(Tasha Sharifa) Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani sounds off in an out of touch stament advising Black parents how to raise their children saying: “You’ve got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you’ve got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police.”

He was addressing the concerns African Americans had with interactions with law inforcement in the wake of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile on CBS’ Face the Nation. Instead of using this as an opportunity to learn about genuine concerns, he instead turned the tables and blamed the vicims.

Chicago Cops Using State Law to Kill then Charging Innocent People for Murder They Committed:

An investigation into 10 recent Chicago criminal cases unearthed the extraordinary reach of the state’s “felony murder rule,” which is being used to cover up police crime, as well as prosecute and incarcerate the innocent, according to a report.

“Among the ten recent felony murder cases…three stem from police officers firing at fleeing vehicles in apparent violation of the department’s ‘deadly force’ policy, which since February 2015 has forbidden the practice,”according to findings by the Chicago Reader.

The revelation came while investigating the case of Tevin Louis, who was charged and convicted of the murder of his friend, Marquise Sampson, even though Sampson was fatally shot by police on Chicago’s South Side.

My Commentary: What if police just start calling their reckless murders of innocent bystanders and car passengers in their pursuit of suspects “collateral damage”? Will Americans start defending their actions? Or, is this practice only acceptable when the US military uses it as a label for the thousands of dead Iraqis, Afghanis, Pakistanis, Libyans, Yemenis, Somalians, and Syrians they’ve murdered in our name, and using our tax dollarsl? #InnocentLivesMatter

A Rule Meant to Reduce Neurosurgeon’s Fatigue Went Terribly Wrong:
http://www.learnliberty.org/blog/good-intentions-bad-policy-neurosurgeon-regulation/

Richard Menger, a neurosurgery resident at Louisiana State University’s Health Sciences Center, tells a surprising tale in an article for the Foundation for Economic Education: how a rule meant to reduce doctors’ fatigue made neurosurgery less safe.

The rule was made with good intentions. Tired doctors are more likely to make mistakes, so by limiting the hours medical residents are permitted to work in a given week, there should be fewer tired doctors making fewer mistakes.

The good intentions didn’t lead to good results, however…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Great Work,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Statists are not only willing to forfeit their freedom, and happily embrace government coercion...... But they're also arrogantly insistent that you will do the same, and they support government violence against you to gain your compliance."

() During the 1950s and 60s, America’s black families fought a difficult battle to integrate the public schools, hoping to give their children a better education. Because of this hard-won victory, many black parents have been strong supporters of public schools in the subsequent decades.

But that support may be changing.
