"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I've received so many messages concerning illegal activities of local police that I've decided that its time for us to create a permanent forum to report our experiences. I am not afraid and you shouldn't be either. While there are numerous wonderful police officers on the job, there is also an outlaw faction within the ranks that needs to be held accountable for their actions. Police continue to shoot unarmed Black men, flaunt racial profiling, assault minorities and poor whites simply because they can, sell drugs in our community and violate our civil rights on a daily basis. I've lived through Frank Rizzo's illegal activity against the Black Panther Party, international disgrace for videotaped beatings and the daily hassle of living in a place where many police do not protect or serve US! We need to police the police. I'm not just talking about the Philly police either. How many of us KNOW that when we're in the suburbs and get stopped by police that they're going to be harder on us simply because we are residents of Philadelphia??? Very recently, pressure on me to discontinue my feelings about bad law enforcement has greatly increased. To my detractors (those who have something to hide) I say bring it on. I have nothing to fear as long as I speak the truth. I have no concern for your condemnation because God will reward and protect me.
