Some things You have to Live to Believe
Blacks know how bad it is. You can now see a glimpse of their truth. In the process of assisting a friend to prepare to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to gain freedom from a race driven conviction, a number of things were learned. But none could be as alarming as the final steps, which have now launched an entirely new war.
Back Story to this Story About Blacks and Injustice
My good friend happens to be Black. His two co-defendants happen to be White. For the same crime that the Whites were offered and sentenced to 4 years and 9 years, my friend was threatened with 134 years to life in prison. Then forced to accept a 42 year sentence just to have the possible hope of not dying in prison. For the same act that the prosecutor thought the Whites should receive 4 and 9 years.
Did he do wrong? Yes. Has he learned and corrected himself? Yes. Was it his fault that he would engage in this? You be the judge.
How to Destroy a Human Being
Scholar student, star athlete, genuine heart of gold, and a fine looking young man. At 15 he went to his parents for help because he knew the temptation of women and weed was taking him in the wrong direction. Instead of help, he was chastised.
A year later, temptation’s allure called him back, again he reached out for help. This time the Elders at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness, rather than explaining or helping, excommunicated him. That means he was banished from his own life and according to these Elders, from God’s grace.
Two White boys invited him to lunch. They pulled a dine-and-dash but my brother refused to leave. He explained to the owner what happened and offered to work off his meal. The owner called the cops and he was arrested for a dine-and-dash. Despite never dashing. If he was White, he would have been commended for his honor.
Enter the State to Finish the Job
Now homeless at 16, he was caught shoplifting basic hygiene supplies and sentenced to 30 days juvenile hall. He would not be released until a month after his 18th birthday.
During that time a young White-Supremest, follower of Adolph Hitler, neo-Nazi, was housed in the same block. As soon as he saw a Black youth was present, he started screaming, “I’m gonna hang you, you fuckin’ nigger.” Over and over. The guards needing some entertainment released them into the yard together. When the mini-KKK member approached after repeated death threats, my brother laid his racist ass out with one punch, breaking his jaw. And immediately laid down on the ground to submit to the guards without being ordered to.
Four days later, he was taken to court, and despite being the victim of a crime that would have made the mini-Goering eligible for the death penalty, the prosecutors decided to charge him with a felony, even though they could have charged the same Penal Code section as a misdemeanor. Mind you, there was no lawful basis for him to have been in custody at that time. “False imprisonment is the unlawful violation of the personal liberty of another.” Penal Code Section 236
Thus while he was the victim of the state’s felony on him, the state called him the felon. Yet despite being sentenced to 30 days, after that time the state continued to hold him in prison, falsely.
With Friends Like California, Blacks don't Need Enemies.
Tell someone they are no good long enough, and they just might believe you.
The law showed him that it has no intention of being applied. No one likes to play with a cheater. So he stopped playing.
Since that time, now being wiser and more mature, he has come to learn a few truths.
- No one can dictate his relationship to God. That is between He and him.
- No one has the right to take from another, even if society pushes one to a lawless life.
- We are responsible for ourselves.
- Love is the only answer. If love cannot be found to solve the problem, then look harder for it.
My brother is a good man. Someone worth fighting for. That he happened to befriend a legal warrior was simply His good work manifesting.
The Requirements of Penal Code Section 745 Appeared to be a Set Up for Blacks
If you have ever looked into what is required to establish a race driven sentence, you know its a rigged game.
Dangle a chance for vindication and recognition of wrongs, only to be met with an absurd task. The section starts out decent enough:
Sec. 745 (a) The state shall not seek or obtain a criminal conviction or seek, obtain, or impose a sentence on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin. A violation is established if the defendant proves, by a preponderance of the evidence, any of the following:
(1) The judge, an attorney in the case, a law enforcement officer involved in the case, an expert witness, or juror exhibited bias or animus towards the defendant because of the defendant’s race, ethnicity, or national origin.
Question: If the entire system is racist, how do they know what it looks like? Does a fish know it is wet?
No one has seemed to notice anything wrong with Whites getting 4 & 9 years and the Black one getting 42 years.
The fact that it has to be explained to a judge that this treatment of Blacks is wrong, is a major clue that there is something really wrong here.
The Mark Fuhrman Instance
Clearly we know this happens. Again, the fact that this has to be even explained to a court is problematic. The second ground for relief is:
(2) During the defendant’s trial, in court and during the proceedings, the judge, an attorney in the case, a law enforcement officer involved in the case, an expert witness, or juror, used racially discriminatory language about the defendant’s race, ethnicity, or national origin, or otherwise exhibited bias or animus towards the defendant because of the defendant’s race, ethnicity, or national origin, whether or not purposeful. This paragraph does not apply if the person speaking is relating language used by another that is relevant to the case or if the person speaking is giving a racially neutral and unbiased physical description of the suspect.
Calling the defendant a thug isn’t racist. What do you mean that is wrong? Prosecutors actually have to be told that using rap lyrics to demonize Blacks generally is wrong. Some appellate courts do not see a problem though. See “the prosecutor ‘introduced and used racially incendiary or coded language-repeated use of the n-word, slang associated with the Black community, rap videos and lyrics-. . . thus dehumanizing the defendants by evoking prejudicial stereotypes of Black men.’ (§ 745, subd. (a)(2).)” (People v. Stewart (Sep. 5, 2024, E078408) Unpublished pp. 94) Under the heading “K. Defendants Have Not Demonstrated a Racial Justice Act Violation”
Moving into the Implausible Aspects for Blacks to gain Justice and the Basis of this Story Unfolds
(3) The defendant was charged or convicted of a more serious offense than defendants of other races, ethnicities, or national origins who have engaged in similar conduct and are similarly situated, and the evidence establishes that the prosecution more frequently sought or obtained convictions for more serious offenses against people who share the defendant’s race, ethnicity, or national origin in the county where the convictions were sought or obtained.
(4) (A) A longer or more severe sentence was imposed on the defendant than was imposed on other similarly situated individuals convicted of the same offense, and longer or more severe sentences were more frequently imposed for that offense on people that share the defendant’s race, ethnicity, or national origin than on defendants of other races, ethnicities, or national origins in the county where the sentence was imposed.
(B) A longer or more severe sentence was imposed on the defendant than was imposed on other similarly situated individuals convicted of the same offense, and longer or more severe sentences were more frequently imposed for the same offense on defendants in cases with victims of one race, ethnicity, or national origin than in cases with victims of other races, ethnicities, or national origins, in the county where the sentence was imposed.
In this case in particular, the stark contrast is present by the 42 years versus 9 years for the same conduct. But then they added in more frequently and the same county and had to prove not only charges, but compare them two similarly situated Blacks and Whites.
The Results are in, California is Violating the Thirteenth Amendment Against Blacks
It was some what alarming to learn that all of these great civil rights law firms had not been able to explain the disparity of treatment. When looking all over the internet for some study that was able to actually show the harm to the Black race, none could be found.
There were articles trying in vain to show treatment was unequal. Yet all were so transparent in their efforts to skew the results, that it discredited their approaches. So none could be relied on.
One thing was also certain, the Department of Justice website “Open Justice” was of minimal help. That information had been around for a while, but that data is not what the Legislature demanded. Give one thing freely, ask for something else entirely different. False hope.
In school, we all heard our math teachers tell us, “someday you are going to need algebra.” Little did they know, that it was the key to proving slavery is alive and well in California.
Using the common denominator method of comparing imperfect numbers appeared logical. And quite simply is the only way one could compare a population of 30,583,038 Whites to 2,237,044 Blacks. To do that we have to make the populations equal to have a common denominator to work with.
To being the Black population up we need to find a multiplier.
Whites 30,583,038 / Blacks 2,237,044 = 13.67 as the population multiplier.
Here is what we learn: For the 56,659 Whites in prison right now,
there would have to be 485,764 Blacks in prison. Compare actual 35,532.
This and a great deal more data is broken down in similar fashion in other articles about Penal Code sec. 745, and explaining why Hispanics are Mostly in the White Race, also showning how the DOJ educates law enforcement. That the Department of Justice separates Hispanics from Whites is only further demonstrative of systemic racism and ignorance.
The Supreme Court's Interpretation of this Data in Relation to Blacks
“The long existence of African slavery in this country gave us very distinct notions of what it was, and what were its necessary incidents. … Severer punishments for crimes were imposed on the slave than on free persons guilty of the same offences.” Violating “the essential distinction between freedom and slavery.” (Civil Rights Cases, (1883) 109 U.S. 3, 22)
“Racial Composition of Strikers. … African Americans make up 45 percent of the third striker population, which is 15 percent higher than in the total prison population.” A Primer: Three Strikes – The Impact After More Than a Decade, Legislative Analysists Office (Oct. 2005) The numbers appear to have only increased during the previous decade.
Blacks are 5.5% of the state population. Therefore, California must cease its over three-decade violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1981. Because “slavery… shall [not] exist within the United States,” (U.S. Const. amend. XIII) “the Civil War Amendments were unquestionably designed to condemn and forbid every distinction, however trifling, on account of race.” (Oregon v. Mitchell (1970) 400 U.S. 112, 127) By “preventing State Legislatures from enslaving, under any pretense, those whom the first clause declared should be free.” (Jones v. Mayer Co. (1968) 392 U.S. 409, 431, fn. 48)
Enter the California Department of Injustice
After putting the above together, by luck I stumbled onto Penal Code sections 11103 “The Attorney General shall keep on file in the office of the bureau a record consisting of duplicates of all measurements, processes, operations, signaletic cards, measurements, and descriptions of all persons confined in penal institutions of the state as far as possible, in accordance with whatever system or systems may be commonly used in the state.” And 11104 “The Attorney General shall file all measurements, information and descriptions received and shall make a complete and systematic record and index, providing a method of convenience, consultation, and comparison.”
Not wasting a single moment the following Public Records Request was drafted and submitted electronically to the Attorney General. As stated on the website:
ACCESSING DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) RECORDS
- Identifying records: To help us provide records promptly, please provide specific information about the records you seek including the record name, subject matter, and location within the office if known.
- Time Deadlines: The DOJ has 10 days to determine if it will disclose the requested records. A limited 14-day extension may apply. If records cannot be provided within these deadlines, we will provide an estimated delivery date, and the records will be disclosed in a reasonable period of time.
The Public Records Request Designed to Free Blacks
November 4, 2024:
Record Description
I do not know the name of the desired records only the statutes that declare they exist. The description for the information requested is set out in a letter that is available via:
https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:981adb68-dd78-46d4-bee4-d27d2cddc3c1
Thank you.
Please read the above Records Request. In summary it says: I want it all. Every prison broken down by race population since 1983 when the above statutes were enacted. Starting in 1993 I want all stats of all races for 2nd and 3rd strikers. And because the DOJ already catalogs every crime by race and by county, I wanted that too. Going all the way up to today.
All of that information demanded by the legislature and not on the DOJ website, was in their possession for decades.
The DOJ Response When Not Knowing this was for the Benefit of Blacks
Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 1:24 PM
Good Afternoon,
Please find our extension to your PRA request submitted to the Attorney General’s office on November 4, 2024, attached.
The letter then quoted the above demand in the PDF in full. Followed by:
“For the reasons set forth below, this office is extending the date for responding to your request to December 2, 2024.
“Agencies are permitted to extend the date for responding to a public records request for 14 days beyond the original 10-day deadline for responding under specified circumstances (Gov. Code, § 7922.535). As your request was received by this office on November 4, 2024, the time established for the original response is November 14, 2024. Fourteen days beyond this date is December 2, 2024.
“Agencies may invoke the extension for several reasons, which may be summarized as follows:
The need to search for and collect records from field offices or other facilities that are separate from the office processing the request.
The need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records which are demanded in a single request.
The need for consultation, which shall be conducted with all practicable speed, with another agency having a substantial interest in the determination of the request or among two or more components of the agency having substantial subject matter interest therein.
The need to compile data, to write programming language or a computer program, or to construct a computer report to extract data.
“In this instance, an extension is needed to consult with multiple components of the Department with substantial interest in the records requested.
The Reply to Those with a Substantial Interest, on Behalf of Blacks with a Greater Substantial Interest
Ecstatic that the DOJ was listening, did not invoke any issues of NOT having it, NOT an issue with compiling it, NOT an issue of readily available, but merely consulting with one another. The demand had given them some leeway to omit the Asian population from the prison populations for security’s sake, so my thoughts were they were concerned with that too.
That same evening a letter was sent that broke down the above results. Showing the serious racial injustice occurring and providing the U.S. Supreme Court cases that prove this is slavery occurring.
November never took so long. I was so excited to get the results all 31,000 slaves needed to obtain freedom.
The letter ended with:
It is hoped that when consulting “with multiple components of the Department with substantial interest in the records requested”, they consider the gravity and weight of 31,000 slaves that have a substantial federal interest in being subject to like punishment, and to no other. 42 U.S.C. § 1981(a)
Mr. Justice Douglas made an immensely profound point:
“The true curse of slavery is not what it did to the black man, but what it has done to the white man. For the existence of the institution produced the notion that the white man was of superior character, intelligence, and morality.” (Jones v. Mayer Co. (1968) 392 U.S. 409, 445, Douglas, J., concurring.)
The purpose of this request is to end the incidents of slavery that are in effect in California by imprisoning Blacks at a grossly disproportionate rate.
“Severer punishments for crimes were imposed on the slave than on free persons guilty of the same offences.”
483,285 Blacks in prison vs. 56,659 Whites in prison right now Yet if the rate of White incarceration was applied to the Blacks, then the 35,532 Blacks in prison should be 4,161.
A December to Remember
Tue, Dec 10, 2024 at 11:33 AM
I am following up on our previous correspondence regarding the Department’s invocation of the 14-day extension to respond to my public records request, which extended the deadline to December 2, 2024. In my last letter, I expressed understanding for the extension given the volume of information and the complexity of the issues involved. I also provided detailed good cause supporting the urgency of the request and emphasized the importance of considering the substantial interest in the matter when evaluating the data.
The data included in my reply highlights a serious situation with significant constitutional implications. I had hoped the Department would be thoroughly assessing the matter in light of its obligations under the Office of the Attorney General. When no response was received on December 2, I refrained from following up immediately, understanding the demands on your office and the potential disruptions of the holiday season.
However, as more than a week has now passed, I wanted to ensure the matter has not been inadvertently overlooked amidst competing priorities.
Could you please provide an update on the status of my request, including the Department’s intentions regarding compliance and an anticipated timeline for response?
Also, I am including a bar graph generated to help with a visual understanding of the alarming results of the data previously provided.
If at first you do not succeed
Mon, Jan 6, 2025 at 11:20 AM
The Department is now over a month past the legally permitted deadline, requiring yet another follow-up inquiry as to my public records request of November 4, 2024. To which the Department initially extended to December 2, 2024, under the Department’s invocation of the 14-day extension on November 14, 2024. Despite my previous correspondence on December 10, 2024, and the significant gravity of the issues at hand, I have received neither the requested records, nor any substantive response, not even a courtesy reply to my inquiry re status.
As you are aware, the information requested pertains to systemic racism and seeks to address deeply rooted constitutional concerns. The gravity of these issues underscores the critical importance of timely compliance. I understand the demands on your office and the potential disruptions caused by the holiday season, but the continued lack of communication is concerning as it is placing the Department in a questionable light.
I kindly ask for a clear update on the status of my request, the Department’s intentions and an anticipated timeline regarding compliance, please respond no later than January 7, 2025, by 5:00PM. A lack of response risks severely undermining public confidence in the transparency, accountability, and impartiality that the Office of the Attorney General represents. Followed by the remedy for this ministerial task, assuming this would now be the fourth time the Department has failed to comply.
It is hoped that eventuality will not be necessary as I trust this matter will now receive the attention it deserves and look forward to your prompt reply.
Five Days Earlier Blacks were Apologized to
(Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 624, Sec. 1. (AB 3089) Effective January 1, 2025.)
Government Code Section 8301.1
(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) In 2020, the people of California established the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, with a Special Consideration for African Americans Who are Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States (Task Force) and required the Task Force to address, among other things, how the State of California will offer a formal apology on behalf of the people of California for the perpetration of gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity on African slaves and their descendants, and how California laws and policies that continue to disproportionately and negatively affect African Americans as a group and perpetuate the lingering material and psychosocial effects of slavery can be eliminated.
(2) Based on the Task Force’s evidentiary findings and recommendations outlined in the report to the Legislature as required by the statute, the people of the State of California hereby acknowledge being a beneficiary of the forced enslavement of African slaves brought to California and the subordination of Black Californians that continued following the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
(3) Well after California entered the Union and declared itself a free state outlawing slavery, more than 2,000 enslaved African people were brought to California from 1850 to 1860.
(4) The California Supreme Court enforced fugitive slave laws until 1865, stating that the antislavery law in the California Constitution was merely a “declaration of a principle.”
(5) Throughout the state’s history, California’s executive, judicial, and legislative branches continuously denied African slaves and their descendants basic humanity and fundamental liberties.
…
(b) According to the United Nations Principles on Reparation, an apology, when combined with material forms of reparations, provides an opportunity for communal reckoning with the past and repair for moral, physical, and dignitary harms.
ARTICLE 2. Recognition and Acceptance of Responsibility for Harms and Atrocities Committed: Formal Apology
Gov. Code sec. 8301.2.
(a) The State of California recognizes and accepts responsibility for all of the harms and atrocities committed by the state, its representatives thereof, and entities under its jurisdiction who promoted, facilitated, enforced, and permitted the institution of chattel slavery and the enduring legacy of ongoing badges and incidents from which the systemic structures of discrimination have come to exist.
(b) The State of California apologizes for perpetuating the harms African Americans faced by having imbued racial prejudice through segregation, public and private discrimination, and unequal disbursal of state and federal funding and declares that such actions shall not be repeated. The State of California acknowledges the work of the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, with a Special Consideration for African Americans Who are Descendants of Persons Enslaved in the United States. This task force, established by Assembly Bill 3121 (2020), detailed the harms faced by African Americans in California and provided numerous legislative recommendations, including this formal apology. The State of California affirms its role in protecting the descendants of enslaved people and all Black Californians as well as their civil, political, and sociocultural rights. The State of California humbly asks for forgiveness from those affected by past atrocities, both deliberately and negligently, and acknowledges and affirms its responsibility to end ongoing harm. The State of California commits to restore and repair affected peoples with actions beyond this apology.
(Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 624, Sec. 1. (AB 3089) Effective January 1, 2025.)
If you are curious about the Task Force that prepared these findings, just read the extensive report.
The DOJ would be more than happy to tell you their unbiased recounting of history. It was only an accident that they left our major holdings of cases or forgot to discuss key decisions. Its not like its their job to read case law or something.
(It’s totally their job.)
The Laws do not Permit Non-Disclosure of these Records
There is always a devil’s advocate out there thinking… but they probably, or it could be… Nope not this time.
The purpose of this request is to end the incidents of slavery that are in effect in California by imprisoning Blacks at a grossly disproportionate rate.
Gov. Code, § 7921.300 (“This division does not allow limitations on access to a public record based upon the purpose for which the record is being requested, if the record is otherwise subject to disclosure.”) Gov. Code, § 7922.500 (“Nothing in this division shall be construed to permit an agency to delay or obstruct the inspection or copying of public records.”)
Information exempted from disclosure would include, “State summary criminal history information, confidentiality of information, Sections 11105, 11105.1, 11105.3, and 11105.4, Penal Code.” (Gov. Code, § 7930.200)
To be sure, the request commenced with: “This is NOT a request for information as defined in Penal Code § 11105(a)(2)(A)” and ended with a statement that no personal identifying information was to be included except for race and gender.
The sections cited are not exempt, 11103 & 11104.
Gov. Code § 7922.540 (a) “A response to a written request for inspection or copies of public records that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole or in part, shall be in writing.
(b) The notification of denial shall set forth the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial.
(c) An agency shall justify withholding any record by complying with Section 7922.000.”
Gov. Code, § 7922.000 (“An agency shall justify withholding any record by demonstrating that the record in question is exempt under express provisions of this division, or that on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.”)
The public interest here is so immense, that we once engaged in a devasting civil conflict. See American Civil War 1861-1865. See also Reconstruction Era, 1866-1877 and Civil War amendments XIII, XIV, XV and the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
42 U.S.C. § 1981(a) (“Statement of equal rights All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State… as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties… of every kind, and to no other.”)
The Department of Justice is Violating more than One Federal or State Statute
18 U.S.C. § 242 (“Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both”)
Is this a right?
Gov. Code § 7921.000 “In enacting this division, the Legislature, mindful of the right of individuals to privacy, finds and declares that access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business is a fundamental and necessary right of every person in this state.”
Cal. Const. art. I, § 3 (b) (1) “The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business, and, therefore, the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies shall be open to public scrutiny.”
Gov. Code, § 6200 (“Every officer having the custody of any record, map, or book, or of any paper or proceeding of any court, filed or deposited in any public office, or placed in his or her hands for any purpose, is punishable by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code for two, three, or four years if, as to the whole or any part of the record, map, book, paper, or proceeding, the officer willfully does or permits any other person to do any of the following: (a) Steal, remove, or secrete. (b) Destroy, mutilate, or deface. (c) Alter or falsify.”)
If not an official, then can be either a misdemeanor or felony Gov. Code, § 6201, above is a straight felony.
Criminal Laws are Being Violated as well as Criminal Procedure
We now hold that the suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution.
Brady v. Maryland, (1963) 373 U.S. 83, 87
The provisions of Pen. Code § 745 require comparing data that is not available anywhere. The data that the Attorney General publishes on its website is not the same data that is required under Pen. Code § 745. As it turned out, the Attorney General has been in possession of this data the entire time. And when the request was made to provide that data, after stating the Department would comply yet shown the gross systemic racism occurring against Blacks, the Department ceased all communications.
“We conclude that the Attorney General has both a constitutional and an ethical duty to disclose evidence in response to a petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging a Brady violation” (In re Jenkins (2023) 14 Cal.5th 493, 498.) “Nor does the Attorney General cite any case from this court, or any other, holding that the government, in postconviction proceedings, lacks a duty to disclose Brady material that was available to the government at the time of trial.” (Id., at 509)
Conclusion... but shall be continued.
This story is far from over. Because every imaginable statistic, racial and gender descriptor, and event from arrest all the way through every possible result is tracked and cataloged for ease of access and comparison is in the possession of the Department of Justice. See Pen. Code §§ 11103, 11104, 13010, 13020, 13011, 13012, 13100, 13101, 13102, 13103, 13104, 13200, 13305(a), and 13370.
The substantial alarm stems from the response when the following information was provided to assist “multiple components of the Department” on November 14, 2024, as the Department completely refused to comply, justify reasons for non-compliance, name the Department heads responsible or even respond to the follow-up requests sent December 10, 2024, and January 6, 2025.
This was not the decision of some rogue employee. Multiple Department heads were involved in making the substantial decision to knowingly commit crimes and permit the ongoing enslavement in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment.
At the same time that our State says soorrrryyyyy.
Pen. Code Sec. 745(h)(1) “In evaluating the totality of the evidence, the court shall consider whether systemic and institutional racial bias, racial profiling, and historical patterns of racially biased policing and prosecution may have contributed to, or caused differences observed in, the data or impacted the availability of data overall. “
Our Next Moves
You can get involved too. Get this message out. Everyone needs to know. Spam it, share it, mail it, send it to friends, family, even your enemies. Look up the local and state and federal representatives and send them a copy. The more uproar and attention the stronger our voice becomes.
In fact, after writing this I realized how everyone can be a part of ending slavery and forcing the Attorney General to set 31,000 slaves free. YOU SEND IN THE SAME PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST! If they get dozens it will blow them away. If they get hundreds or even thousands they will have no choice but to comply. You can submit the same form using the same link above and put that link in your request to the DOJ here.
Our next move is a court action, filing a petition for mandamus to have a court order them to comply. The state figured it would hope for a lucky break before a judge. Take the chance rather than giving freedom away for free.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned… Everywhere is war.”
— Bob Marley, quoting Emperor Haile Selassie’s 1963 speech to the United Nations.
It is sincerely hoped that you will join our fight for our people. For we are only one race, the human race.
