White supremacists entering US police: Activist
Press TV has conducted a interview with Yahkhahnahn Ammi, a human rights activist based in Saint Louis, and Maxine Dovere, a political analyst in New York, to discuss police brutality in the United States and the recent mysterious deaths in American jails.
Ammi says African Americans have been subject to genocide for a long time now and the issue of police brutality is a part of that trend since some white supremacists choose law enforcement as their cover.
The fact that all the recent instances of police violence in the US involve a victim that belongs to minority groups rules out their randomness, the activist adds.
The American society is struggling with many hidden tensions, he says, that lead to these issues and yet in a clear double standard, the US government goes after other nations under the pretext of human rights.
“It is hypocrisy to speak out and point the finger against other nations when we have human rights violations going on here.”
He also points to the case of Sandra Bland and dismisses suicide allegations surrounding her death. Ammi says it is “sickening” to see how white police officers kill blacks and other minorities in the United States.
Meanwhile, Dovere says although the high number of deaths in US jails is “a shame,” it does not entirely concern a certain race. She also argues that the issue of police brutality in the United States is brought into light because of the level of transparency in police work and the media coverage that it gets.
The analyst accuses all UN countries that condemn police violence in the US of lacking transparency in their police work.
