Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder- Missouri

He believes now is a time to praise "Anglo-American juris prudence".
If he keeps that up he is going to condemn it to death.
Is he blind? It's dying right now in Ferguson, right there in his own state, right before his eyes.
He is upset the curfew wasn't "from dawn to dusk".
Well sir, your governor didn't enact a long curfew because one couldn't be enforced.
President Obama didn't think any curfew could be successfully enforced.
We are way beyond "Anglo" juris prudence in Ferguson, Mr. Man.
Have you had a stroke?
"Anglo American juris prudence got started when America had slaves and women weren't allowed
a vote.
"Anglo American juris prudence" has to mold itself to the reality that African American juris
prudence needs to be incorporated into it, because we don't want to live on plantations. To the
extent the black community tries to do that, the community betrays itself in ways which cannot
last.
Why? Becasue some badge, some "enforcer" will take things way too far.
I want to be Cassandra for a moment.
No curfew will work in Ferguson.
If people like you don't wake up, the entire town is going to die.
Then what happens to the surrounding towns?
Already Target has lost millions.
Are you ready for that?
Unless you are going to keep the National Guard in place forever, and let Ferguson be a police
state, you will get no results from curfews in Ferguson.
Are you Mr.Anwar el Maliki? Isn't he a flawed ex leader who failed to be inclusive of all ethnic and
religious populations in his country?
People in Ferguson want no parts of your police unless the police are called.
Your county D.A. hasn't helped. Your idea of what his job entails has proven to be completely
ineffective.
Ferguson arrests the press, but not the murderous policeman.
And still you wear blinders.
Being unable to adapt to what real justice entails in this case makes Ferguson the poster child of how to let a handful of cigarillos cost millions of irreplaceable dollars.
An increase in force means a compounding of violence at this point.
Fill up your jails.
Is that the society you are crafting?
Now that does sound like your "Anglo American juris prudence".
What do you mean, "We do not do justice in the streets"?
When you do murder in the streets, by officials, you better look forward to "justice in the streets".
America was not founded in 1066.  That is Britain, with whom you fought a 'Cliven Bundy' war,
remember? America first declared a profit one year after African slaves arrived here; and
became a country only 238 years ago. Any countries in the world older than that sir?
This country is not promised to us if we let bad policy reign.
I think you'd better look lively about who you can still order around, and under what circumstances.
When you talk about hundreds of years of Anglo-American juris prudence, you talk about the
survivorship of racism.
If you like racism so much, you'd better be prepared to disguise the thing a bit better. Black men
have served in the War for Independence, the Civil War, WWI, and fought in WWII.
They've fought in Vietnam.
They've fought in the Gulf War, although General Schwarzkopf, and General Colin Powell will explain to you if you ask them, that you yourself couldn't have been be the one to lead them.
with your present state of mind.
Black men fought in the truly faulty Iraq War.
And even my dad could have explained to you why Truman felt he'd better desegregate the troops in WWII. But my dad wouldn't have told you. You don't deserve to know.
For the black men who fought on the front lines in Vietnam, do you think they didn't have sons and grandsons?
The Civil Rights era then lifted the black community off plantations in many cities.
Some of us live in what look to be suppressive conditions, but we don't have to put up with the
likes of you for more time than it takes to get to our polling places.
Curfews didn't work alone during the sixties; and they never will. In 'the struggle', even mayors and court injunctions didn't stop civil disobedience in the torturous deep south. What have you got? Better torture?
Human rights watchers know what we preach abroad has to be law here as well.
Ferguson is not going to force or srtongarm everyone who wants justice for Mike Brown Jr.
It will simply not ever work. If it could work, Gov. Nixon would have instituted it. Are you thinking
this tack you are taking can get you the governor's job?
Your rules and laws have absolutely nothing to do with how people will march, day and night,
whether you like it or not.
There is no peace in Ferguson except the peace the residents themselves are keeping.
The peace you have as a legend in your own mind is nothing more than as ailing rhetorical device.
People who think 12 of  78 protesters are a majority constituting anything in Ferguson need a new
math class in their lives. Of 78 people arrested Monday night, 12 lived outside Missouri. So about
16% may possibly live outside your state.
What you don't seem to realize, however, is that now, no place in the world is outside of Ferguson.
My niece is in the Mid East, and sees Ferguson, not only Israel, or only Palestine- but Ferguson on
the news every day.
Ferguson doesn't have justice in the streets, Mr.
Ferguson doesn't have justice at the police station.
Ferguson doesn't have justice in the prosecutor's office.
Ferguson doesn't have justice in the courts.
Ferguson, Mr. Sir, doesn't have justice.
