More Obama Smoke and Mirrors

Amazing how the focus is always on "African-Americans and Latinos," but never on persons accused of mental illness. One would think that police treat people accused of mental illness with respect and that they are often the cause of the criminal abuse they experience from polce and psychiatrists. Obama and Holder verify their racism and lack of concern for persons with disabilities who suffer egregious institutionalized criminal abuses by police, an example of "pattern and practice" abuses. This is more form over substance by Obama the King of Appearances.

[From article]
"In a marked shift from the Bush administration, President Obama's Justice Department is aggressively investigating several big urban police departments for systematic civil rights abuses such as harassment of racial minorities, false arrests, and excessive use of force.
[. . .]
The allegations of civil rights violations being investigated by the DOJ are often quite brutal but do not make the news outside the cities where they occur.
[. . .]
"The primary victims of police misconduct are African-Americans and Latinos. The Bush administration simply wasn't interested in this," Walker says. "The Obama-Holder DOJ puts a very high priority on this."

Cuomo Makes Change in Form Over Substance

"The change in setting is a metaphor for the change we must undergo as a state," Cuomo said. "We must reconnect with the people and rebuild a relationship of trust." (BRENDAN SCOTT, "Cuomo moves annual speech out of legislative chamber," New York Post, December 29, 2010) Cuomo indicates continued political posturing, offering more changes of form over substance. There is a medium called television (and internet streaming) which allows "the people" to see a Governor's speech.
