Einstein's Demands
Einstein's Demands
By 1914, Albert Einstein's marriage to his wife of 11 years, Mileva Marić, was fast deteriorating. Realising there was no hope for their relationship on a romantic level, Einstein proposed that they remain together for the sake of their children, but only if she agree to the following list of conditions.
Mileva accepted them, but to no avail. A few months later, she left her husband in Berlin and moved, with their sons, to Zurich. They eventually divorced in 1919, having lived apart for five years.

MY LIFE, MY STAND III
Obviously, noting in this life is simple or straight forward, least of all alone, all is connected, and one must be able to see those connections, one could, but that we are blinded by our own visions.
Friends and relatives have questions, but they don't like my answers, they don't want answers, they want some one to just agree with them, simple life requires simplicity, not complications, not thinking, not arguments, we like to be left alone in our own worlds, dream worlds, do not like someone to come around and rock our boat.
As usual I connect things, one to the other, and that complicates peoples lives. Mt brother talks about lonely people, my sister about the future of Pakistan and my friend about the role, or lack thereof of the liberal ideology and sexualiztion of the culture, the kids. SO are they not interrelated? I believe they are, in my mind they all go together, strange my mind how it works, MY MIND WORKS.
Is it not true that, "Boredom, loneliness and discontent are the blessings of materialism.". What if we were still hunting/ gathering for food, if we had a sick child and we did not know what was wrong and could not afford the treatment, if we were in the midst of war, or just being shot at, if we were so poor that we did not food to eat, or shelter over our head, would we be bored? lonely? sitting o Facebook or looking for love? I think not. I know, I have been in many of those conditions though not all by any means, but IO bet you you would not be bored lonely, alone, bored or looking for love or sex.
" N , in life as in death, loneliness is suffocating. I have this challenge for you and whoever will read this post on your wall: Show this post to the stranger next to you and give him or her a hug, to the family member next to you and give him or her an affectionate kiss, and to the friend next to you, well, give her or him the warmest smile and a friendly hug. Then, I want you to copy this challenge and post it on the walls of 10 of your dearest friends on FB" so I read it.
I said, and hell of a cheap date, if a wise man would have learnt to keep his mouth shut, I am not that wise of a man, I blame the liberal media for the assualt on woman' personality, self worth etc, so I was told, " I don't know what "liberal ideology" of which you speak..........as I know of NO liberals who promote irresponsibility. Those who engage in such practices may be liberals or maybe not...... I know some trash girls who just had to have babies at age 15 because they were "pro life".....". I have a problem now.

LONELY
lonely man
looking for a friend
hoping he'll find
one day, some one
that will love him
for he
whatever may be
Lonely man
with his heart of gold
little bit shy
and not so bold
sitting in his room
staring at the walls
staring at the telephone
nobody calls
lonely man
heart filled with despair
hoping someone will notice
someone will care
icy the winds of time
blow with force of gale
our hearts are empty shells
love is for sale

RANDOM THOUGHTS

RANDOM THOUGHTS
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
This will probably mean that one can not (at least I myself) can not have just random thoughts, and yes, most of the time my mind likes to make a salad of things, toss them up and see what flavor comes out.
So this guy goes out and kills three people at a local strip club, there are two things personally important to me about this story, no not what you are thinking, first, this is the second time in less than one year that one of the former class mates of one of my daughters has committed murder, and two, that son of the club owner was killed in this incident and the club was open again within hours of the shooting and murders, yes I said hours.
It was just a couple of days ago that I argued with this lady on the "on point" show on the npr website, (link below) that we should not try to fix kids, society, families whatever after they become a problem but try to find ways to not allow the problems to become that in the first place. "Can you tell me how a rational and logical person, EVER, having weighed all the circumstances and the consequence of his act can go out and commit murder.", my quote.
Now that is not an original idea, Leviticus thought so also, so did Hammurabi. I am not a callous person (bragging?), but drive around your town and notice something, I will tell you later, not half jokingly I told someone, hey the boy is dead but them girls got kids to feed and their pimps to look out for. Really is that what the humanity has come down to? Do you really care about these incidents? We had Arizona, the Fort Hood, the Aurora, and then not a week ago the Wisconsin deal, the message get over it real quick and move on, so to that notice something. When you drive around town you see the national flag at half staff, recently it is at half staff more days than it is not, do you care? Had you even noticed? Nah move on, life is short indeed, have some fun, you can not stop. Have some fun, grief is to be by the book, some psychologist tells you , may be even your preacher or Imam told you , "he is in a better place", he is with the Lord, blah blah, so you forget, forget and move on, have some fun, so your soul mate is dead surely you can find someone else, "he will want you to move on" and we become mechanical, automatons.We should just buy shorter flag posts and save on the cost of the rope too.

Reading, Writing And Character by NPR's On Point
Reading, Writing And Character by NPR's On Point
and this too
As usual, and I am happy to see that everyone here has an opinion. And as usual they don't know what they are talking about. How do we, as a nation talk to the kids about self control when we, the country, the society have none ourselves, at
ANY level. And we laud and promote bad behavior, even Reward the same.
No wonder the panel, the questioners and the comments here are way OFF
the mark. It is hard to find one fine point to start from, so I will pick one at random. We live in time of " just do it", and "have it your way" for starters. We do things for "fun"
We have a culture where you can not correct someone for their bad
behavior, start with say President Clinton having an affair, to Romney
lying about health care, if it is our Christian ethos or pop psychology
whatever the basis, we must first define some right or wrong for our own
character. If it is all in the name of, "it is a free country" then we
must accept our total and abject failure right here. You can not give something, to someone, that you do not yourself posses.
Before going further let me mention this much. In the name of freedom
and progress we have become a clueless and ignorant folk that not only
need advice on parenting, we need advice on that all natural and basic
act of sex, isn't progress just great, how in the hell did we ever get
here? Now, do you really want to educate me on how to teach children
about self control, in this culture where moms have daily visits with
there boyfriends, dads run out with their secretaries, children are
taught the basics of making out on Disney and Nickelodeon. Where bad
girls and bad boys get rewards, Zack and Cody run the hotel, and
spending money at the mall is a favorite pass time. Children of three
and four are brought to the store and told, "get what you want".

If you read my blog, I said as much in 2003, that 9/11 stopped US from going in to depression, that the interest rates were kept low to allow government to keep borrowing and ended up causing housing bubble, and in 2009 that Obama will keep
the war going in Afghanistan to keep providing defense jobs, it is not a secret, Republicans know that and so the Dems, cutting defense ( best paying jobs in US ) will hurt the economy, and a lot of our high ranking military /civilians get kick backs as jobs with contractors.

MY STAND, MY LIFE , II
By any standard, I have had an amazing, wonderful, crazy, blessed, blissful, rough and whatever adjective you want to throw in, LIFE. I tell you my story, (only parts of it though), Not to garner your appreciation, sympathy or applause, but to let you know, if you understand, why I say the things I say.
I have a front seat on life. You can not pigeon hole me like your average person, and I am totally average. I could write a book, but I don't want to waste your time, like Obama, Bush, or Cheney or Clinton'. I have dined with princes and generals, deputy ministers, and I also dined with pimp who's hooker cooked my super. I have been with a stripper and with a choir singer too. I have had five star meals and been in a charity soup line, I have slept in a Salvation Army shelter, under a bridge, in a leaky shanty and in five stars hotel, I have hitch hiked, and bought a Mercedes for my daughter, (and also drive one).
WE DO NOT LIVE IN A JUST AND A FAIR WORLD, WHAT YOU AND I HAVE IS NOT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING WE DID TO EARN IT, ANY MORE THAN SOMEONE CAUGHT IN A WAR OR OTHERWISE DESERVES TO BE RAPED OR TORTURED OR SHOT.
Thus the first step to being/becoming a human is to get over yourself. When we think of our self as smart or educated we MUST acknowledge first that we ARE GIVEN( some may even call it a god given gift), AN ABOVE AVERAGE BRAIN, and secondly that we had the opportunity and the resources to use this gift (Brain) and most important of all that what we do know and call our knowledge IS actually handed down to us by the millions who came before us, over the centuries, and gave us this head start, left on our own and out and away from all we would still be some where trying to figure out what this hard on was in our hand.

MY STAND, MY LIFE
I must admit I have the most wonderful life, charmed yes! When I look back at where I started from, what I went thru, where I ended up and the twists and turns of my path along the way, may be I should not be here, may be I should not be making this claim, I give credit, where the credit is due, it has been a wonderful trip.
You wonder why this BS, what I try to prove here, why am I even writing this, so here it is. My life, my stands on the subjects, my ideology does not fit a pattern, you could not pigeon hole me if you tried.I tell you in the intro to this blog, ( I have never changed the intro after day one I posted here) I will tell you the truth, of course it is the truth the way I say see it see it becomes the only truth that I know. Ironically, I am no different here, we all know the "ONLY TRUTH" that we know. Yeah, it is funny this way.
Let e go back to the beginning as to why this particular rant at this particular time,
I posted this picture on my face book [page got two comments, and also two likes
1st ,
let me go back a bit to the time before Obama was elected, please read this article here
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/03/race-about-race.html
let me point out something else also, I had posted this picture a few days earlier and read the comments
It is sad that in this time, humans have no value, women or men, girls or boys, Africans, Arabs, Mexicans, Greeks or Afghanis... May be one day, someone will stand up for those who have no one to protect themJuly 28 at 7:03pm ·
Now why am I going thru the trouble of explaining, (confusing) all of this, to make sense of it, at least to my own self.
There are two truths that we must acknowledge, one that all politicians, presidents, prime ministers, kings, sultans, dictators and even military commanders running the country all lie, all the time, and the second and the more important that, all money is imaginary, once you have got this in your head then the rest is easier to understand, whatever that rest is.
If as Obama was sold to the world as the Messiah and he knew what was up with the country he would have told us the truth and had known a way out, but that did not happen, he was just playing a game and we followed, he lied and he won, it could have been some other liar of the same capacity. Obama promised what he could not deliver, did he know what he was talking about? Was he just "a liar or an ignorant ass", as what I called Bush on the radio in 2007. HE LIED, he told us what his bosses on the Wall Street told him to say. Here is a letter of mine that was published in the local paper in March of 2008, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/03/reality-check.html
I promise to tell the truth, I always have on my blog at least.
I have a habit of running of at the mouth some say, ( mostly my wife) but what is going on in Syria? many want the over throw of the Alawi regime, but who will win and what the outcome will result in? HAve we not been financing the uprising, has not Israel and other so called Muslim countries, because Bashar is sheia, so we help Israel and get the ground work done for an attack on Iran, and be happy that a alawai regime is over thrown, we will pay the price and pay dearly, the Israel will be able to take over all the Palestinian territory that she wants as a result, but who cares.
here is something else for you to look at, then we will talk more

1st ,
Are
you serious? Blaming Obama for what was done in the name of America
when the congress is a dysfunctional institution and the Senate is
0.0001 of what it used to be? What are the alternatives? A President
belonging to a cult? A man who m
ade the
most racist remark about the Palistinians? Pllllease! Obama did not
bring the American economy to its current situation, Cheney, Rumsfeld
and Wolfowitz did. He tried to close Guentanamo but who supported him? I
love Obama for he is a human being who cared and still cares but who
wants him to succeed in America? The East and West cost States, not
Jesus Land or the Cult.
and the 2nd
1. http://www.salon.com/topic/guantanamo/
2. Cheney, Rumi, and wolf killed the economy? Probably a bit too partisan to be any where near correct.... Did Cheney kill Glass stegal, nope... that was done by Bill Clinton & friends.
2. Cheney, Rumi, and wolf killed the economy? Probably a bit too partisan to be any where near correct.... Did Cheney kill Glass stegal, nope... that was done by Bill Clinton & friends.
Did Rumi lower interest rates to spur a housing boom? Nope, that was
done by Greenspan, a political appointee of BOTH Bush & Clinton.
3. Accountable? Please explain why the Obama administration has prosecuted MORE people under the Espionage Act of 1917 then ALL other Administrations combined, times 2.
4. NDAA... So he didn't sign that into law?
5. As commander in Chief, he is responsible for the "wars". Last I check we are bombing more muslim nations than we were under Bush.
6. GMO foods... Pretty sure the administration has been on board w/ this too.
So who do I blame?

July 28 at 8:01pm via mobile · the first comment in the first picture and the second comment in the second picture are from the same person only that the second picture was published before the first picture , with Obama in it.Now why am I going thru the trouble of explaining, (confusing) all of this, to make sense of it, at least to my own self.
There are two truths that we must acknowledge, one that all politicians, presidents, prime ministers, kings, sultans, dictators and even military commanders running the country all lie, all the time, and the second and the more important that, all money is imaginary, once you have got this in your head then the rest is easier to understand, whatever that rest is.
If as Obama was sold to the world as the Messiah and he knew what was up with the country he would have told us the truth and had known a way out, but that did not happen, he was just playing a game and we followed, he lied and he won, it could have been some other liar of the same capacity. Obama promised what he could not deliver, did he know what he was talking about? Was he just "a liar or an ignorant ass", as what I called Bush on the radio in 2007. HE LIED, he told us what his bosses on the Wall Street told him to say. Here is a letter of mine that was published in the local paper in March of 2008, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/03/reality-check.html
I promise to tell the truth, I always have on my blog at least.
I have a habit of running of at the mouth some say, ( mostly my wife) but what is going on in Syria? many want the over throw of the Alawi regime, but who will win and what the outcome will result in? HAve we not been financing the uprising, has not Israel and other so called Muslim countries, because Bashar is sheia, so we help Israel and get the ground work done for an attack on Iran, and be happy that a alawai regime is over thrown, we will pay the price and pay dearly, the Israel will be able to take over all the Palestinian territory that she wants as a result, but who cares.
here is something else for you to look at, then we will talk more

America's Police Shooting Gallery
America's Police Shooting Gallery http://www.pacificfreepress.com/opinion/12116-americas-police-shooting-gallery.html Sun 29 Jul 2012 America's Police Shooting Gallery written by Tom Engelhardt Written by Tom Engelhardt Police Shootings Echo Nationwide: Aurora Gets the Attention, But Guns Are Going Off Everywhere by Stephan Salisbury l TomDispatch Welcome to the abattoir -- a nation where a man can walk into a store and buy an assault rifle, a shotgun, a couple of Glocks; where in the comfort of his darkened living room, windows blocked from the sunlight, he can rig a series of bombs unperturbed and buy thousands of rounds of ammo on the Internet; where a movie theater can turn into a killing floor at the midnight hour. We know about all of this. We know because the weekend of July 20th became all-Aurora-all-the-time, a round-the-clock engorgement of TV news reports, replete with massacre theme music, an endless loop of victims, their loved ones, eyewitness accounts, cell-phone video, police briefings, informal memorials, and “healing,” all washed down with a presidential visit and hour upon hour of anchor and “expert” speculation. We know this because within a few days a Google search for “Aurora movie shootings” produced over 200 million hits referencing the massacre that left 70-plus casualties, including 12 fatalities. We know a lot less about Anaheim and the killing of Manuel Angel Diaz, shot in the back and in the head by that city’s police just a few short hours after the awful Aurora murders. But to the people living near La Palma Avenue and North Anna Drive, the shooting of Manuel Diaz was all too familiar: it was the sixth, seventh, or eighth police shooting in Anaheim, California, since the beginning of 2012. (No one seems quite sure of the exact count, though the Orange County District Attorney’s office claims six shootings, five fatalities.) Tomgram: Stephan Salisbury, Life in the American Slaughterhouse Is America an increasingly violent society? Statistics seemingly tell us no. From 2001 to 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, violent crime victimizations actually dropped 34%. While this decrease is part of a longer-term trend (and there’s still startling amounts of carnage in this country), it begs the question of whether the United States is really less violent than previously and, if so, where all that excess violence went. It’s notable that, since 2001, the U.S. has been exporting and facilitating violence of all sorts all over the globe. Some of this violence is thoroughly sanctioned and some isn’t. In Iraq, members of the U.S. military committed violent acts against untold numbers of Iraqis, including military personnel who served Saddam Hussein’s regime, as well as insurgents, and civilians. (The U.S. invasion itself touched off Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence that killed tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands and continues to this day.) Though the numbers may not be comparable, much the same story could be told about Afghanistan, not to speak of Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Americans have also killed African pirates on the high seas and, just days ago, an Indian fisherman on a boat in the Persian Gulf. Recently, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents have been killing suspected drug smugglers in Honduras. U.S. arms have been sent to Middle Eastern autocrats visiting violence on their own people and the U.S. military has trained African troops to more effectively kill African insurgents. American weapons have flooded Mexico and supercharged drug violence there. A war in Libya, involving the U.S. military, led to Tuareg fighters looting Libyan weapons stockpiles and committing acts of violence across the border in Mali (which was plunged into further violence due to a military coup by an American-trained officer). Today, America’s commander-in-chief regularly selects individuals in a number of countries to be placed on a “kill list,” targeted, and assassinated. And so it goes. Exporting violence is not, of course, simply a post-9/11 phenomenon. It’s been an American tradition, from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, from Haiti to Hiroshima. When the U.S. exported war to Southeast Asia, it eventually engulfed Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos in utter carnage. One way civilians there were frequently killed resulted from what historian David Hunt has trenchantly called “the sin of running.” A Vietnamese villager frightened by the roar of a helicopter or a door-gunner pointing an M-60 machine gun at her would bolt in fear or a young military-age man would take flight when armed American teenagers, who might detain, beat, or kill him, approached. As Vietnam veterans would later tell me, “running” branded Vietnamese as guilty, and so as enemies, in the minds of many U.S. troops and led to startling numbers of noncombatants being gunned down. Today, TomDispatch regular Stephan Salisbury examines police violence in America, which may, hardly noticed, be on the rise. In poor neighborhoods, in particular, the “sin of running,” it appears, is alive and well. For the last decade, we’ve barely noticed as the U.S. spread violence globally. At home, we generally take note of only a few of the most egregious or spectacular cases of violence. Luckily, Salisbury has delved deeper and offers a window onto the less-reported version of American violence that most of us fail to see. (To catch Timothy MacBain's latest Tomcast audio interview in which Salisbury discusses the lack of good numbers on police shootings and why they are so poorly covered, click here or download it to your iPod here.) Nick Turse Police Shootings Echo Nationwide: Aurora Gets the Attention, But Guns Are Going Off Everywhere by Stephan Salisbury Diaz, 25, and as far as police are concerned, a “documented gang member,” was unarmed. He was apparently running when he was shot in the back and left to lie on the ground bleeding to death as police moved witnesses away from the scene. “He’s alive, man, call a cop!” a man shouted at the police. “Why would you guys shoot him in the head?” a woman demanded. “Get back,” officers repeatedly said, pushing mothers and youngsters away from the scene, which they surrounded with yellow crime-scene tape. Neighborhood residents gathered on lawns along the street, upset at what had happened near their homes, upset at what has been occurring repeatedly in Anaheim. Then, police, seeking to disperse the crowd, began firing what appeared to be rubber bullets and bean bag rounds directly at those women and children, among others. Screaming chaos ensued. A police dog was unleashed and lunged for a toddler in a stroller. A mother and father, seeking to protect their child, were themselves attacked by the dog. We know this because a local CBS affiliate, KCAL, broadcast footage of the attack. We know it because cell phone video, which police at the scene sought to buy, according to KCAL, showed it in all its stark and sudden brutality. We know it also because neighbors immediately began to organize. On Sunday they demonstrated at police headquarters, demanding answers. “No justice, no peace,” they chanted. Who Is Being Killed and in What Numbers? This is daily life in less suburban, less white America. On Sunday, when the first of growing daily protests took place, Anaheim police shot and killed another man running away, Joel Mathew Acevedo, 21. Acevedo was armed and opened fired, police maintained -- yet another suspected gang member. It is not hyperbole to say this is virtually a daily routine in America. It’s considered so humdrum, so much background noise, that it is rarely reported beyond local newscasts and metro briefs. In the days bracketing the Aurora massacre, San Francisco police shot and killed mentally ill Pralith Pralourng; Tampa police shot and killed Javon Neal, 16; an off-duty cop shot Pierre Davis, 20, of Chicago; Miami-Dade police shot and killed an unidentified “stalking suspect”; an off-duty FBI agent shot an unnamed man in Queens; Kansas City police shot and killed 58-year-old Danny L. Walsh; Lynn police and a Massachusetts state trooper shot and killed Brandon Payne, 23, a father of three; Henderson police shot and killed Andy Puente Soto, 42, out in the desert wastes near Las Vegas. These are some of the anonymous dead. Their names are occasionally afloat on seas of Internet data or in local news reports. Many are young, even very young; many are people of color; many are wanted by the police for one thing or another; some are crazy; some are armed; some, like Manuel Diaz, are not. In the end, though, we know remarkably little about these victims of police action. The FBI, which annually tracks every two-bit break-in, car theft, and felony, keeps no comprehensive records of incidents involving police use of deadly force, nor are there comprehensive national records that track what police officers do with their guns. Because of that we have no sense of whether such killings are waxing or waning, whether different cities present different threats, whether increased use of private security guards poses a greater or lesser danger to the public, whether neighborhood watch groups are a blessing or a bane to their neighborhoods. The Trayvon Martins of the world, who could perhaps speak to that last point, are mute. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Report does include a more limited category of “Justifiable Homicide by Weapon, Law Enforcement,” defined as “the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty.” That figure has hovered around 400 annually for the last several years. (In 2010, it was 387, down from 414 in 2009; in 2006, it was 386.) Would Manuel Diaz fall into that category? Was he a felon? Can running fit the bill for “justifiable homicide”? The FBI does list all police officers killed while on duty, whether they are gunned down deliberately by violent suspects or hit accidentally by a car. (In 2010, the FBI reported, 56 officers died “feloniously,” while 72 were killed “accidentally.”) But the Manuel Diazes of America are not included in the FBI data sets. Ramarley Graham, 18, followed and shot by New York City police last February, is of little interest to FBI statisticians. But the Graham killing, which has resulted in manslaughter charges against a member of the NYPD, stirred numerous protests in that city. Luther Brown Jr., killed by Stockton, California, police in April, and James Rivera, killed by Stockton police two years ago, stirred community protest as well. Would their names make the FBI list of “justifiable homicide”? Who makes that judgment and on what basis? The Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics has been compiling data on deaths of suspects following arrests, but the information covers just 40 states and only includes arrest fatalities. From January 2003 through December 2009, bureau statistics show 4,813 deaths occurred during “an arrest or restraint process.” Of those, 61% (2,931) were classified as homicides by law enforcement personnel, 11% (541) as suicides, 11% (525) as due to intoxication, 6% (272) as accidental injuries, and 5% (244) were attributed to natural causes. About 42% of the dead were white, 32% were black, and 20% were Hispanic. Total gun deaths nationwide in 2010? 11,493, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Who Is At Risk? The lack of authoritative and comprehensive national data on police shootings and the reluctance of local law enforcement departments to release information on the use of deadly force has sent researchers onto the Internet searching for stories and anecdotal evidence. Newspapers looking into the issue must painstakingly gather information and documents from multiple agencies and courts to determine who is being killed and why. One major recent independent effort by the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2011 -- undertaken in the wake of community protests over two police shootings in 2010 -- confirmed anecdotal evidence drawn from virtually all major metropolitan areas. If you are a young man, a person of color, and live in a poor urban area, you are far more likely to become a victim of police gunfire than if you are none of those things. The newspaper, which analyzed court cases, police data, and other documents, determined that there had been 378 victims of police gunfire in the Las Vegas area since January 1990; 142 of the shootings were fatal. And deaths from police gunfire, the paper found, had risen from two in 1990 to 31 in 2010. Over the entire period of the study, the paper found that “blacks, less than 10 percent of Clark County's population, account for about 30 percent of Las Vegas police shooting subjects. Moreover, 18 percent of blacks shot at by police were unarmed.” A joint study carried out by the Chicago Reporter and the online news site Colorlines in 2007 determined that “about 9,500 people nationally were killed by police during the years 1980 to 2005 -- an average of nearly one fatal shooting per day.” African-Americans “were overrepresented among police shooting victims in every city” investigated (the nation’s 10 largest). African-Americans would not be surprised by this finding; nor would it come as a surprise to Hispanics to learn that they are increasingly at risk of police gunfire. Bureau of Justice statistics show that 949 Hispanics suffered arrest-related deaths from 2003 to 2009 (out of the total of 4,813 such deaths noted above). The numbers have bounced around over the years, but are trending up from 109 in 2003 to 130 in 2009. Certainly, the Latino community of Anaheim is familiar with this territory. Orange County and Anaheim authorities have promised investigations of the two recent police shootings. The FBI is reviewing the shootings and the U.S. Attorney’s office has agreed to conduct an investigation at the request of Anaheim’s civilian authorities. Those authorities -- the mayor and five-member city council -- are all Anglo, while Hispanics constitute about 52% of that city's 336,000 residents. There is no civilian complaint review board in place to conduct any probe of police actions, no independent group gathering information over time. The family of Manuel Diaz has filed a federal civil rights suit in the case and called for community calm as protestors become increasingly restive. “There is a racial and economic component to this shooting,” said Dana Douglas, a Diaz family attorney. “Police don’t roust white kids in affluent neighborhoods who are just having a conversation. And those kids have no reason to fear police. But young men with brown skin in poor neighborhoods do. They are targeted by police.” Post-9/11 Money Is No Help The last decade, of course, has seen an enormous flow of federal counterterrorism money to local police and law enforcement agencies. Since 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security has allocated $30 to $40 billion to local police for all manner of training programs and equipment upgrades. Other federal funding has also been freely dispensed. Yet for all the beefing up of post-9/11 visual surveillance, communications, and Internet-monitoring capabilities, for all the easing of laws governing searches and wiretaps, law enforcement authorities failed to pick up on the multiple weapons purchases, the massive Internet ammo buys, and the numerous package deliveries to the dark apartment in the building on Paris Street where preparations for the Aurora massacre took place for months. Orange County, where Manuel Diaz lived, now has a fleet of seven armored vehicles. SWAT officers turn out in 30 to 40 pounds of gear, including ballistic helmets, safety goggles, radio headsets with microphones, bulletproof vests, flash bangs, smoke canisters, and loads of ammunition. The Anaheim police and other area departments are networked by countywide Wi-Fi. They run their own intelligence collection and dissemination center. They are linked to surveillance helicopters. The feds have also anted up for extensive police training for Anaheim officers. In fact, Anaheim and Orange County have received about $100 million from the federal government since 2002 to bring operations up to twenty-first century speed in the age of terror. Yet for all that money, training, and equipment, police still managed to shoot and kill a running unarmed man in the back, just as NYPD officers shot unarmed Liberian-born Amadou Diallo after chasing him up his Bronx apartment building steps in February of 1999. Diallo was infamously shot 41 times after pulling his wallet from his pocket, apparently to show identification. Police thought it was a gun. The shooting precipitated national protests and acquittals in a subsequent trial of the police officers involved. The year Diallo was killed was also the year of the Columbine massacre, 20 miles from Aurora. It seems like only last week. Since that time the nation as a whole has become poorer and less white, while police departments everywhere are building up their capabilities and firepower with 9/11-related funding. Gun ownership of almost any sort has been cemented into our American world as a constitutional right and a partial ban on purchases of assault weapons lapsed in 2004, thanks to congressional inaction. This combination of trends should make everyone uneasy. Stephan Salisbury is cultural writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer and a TomDispatch regular.
