Injustice in Ferguson | National Catholic Reporter
Injustice in Ferguson | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Hopefully, Officer Wilson's department will fire him - indictment or not. The feds certainly will and this will taint him forever. He could only become a Tea Party member of Congress. As for black men being in the justice system - that was intentional to keep them from voting - it has nothing to do with public safety and health. Missouri is still part of the deep south, even though it is next to southern Illinois (which is southern in mind as well). My relatives live in that part of the world - the ones who were in the Daniel Boone Party and kept moving - not an unracist bunch. One hopes we will grow out of racism, but Officer Wilson is not old and there are a lot of people like him in his age cohort. They may usually act respectfully, but their hearts and not pure. Sadly, neither is religion. Dr. King called Sunday the most segregated day of the week. Indeed, while Fr. Kelly is seen as making gains, when one mentions another priest, Fr. Michael Plueger is seen as somehow disreputable. We need more like Fr. Mike in the Church.
