Dorian Johnson….. dies after being shot in Ferguson | CNN

The problem here is that CNN is perpetuating a lie. The investigation of the incident between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown showed that “hands up don’t shoot” was a false narrative.  Why must CNN perpetuate this lie? Why is CNN trying to keep this false narrative of “hands up don’t shoot” alive?

This is a perfect example that police oversight and accountability still exist. The federal DOJ should not be the leader in police oversight and accountability.

Policing Campus Protests

College campuses across the country celebrate their legacies of creating free speech guarantees following student protests from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, even though colleges had minimal tolerance of such protests at the time. As part of the New Left’s vision for a different society, students, sometimes joined by faculty, demanded an end to the Vietnam War and war industry research, fought for Black and ethnic studies departments, and protested urban renewal plans that displaced Black working-class communities.

We are experiencing another transformative moment. Lawmakers and other stakeholders pressure university administrators to act against students or face funding cuts. Police repression follows, escalating into violence. Universities create or enlarge their own police or security forces in response, while also expanding codes of conduct to quash disruptive protest activity. This Symposium Piece traces the throughlines between university responses in the past and today.
