Rev. Al Sharpton has been praised by President Barack Obama as “the voice of the voiceless and a champion for the downtrodden,” and by former President George W.

  • Racial Profiling and the War on Terror: Changing Trends and Perspectives1
    Ethnic Studies Review Vo lume 29 RACIAL PROFILING AND THE WAR ON TERROR: CHANGING TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES1 Abu B. Bah NorthernIllinois University Minorities in the United States have often been treated unfa irly by law enforcement agencies. Prior to the September 11, 2001 , terrorist attack on the United States, Blacks were the main victi ms of racial profiling. Since the terrorist attack, however, Arabs and Muslims are becoming the primary targets for profiling by law enforcement agencies. There are some remarkable similarities between the profiling of Blacks and the profiling of Arabs and Muslims. In both cases, the fundamental problems with racial profiling are that it violates the civil liberti es of innocent people and denies minorities the equal protecti on of the law. TheWar on Te rror has redefined racial profiling. It has not only led to a shift in the target population, but it has also changed the ways in which raci al profi ling is conducted. This paper examines the problem of racial profiling before and after the terrorist attack of 9/1 1. It focuses on three kinds of changes that are crucial fo r understanding the current problem of ra cial profiling. These are: the ch anging rationale for racial profiling; the shift in the target population; and the diminishing efforts to combat racial profiling. Therati onale for ra cial profiling has often been linked to the government's responsibility to protect 76 Bah-Racial Profiting the public against crime, violence, and other fo rms of social disorder. Prior to the 9/1 1 attack, the rationale for racial profiling centered mainly on the need to protect the public against drug trafficking and il legal immigration.

  • Why the Diallo Jury Was Right
    Why the Diallo jury was right BY HARVEY A. SILVERGLATE March 3, 2000 The four police officers who pumped a fusillade of bullets into Amadou Diallo have been acquitted of murder. But the controversy surrounding their prosecution has proved yet again that it is extraordinarily difficult to talk constructively about race or police conduct in this country. When the two issues collide, the racial-politics charlatans and the law-and-order freaks make useful discourse nearly impossible. In this case, both sides took positions before the facts were known. There was New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who initially hid behind the stance that "the cops can do no wrong" with an appeal to withhold judgment. But his credibility had long since been destroyed by his failure thus far to do anything about rampant police misconduct during his administration. Then there was the Reverend Al Sharpton, who had been at the center of the Tawana Brawley case in 1988 and who organized the high-profile picketing of a Jewish-owned store in Harlem in 1995 (days after the picketing, the store was burned down and eight people died). He led street demonstrations that accomplished only one thing: they forced the appellate court to order the trial moved from the sizzling cauldron of New York City to the calmer environs of Albany. The appellate judges were, of course, perfectly correct in moving the trial -- not in order to produce an all-white jury (in fact, there were four black jurors), but because a civilized society cannot try a case in an atmosphere where jurors feel that an acquittal would set off riots or put them in personal danger.

Citizens expect those with badges and guns to follow the law as well as enforce it, but these two roles often come into conflict. Reporter Craig Horowitz recounted that one police officer justified his hitting a suspect in the stomach when the suspect tried to run away as being necessary to reestablish author- ity.1 Another police officer is quoted as saying, "[i]f someone disses you, you take him in an alley and slap him.

  • Diallo Protests Continue
    Diallo Protests Continue A demonstration at the state courthouse in Brooklyn, New York has drawn several hundred protesters chanting against police brutality. Most of the protesters are students. The demonstration was called in the wake of several high-profile cases in New York City involving police alleged police brutality and officers shooting civilians. The biggest case was the fatal shooting of West African immigrant Amadou Diallo. Four police officers were found innocent last Friday of shooting Diallo 19 times, in a barrage of 41 bullets. A jury in the Brooklyn courthouse is considering the conspiracy case against three other police officers who are accused of a cover-up after the beating and torture of another back man, Abner Louima. Meanwhile, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is defending his initial strong support for the police officers who shot an unarmed Diallo 19 times in the entrance way to his own apartment building CBS News Correspondent Bobbi Harley reports that for the mayor, the hope is just to move on. "Maybe we were asking for the conviction of four men that were from at least a legal point of view innocent and in a set of circumstances that had more to do with accident than deliberate misconduct," said Giuliani. But Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson, whose office tried the The Diallo Case: A Timeline unsuccessful case, has called for the resignation of the four officers, who still face a police review, a possible federal probe and a potential civil lawsuit by the family of Amadou Diallo. Johnson said: "You know, there have been some who said that Robert Johnson should resign.

  • Resisting Arrest: Shifting the Focus of the New York Police Department
    Resisting Arrest: Shifting the Focus of the New York Police Department Desiree Alexander INTRODUCTION ‘. I am invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe . I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me . When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination . anything except me. It is . often . wearing on the nerves . you doubt if you really exist . It’s when you feel like this that . you ache with the need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world . and you strike out with your fists, you curse, and you swear to make them recognize you. And, alas, it’s seldom successful.’ 1 This quote is from the book, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.2 It is set in the United States during the post-Civil War era where segregation laws prohibited black Americans from enjoying the same basic rights as white Americans.3 The book, published in 1952, details a college educated black American’s struggle in America to survive and to thrive.4 Sixty-three years after its publishing, this quote is still relevant. In 2015, black men still struggle to survive and thrive in America. Black men are disproportionately victims of police brutality.5 Police brutality may result when someone resists arrest. Although a police officer can use as much force as necessary to make an arrest or prevent an escape,6 often this may result in excessive force.7 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.15779/Z38PZ51M2S 1.

Al Sharpton Life Dates: October 3, 1954- Place of Birth: New York, New York, USA Work: Harlem, NY Occupations: Community Activist; Minister; Civil Rights Leader Biographical Note Born in Brooklyn, New York, on October 3, 1954, Reverend Alfred "Al" Sharpton has been preaching since age four. He was licensed and ordained at age nine. In 1971, he founded the National Youth Movement and for seventeen years he led the organization, registering young people to vote and giving them job opportunities. His direct-action and civil disobedience campaigns have brought attention to injustice in many areas. civil disobedience campaigns have brought attention to injustice in many areas. Sharpton has pursued other interests while continuing to preach: in his teens, he established a close bond with James Brown and developed a father-son relationship, eventually recording the record God Smiled on Me with him. In the 1970s and early 1980s, he worked as a youth organizer with boxing promoter Don King, while learning more about African American politics and entertainment. However, Sharpton never strayed far from activism. He formed the National Action Network in 1991 to fight for progressive, people-based social policies by providing extensive voter education and registration campaigns, economic support for small community businesses and by confronting corporate racism. That same year, Sharpton was stabbed in a Bensonhurst school yard. This represented a turning point for him. Eventually, he met and reconciled with his attacker. Sharpton has never hesitated to act in support of African Americans, from individuals seeking public offices to Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant brutalized by Brooklyn police in 1997.

  • Remembering Kenneth Thompson
    Remembering Kenneth Thompson An Editorial by J. R. de Szigethy The American Law Enforcement community was saddened this month by the sudden death of Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson. Only 50 years young, Thompson died from colorectal cancer. He is survived by his parents, brother, sister, wife, son, and daughter. Thompson was one of the most respected champions of Civil Rights in this country. Raised by his mother Clara, who became one of the first African-American female cops of the New York City Police Department in 1973, Thompson pursued a career that began with a stint in the U. S. Treasury Department and then later as an Assistant U. S. Attorney in Brooklyn in the mid-1990s. After work as a lawyer in private practice Thompson challenged and defeated Incumbent Charles Hynes in the race for Brooklyn District Attorney in 2013. Once elected as Brooklyn District Attorney, Kenneth Thompson kept his campaign pledge to focus on identifying and overturning cases of wrongful convictions in Brooklyn State Court. To date, Thompson's Conviction Review Unit has freed 21 people falsely convicted in Brooklyn, some of whom spent over two decades in prison for murders they did not commit. D. A. Thompson also followed the case of Hudson County, New Jersey Detective Joseph Walker, who was Indicted in 2013 on First Degree Murder charges after he and his wife and 3 children were driven off the road in the State of Maryland in a “road rage” altercation with a motorist who hurled a projectile from his vehicle that landed next to Walker's youngest daughter.
