Update on Young Leaders’ July ‘06 Police Protest

November 14, 2006
By

As a follower of The Way and social justice activist; I’ve become accustomed to not seeing the ultimate fruit of my labor in any immediate period of time.  But over the weekend, I received the rare treat of seeing some tangible progress on an issue that I joined with others to bring attention to.

Back in July, young leaders from across Baltimore organized themselves to protest the alleged sexual assault of a 16 year old girl by a 40 year old police officer.  You can read my first post about this issue here.

I joined in the protest and wrote a letter to the The Afro which they printed in their Letters to the Editor section. The story goes that city council president, Sheila Dixon, read my note and was inspired to submit a council resolution that requires our Police Commissioner to present information to the council about the departments policy on audio/video recording of custodial interrogations. 

The resolution is scheduled for a hearing next week and I am preparing testimony on its behalf. 

I’ll keep you posted.

    Thanks for the something totally new you have revealed in your post. One thing I’d prefer to reply to is that FSBO interactions are built after a while. By launching yourself to owners the first weekend break their FSBO is actually announced, before the masses start calling on Monday, you make a good interconnection. By sending them methods, educational supplies, free reviews, and forms, you become a great ally. By taking a personal curiosity about them as well as their circumstance, you generate a solid link that, on most occasions, pays off as soon as the owners opt with a real estate agent they know in addition to trust – preferably you.
