         <description><![CDATA[<div>There seems to be five major problem areas, these being:</div><div>1)”The need for change in police operations in the ghetto, to ensure proper conduct by the individual officers and to eliminate abrasive practices.”</div><div>2)”The need for more adequate police protection of ghetto residents, to eliminate the present high sense of insecurity to person and property.”</div><div>3)”The need for effective mechanisms for resolving citizen grievances against the police.”</div><div>4)”The need for policy guidelines to assist police in areas where police conduct can create tension.”</div><div>5)”The need to develop community support for law enforcement.”</div><div><br>The way I believe we could fix such brutality is training police officers to handle each altercation of the same severity and urgency.</div><div>Removing lethal weapons from police. They did this in Iceland and there have been little to no deaths because of this.</div><div>Assessing an officer's biases and racial stereotypes yearly so that if there were officers with such behaviors they will be removed from the force. Upon removal re education should be legally required so that we can continue to remove racist ideas from society.</div><div>Teaching non-lethal de-escalation techniques, firemen are taught this and haven't killed anyone so police should be able to as well.</div><div>Lastly, have assessments on police departments on how they handle complaints and internal corruption. A large part why racist officers are allowed to continue this violence is because their higher ups are also racist and excuse this behavior. Therefore more diversity in the police departments is more than necessary.</div><div>I would also like to say that because our judicial system was created by racists to benefit the white race we should completely overturn it.<br><br>We could measure if this grievance is fixed by seeing how many complaints there are, how many deaths have taken place, surveying minorities and their communities to understand what changes they have or haven’t seen and looking at the results of the tests and the amount of officers failing being removed from the force and if they aren’t then there needs to be an investigation opened regarding that department.</div><div><br>that's what I put for police hears what I put for education.</div><div>The grievances that black people have regarding education are surrounding the lack of safe and supportive educational environments that represent minorities and the failure to actually teach the black youth in any capacity. In the Kerner report it states, "The bleak record of public education for ghetto children is growing worse. In the critical skills-verbal and reading ability-black students fall further behind whites with each year of school completed.”</div><div>I removed the N word from this quote.</div><div>There is also a major problem with segregation, meaning that black students are in school with no funding or efficient education while whites are in private and rich schools with advanced and involved teachers.<br><br>To fix the grievances caused by the lack of proper systems in place there needs to be affirmative action to stop segregation, the “neighborhood school” policy should be completely removed which will fix both overcrowding and to an extent having mainly one race in different schools, teachers need to be taught to care for black students and impoverished individuals instead of resenting them, there needs to be a more up to date curriculum that effectively teaches all kids no matter the race, a lot more school funding and distribution of resources along with these resources being more accessible they should also interest minorities by having books and media that reflects their life's not just whites lives.</div><div><br>To measure whether or not this grievance is being fixed should surround funding, graduation rates, surveying black parents and if they think the education is sufficient this should include black students as well, how many students there are per classroom, and the populations of races in schools.&nbsp; By conducting studies around this it should allow clear conclusions on whether or not the grievance is fixed.</div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Police Practices:<br><br>- This grievance consists of Verbal abuse, lack of respect, and inadequate protection of all people, including minorities.&nbsp;<br>- This is still very much present in today’s society. From harassment, to straight up violence and abusive behavior, this is one of the main reasons why the Black Lives Matter protests continuously occur.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Police practices: The grievance would be how all cities around the world had complaints from African Americans suffering physical and or verbal abuse by police officers. The discrimination and lack of respect from police officers towards the African American community.This is important because it shows that many African Americans were targeted no matter what, there was a lot of discrimination which had started the riot because the African American community was not getting the respect that they needed by the police department.&nbsp;<br>Inadequate education:The grievance about inadequate education towards African American&nbsp; was poor quality of facilities and no actual curriculum for those African American students because&nbsp; history was not having African American history that was taught. Segregation was huge and the most serious complaint between about 20 cities with an educational system.The inadequate education shows that even in public schools this discrimination and segregation happen towards young African American kids too.They would be in poor condition schools because they needed to be separated from the whites.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Police practices:<br>Grievance: Black communities have nearly universally agreed that police officers were racially discriminatory and abusive.&nbsp;<br>Reaction: This heavily reminds me of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, which were all focused on the abuse of black people from police officers.<br>Unemployment and underemployment:<br>Grievance: Black workers looking for jobs were discriminated against during the employment process by many agencies, including local and state governments, which led to their vast unemployment.<br>Reaction: This still seems to be relevant today, as statistics show black workers are still not employed enough.<br>Housing:<br>Grievance: Housing for black communities often didn’t follow safety and building codes properly, sales and rentals were discriminatory, and houses were often overcrowded.<br>Reaction: Even today, housing seems to be somewhat separated to me. I remember reading an article about a section of Denver where houses were priced very low merely because it was a historically black area.<br>Inadequate education:<br>Grievance: Despite schools being integrated in policy, schools were still somewhat separated by race, and predominantly black schools were worse in quality. Black people were also underrepresented on school boards and curriculum.<br>Reaction: Data from the modern data assignment supports this. As most white students still attend schools with a majority white student body, and black students still attend schools with a majority black student body.<br><br>I believe the most relevant grievance today is the grievance of housing. It’s not nearly talked about in the news or media as other grievances, but I’ve noticed it the most in at least my life. I also believe that housing tends to underlay many other issues. For example, schools in predominantly black areas historically are of worse quality, such as by receiving less funding, which is why education continues to be somewhat segregated.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Police:<br></strong>The greatest causes of this grievance are physical and verbal abuse and lack of respect towards African Americans. Failed police protection police create more tension with situations that have a simple solution but only because they are African American. Ways this grievance can be solved is by making sure there not racist that’s it and by having scenario tests to see how these people would act if they were put in that situation and if a person were to do something majorly wrong on duty they need to go to jail to do the time and making sure they can never be a cop anymore otherwise it’s just going to repeat itself history always repeats. The data of the grievance would be low if this issue would be fix and then for once African American would feel protected and safe with cops and I know there are cops out there who are really nice and sweet but everyone is so focused on the internet and what's been going on the nice ones are left in the dark but I completely understand why African Americans would feel unsafe around cops especially what's been going on throughout the years things never change.<br><strong>Employment:<br></strong>The greatest causes of this grievance is having to choose from being jobless or getting jobs that were inadequate with that I mean poor working conditions that aren’t up to date and poor pay and no breaks especially if your POC. Ways this grievance can be solved is having equal pay and making sure that there are inspections in making sure that the working conditions are up to date and workers aren’t in danger and making sure that the workers get paid even when they take a sick day as well as good insurance and Medicare. The data of the grievance would be at an all-time low considering it’s fixing all of the issues when it comes to unemployment and underemployment. &nbsp;<br><strong>Housing:<br></strong>The greatest cause of this grievance is it’s estimated that about two percent of the Earth's population is homeless and it doesn’t help that everything is expensive due to the economy failing and the cheapest apartments don’t come in good condition or something in the apartment is broken making you have to pay to fix it or getting a better apartment which then wasting more money all the basic necessities are expensive. Inadequate building and safety code enforcement, discrimination in sales and rentals, and overcrowding are the main issues when it comes to inadequate housing if these changes were to be fixed I feel more people would be comfortable buying their own houses knowing there in good condition and there affordable. Considering that It is estimated that 150 million people are homeless worldwide I believe that improving on these issues will fix the housing situation then the data would begin to slowly decrease when we don't see people living on the streets.<br><strong>Education:<br></strong>The greatest cause of this grievance centered on the prevalence of de facto segregation, poor quality of instruction and facilities, deficiencies in public school curriculum, inadequate representation of POC people on school boards, and the absence or inadequacy of vocational training. Kids should have the right to have an education they need the kids can become something great and can go far in life with the right education this is something they should have the right to have they need to learn and have more POC representation and in good condition school so children can learn in a safe environment and don’t have to worry about having their lives in danger and can learn freely. The data of the grievance would increase because more children would be put in better education and get the education they deserve.</div>]]></description>
