Da Urban Conservative with Chaz Neal Brought to you by The Leon Block Media

Come chat with Chaz and Jontel as they discuss ODUNDE which was created in 1975 by Lois Fernandez. The festival attracts UP TO 500,000 people annually and is the largest African American street festival held in the country. The ODUNDE festival, whose concept originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa, celebrates the coming of another year for African Americans and Africanized people around the world. It is an occasion highlighted by a colorful procession from 23rd and South Street to the Schuylkill River where an offering of fruit and flowers is made to Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of the river. ODUNDE is also known for its authentic African marketplace featuring vendors from around the world selling merchandise from African nations, the Caribbean and Brazil.

on todays episode Chaz and jontel Discuss what is happening in america from trump being indicted to Far-right 'Moms for Liberty' listed as a hate group for first time by the SPLC

For police officers who commit this violence, there has been no accountability. Cops are supposed to be held to a standard of conduct, but they always get the benefit of the doubt, inherently. They act like we ain't supposed to question nothing.

Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation.

Due to my political ties And they tell me that life's but a gamble The media will turn your whole life into a scandal You're looking at a cracker's worst nightmare Old black, Broke and with a fresh pair Nikes Boy you can’t talk about my life here.

Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday’s and today’s school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did.”

On todays show chaz talks about his experience in the black lives matter movement the sad ugly truth

lets have a conversation about black history and why are we repeating history and not changing it?

We the BLACK community is our biggest obstacle to overcome. African Americans still face more hurdles to get a job, never mind a good one, than their white counterparts. They continue to face systematically higher unemployment rates, fewer job opportunities, lower pay, poorer benefits, and greater job instability. These persistent differences reflect systematic barriers to quality jobs, such as outright discrimination against African American workers.

on todays episode we discuss In recent years, many police departments have trained officers to be alert to the risk of what's called "positional asphyxia," the possibility that prolonged restraint of a suspect in a prone position can be deadly. It's a lesson some in the Minneapolis Police Department already learned once, 10 years ago.

Minneapolis paid out $3 million to settle a lawsuit over the 2010 death of David Smith, 28. The young black man was mentally ill, his attorneys said, and died after officers Tasered him and then held him facedown on the floor for several minutes. One of them kept a knee on his back even after he stopped responding to questions.

In 2013 the city of Minneapolis paid $3 million to the family of David Cornelius Smith, who died after police pinned him face down, while handcuffed, on the floor of a downtown YMCA.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota, West alleges he tried to comply and the officers beat him anyway. According to the suit, Tyler Klund's father, Sgt. Darcy Klund, cleared the officers of wrongdoing by conducting a supervisor use-of-force review on his son.
1994–2002: Robert Olson served as Chief of the MPD until his dismissal through federal mediation in 2002.

2001: Communities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB), which was established, was critical of the 2003 Mediation Agreement between the City of Minneapolis and federal mediators, who had come together to "discuss police misconduct." Initially, the city refused to do so in spite of the Jordan riot.

2002: William McManus began his terms as MPD chief of police. He resigned in 2006 when he joined the San Antonio Police Department.

March 2002: A MPD police officer shot and killed a "machete-wielding Somali man.

Riots broke out in north Minneapolis in response to the March 2002 shooting death.

2003: The MPD "entered into a federal mediation agreement with the U.S. Justice Department" to address a number of police issues including "use of force, diversity and race relations." The mediation agreement was intended to "soothe community tensions".

2005: The Minnesota Legislature 2005 introduced laws to "improve coordination of gang and drug enforcement efforts" throughout Minnesota. As part of this "reorganization" the state-level Metro Gang Strike Force (2005 - 2009).2  The Legislature had created the state level Gang and Drug Oversight Council, the "Council" (2005 - 2010) to "establish and supervise multi-jurisdictional task forces and strike forces" across Minnesota. The Minnesota Gang Strike Force was dissolved at this time.The council had 32 voting members including the Attorney General, chiefs of police selected by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, sheriffs, representative from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Drug Enforcement Administration, Minnesota Tribal Law Enforcement Association, and others.

2006: Bob Kroll, who has been a police officer with the Minneapolis Police Department since 1989, was appointed as Federation vice president after having served on the board of directors in 1996.Over 41,593 inmates were book by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.

2007: By 2007 the Minneapolis-based Hennepin County Sheriff's Office with its headquarters in downtown Minneapolis, was one of the "largest law enforcement agencies in Minnesota." The Sheriff's Office had "division and unit facilities spread" throughout Hennepin County. At the time, the Office had a $69 million operational budget.

Shortly after his death, the city passed the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act, promising sweeping changes to policing. For the most part, the demands in the act have yet to be implemented.

"This far down the road, and with so little progress made, and a really deep feeling of watering down of what will end up getting passed," said Amity Dimock, Kobe's mother.

Dimock and Wright are co-chairs of the implementation committee. They say they made recommendations to the city council about six months ago, but have yet to see the council move their proposals forward to an eventual vote and implementation.

"To lose Daunte in a city that promised so many changes, and all we see is baby steps? And we're not even seeing that," Wright said.

Since Daunte Wright's death in 2021, there have been several changes to city leadership in Brooklyn Center, including several new city council members, new mayor and police chief.

After 4 minutes and 41 seconds, Chauvin removed his knee and carried Code to his squad car by one of her arms.An MPD supervisor, Sergeant Tammy Werner, later "reviewed and approved" the officer’s use of force against code, the complaint says.

A grand jury is soon expected to decide whether the eight Akron police officers involved in the June 2022 shooting death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker will face charges.Meanwhile, city officials are preparing for unrest in the streets, setting up barricades at the city’s justice center and police department and the county courthouse; boarding up the windows of city hall; and restricting access to other public buildings.

On this episode we talk Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.
