Dear Board Members,
This can be good news! http://journaltimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/be-careful-what-you-post-county-taking-facebook-threats-seriously/article_63877c8c-c9fc-5d05-9745-a6b724117554.html
These actions very dramatically demonstrate the racial bias of the D.A.'s office (and the complicity of the newspaper) and provide a basis for recognizing, if not demanding, change. There have been many racist comments posted on Facebook and other media by white citizens that have not been addressed as "TERRORISM" on the front page of the newspaper, despite their advocacy of violence.
It's
now clearly a responsibility of the County Board to step forward and
address this glaring inequity that exists in the District Attorney's
Office. They can come forward and do that, or remain silent and thereby
perpetuate the current atmosphere, which offers no chance of
contributing to the safe, peaceful and fair society that all claim to
prefer.
We
all know, or should be aware of, the statistical evidence that implies a
pervasive, systemic racism that plagues all of Southeast Wisconsin.
This very public display of it offers an opportunity for all Racine
County residents to either endorse or reject it, and the most important
citizens to that effort right now are the members of the County Board. I
hope that they choose the latter and embark on a treatment program to
effect a cure for this illness that is destroying the health of our
communities.
While
District Attorney is an elected position and not subject to direct
control by the county board, I strongly encourage and support you in any
effort to influence this situation.
