COMMUNITY AND POLICE COHESION AS ILLUSION, LIE, BETRAYAL


 

The deaths of black men in America by law enforcement officials has historically been problematic and frightening. High profile deaths of black men like Michael Brown and Eric Garner by police officers caused activists to engage in protests nationwide. In Hartford certain activists tried to highlight the tension between police and community after the tasering of 18 year old Luis Anglero by Hartford Police [ August 2014 ] over a minor incident. Over 100 people went inside the Hartford Police Department [ Sept. 2014 ] and read a manifesto statement. However three days later black leaders decided to stand on the outside steps of City Hall and attempt to portray that community people were really on the side of police while the Hartford Police Chief stood nearby in silence. On February 23, 2015 at least 70 people held a die-in at City Hall in solidarity with people claiming #blacklivesmatter is valid as a movement. Within several days, again  certain moderate forces within the black community were engaged in some scenario where conservative thinking community members interacted with police. This included role acting by community members pretending to be police officers in possible tense scenarios.

There is war being waged in Hartford’s black community by black moderate leaders and militant activists about how to engage police. However this mantra of community police cohesion is nothing but illusion, foisted on the rabble in order to remove any hope of galvanizing real dissent against HPD. Those ruling forces in the City of Hartford handpicked willing leadership for promotion of the greatest illusion since Houdini escaped handcuffed / upside down while immersed in some large glass enclosed water tank. The ruling elite desperately want people to believe there are themes of commonality between Hartford residents and police. Let me be clear. HPD along with city leaders are using certain Negro and white activists  [ the latter flown in from out of town for this specific purpose ]  to make it seem as if dialogue is happening to iron out any difference existing with angry residents over insensitive cops who oppress the common people.

 

While all of this is going on black leaders are being manipulated like puppets on television simulating how it feels to react like police in certain scenarios. When asked about the television appearance the black puppet remarked, “ I didn’t know what was really going on. I had no idea my involvement would be portrayed in this manner.” So let me get this right. The highly touted black leader got lured into a situation, then depicted unfairly by television cameras for the world to see. Is that your story Negro leader? Well. How can you be duped into doing the bidding of old Massa so easily and without knowledge of what is going on around you ? Hey man, please call this what it is, a plain betrayal by black leaders and collusion by imported white activists to guide the rage of people about Michael Brown / Eric Garner into more sedate forms of interaction i.e. “talk issues to death."

 

At every turn there are attempts to undermine or nullify actions by the true vanguard to hold HPD accountable for their actions of oppression against black and brown people  in Hartford. And the charge up this new public relations San Juan Hill is led by those same black leaders who for years have been concerned with getting their pictures in the paper, or like Simon the Magician of biblical times – “ claiming to be great” due to the appearance of performing illusions before the people.
