Dear Americans,
I would like to propose a "NATIONAL STRIKE DAY" for every American that is able. I have heard France has been doing this with great success. Please let us get everyone engaged here and anywhere we can post this message or one of your own.
The Questions I would ask here are as follows: What day should it be and when and how often? Once a month to start or? I believe this would really give the people back their power in this country. It is time to take action! If we do not take some action now as our Declaration of Independence says we have the right and obligation to, it looks like our country will fall.
People are losing their homes by the millions, and jobs of course with it, and our government with the media's help are trying to hide it from us. They are going to let us just fall, we have to save ourselves, to many good people's lives are being ruined.
This is the responsibility of a free people. Be sure the world bankers have a diabolical plan for us and unless we truly want to be slaves, we have to do something. I am open to other ideas, or maybe someone is already doing this (I heard something). I plead with each American here on Twitter to get involved and support this idea, and everywhere else we can get this message out.
This will be a peaceful way to get our government's attention, while we take back our country. Trust me if George Washington and the many honorable men and women who fought our war of Independence were here today, they would have already taken action years ago, many years ago, and I doubt it would be very peaceful.
Thus, no one works until our demands are met. Start with say five or ten demands. So my idea, proposal is that Americans just go to the street, your city hall, or what is ever appropriate in your state. No one works until our demands are met. But absolutely No violence, no vandalism, no matter what please. That will destroy our honest political cause afforded us by our constitution. In fact, we should make, in my opinion that it is a very somber and quite sit in, almost complete silence until our demands are met, so they cannot try and intimidate people or arrest them unlawfully as they have been doing. I believe this is very important point, no conflict what so ever, just freeze everything. We are all allowed to stay home from work. We need to get employers involved obviously.
My list of demands start as follows:
1.) No more bail outs, but instead money is to be given directly to the American people.
I heard some experts are saying that this is the only real cure, some 450,000.00 to each American is the answer to our financial crisis. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?=263212.) Abolish the IRS, period!
3.) Reinstate our fourth Amendment rights.
4.)
5.)
I hope others will give their suggestions. I would recommend we elect a board and thus work to organize our first AMERICAN NATIONAL STRIKE DAY, or if someone has already started this, please if anyone is aware of this let me know.

Likewise incredulous, I wish you had to spend 1 year as a police officer walking up to a possibly armed felon that has the absolute right to get the armed drop on you b/c of PC police tactics and attempts not to offend a criminal. I wish that you had to walk 1 year in the shoes of a slain police officers family. I wish that you had to suffer at the hands of a criminal who made an officer pay the ultimate sacrifice in his efforts to protect and serve while not offending ANYONE.

Liberal_Extinction--you hawk your ignorance like a peddler on the street...I only wish people like you could be forced to spend at least one year of their lives in the skin of a black man in an inner city...would be the best education you ever got, and clearly, whatever education you have obtained has been jaded and morose.

Those police officers are duty bound to protect the general public, if Sean Bell was willing to hit a police officer, police cruiser, and anything else around chances are good for him to hit a pedestrian as well. If the man is in a car there are very few places he can be hit and stopped completely. Most police officers carry glocks which are capable of holding 18 rounds. 3 cops, 18 rounds each = 54 rounds. Appears to me there was enough restraint to save at least 3 bullets incase he tried to hurt anyone else. Stop blaming law enforcement for irresponsible, dangerous, & destructive behavior by a possible criminal. Had he simply stopped, talked with the police, and remain compliant long enough for them to determine if he was/ wasn't part of the problem I don't think we'd be having this discussion right now. Every action by the police is examined under a media microscope, what moron would want to bring that kind of scrutiny on himself without there being good reason to use lethal force? Why is it so many people run if they truly are innocent? Once again, human interaction will always lend to mistakes being made from time to time, but if I truly were innocent and the police wanted to discuss a situation with me I'd stay put and make darn sure I showed no sign of aggression towards them, their lives are on the line each and every day. Who is the advocate for all the officers who casually walk up to a car pulled over for a traffic violation with only a flashlight in their hand instead of weapon just to meet the barrel of a criminals hidden hand cannon pointing out the window of a car? Who is willing to be the advocate for a slain officers family b/c he tried to take in a criminal peacefully instead of using force?
As for everyone hammering Sharpton, he's earned it. It's hard out thura fo' a (race) pimp!

I haven't watched the video yet but our whole system is outrageous including our criminal system.
It seems to me that poison is spreading mostly from the top down....same as in the military.I'll watch it and comment later. Thanks for posting....
Liberal Extinction,,I suggest you sign yourself and your loved ones for the Iraq War and fight that noble cause since you think it is such a good idea..I noticed on other posts. When we are attacked initially I was ready to sign myself up if needed because I was mislead that it would help. Now if my children wanted to sign up for the war it would be over my dead body. This war is really an illegal occupation of a country. If you STILL believe otherwise you are very gullible and are not paying attention. Sorry.

What really bothers me about this is that the people arrested will be charged with "disorderly conduct", so long as they were peaceful. Doesn't the first amendment guarantee everyone the right to protest, so long as they are peaceful?

I will try to be sensitive in my response, as I know this is a touchy issue. Firstly, I do not intend to propose that people are over reacting, I merely inferred that they are REACTING without THINKING. Secondly, cops are trained to keep firing until they take their potentially harmful target out. Thirdly, maybe they had runflat tires. I'm not trying to justify that its okay for white people to go out and shoot black people, nor am I trying to be blind and say that the history between white cops and black men is scoff free.
I however do not think its fair to glorify a man whom we have little information about. Nor is it fair to make snap judgements about a scene that no one but the cops and the victim was there to see.
I guess the main reason why I'm frustrated is that Al Sharpton in doing his protests is propogating the idea that the cop shot him because he was black. This idea fuels the notion for black people to be leary of white people, which then has the consequence of white people being leary of black people.
In closing, if we are to criticize the cops for what they did, criticize the cops themselves for what they did, and don't project the idea that all white cops are bad. That is simply not fair!

If the police really thought Sean was trying to escape...what's wrong with shooting out his tires...in my opinion, these cops are guilty as hell, and they have to live with their own conscience.
Too many cops need to get off of what ever they are jacked up on and remember "to serve and protect"...if they can't discern armed from unarmed they need to get the hell back in training, because shoot first and figure it out later only protects the cop with the gun, no one else.
I am disgusted by the behavior of these cops and the ones in the Philadelphia video as well. If they can't get it together and live by the moral code they swore to when they took this job, then they need to quit and go drive a bus.

Check this out. A black cop killed a latino. Let's hold a riot.
"But a black cop shooting an unarmed black or Latino under highly questionable circumstances is no longer an oddity. In the past two years, black cops have gunned down unarmed blacks in Chicago, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Baltimore, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Gary, Indiana, Inglewood, California and Los Angeles."
"Many black officers have those same prejudices as whites. They do not live in or grow up in impoverished black (neighborhoods) and see them as hostile and alien places. Many of them are just as jittery as white cops at the prospect of an armed encounter with other blacks."

It is a little disheartening that white people are constantly being trashed and belittled by minorities. Its easy to trash the cops being evil due to their white skin and Sean Bell being the typical black-man scape goat victim of society, but the real issue is, not enough people know exactly what was going on when the incident occured. The police men, regardless of being "white" may have had strong reason to believe Mr. Bell did have a gun. According to an article in the New York times,
"The officers said they believed the younger Mr. Bell and his friends were going to retrieve a gun and shoot at another group at the club.
When Mr. Bell seemed to try to flee or ram the officers with his car, the police said, the officers opened fire, killing him and wounding the two friends in a barrage of 50 bullets. The officers said they believed they were being fired upon, but no gun was found in the car."
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/26/sean-bells-father-recalls-fatal-nig...
Mr. Bell, if these statements are true, should not have been ramming the cops in the first place if he was so innocently killed by the cops. Secondly, maybe Mr. Bell did have intentions of harming the other group in the bar. Maybe Mr. Bell was a real scuz bucket for all we know.
I believe that too many people are reacting to the incident and not really thinking about the incident in a proactive manner.
