Are we headed towards a Racial War? I have an honest proposal.

So the police officer in New York who caused the death of a guy allegedly selling illegal cigarettes (wait I know people who have done that.) has also not been indicted. There is a saying that they would indict a ham sandwich.
Something has to happen soon.
But you won't see me out there protesting because
a) I don't want to be shot. On purpose or by accident
b) I don't think it will solve anything

Okay there are a lot of young whites out there. I'm not sure if they think they are safe protesting. But they are not. From what I've heard, even well meaning police are rushing toward protesters at various moments of voices rising with their hands on the triggers of their weapons. Accidents are bound to happen. Also, from the PR job that the leadership in Ferguson is doing asking the players on the Ravens who put there hands up in symbolic gesture of solidarity with protesters, it is clear that the leadership, or whoever talks to the press, in that organization is living in some sort of alternate bubble.

It reminds me of the mindset the police in Northern Ireland must have had before that massive crackdown in Derry which was later dubbed Bloody Sunday. They probably didn't understand why people watching in England were whining about. They were on a completely different page.

(note: If you are black, this event. As a half Asian and therefore a semi-person of color, I found learning about white on white racism to be enlightening and to even have a calming affect on me.)

If you think that sort of crackdown wouldn't happen in the states think again. Their may even be some people hiding among the protesters, or who are just among the protesters who would like to force such a situation to occur. It only takes one bullet or explosion FROM the crowd and then scared police will use full military force on unarmed civilians.

Also, I haven't been watching Fox news or whatever the other side of this is. But I witnessed a man, well known to me, who went nuts and started shouting at me about how my ideas that the officer should have been indicted were the cause of media bias and censorship. I thought I was talking to someone who was brainwashed and programmed to start fighting. He wasn't even white. The words "up here." as in which state I resided were quoted. If he is like that, that means half the country is like that. That's right, there is a half the population who a pretty much have nothing to do with the issue because they aren't black. who are so angry they are ready to start fighting too.

As to the extreme side in the African American camp, violent revolution would not be an unreasonable political stance to have. I haven't seen anyone saying that on TV, but seriously is that such a stretch.

Just saying.

Here is my little idea for where such a movement could go and what it could do unlikely Allies it could find  and multiple problems it could solve.

My idea is Community Policing, based on the Japanese System.

First of all, these community police should have very low pay, and maybe you make an enemy of police unions at first, but in places like Ferguson there needs to be an entire rehash. On the upside, you can get a lot of Republican allies, who want to cut government spending. That is key. Get conservative whites to actually be ON YOUR SIDE.

These new community Police, who will have very very low pay, and live in a little shack and be unarmed, maybe a benefit they get is tuition forgiveness. So you get a lot of liberals on your side for that, and you solve a serious problem. Also, who will want this crappy job. Among the wealthy, only crusaders who are protesting now for free. The OCCUPY type. They did stuff like that for free. So they would probably do that job for a couple of years.

Also, People of Color are more likely to be willing to do a job like that. BAM the bottom of your Police Force will be mostly non-white. Will their still be racial problems? Of course. I'm just saying Police shooting innocent people will go down. Maybe in the beginning, these unarmed police getting killed will go up.

The police will actually learn to like this system. The unarmed Community Cop will be spit on shit on perhaps by gangsters. But meanwhile they will quietly collect data, not making any arrests whatsoever. After a few months or something, hardcore police with military equipment come in and arrest key serious criminals all in one go. Criminals smart enough to move or away and stop criminal activity before this get lucky. But wait, if they stop, who cares? Isn't that the point?

Finally, another group that would be good at such a crappy job with no hope of upward mobility would be retirees. Old people who would normally be collecting Social Security. Yet another problem solved! Why do I say old people? When I did Crime Watch , FOR FREE in Chinatown, 70% of the people doing it were elderly FOR FREE. If one would do it for free it stands to reason they would do it for say $10,000 a year plus room and free meals from grateful neighbors. Okay $10,000 is way too, low. But seriously some people would do it. Including me. Are the protesters getting paid now?

$20,000 would be reasonable with tuition reimbursement. Throw in free courses and it is definitely worth it.

This system will promote corruption you say? These poorly paid police will be forced to sell drugs etc.

First of all that already happens. Secondly, you fire those guys. Believe it or not I think a lot of people who sign up for stuff like Teach for America, would be interested in being this kind of cop for a couple years after college. So would people who are homeless. So would people who are old and have nothing else to do.

This little bottom feeder group will either have to be Federal (probably will never happen) or this has to be some sort of experiment in one town that also has to be ghetto, and it has to have proven benefits.

I don't know how to make cool marketable posters with words, but seriously this is the way for a movement to go. Because it is doable. I don't know what the other ideas protesters are thinking about in terms of a SOLUTION. But my isn't bad right? Needs some work of course. But it is feasible and you can get people across party lines to agree. It solves a lot of problems. first and foremost being the death of young teens by accidental shooting by Police.  But my idea will bring everyone together for a time.

Otherwise we could be heading to some serious violence, or at the very least, a continuation of the same serious violence with nothing changing.
