NIGGRO COUNCILWOMAN OF FERGUSON FOR SALE-AND SOLD

The Post Dispatch, StlToday has reported, since Ferguson Councilwoman Ella Jones is clever, worked her way up, built allies and through that process got elected. Moreover, because she is African American we should not file for recall of her election.

What the Post do not elaborate about is how Ella hoodwinked the African American community of Ferguson. During her campaign she was hand picked by a family member of Ferguson mayor James Knowles. She built relationships and accumulated allies with his regime to be a political operator with a black face to give an illusion-false impression of being a voice for the voiceless, African Americans of Ferguson. However, as the world was watching and Ella was elected as councilwoman, people was satisfied that now, Ferguson council had another African American member. But Ella, coupled together with the appointment of being a handpicked puppet, knew, the only thing on her agenda was to sever the regime of people "Ferguson Officials' the Department of Justice "DOJ" criticized about violating the rights of African Americans.

Ella main platform was to bring "new leadership to Ferguson" but how she figured she could bring new leadership being a handpicked puppet of the old regime.


Months after the killing of Mike Brown by a Ferguson police officer, the U.S. Department of Justice painted a damning picture of Ferguson city law enforcement as racially biased and revenue-focused against African Americans. Ferguson’s municipal court judge, city manager, court clerk and police chief resigned in the course of three days after the DOJ released these findings. During the time of the DOJ investigations into the City of Ferguson, the races for three open seats on Ferguson City Council was getting unprecedented coverage. The big question may be why. Why — after months of being in the red-hot glare of the national and international media in the aftermath of the police shooting of Mike Brown — would Ella decide to run for a seats on the beleaguered Ferguson City Council, all for a part-time job that pays $250 a month?

Ferguson is roughly two-thirds black; at the time, one of the six council members was black, which had prompted major criticism after Brown was shot and killed by then-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Ella, a Ferguson resident for decades was not into the street protest movement that came with the killing of Mike Brown. For months, protest groups had demanded new leadership in Ferguson They said they wanted to see the racial makeup of city leaders better represent the community. Protesters and residents of Ferguson felt if elected, black council members like Ella might make life difficult for James Knowles, the mayor who has been pushed to the brink of quitting by African-American criticism of his police force.

Was Ella that change to the City of Ferguson Council that the world was expecting.

Ex-Ferguson Mayor: Brian Fletcher who had also won a seat as one of Ferguson newest Council member went on record several times saying "'We" Want Our City Back' whoever "we" was, he was referring to. But what makes it particularly apparent that Fletcher wasn't referring to African Americans is because he typically referred to them as "them people" and the African American community of Ferguson did not support him.

Something that's so fundamental in our legal system that most white people is guaranteed, the United States of America had to file a lawsuit against the City of Ferguson Missouri in hopes of making the City Council Memebers extend those fundamental rights to African Americans. Among all things, the Department of Justice wanted to assure that the City of Ferguson would not jail them just because they are poor or to generate revenue.

The national spotlight on Ferguson began after the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in August 2014. Brown, who was unarmed, was black, and Wilson is white. Brown's death prompted days of protests and riots in Ferguson and a national conversation about the role of race in police interactions with citizens and prompt an investigation into Ferguson Police Department and Municipal Court system. Protesters and activists took to the streets day and night protesting in hopes of change.

WHAT CHANGE APPEARED TO LOOK LIKE WITH AN UPCOMING ELECTION


It appeared, April 08, 2015, with an upcoming council election change was coming to the City of Ferguson, adding more blacks to City Council. After months of turmoil and upheaval, months of frustration and anger, the beleaguered city has a new governing board. And it looks very different than the old one. Buoyed by a higher-than-normal 30% turnout, two African-American candidates won their wards to make the six-member City Council 50% black. Ferguson's population of about 21,000 is 70% black, but the City Council was predominantly white, as is the police force. After months of door knocking, activists helping to get one of the newest council members, Ella Jones in office, they questioned, “who side are you own my friend”. Activist and protesters had been advocating “they wanted change” in the City of Ferguson. But after a long length of time it was revealed that Ella, was not for change, she was handpicked by Brian Fletcher.



Brian Fletcher has served within the City of Ferguson either as Council Member or Mayor for over the last twenty years. In a Stltoday article posted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ella, in a council meeting explains how she was handpicked by Brian Fletcher. http://m.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/in-ferguson-overflow-crowd-keeps-residents-from-meeting-to-weigh/article_0b786b15-7925-56ca-b22e-eadb23c445eb.html?mobile_touch=true (scroll down to bottom of article, press play and listen to the recording of the Ferguson Council meeting) 


In a statement Ella made after winning office she tells: "For some people, it means hope. Some people, it means a new face for Ferguson. And for some people, it means that it's time for us to get together and do the work we need to do to build our city." The only thing missing is that, when she said “some people” she knew that "some people" didn’t include African Americans.  In other words, the African American community of Ferguson, never stood a chance in hopes of Ella Jones bringing change for them! 
Hi 



After a Justice Department investigation report last year found the Ferguson Police Department had discriminated against African-Americans, targeting them disproportionately for traffic stops, and use of force was routine, and jail sentences towards them were egregious, encouraged by the City in the interest of raising revenue and were driven, at least in part, by racial bias. The DOJ and Ferguson City Officials, after several months of negotiations agreed upon an consent decree.



Ella Jones, coupled with Ferguson other black City Council Members rejected the consent decree approved by their own negotiators,” making the DOJ file legal proceeding. In a news conference Loretta Lynch referenced the Justice Department investigation that began shortly after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown. It “uncovered a community in distress, in which residents felt under assault by their own police force,” she said. She said the police department’s violations were expansive, deliberate, egregious and routine. The lawsuit mirrors a 105-page report the Justice Department published in March, detailing patterns in the police department of illegal stops, searches, and arrests, driven partly by racial bias. City leaders encouraged the abuses, which violated the First, Fourth and 14th Amendments, in the interest of raising revenue, Lynch said.

While the City of Ferguson Missouri officials and Councilwoman Ella Jones continue to support their on agenda, we will continue to fight in search for a town mayor that can serve for all the people of Ferguson. 

We can't let Ella Jones become Ferguson's black mayor because people would then think everything is okay! In other words, they will be saying "what else you want, you have a black mayor." And Ella Jones is not for the blacks of Ferguson. Can you click this link and help me get the word out? Yes I'll chip in: Click

But I'll be frank, we need you with us and your help. We've got to build up as much power as we possibly can. Every single activist who proudly stands up for justice and equality brings us closer to where we need to be. They must hear us, and together we can make it so.

Yes, I'll CLICK this link and chip in to help the effort in Ferguson Missouri, activists on the ground in Ferguson Missouri.
