AMERICAN CIVIL INJUSTICE – « DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO ».

A 16 year old boy arrested for stealing a backpack spends 3 years in RIKERS ISLAND prison without trial.

He is savagely beaten by guards and inmates.

Finally he is judged innocent and released.

Last week, scarred and traumatized Kalief committed suicide.

40% of inmates in America’s prisons are black. 25%+ of all African-American men will spend time in prison.

Yet America HOWLS with righteous rage at human rights abuses elsewhere in the world.
