不過拜登說法是這樣拜登痛批川普：用美國軍隊對付美國人 https://reurl.cc/203vLn 中央廣播電台吳寧康如此看來民主黨有兩派立場 1.歐巴馬派:州和地方要負責，但大家都不想當鎮壓那一個 2.拜登派:用美國軍隊對付美國人，不過都不動作可能流失保守派以及中產選民所以大家覺得歐巴馬和拜登哪一個有道理有人能說明一下嗎? ※ 引述《moshenisshit (嘻嘻)》之銘言： : But the elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments : and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels : 左膠、川黑、黑人， : 直接被自己的精神領袖狠狠打臉啊， : 連歐巴馬都出來開示，州和地方層級責任更大， : 左膠只會一切都是川普白人至上主義的錯啦啦， : 民主黨的Minnesota州政府和Minneapolis市政府沒事兒！ : ※ 引述《kaiblue (用心作戰)》之銘言： : : 1.轉錄標題︰ : : 若為BBS他板文章可免填 FB請寫名稱 : : 無標題，借用中央社新聞報導的標題 : : 美示威潮／反暴力歐巴馬：和平示威參與投票才是改變正途 : : 1.轉錄網址︰ : : ※超過一行請縮址，若為BBS他板文章可免填※ : : https://reurl.cc/lVX649 : : 2.轉錄來源︰ : : ※超過一行請縮址，若為他板文章可免填※ : : 歐巴馬FB : : 3.轉錄內容︰ : : ※請完整轉載原文請勿修改內文與編排※ : : 標題：歐巴馬：和平示威參與投票才是改變正途 : : As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their : : voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of : : unequal justice, many people have reached out asking how we can sustain : : momentum to bring about real change. : : Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape : : strategies that best fit the times. But I believe there are some basic lesso : ns : : to draw from past efforts that are worth remembering. : : First, the waves of protests across the country represent a genuine and : : legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practice : s : : and the broader criminal justice system in the United States. The overwhelmi : ng : : majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and : : inspiring. They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation – somethi : ng : : that police in cities like Camden and Flint have commendably understood. : : On the other hand, the small minority of folks who’ve resorted to violence : in : : various forms, whether out of genuine anger or mere opportunism, are putting : : innocent people at risk, compounding the destruction of neighborhoods that a : re : : often already short on services and investment and detracting from the large : r : : cause. I saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because : : the only grocery store in her neighborhood had been trashed. If history is a : ny : : guide, that store may take years to come back. So let’s not excuse violence : ,o : : rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system : , : : and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we : : have to model that code ourselves. : : Second, I’ve heard some suggest that the recurrent problem of racial bias i : n : : our criminal justice system proves that only protests and direct action can : : bring about change, and that voting and participation in electoral politics : is : : a waste of time. I couldn’t disagree more. The point of protest is to raise : : public awareness, to put a spotlight on injustice, and to make the powers th : at : : be uncomfortable; in fact, throughout American history, it’s often only bee : n : : in response to protests and civil disobedience that the political system has : : even paid attention to marginalized communities. But eventually, aspirations : : have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices – and : in : : a democracy, that only happens when we elect government officials who are : : responsive to our demands. : : Moreover, it’s important for us to understand which levels of government ha : ve : : the biggest impact on our criminal justice system and police practices. When : w : : think about politics, a lot of us focus only on the presidency and the feder : al : : government. And yes, we should be fighting to make sure that we have a : : president, a Congress, a U.S. Justice Department, and a federal judiciary th : at : : actually recognize the ongoing, corrosive role that racism plays in our soci : et : : and want to do something about it. But the elected officials who matter most : i : : reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the sta : te : : and local levels. : : It’s mayors and county executives that appoint most police chiefs and : : negotiate collective bargaining agreements with police unions. It’s distric : t : : attorneys and state’s attorneys that decide whether or not to investigate a : nd : : ultimately charge those involved in police misconduct. Those are all elected : : positions. In some places, police review boards with the power to monitor : : police conduct are elected as well. Unfortunately, voter turnout in these lo : ca : : races is usually pitifully low, especially among young people – which makes : n : : sense given the direct impact these offices have on social justice issues, n : ot : : to mention the fact that who wins and who loses those seats is often determi : ne : : by just a few thousand, or even a few hundred, votes. : : So the bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the : : choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to : : mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to : : make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform. : : Finally, the more specific we can make demands for criminal justice and poli : ce : : reform, the harder it will be for elected officials to just offer lip servic : e : : to the cause and then fall back into business as usual once protests have go : ne : : away. The content of that reform agenda will be different for various : : communities. A big city may need one set of reforms; a rural community may n : ee : : another. Some agencies will require wholesale rehabilitation; others should : : make minor improvements. Every law enforcement agency should have clear : : policies, including an independent body that conducts investigations of alle : ge : : misconduct. Tailoring reforms for each community will require local activist : s : : and organizations to do their research and educate fellow citizens in their : : community on what strategies work best. : : But as a starting point, I’ve included two links below. One leads to a repo : rt : : and toolkit developed by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights : : and based on the work of the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that I form : ed : : when I was in the White House. And if you’re interested in taking concrete : : action, we’ve also created a dedicated site at the Obama Foundation to : : aggregate and direct you to useful resources and organizations who’ve been : : fighting the good fight at the local and national levels for years. : : I recognize that these past few months have been hard and dispiriting – tha : t : : the fear, sorrow, uncertainty, and hardship of a pandemic have been compound : ed : : by tragic reminders that prejudice and inequality still shape so much of : : American life. But watching the heightened activism of young people in recen : t : : weeks, of every race and every station, makes me hopeful. If, going forward, : w : : can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective : : action, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation’s long : : journey to live up to our highest ideals. : : Let’s get to work. : : - obama.org/policing-civil-rights-org-toolkit : : - obama.org/anguish-and-action : : 4.附註、心得、想法︰ : : 歐巴馬是美國近年來最理性, 最具包容力也最有理想跟號召力的一位總統. : : 作為支持民主自由的一方, 坦白說 : : 台灣也需要一位像歐巴馬這樣的政治領袖出來領導 : : 只可惜檯面上似乎沒有這樣的人.... ----- Sent from JPTT on my Samsung SM-A7050. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 42.73.57.104 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/HatePolitics/M.1591239264.A.70C.html
