A VIEW FROM A PEW

The New Normal: You Don’t Need a Church Building to “Go to Church” Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven that a building is not essential, faith is.

Why? Because for good or for bad “I am the church, you are the church, we are the church together.”

I don’t know about you, but Sundays feel strange. In fact, because of the pandemic there have been days when I didn’t even realize it was Sunday. Normally for many Sundays are a time for getting the family together and dressed to go into the house of the Lord for Sunday school and to receive the word of God. That has changed dare I say forever.

Let’s be honest church participation has been declining for decades I could be wrong but people who stop attending church rarely develop or maintain spiritual practices at home. When there’s no ... community to give you a feeling of obligation and of belonging, it’s very tempting to simply not do anything.

It was easier to close churches than it’s going to be to reopen them. There’s a high number of people planning to avoid all crowds for the foreseeable future and those who attended church before COVID-19 hit are unlikely to return to church right now even if public health officials deem it safe.

Today pastors can no longer do what they’ve always done. They have to invent new ways to do what they have been called to do. Their calling hasn’t changed, but their methods of ministry have to. Many are realizing they can’t continue to focus

on how to do what they’ve always done but do it online.

And to that point they have to understand the needs of today and realize that we are not going to sit in front of our computers for a twohour church service.

Here is a word of advice for my religious leaders; folks aren’t going to sit around for the sizzle you are going to have to get straight to the “steak”. We don’t have the patience for A & B selections, 15-minute prayers and two-hour sermons. I’m thinking we are going to be good for about 20-30 minutes tops. That gives you a welcome, an opening song, scripture reading, 10-15minute message, financial appeal and an instrumental closing. The fact of the matter is it don’t Jesus any longer than that to “come by here” as the hymn goes.

I promise if you take my advice your church will not only survive but will be even stronger than before. Even to the point where you won’t have to have a building at all. Push come to shove you if needs be you do like they did back in the day and baptize folks in the Chattahoochee River. I would suggest , however that everyone where life vests and be tethered to a pole along the riverbank.

In the meantime, you can take comfort in knowing that I will be at home taking full advantage of your “come as you are” policy.

I will close now with an Amen, Amen and Amen.

Buoyoed By Black Women Organizations Councilor Barnes Introduces Controversial Citizen’s Review Board Ordinance With Subpoena Power We have come tonight looking for this attitude and this approach from this body; Not to fight, but figure out how to answer the call from the people who are being hurt most by a lack of police reform across this country.

Let me be clear, our public safety departments and personnel are good.

We want policies that will move us from good to great so that we do not find our city going through what we see across this country.

By Wane A. Hailes As the result of recent incidents of police brutality, Councilor Jerry “Pops” Barnes proposed an ordinance that would give the Public Safety Advisory Commission subpoena and review powers of certain investigations of the Columbus Police Department during the city council meeting Tuesday July 28, 2020. Mayor Pro-Tem Gary Allen proposed ordinance is a bit broader and would give the commission review powers of any closed use of force investigations, but not subpoena powers.

The Public Safety Advisory Commission is made up of 10 members appointed by Columbus City Council and one appointed by the mayor. Their mission is to recommend public safety and policies to public safety officials for a safe community.

Speaking in opposition to giving the committee subpoena powers, Lt. Lance Deaton with the Columbus Police Department said; “I think people don’t understand what the processes are when it comes to dealing with uses of force within our police department, what our current policies and procedures are,” Deaton said. “They’re not informed enough and it shows because the thing they’re asking for, if you read the resolutions, if you read the ordinances that they’re trying to push through, the majority of that stuff we already do.”

State Representative Carolyn Hugley spoke in support of Barnes’ ordinance

on behalf of the Sisters United for Reform. Here is her statementin its entirety.

Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, City Manager and City Attorney, Thank you for the opportunity to address the matter on the table tonight regarding Positive Police Reform, to include Subpoena Powers for the Public Safety Advisory Committee.

I want to thank my city council member, Councilor Pops Barnes, for his representation, his leadership, and his courage to bring this matter before the city council and the community for open discussion.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Once said, “the measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of conflict and controversy”.

As we celebrate the life of U.S. Congressman John Lewis, he always talked about getting into ‘Good Trouble’.

Councilor Barnes, thank you for your leadership, for standing up in times of conflict and controversy and for your willingness to get into “Good Trouble”.

I want you to know tonight that the people in black and some not wearing black are here because we support you on this ordinance and resolution and we are here to stand with you on this matter.

We support the ordinance with subpoena power, and we support what is included in the resolution.

The ordinance may not be perfect, but it is a good start.

Mr. Mayor and Council, I want to make a few points and I will take my seat.

I know and understand making legislation, how to introduce it, how to compromise, and how to work to bring people together in that compromise without tearing us apart.

This is not a political matter; it is a policy matter!

Now is the time for leadership.

I hope we can count on you to do what needs to be done to approve positive police reforms and subpoena power.

As I look around this room tonight, I see people on both sides of the issue of subpoena power.

I want to leave the Mayor with a what if: What if you were to appoint a high level Commission of a diverse group of citizens to take a look at how to include and where to fit in subpoena power for the public Safety Advisory Commission with the expectation that there will be police reform with subpoena power.

It should not be a matter or concern for people of color, only!

They will determine power will kick in. figure out how to get than how not to get

When minor issues or concerns exist in legislation, we can have a small study committee to work out differences without changing the intent of the legislation.

We want all people of this city to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of the color of the skin.

Be clear, we want subpoena power.

And we want subpoena power without interfering with an ongoing investigation.

Mr. Mayor, I heard you say when you took office, you wanted city staff to figure out how to make things happen -vs- how not to make it happen when it comes to requests from citizens. Just because we have always done it that way does not mean we have to keep doing it that way. I want you to know, I agree!

when subpoena The goal is to this done rather it done.

We want officer who break ranks and display bad actions and bad police practices to be held accountable.

We want every citizen to be able to live his/her best life.

Mr. Mayor and Council, thank you for this time.

Councilor Barnes we salute you and we thank you for your leadership and your courage in creating this “Good Trouble”.

Why The Dreadful Fear Of Subpoena Power For A Citizens Review Board?

A Thought-Provoking Opinion By Brother Love little Black girl's life did not matter when she was taken from her home barefooted and without the protection of a winter coat on her back by a police officer who threw her in the back of a police cruiser and took off down the road to the Macon Road KMart, where he had not even viewed the security video footage before he went running off to the child's home to snatch her up away from her father and 16-year old sister in the winter time. The police officer had no warrant. It was a case of all teenage Black girls that day at that time shopping in the Macon Road KMart looking alike. He traumatized this 13-year old child, her sister, and the father because he never stopped to view security video at the store.

PART II The CPD is a department within the Columbus Consolidated Government.

Police officers enforce the law but are not above the law. They have badges and carry firearms, can be judge, jury, and executioner in the performance of their sworn duties, but police officers are still government employees. As government employees they must be held accountable for their actions and failures to act. These sworn peace officers can rob a citizens of life, liberty, and happiness in a single instance of mistaken identity, as was the case in 2006 with Atlanta police officers firing 39 shots and killing 92-year old Kathryn Johnston in her own home.

After police killed Ms. Johnston, they lied about what occurred and they planted illegal drugs to cover up the killing of Ms. Johnston. They tried to get a confidential informant to lie along with them. That is the power police have. That is why police must not be left to routinely investigate their own.

Citizen oversight with subpoena power is only a threat to a corrupt city government and corrupt leaders of corrupt police officers.

In 2007, one year after Ms. Johnston was shot and killed, the City of Atlanta formed the Atlanta Citizens Review Board as an independent agency. The

ACRB was officially given subpoena power in May of 2010 so the board would have the power and authority to be totally effective. This sensible and progressive response to the tragedy was not the case in Columbus after an unarmed Kenneth B. Walker was shot twice in the head because the deputy first imagined he had a gun and admitted shooting, but then later on the story changed to he tripped and the 9mm submachine gun accidentally fired. When a police officer pulled his weapon and threaten to kill an unarmed teenager and was not fired or charged, and when Hector Arreola was died after his encounter with Columbus police, Mayor Teresa Pike Tomlinson still was standing firm against a citizens review board with subpoena power because it benefits the city for the citizens to be kept in the dark far away from the truth that we are being played and betrayed in this city.

The lives of certain people, or people groups, in Columbus do not matter as lives matter in other cities. A 13-year old

That police officer could have went to that father and tried to take his baby daughter out the home and things could have turned out very bad all around. Anything could have happen in an instance. That is why we need and the opposing powers do not want a citizens review board with subpoena power. They are protecting the police and concealing the whole truth.

The ones that make all the fuss and throw out all the excuses why there should not be a board with subpoena power to get to the truth of every matter that would come to its attention, well, those are the ones it appear are deeply involved in the cover-up of police wrongdoing and concealing of the ugly truth from the taxpaying citizens.

We play by a different set of rules here in Columbus.

Let's just be open and honest for a change about our city. We have our own modern day version of a "peculiar institution" or system in the Deep South. Don't be fooled by the fact that there a Black people in power positions in the CCG. They may be people of integri-

ty, but they are still employees of the city. They say and do what they are told to say and do or they look for another job.

Teresa Pike Tomlinson even said Columbus Consolidated Government had a good ol boy system, which she actually only gave a makeover and upgrade. We still play by good ol boy rules. The examples of wrongdoing, excessive force, and misconduct I will now describe happen under Tomlinson as Mayor/Public Safety Director. It is just fine here if a troubled female teenager in a group home in Columbus can be slammed on a couch and a police sergeant can pull his loaded weapon and point it at the child's head and announce twice that he will f-king kill her. He can lie on an official report, and go home after resigning and actually getting away with committing what would amount to three (3) felonies, Aggravated Assault, Terrorist Threats, and Violation of Oath of Office.

The police officer was not even fired under the truthfulness policy, like Tony Adams, but the Assistant Chief of Police told the news reporter that Chief Boren chose to handle the whole incident administratively, meaning not criminally. The case was not turned over to the District Attorney, nor, I am sure, was the Columbus Council ever informed by the Public Safety Director.

These councilors deliberately do not make that sort of thing their business because of the unwritten laws they apparently adhere to as a legislative b o d y .

That's good ol boy. That is a blatant betrayal of the citizens' trust. They are failing to fully represent and getting away with it.

(Continued in Part III)

Page 8 PART II Right here in Columbus, Georgia we have a ranking officer with CPD who was investigated by CPD investigators and lied at least 22 times on the record during the investigation, and apparently induced a female subordinate to also lie over 20 times in support of his lies, and that former captain was not fired on the spot by the chief for the overall good of the department, but was at the first clear opportunity promoted in rank and twice placed in a greater leadership position over even more officers to the point that the talk today is that he will either be the next police chief or assistant police chief.

The captain had been held in contempt of court and placed on probations by a sitting judge. Why would the chief allow a documented liar to remain with CPD, and allow that same captain to swap out his 3-day slap on the wrist suspension with three (3) personal vacation days and never miss a day at work. That is not a bad deal for lying over 20 times to police investigators when you are a police captain.

That police captain as a documented liar would not even be allowed to take the witness stand by a District Attorney in a court of law. Criminals could walk free if the defense attorney discovered the captain was a well-documented liar in his own police department. That is the kind of thing tolerated and hide from the public in Columbus. Is that an example of trustworthy leadership?

If the leaders can lie and get away with it, do you really think that patrol officers and the detectives that see and know this will not do the very same thing and follow the example that has been set by the very top?

Why do you have any of that highly questionable conduct and decisionmaking which I have described to you going on with CPD? Because the police chief handled it administratively, and the mayor, whatever mayor, and council close their eyes and pretend things like this never go on, and, last but certainly not least of all, there is no independent citizens police review board with subpoena power to look into such matters and bring them to the attention of the public. It is a conspiracy of secretiveness and silence.

It is malfeasance. They do not want

BROTHER LOVE CONTINUED you to know the truth.

The younger community activists and fighters for justice now on the scene in Columbus motivated by the killings of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks must not compromise this time or ever when they are standing on right and fighting for justice. Go after a board with subpoena power because you are concerned citizens who are sick and tired of being denied and treated like you are second class and third rate.

Don't allow them to tell you in a polite way that you don't matter so take or leave it. Don't accept a compromise on what the power structure has deliberately been denying the people for these seventeen (17) years.

Yes, that is right, Berry " S k i p " Henderson III, nice guy and all, has b e e n against a citizens r e v i e w board with subpoena power for seventeen (17) years. That is a terrible record on his part. That is an absolute insult to Black community, at least to those of us with any self-respect and unafraid. They are actually denying our humanity, and putting us in danger. Hector Arreola is dead behind some 300 pound CPD officers sitting on his back with Hector telling the officers sixteen (16) times, "I can't breathe." They are more worried in this city about bricks and mortar and the next SPLOST than they are about flesh and blood, depending on whose flesh and blood you are talking about.

Where is the right in any of that?

Where is the mayor's love and desire for the community moving forward together as a One Columbus? Where is his full commitment to accountability and transparency that has not been on display for seventeen (17) years that we can count?

What is the tremendous fear of subpoena power if all is truly as professional and as perfectly carried out as they claim with the Columbus Police Department and its officers? You don't spend a lot of time dreaming up excuses and ways to hide things when there is nothing to hide. They are calling us all fools to our faces, and have been doing that with help from members of the Black community.

They are telling us that we are inferior as citizens of Columbus, and as human beings. This is the same old story we have been living as Black and Brown people in the South, and it is time to put a quick and decisive end to it while the rest of the nation will back us up in the fight for justice. You will not have to get ugly, but you may definitely have to get very loud for the deaf to hear what we have been saying for far too long in the 21st century. Fight the same fight but in a new and improved way.

A Columbus Citizens Review Board with Subpoena Power is something that can be done, and they know just like I know how it can legally be done the same as it is in Atlanta. If how the Black community felt mattered after a tragedy, then it would have been done almost twenty (20) years ago.

They don't worry about Black citizens in Columbus holding the line so they don't care. The NAACP is the only recognized group that has called for and fought for a citizens review board with subpoena power. Don't be deceived. All that sugary talk you will hear is simply the way the power structure tells you that they do not plan on giving you any more than what little they eventually decide to give you whenever they get around to doing it. It is all about them. They

Thursday July 30, 2020 matter and we don't matter. That has been the underlying message all along.

They are clear about who is deserving and who is not deserving. We hold no real value to them so we are not deserving. This type of thing runs deep within a person's heart.

There is no true citizens review board without subpoena power, and they know it. That is why they oppose subpoena power and investigative authority. As a concerned citizen and community activist I have heard every conceivable lie they could come up with to in the final result just tell us no. Whatever civil rights and community activists recommend just can't be done. The answer is always no. That is the same good ol boy, plantation mindset that has really characterized the multiple rejections since local NAACP President Edward O. DuBose first appeared before Columbus Council and called for a citizens review board with subpoena power in 2003.

Don't take "no" for an answer when you know it can be done and should be done in the interest of good government and the good of the citizens and the police department. Don't accept the second-class, subordinate citizenship status some of the leading older Black generation members in Columbus is happy and content with apparently to this very day. Go forward un-bossed, un-bought, unafraid, uncompromised and uncompromising.

Stand united of one mind and one voice against all injustice and every double-standard. Don't sell out the people as others have for lunch at the Columbus Country Club or dinner at the Green Island Hills Country Club.

Don't lose your soul in service to injustice and oppression.

Columbus will never move forward if it is allowed to remain backward when it comes to treating all citizens with dignity and respect. The time is now to do something great for the younger generation that believes that all lives will not matter until Black lives do.

You can make a real and lasting difference here in Columbus, Georgia. I know you can do it because you are very so much more than a few. You have the numbers. Go do the work.

No Justice, No peace

Todo el mundo puede ayudar a detener la propagación de la COVID-19, veamos cómo (StatePoint) A medida que las empresas y los servicios se reactivan en todo el país, el número de muertos por COVID-19 sigue aumentando y los expertos advierten que los estadounidenses deben seguir tomando precauciones para ayudar a detener la propagación del virus.

“En los estados de todo el país, la propagación de la COVID-19 es sobrecogedora y preocupante. Todos tenemos un papel que desempeñar para detener la propagación y protegernos a nosotros mismos, a nuestra familia y a nuestros vecinos”, dice la Dra. Susan R. Bailey, presidenta de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense (AMA). “La ciencia es clara. Sabemos lo que detiene la propagación del virus –usar mascarillas de tela, distanciamiento físico y lavarnos las manos regularmente– y depende de todos nosotros practicar estos pasos. Sin una vacuna para este nuevo virus, la única manera de cambiar el rumbo y recuperar un sentido de normalidad es trabajando juntos”.

La AMA ofrece la siguiente orientación e información que pueden ayudar a mantenerlos sanos y seguros a usted, a sus amigos y a sus seres queridos.

• Use una mascarilla de tela: Dé los sencillos pasos que la ciencia ha demostrado que ayudan a detener la propagación del virus: usar una mascarilla de tela, mantener el distanciamiento físico y lavarse las manos.

Los métodos más sencillos de eficacia probada siguen siendo los más importantes.

• Manténgase al día en sus visitas al médico: Antes de que decida

abstenerse de su atención de rutina o de las pruebas de detección, hable con su médico. Los médicos están utilizando servicios de telesalud y han tomado precauciones m i n u c i o s a s para que sus cons u l t a s s e a n seguras.

Cuide de mantenerse al día con sus vacunas y no permita que algo que en circunstancias normales podría manejarse con una consulta oportuna a su médico lo ponga en el hospital.

• Tenga en cuenta que la reactivación no es lo mismo que un regreso a la normalidad: Cuando esté bajo techo, use mascarilla, incluso en restaurantes y tiendas que estén abiertas. Plantéese comer al aire libre siempre que sea posible. Manténgase conectado con amigos y familiares, pero hágalo de una manera físicamente distante y segura, incluyendo pequeñas reuniones al aire libre donde se utilicen mascarillas y desinfectante de manos.

• Tómese tiempo para despejar la cabeza y descansar: En el caso de muchas personas que trabajan desde casa o trabajan en condiciones más estresantes, es importante hacer descansos de salud mental.

Levántese y camine, dé un paseo al aire libre, aléjese de la computadora y tómese días u horas libres del trabajo.

A medida que el número de muertes por COVID-19 sigue aumentando, médicos, enfermeras, líderes hospitalarios y de sistemas de salud, investigadores y expertos en salud pública quieren que los estadounidenses sepan que ayudar a detener la propagación del virus está en sus manos.
