recognising the Human Rights of all People(s)!
White People(s) of Consciousness Must Stand Up to Stop the Violence!
