“Addressing Current & Historical Realties Affecting Our Community”

“Today, we are able to breathe again.

Justice for George means freedom for all.”- Philonise Floyd

By: Roy Douglas Malonson

JUSTICE FOR GEORGE: HIS LIFE DID MATTER! On May 25, 2020, Derek Chauvin decided that a “Black Life Didn’t Matter,” but on April 20, 2021, a jury of “his peers” decided that it did.

The cold-blooded killer was found guilty in the death of George Perry Floyd Jr., and cheers erupted around the nation. A Black man who grew up in Houston, Texas helped change the world, and with his last breath, he may have just possibly saved the lives of so many others.

Last year, Floyd allegedly passed a counterfeit $20 bill to a clerk at a Minneapolis convenience store. The clerk called police and Chauvin was one of four police officers who arrived at the scene.

After a bit of resistance, Floyd was placed on the ground, with Chauvin placing his knee on Floyd’s neck and the other officers leaning on his back.

For 9 minutes and 29 seconds, the officers remained there, as Floyd first begged for air and, more so, begged for mercy as a crowd of bystanders gathered, horrified and helpless.

The crowd begged the officers to get off Floyd, who began calling out for his deceased mother to help him. Chauvin looked directly at the onlookers and into their recording cellphones, refusing to remove his knee off Floyd’s neck until the Black man stopped breathing.

Nothing seemed to make him move, and the devilish eyes of Chauvin glaring into the cameras, unflinching as Floyd experienced his final moments on Earth, sent chills down the spines of anyone with a heart.

Houston became front and center in the controversy, as Floyd grew

PROTECTION OR EXCESSIVE FORCE?

By: N.L. Preston

The deadly police shooting this week of a 16-year-old Black girl who was armed with a knife during a fight is revisiting the question of law enforcement policies and excessive use of force.

On Tuesday, a Columbus, Ohio police officer arrived to the scene of a fight where he saw what appeared to be a teen attempting to cut two females with a knife, according to body camera footage officials released to the media.

Columbus Interim Police Chief Michael Woods said police received a call at 4:32 p.m. from someone indicating “females were there trying to stab them and put Excessive Force cont’d their hands on them.”

White Robes: Blue Uniforms “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

(James 3: 16-18). In the past, it was White males in white robes killing and terrorizing Blacks.

In the 21st Century, it is White males in blue uniforms, with guns, badges and the law on their side terrorizing and killing and Blacks.

Thus, the Law Enforcement Constabulary was established to checkmate Blacks as well as other minorities. Even though, in American society crime is an intra-racial phenomenon: Whites rob, kill and steal from other Whites. Blacks and other minority groups rob, steal, and kill from each other, as well. Hence, crime in America is

intra-racial, and not interracial. Whites should fear other Whites, not minorities. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Constabulary is an after the fact investigatory agency, not a preventive agency.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Of course, the Bible spiritually warns us concerning wolves who masquerade in sheep’s clothing. This is why Jesus talked about children of God learning to live in the midst of evil men (wolves), and therefore, they must learn how to be wise like a serpent, but harmless as a dove.

Twenty-first century American society is defined and characterized by gun violence.

The spiritual question is why? The answer lies in the fact that America has become a country without a sense of the SACRED, oriented towards a gun-culture society; whereby the gun is god: guns, guns and more guns. As a matter of fact, vanity is running rampart. American society has more guns than citizens. And, when America references god, she is not talking about the Universal God who created the heavens and earth, but referencing the god that is inscribed on the U. S. currency system, which in turn, is the

god that most Whites worship: guns, oil and drugs because this is the god that generates money (wealth).

If we desire a change in our conscience mindset, there must be a sense of: Shame!

Shame, Shame! Sadly, most White Americans do not want Lady Justice to be blind nor have the scales of justice balanced. Hence, too many Whites desire “something for nothing” (wealth, power and justice) only for Anglo Saxons. Even in White Christian Right Evangelical churches an ungodly doctrine concerning universal humanity/brotherhood is taught, and sadly, in the sanctity of the United States House of Representatives some GOP members desire to have an AngloSaxon caucus with the primary objective of preserving/protecting White Privilege. Moreover, they are using the Trump Loyalists, Oath Keepers, Qanon, and other White Supremacist groups to fuel and promote their racist agenda. Where do we go from here?

God-fearing America, let’s pray that it is not to hell in a handbasket. God gave Noah the rainbow sign: “no more water, but the fire next time.” America, cease playing with FIRE! -AANI

A Moment to Think John Warren

The Verdict, The Nation, and Us The conviction of Derek Chauvin on all three counts in the death of George Floyd represents a much needed breeze of change, but it is neither the storm or whirlwind needed to correct the malignant, cancerous attitude of law enforcement against not only Black men and women and people of color, but a society which says it’s alright to be judge, jury and executioner of those having contact with police in particular. The prosecution and its witnesses in the trial made it clear that the issue is not police training, nor is it about anything other than treating people with the respect and dignity the police would expect if they were in the shoes of those who have become their victims. We know that crime does exist, that there are people who must be apprehended and not all can be done without use of force; but those se-

lected to wear a badge and gun must know the difference and must no longer be able to hide behind such legal myths as “qualified immunity” which has excused so much of what so many police officers should be held accountable for. The verdict is a good start, but let’s not think it solves our problems.

In the midst of celebrating, let us keep our eyes on the national war before us which finds Republican legislators at the Congressional and State legislative levels mounting a relentless battle for “voter suppression.” They are attempting to do to people of color what Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd. Their knee is being placed on our neck of democracy and we cannot breathe without fighting back. Let’s identify not only those Republican legislators in each state pushing such legislation, but mount people to run against them. At the same time, let us withhold our dollars from those corporations who refuse to stand up and speak out with their dollars against those very elected officials they have funded for so long.

There are still more trials to come. Let’s stay vigilant, for the struggle continues. -AANI

GREATER HOUSTON EDITION Excessive Force Cont’d The first officer to arrive at the scene approached the group in the driveway of a home, and witnessed one girl quickly moving toward another girl with what appeared to be a knife, while the unarmed girl fell to the ground.

You could hear the officer yelling on the video, “Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Get down!” before the armed girl appears to lunge at a second girl with the knife.

The officer yells “Get Down! Get down! Get down! Get down!” before firing four shots in the direction of the armed teenager.

People could be heard shouting, “She’s just a kid!” and “Are you stupid?”

One officer began to attend to the shooting victim, who has been identified as Ma’Khia Bryant by her mother. Ma’Khia was staying at a foster home and had just shared exciting news of the progress she was making in her life a few days prior.

“We hugged each other. She said ‘Mommy, I made honor roll.’ She said ‘Mommy, I’m looking forward to coming home,’” her mother, Paula Bryant, told reporters. “She was a very loving, peaceful little girl. Ma’Khia has a motherly nature about her. She promoted peace.

And that’s something that I want to always be remembered.”

Ma’Khia is the one who initially ca lled police for help.

“My daughter dispatched Columbus police for protection, not to be a homicide today,” her mother said.

Many are not disputing that Ma’Khia appeared to be more of the aggressor because she had the knife, but they are wondering if there could have been a safer way to de-escalate the situation.

“I can certainly see why the police officer chose to stop her. Now, whether or not less lethal force could have been used, whether or not a Taser could have been chosen instead of a gun -- I don’t know,” Ira

April 26, 2021 Graham, a neighbor, said. “But I do know that with Ma’Khia having that lethal weapon in her hand, she did need to be stopped.”

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther addressed the incident at a news conference.

“We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,” the mayor explained.

Comedian Kathy Griffin expressed outrage on Twitter over the teen’s shooting.

“How in the hell does this police officer think it’s a good idea to fire shots blindly into a group of teenagers having a fight? Yes one of them has a knife,” Griffin said. “Oh, that never happened in your school or neighborhood? She didn’t deserve to die. 16 years old.”

Ma’Khia died on the same day that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the murder of George Floyd.

“As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,” Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump tweeted.

The shooting of the teen girl comes at a time when police use of force around the nation is under new scrutiny.

Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin spoke of Ma’Khia’s death during a committee meeting to vet nominees for a new civilian review board that will oversee the city’s police force.

Hardin said Ma’Khia’s death “put in stark view” the need for police oversight and accountability.

A review is definitely needed as studies show that Black and Brown teens are killed by police at a higher rate than Whites.

A study published in the journal Pediatrics shows that Black children were six times more likely to be shot to death by the police than their White peers over a 16-year period, and Hispanic children were three times more likely to be shot to death than White children.

According to the study, 140 adolescents died from police inter-

AFRAMNEWS.COM 3

vention from 2003 to 2018, and of those cases, 131 involved firearms.

The vast majority of the victims -roughly 93% -- were male, with an average age of 16 years.

Hundreds protested at the shooting site and outside Columbus police headquarters on the night deadly shooting. Chief Woods said the investigation still needs to be completed to determine if the actions of the officers were justified.

The situation with Ma’Khia is one that did not have to happen whatsoever. Violence is not, nor ever has been, the answer. It’s time that we come together, teach our youth a better way of dealing with problems, and educate police in the community on how to react differently when faced with certain

situations.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved as we all strive for better days. - AANI

Floyd attended Jack Yates High School, playing football and basketball throughout high school and college. He was a hip-hop artist and served as a mentor in his religious community. Between 1997 and 2005, he had a few runins with the law, and in 2014, he moved to the Minneapolis area, residing in the nearby suburb of St. Louis Park, and worked as a truck driver and bouncer. In 2020, he lost his job as a truck driver, and then his security job during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When he woke up to start his day that May 25th, he certainly had no idea he would become a martyr whose life and death would spark a movement – on a path to win.

After the videos of Floyd’s death went viral, it became undeniable the brutality and racism Blacks suffered at the hands of law enforcement. Protests against police brutality, especially towards Black people, quickly spread across the United States and around the world. Chauvin, who obviously felt he was untouchable, was arrested and charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The 45-year-old rogue cop pleaded not guilty, and his trial began on March 8. His defense said his actions were justified, but the jury disagreed.

Six white, four Black and two multiracial jurors reached a unanimous verdict of guilty on all three charges; a historic verdict because police usually receive little punishment when it comes to killing Blacks. Chauvin sat silent, only blinking in disbelief, and was escorted out in handcuffs. We must now await his sentencing hearing.

The City of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Floyd’s family for $27 million, and the trial of the other three officers involved in Floyd’s death is scheduled for August.

But while we shed tears of joy

April 26, 2021 and relief about Chauvin’s conviction, we must ask ourselves, is this enough? Will this send a clear message to other White racist cops? Will they understand that they can’t shoot us with no regard merely because they are “afraid” or “intimidated” of nothing more than our sheer presence?

Blacks have been being lynched

by Whites ever since we were kidnapped and brought to this country. First, they steal us, then they fear us, then they kill us -- weak men hiding behind white cloaks and blue badges. The media has been one of the only methods we’ve used to prove what we’ve been going through but before Floyd’s death, even with the proof, our killers have primarily been let free.

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was tortured and murdered in Mississippi.

His mother, Mamie TillMobley, demanded his body be returned to Chicago and that he lie in an open casket for the world to see what happened. Photos of the mutilated teen galvanized outrage and served as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement.

Floyd’s brother, Philonise, has bonded with Emmett’s family, showing support of one another during these difficult times.

“To me, he was the first George Floyd,” Philonise Floyd said.

But in this AmeriKKKa we’ve been forced to live in, who will be the last?

In honor of Emmett and George, we list the names of so many others who died senselessly at the hands of those who would rather kill us, than get to know and understand

us. We will continue to shout from every spot on the globe that Black Lives Matter!

The universe shrank when you went away.

Every time I thought your name, stars fell upon me.

Moving forward together

in Houston

Over the past year, we’ve all been challenged in one way or another by this health crisis — physically, emotionally, financially. And while questions remain about what lies ahead, we know one thing for certain: The only way to move forward is together. To that end, Bank of America remains fully committed to supporting the health and economic recovery of our clients, communities and teammates.

We know that small businesses, so critical to our local economy, have been greatly impacted. Through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), to date we’ve delivered 478,731* PPP loans — totaling nearly $34.5 billion* in funding — to help our clients continue to operate and pay their employees.

Importantly, more than 99% of those loans went to companies with fewer than 100 employees.

Partnering with local nonprofits, we’ve distributed more than 27 million masks for vulnerable populations as part of our ongoing efforts to address healthrelated disparities accelerated by the coronavirus.

We’ve offered new and expanded benefits to help our employees balance family and work, including over 3.7 million days of back-up child and adult care. That’s an investment of more than $370 million in child and adult care reimbursement.

I’m so proud of the way our community has come together to help those who need it most. And I’m certain that Houston has the power to be stronger than ever as a result.

Hong Ogle President, Bank of America Houston

Helping Houston move forward: • Delivered PPP funding to over 11,911 of our small business clients for more than $771 million in relief

• Distributed 822,000 masks through our local partners including: – Houston Community ToolBank – Legacy Community Health Centers • Expanded benefits for our employees to include additional child and adult care services plus virtual medical and behavioral health consultations at no cost
