Mike Brown Shooting: Ferguson Police And KKK Ties

The Mike Brown Shooting in Ferguson, Missouri (near St.Louis) has become an awful symbol of police power run amok. But why? Lost in the reports of police brutality is a shocking backstory: the KKK, America's premier white supremacist group, had conducted a recruiting campaign in parts of the St. Louis Metro Area, and beyond. It focused on the towns of O'Fallon, Lexington, Springfield, Park Hills, Fenton, and Fredericktown. Ferguson was not visited because it's 60 percent black, but it's clear there's an active white supremacist society at work in the area. Frank Ancona is the current leader of one KKK organization, and he lives in Park Hills. He has been a constant media presence, talking about how the KKK is concerned with drug dealing in neighborhoods. It's like he's trying to paint the KKK as the Guardian Angels. In light of the finding that two police officers in Fruitland Park Florida were members of a local KKK organization, why not investigate members of the Ferguson Police Department? The focus should be not just on the officers, but on their families and associates. And anyone of the Ferguson Police Officers who are found to fit this profile must be terminated. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson should be made to answer the question: are their white supremacists working in the Ferguson Police Department, and if not, have you investigated to determine of that is or is not so? Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
