Where’s the justice?

Judge Barry Williams refusal to declare a mistrial, after he acknowledged that prosecutors committed a discovery violation in the Freddie Gray case reinforces the initial complaint I filed with the Attorney Grievance Commission several months ago with regard to the shameful conduct of Marilyn Mosby, the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City.

Now, I have started the process of filing a complaint against Judge Barry Williams with the Commission on Judicial Disabilities regarding his denial of a mistrial and his refusal to change the venue for the trial of the 6 city police officers.

Sad to say, rather than showing the courage to follow the Constitution, Judge Williams chose to cave into mob rule.

Is this judicial justice for the citizens of Baltimore City? I don’t think so.

Abolish the U.S. Department of Education

The federal government should not have any role in public education, but neither should the states oversee the schools. Rather, the LOCAL REGIONS, THAT IS, THE CITY AND COUNTIES OF MARYLAND SHOULD HAVE AUTHORITY OF THEIR SCHOOLS and running their respective educational systems. The local jurisdictions are in a much better position in assessing the needs and challenges in helping every child to succeed.

Therefore, I want to abolish the United States Department of Education.

Double A strategy of ADMISSION and ACTION

The surge in violence in Baltimore City is not just confined to the city. It is a blur on the state as well. Having participated in the so called federal evaluation of the Baltimore City Police Department conducted by the U.S. Justice Department, specifically with Billie Coleman, Program Manager Policy Analyst with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, I do not hesitate to assert that this evaluation might sound helpful in theory, but in fact it’s a charade.

What’s more, creating areas with catchy sounding names such as war rooms or using enhanced technical equipment are not that effective for the total picture.

What is needed is a double A strategy of ADMISSION and ACTION.

The Mayor and the Baltimore City Police Commissioner ought to “man up” and ADMIT the truth that there is a shortage of police officers which is a major impairment for police officers to properly protect the citizens of Baltimore. At least 500 additional poice officers are needed.

The one who is right on track is Erik Thompson who was quoted in the article, “1 dead, 4 hurt in daytime shooting,” 10-3-15 (his father has owned the nearby Hilltop Hardware store for over 4 decades) when he said what is needed is “good old flat-footed cops..... they need to get back to grass-roots policing.” Erik Thompson has hit the nail right on the head!

The ACTION called for is going back to the basics of police officers walking the walk in communities, getting to know the people, and building stronger relationships with them.

Ralph Jaffe, Teacher, is filing as a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, July 28, 2015.

Fed up with crooked politics in government, Ralph Jaffe, Teacher, is going to Annapolis to file as a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, around 1:00 P.M.

He is putting his words into action. Revolted by all the crookedness in Maryland government, he is leading the JAFFE MOVEMENT whose goal is to show his students directly how to fight corruption in government and bribe money in politics and bring forth ethics in their place. It’s time to say enough of the career politicians who promote their own self-interests instead of catering to the needs and best interests of the citizens of Maryland. Now is the time to bring real ethical reform into our political system

He is the only candidate who refuses to take campaign contributions (because they are disguised bribes), who will pursue the truth no matter where it may lead, who will serve one term only, who will serve free, and who will turn away from paid, political lobbyists because citizens should be their own lobbyists.
