Re: Use of Force against Nathaniel Jones \/ Commendations

Dear Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr.,

I am responding to the use of force incident, which was used against Mr. Nathaniel Jones.

My heartfelt sympathy and gratitude goes to yourself, and all the wonderful men and women who work under your sound command.

After reviewing portions of both videotapes, hearing statements and having knowledge of other evidence, I want to give you our appreciation for your fine police agency.

I understand that you are under great pressure to resign, ‘because of your integrity.’ Where is the public’s outcry against Nathaniel Jones for using racial slurs against your officers? Where is the outcry against his illegal and excessive drug use? Being under the influence of Cocaine, Phencyclidine (PCP) and Methanol (an ingredient for an embalming fluid,) better explains the inhuman strengths and dangers those fine officers were faced against.

Nathaniel Jones' family is asking for an “independent investigation.” My investigation concludes that your officers used only a reasonable amount of force necessary to protect themselves and others and to affect an arrest. Had the officers not done what Nathaniel forced them to do, they would have been derelict of their duties.

I offer our commendations to the following:

· I commend you Colonel Thomas H. Streicher, Jr. for your integrity and strong leadership. I commend you for not giving in to the racial propagandists who desire to divide the city even more.

· I commend all officers who were personally involved in the altercation. I commend them for their ‘attention to duty.’ I commend them for their perseverance. I commend them for the protection of their community they so well serve. I commend them for upholding the Constitution of the United States of America.

Please extend this to the officers involved.

Jesse Person is a man of courage. \r\nWhite Fear \r\n-------------\r\nExclusive Commentary by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson\r\nPresident\r\nBOND\r\n\r\nFeb 12, 2002\r\n \r\nFor the last twelve years, we at the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny have been fighting against the demoralization of blacks in this country by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, the Black Caucus, the liberal elite Democratic Party, and others. But we must realize that this is not the only form of demoralization at work. While demoralizing blacks, these racist demagogues have also succeeded in demoralizing whites.\r\n\r\nOne word\u2014\u201cracist\u201d\u2014has been elevated to a sacred status, to the point now where even the threat of being labeled \u201cracist\u201d causes whites to cower to the wishes of blacks. The fact is that the civil rights \u201cleaders\u201d and elite liberal Democrats are at fault for the poor condition of the black community, not white racism. But, having largely given in to their lies, the white culture is suffering not only because blacks are free to be immoral without complaint, but also because many whites now lack character as a result of giving in to this fear. \r\n\r\nIf this lack of character continues to go unchecked, the white culture is doomed to the same pitiful state that we now find in the largely immoral black community. If no one speaks up about this, then all will suffer. Blacks will continue to fall at an even faster rate because whites will be too weak not to give in to reparations for slavery, expansion of affirmative action, and the ongoing bombardment of other governmental programs. For the sake of all cultures, we must begin to bring about a change.\r\n\r\nIn order to change, we must first realize how we came to the problem we find ourselves in today. The civil rights \u201cleaders\u201d of today and the elite liberal Democratic Party all understand one thing very well: the power of fear. For the last forty years, these demagogues have implanted fear in the white community\u2014fear of being branded \u201cracist.\u201d As this fear escalated in the beginning of this movement, whites of the time became afraid and refused to speak against the civil rights movement as it veered from it\u2019s original just intent to a self-serving and racist agenda shortly after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This fear spread, allowing the legitimate black leadership to lose control, which caused the black community to become increasingly immoral. And most whites have kept silent. And thus blind blacks, following blind leaders, suffered.\r\n\r\nNow enter today. The black community is worse off than they have ever been in the history of the United States. Ninety-two percent of blacks supported Bill Clinton, knowing he committed adultery, lied to the American people, and lied under oath. Seventy percent of black babies are born out of wedlock! There was a time when blacks would have been ashamed of these numbers. But now they don\u2019t care. As long as the welfare check is there, the \u201cdiversity\u201d programs are in play, and no one is speaking against them, all is well. And let me tell you, very few are speaking against them.\r\n\r\nThe sins of the parents are passed down through the generations, and as a result of whites of the past not standing up, that same weakness and lack of character has been passed to whites of the new generation. The idea of being called \u201cracist\u201d is as horrific as ever, and whites of the new generation have been demoralized by their parent\u2019s lack of character and the out-of-control modern civil rights movement. \r\n\r\nNow we have this whole nonsense of \u201cmulticulturalism\u201d at work on college campuses. \u201cCelebrate diversity!\u201d is the chant, no matter how many babies these \u201cdiverse\u201d individuals have out of wedlock, no matter how immoral they are, no matter what perverse causes they stand for. Now homosexuals are simply another group that needs to be celebrated. Now sexual perversion and amorality of all kinds are labeled \u201cdiverse\u201d and equal to all other choices of behavior. \r\n\r\nI\u2019m often asked to speak on college campuses where white kids are afraid to stand up to immoral blacks for fear of being labeled a bigot, and are afraid to express their Christianity for fear of being labeled a \u201chomophobe.\u201d As a result of this fear, college graduates go into the world demoralized and disillusioned, depressed and beaten down. Their hearts are filled with fear and helplessness, perpetrated on them by the \u201ccelebrate diversity\u201d crowd. And unless this changes, this will pass on to the next generation, and the next\u2026and we will all suffer. These days most whites believe that being labeled a racist is the worst form of suffering. The dark days lurking ahead will make that suffering look like nothing. But it does not\u2014and I repeat, does not!\u2014have to be this way.\r\n\r\nWe at BOND realize the suffering that our nation is going through is a warfare. What we all have to realize though is that this is a spiritual warfare, not a racial warfare. It is not a fight of blacks versus whites, as the civil rights movement will tell you, but of good versus evil. The evil civil rights movement attacks good Americans who speak out against what they are doing. But the civil rights movement has no real power. All they can do is create fear through name-calling. And, amazingly, most whites have given in to this. They have adopted a false guilt for the ills of the black community.\r\n\r\nNo, the civil rights \u201cleaders\u201d and elite liberal Democratic Party are truly to blame, holding blacks down by keeping them angry at white America and dependent on the government. God, family, country, morality, and discipline used to be paramount in black culture, which is why blacks such as Booker T. Washington flourished long ago even though laws were against blacks. Now diversity, multiculturalism, and governmental programs are paramount, and look where blacks are because of it. We now have a society where blacks can say and do anything they want about and to whites, but whites can\u2019t even speak up and disagree with blacks. \r\n\r\nAs soon as we realize that we are fighting a spiritual warfare, we can overcome. At BOND, we have been fighting for years. We recently held our Third Annual \u201cNational Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson\u201d on Dr. King\u2019s birthday to show the contrast between Dr. King\u2019s dream that blacks be judged on the content of their character and Jackson\u2019s nightmare that blacks be judged on their color. We have a BOND Home for Boys that works to restore self-sufficiency and independence that is lost in today\u2019s anti-family black culture. We have an After School Character Building program to teach kids to love what is right and love this country.\r\n\r\nHaving stood for what is right has put as at odds with the civil rights establishment and the elite, liberal Democratic Party. We have endured all sorts of name-calling and intimidation tactics. I have personally been called \u201cnigger,\u201d \u201csellout,\u201d \u201cUncle Tom,\u201d and many other names. But I understand that I am fighting against evil. These names mean nothing to me. They are the pitiful words of cowards who do not have right on their side. By letting them pass, I am able to continue standing up for what is right: the emancipation of black America and the disbandment of the current black leadership.\r\n\r\nIt is now time for white America to realize that they are part of this same battle. The words \u201cracist,\u201d \u201cbigot,\u201d and \u201chatemonger,\u201d coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing. The real strength is in those who give these words no mind and continue to stand against racism and for what is right. Enduring these attacks is a part of a blessed life. Christ said that whenever you stand up for right you will go through such attacks. If Christ had to endure, why shouldn\u2019t we? After all, in enduring as Christ did, we come closer to God.\r\n\r\nIf Americans of all races can lay aside their fear to stand up for truth, we will all be blessed. If they do not lay aside this fear, then destruction will be widespread.\r\n\r\nRev Peterson is the Founder and President of BOND www.bondinfo.org \r\n\r\n","author":"about Rev Jesse Peterson","parent_id":96546,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-01-11 16:23:28","modified":"2013-11-11 00:28:20","fileurl":""},{"id":99969,"heading":"Want to fear whites","article":"Heres a great article written by a black man who reveals the truth about the "black agenda."
