“What tape exists of the first critical incident in the Midway district, due to a security camera, has not been released by the department. Chief Shelley Zimmerman has gone so far as to state that releasing these videos will be on a riot standard. Not only is the language itself provocative, but it reveals a lack of transparency on the part of the department. San Diego Police is known for it’s penchant for almost military secrecy, and keeping things vague. Yet, they speak often about community policing. Yes, the Department once led the nation in the process of creating community policing. These days It is the largest urban department with this wide spread deployment of body cameras which has not led to increased transparency.”

Halt to violence against women!!
Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. At least one
of every three women in the world has been beaten, forced to have sexual intercourse or
ill-treated differently in her life with the abuser usually someone who knows the name / family.
Some of the forms of violence perpetrated by individuals are rape; domestic violence;
sexual harassment; coercive use of contraceptives; female infanticide; the prenatal screening
gender-based violence; the obstetric and mob violence; as well as the traditional or
customary practices harmful , as the crimes of honour, the violence the dowry, female genital
mutilation, marriage by abduction and forced marriage. Some forms of violence are
perpetrated or condoned by the state, such as the rape of war; sexual violence
and sexual slavery during conflicts; forced sterilization; forced abortion;
the violence of the police and staff of authority; the stoning and flogging . Many
forms of violence against women, such as the trafficking of women and forced
prostitution are often perpetrated by organized crime networks.

INVITE EVERYONE –Lets see who can invite the most to THIS EVENT
Remember to connect what’s happening at a national level is also happening in San Diego, The same issues that were exposed in Ferguson are in San Diego. The system of power, White Supremacy, is well and alive in San Diego, hurting marginalized communities. Let’s make sure we seek justice for them. Let’s end the occupation of our communities by Police.
A new book by the political scientist Michael Javen Fortner called the “Black Silent Majority” builds off longstanding historical arguments by liberals and conservatives alike—from Bill Cosby to Richard Nixon—that black people were and are complicit in creating high rates of poverty and violence in poor and working-class black communities. The New York Times review says Fortner’s book “perpetuates a newer myth of post-civil-rights America: that nothing stands in the way of racial equality except black people’s own choices and behavior.”
Once again, the “black-on-black crime” myth has been bolstered by the mainstream. So we thought it appropriate to resurface this guide to debunking it. And added to our list of resources are the New Yorker andNew York Times reviews of the “Black Silent Majority.”
Hello, and welcome to the guide to debunking “black-on-black crime” and all of its rhetorical cousins. Black-on-black crime may no longer bethe right-wing media’s slogan du jour, but its replacements express the same sentiment.
Inevitably, when there’s an uptick of homicides in cities with sizable black populations, or to deflect from movements calling attention to the killings of black people by law enforcement, headlines like these crop up: “Black Lives Matter only When They Are Killed by White Cops”, “#SomeBlackLivesDontMatter,” and “Murder Capital Homicide Explosion in wake of Freddie Gray case dwarfs rate of similar cities.”
So we here at Fusion have put together a comprehensive list on what to do when someone you love, hate, or feel so-so about goes on about “but what about that black crime in the black community” as an alternative to talking about the deaths of black people by police. We got you. Start with: “Nah, chill. Here’s what’s actually going on.”
1. First thing to debunk? The term “black-on-black crime”:
Gary Younge over at the Nation writes:
“America is very segregated, and its criminality conforms to that fact. So the victims of most crimes are the same race as those who commit them. Eighty-four percent of white people who are killed every year are killed by white people. White people who buy illegal drugs are most likely to buy them from white people. Far from being extraordinary, the fact that black criminals are most likely to commit crimes against black people makes them just like everybody else. A more honest term than “black-on-black crime” would be, simply, ‘crime.’”

2. Gun violence in black communities is a matter of public health, and it depends on a variety of structural inequalities.
Jonah Birch and Paul Heideman break it down in Jacobin:
“Research suggests that violent crime rates are driven by a variety of social factors which tend to make American cities particularly prone togun violence against black residents. Among the most of these factors are very high levels of neighborhood segregation, concentrated un- andunderemployment, poverty and a dearth of adequate social services orinstitutional resources. Fundamentally, gun violence has to be treated like other kinds of public health problems — not as the basis for continuous, empty calls for an introspective discussion about ‘black on black violence.’ And like other kinds of public health disparities, tackling high rates of inter-personal violence requires confronting thesocial context in which it occurs.”

Update uaptsd.org is up to 341 documented killings by every branch of law enforcement in San Diego County. Just recently, the coroners reported to the family of #LamontezJones killed on 10/20/15 is the 2014th death. Still digging, still demanding for transparency, accountability, and Justice#SDSTOLENLIVES

From ACLU Thursday November 12 at City Hall; Demand the PSLN Release the Profiling Report!
Hello fellow community leaders and allies,
In the last couple of weeks (months!) our local San Diego Police Department has been in the media almost every day. Though I work with many of you in a different capacity, today I would like to talk to you about an issue that we have been facing for many years: the issue of police accountability and transparency. For more than a year we, and many allies, have been asking the department to release information on racial and ethnic profiling in traffic stops (and for them to begin compiling data on pedestrian stops). You may remember last year when initial data was released—and it didn’t look good for the SDPD.
The community brought pressure on the San Diego City Council, which contracted with San Diego State University to do an independent, thorough analysis of the race data, and it looked like we were getting closer to getting an answer. The data analysis report was to be presented this upcoming Thursday at the Public Safety & Livable neighborhoods committee. But just two weeks ago, without any discussion or notice, Councilwoman Marti Emerald decided to hold off on releasing the report until June 2016, though SDSU has completed its analysis and was ready to report.
Please join me this upcoming Thursday, Nov. 12, outside of City Hall to demand for this report to be released! We can’t continue to wait any longer for this data to confirm what we know—and experience—as a community. Our community deserves transparency and accountability from this department and deserves to see its concerns about profiling practices addressed by our city leaders. Please join us, see information below. I have also attached here two great reports KPBS has released on this matter. See you next Thursday!

We, at Black Lives Matter Nashville, believe we are in the midst of a revolutionary movement for black lives. We believe we are at war with systems in this country and world that demean and undermine the humanity of black people–namely, white supremacy, patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, capitalism, and imperialism. Thus, we believe in arming ourselves for the war. And we believe there’s no better way to arm ourselves than with books. We’ve compiled a rolling bibliography of books that have been helpful for us while we conceptualize and navigate this movement. It’s rolling because there’s always more to add. Please submit more books, documentaries, links, and resources that have shaped and impacted you to blacklivesmatternashville@gmail.com.
