America’s War on Community Engagement<\/em>
By Dean L. Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preface<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the six million years of human evolution on Earth and the building of civilizations, an ongoing dilemma is contending with the lives lost from worldwide<\/strong> disasters. Where around the world, people must deal with floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, blizzards, tropical storms, and other untimely disasters. As such, in contrast never <\/strong>has any unnatural <\/strong>disaster been so devastating to have raised the level <\/strong>of human prominence and responsiveness for a loss of life as the one befallen on Mother Earth in the Spring of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unnatural <\/strong>disaster in the Spring of 2020 was the killing of George Perry Floyd, Jr<\/strong>. Praise be that seventeen years of age Darnella Frazier, spontaneously used her smart phone to openly record Duly Authorized Law Enforcement Minneapolis Police Department Officer, Derek Chauvin, in the line of duty during the evening of May 25, 2020. Which in due course, this recording credibly dispersed an array of answers to a fearsome unnatural <\/strong>disaster interrelated to when<\/strong>, where<\/strong>, and who <\/strong>killed George Perry Floyd, Jr<\/strong>. By voluntarily recording this live event, community member Darnella Frazier digitally documented a duly authorized officer’s cumbersome use of body weight and weaponized knee that penetratingly pressed into the neck of George Perry Floyd, Jr<\/strong>, Minneapolis community member, for precisely nine minutes and 29 seconds<\/strong>, thereby permanently cutting off his breath to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Darnella Frazier recorded the most historic civil rights document and court evidence for a subsequent murder trial. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To that end, Darnella Frazier posted her video to the World Wide Web where perceivably every <\/strong>breathing human viewed and overheard the copiously real-time recorded nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds of the most treacherously and horrifically publicized human life killing of George Perry Floyd Jr.<\/a> <\/strong> Whether derived systematically or fortuitously, it is clear that the now proven murder of George<\/strong> Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr <\/strong>has uncovered an aided and abetted antagonistically violent-based society that is at war on community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That notwithstanding, there remains the elucidating reason why <\/strong><\/em>and for what<\/em><\/strong> indifferent purpose did the Governmentally trained Police Officer Derrick Chauvin publicly commit such a gruesome act of homicide against a community member on May 25, 2020, at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue [Latitude 44.934150 Longitude -93.262500], in front of the Cup Foods Store, in the City of Minneapolis, a part of Hennepin County, in the State of Minnesota USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of this book’s eight chapters will offer stimulated nonfiction perception on why<\/strong> <\/em>and for what<\/strong> <\/em>reason did this murder take place. The why<\/strong> <\/em>can be curtly stated as an act of total disrespect for people living and working in the lingering effects from restrictive (race-based) real estate covenants employed by Hennepin County. Thereby indicating an immediate need to eradicate systemic hatred that is a virus of prejudice innocuously permeating the bias governance not exclusive to Hennepin County, but across America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In writing for what<\/strong> purpose was George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr <\/strong>murdered holds absolutely no acceptable reason other than an unemotional disfavor against black people. So one can only strive to illuminate a definitive strategy that pursues this homicide so much that it never becomes forgotten and urbanely filed into America’s distained situation records of government<\/strong> perpetrated wrongful deaths. And that humane reactions ultimately bring to fruition present-day civic and economic community engagement plans for every American City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contents herein is not a how-to manual abolishing America’s depraved war on community engagement, but a new millennium discussion on holding all supervisorial governing bodies liable that directly or indirectly sanction abuse and murder of its citizens. Plus, this writing appeals to nurturing an open-mind in consideration that the afterlife of George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong> is a spiritual reviving of self-confidence toward manifesting a more perfect municipal civilization, NOW. Metaphorically, like the Phoenix that arose from the ashes of death, in memoriam, with respect and honor, the eternal life of George Perry Floyd, Jr<\/strong> interrelates the <\/strong>definitive catalyst for America’s evolution of City management and human appreciation toward producing the most intensifying outcome for an All-Embracing<\/em> Community Engagement<\/em>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust<\/strong> You Are and to Dust<\/strong> You Will Return<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritually, when speaking of the taking of life it sometime brings to mind a reference God Moves in a Mysterious Way.<\/em> In 1773, William Cowper from England wrote a Christian hymn that begins with that popular idiom, God Moves in a Mysterious Way.<\/em> Although these words are not actually biblical scripture, what comes close is written in the book of Isaiah 55:8-9; \u2019For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,\u2019 declares the Lord. \u2018As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a rare assurance, the name and life of George<\/strong> Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr <\/strong>will live in infamy, but not as a fallen military soldier, but as an American civilian who involuntarily gave his all. Due in part to the chance lifestyle of George Perry Floyd, Jr<\/strong>, it may be hard for some to acknowledge, nonetheless, he is spiritually and eternally present with the world’s creator.<\/strong> Accordingly, his earthly activity has no bearing on his obtainable heavenly achievements. and all to do with how do USA communities increase unity among its citizenry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government’s representatives (law enforcement) deployed to control community policy willfully disengaged from community civility in carrying out its sworn duty on May 25, 2021. Community members are not enemy combatants, yet every personnel dispatched to represent law enforcement cut ties with the community that evening. At no time during Minneapolis law enforcement’s detainment of George<\/strong> Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong> did the government’s represents afford opportunity for community helpfulness. Law enforcement routinely seeks community involvement and engagement following a crime, but disconnect when it best suits their aim to maim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, in order to improve on community engagement the life of a human being taken so publicly thrashed is a responsible call to order and to garner the corrective action. This why it is important to not dwell on George Perry Floyd Jr’s<\/strong> earthly achievements, but to move forward from where the taking of his life has caused great pain and distress enough that from May 25, 2020 forward. in death he is involuntarily martyrized. Which brings to mind a written word published in the early 4th century AD, “do not speak ill of the dead,”<\/em> one of the Seven Sages of Greece<\/a>, in the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers<\/em> by Diogenes La\u00ebrtius<\/a>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The murdering of George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr <\/strong>was perpetrated by government personnel, which evoked a worldwide, and sometimes rebellious, response relevantly branded the ‘Asphyxiated Spring,’ as a political movement against oppression and discrimination. The global responses were mostly civic protests that took place in over 60 countries and on all seven continents. These street protests began immediately<\/strong> following the murder of George Perry Floyd,<\/strong> Jr <\/strong>during an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>. The universal sentiment was so strong that many protests were held in spite of regional health warnings against participation in large gatherings, and even defiance of protests being illegal in some parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There looms a possibility that perhaps the world witnessed the killing of George Perry Floyd Jr <\/strong>so that others will not needlessly succumb to any similar ill fate at the hands of the USA government. The crude and cruel similarity of crucifixion, a method of governmentally sanctioned punishment, to bring about inevitable death from exhaustion and asphyxiation, whereas the life of George Perry Floyd Jr <\/strong>was taken in a very analogous mode of conduct, where the courts confirmed that his death was pursuant to asphyxiation from sustained pressure from the willful Knee <\/strong>of a government official<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Christianity the Second Coming was to be witnessed by the people living in the same generation as Jesus. Within an instance, George Perry Floyd Jr.<\/a> was known around the world and remains a central figure for the lack of appreciation for a black American’s life.  The world, irrespective of race, religion, or creed, draped their acceptance of humanity around the wrongful public execution of George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong>.  And, from that point in time of May 25, 2020, at 9:25 PM Central Daylight Time forward, a belief is cultivated that George Perry Floyd Jr’s <\/strong>commemoration is emblematic of the personification of God and the awaited messiah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religious teachings espouse that God the Father only reveals himself immanently vicariously through the Son and Spirit. Paul the Apostle in a letter to the Philippians (2:6\u20138), wrote \u2026being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.<\/em> Significant discussion about history have been exchanged going back some 2,000 years, where ancient Roman law enforcement carried out crucifixion as capital punishment, until Emperor Constantine<\/a> banned it in the fourth century A.D. Similarly, the USA is grappling with banning chokeholds as a form of ‘preliminary’ capital punishment by its municipal militia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that dreaded day to the life of George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong> these duly sworn officers of the law biblically reflected the four horsemen of the apocalypse that are the figures who appear in the Book of Revelation<\/a>. Each of the horsemen represents a different facet of the apocalypse: conquest, war, famine, and death<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the \u201ccolor of law,\u201d or government authority, these four horsemen willfully deprived George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong> of his constitutional rights, where they knowingly did wrong in that moment but did it anyway, as three officers aided and abetted second-degree murder and manslaughter. [cause, man, people are quick to count you out, but so strict to count you in]
Officer Thomas Lane – Conquest<\/strong>. The first officer to approach George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong> did so with his service revolver drawn and aimed at his suspect using his metal flashlight to tap on car window of the unsuspecting suspect.
Officer J. Alexander Kueng – War<\/strong>. He used verbal war commands such as “you listen to us and we will tell you what is going on.” {+<\/strong><\/strong>Source} A horseman charged with unreasonable seizure by not intervening to stop Chauvin as he knelt on Floyd\u2019s neck
Officer Tou Thao – Famine<\/strong>. This officer denied access, deprived, and restrained the onlookers (citizens) from assisting George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong>, who is a horseman charged with unreasonable seizure by not intervening to stop Chauvin as he knelt on Floyd\u2019s neck.
Officer Derek Chauvin – Death<\/strong>. This training officer of Officer J. Alexander Kueng denied George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong> from unreasonable seizure and force by a police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because, like George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong>, Jesus Christ was cruelly arrested by the state law authorities, with an ensuing crucifixion. After which, there is widespread belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Two millenniums later, compare the indictment and verdict of law enforcement and the better practices that are coming about, have literally delivered upon his Second Coming marking the beginning of the Millennium as the lifeforce <\/strong>of George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong> has risen from the dead<\/a>.  The killing of George Perry Floyd Jr <\/strong>in turn has transpired in the name of sins committed by others and the public victimization of his life was shown as the ultimate crude state sanctioned restraints that are principally and summarily employed in the USA against impoverished people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without question, George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong> is eternally present with God, active in all creation, and the source of humanity’s moral and spiritual nature.  In George Perry Floyd Jr\u2019s <\/strong>last breath, he was able to express to the multitudes his love for Mother<\/strong>, and in a manner, he never asked for anyone to weep for him.  Likewise, there is a modest symbolism in the purpose for his \u2018lawful detainment\u2019 over a fake $20 bill, and in contrast Jesus was betrayed for 30 silver coins, whereas one silver coin in today\u2019s buying power would equal $20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when you gloss over and even fully dismiss the religious belief of Christian and Islamic faiths about the second coming, the facts bear it out that something arrived on time to help make corrective change of the Social and Economic (socioeconomic<\/a>) landscape in America.
~ unbiased technology of the Internet and smart phones were at the ready during the killing of George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong>,
~ an in-progress national movement on reducing law enforcement’s merciless power against citizens and its community disconnect,
~ a health pandemic with shuttered <\/strong>businesses and schools causing people to loose income and in some cases hope,
~ a mounting problem of inner-city decay and an unattended homeless populist,
~ neglectful immigrant rights,
~ and an ever increasing hateful political divide at all levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, in 1919 during the last pandemic, W. B. Yeats<\/a> wrote and published a poem named “The Second Coming<\/strong>“. W.B. Yeats was inspired by his his wife Georgie Hyde-Lees who was pregnant with their child and was suffering with the pandemic virus and was very close to death. At this time, Yeats was in Europe living just a year following World War I, where he used Christian imagery regarding the Apocalypse and Second Coming<\/a> to allegorically describe the atmosphere of post-war Europe and the 1918\u20131919 flu pandemic<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not declared by Congress, there is a credible and ongoing war for dominance of influence of community development in the United States of America. The rules of war are consistently changing through local, state and federal laws, countered by civic protests and electoral contests. Government employs police, jails, social and judicial representatives to fight the good fight, while the community residents make every attempt to use all receptive resources at their disposal. The other combatant that carries the largest weight is that of commercial enterprise. This makes for germane community engagement a constant battle for compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civic war on community engagement is a three-headed monster and the most dreaded and revered is law enforcement, ahead of government and civilian. But, within the ranks of law enforcement resides the infamous ‘Thin Blue Line’ cleverly embodied by police in keeping society from descending into violent chaos was abridged by countless law enforcement personnel yielding to have these unreasonably minded cops that murdered George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr <\/strong>released to justice to face punitive consequences. It does not matter from which angle you view the recorded videos of this American government caused tragedy, the thin blue line of the ‘us versus them’ police-community mentality has set the stage for an unprecedented broad movement for Municipal Reconstruction throughout America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire USA populace and most of the world has reviewed and analyzed the police powers and intervention techniques used on George Perry Floyd Jr<\/strong> on May 25, 2020. In doing so, it may be gainful to supplement the review and analysis calling into mind America’s September 22, 1862 legislative proclamation; “\u2026 thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons [enslaved blacks], and will do no<\/strong> act or acts to repress<\/strong> such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet still, some one hundred and sixty years later, on May 25th, designated as Memorial Day of recognition in the year 2020, honoring USA military service personnel that gave their all for America’s idea of freedom for true domestic civil rights were invalidated for George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong>, who plausibly died before our eyes for greater liberty for all. George Perry Floyd Jr <\/strong>was killed <\/strong>void of his country’s civil liberties, at the hands of his government\u2019s sanctioned militia law enforcement personnel, despite the perpetrators that represent the Minneapolis municipal police department’s motto to: “Protect with Courage, To Serve with Compassion”<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In time, there were four (4) officers that responded to the non-violent police call of an alleged $20 counterfeit bill violation. From the initial encounter with George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong>, the first two (2) responding officers showed disrespect to humanity and contempt for the law by brandishing their lethal pistol and hard steel baton flashlight into the face of George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong>. The municipal servants\u2019 contempt for human life was so awful that the reason for the call had zero bearing on the actions taken throughout the tormented detainment of George Perry Floyd<\/strong>, Jr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, just pause for a moment and visualize that the alleged law infraction was for passing a $20 bill that was offered by the store clerk to be replaced with his good $20 bill to extend kindness. But, for discussion let us pretend that a good $20 was originally in play for shopping for something other than a pack of cigarettes. In today’s available goods one can easily buy a yoga mat bag, or an ingredient measuring cup set, or a zombie board game, two (2) stainless steel pineapple corers, or perhaps an Indoor HDTV Antenna. This brief pretense serves to generate a visualization for how twenty dollars in no conceivable way elevates this governmental police call as a crime for the ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that this public service call showed the government’s police department was reprehensible and violently negligent in serving its citizenry. In the minds of humans from around the world, the public service call inevitably validated and\/or changed belief on the fairness afforded people (humanity) living in low- to moderate-income communities, particularly when a call for service ends with an unfathomable murder under the color of law<\/a> over a goddamn<\/em> twenty dollar bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Over There<\/strong>” is a 1917 song written by George M. Cohan<\/a> that was popular with the United States military<\/a> and public during both world wars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1917, a very popular song with the United States military and public during both world wars, is “Over There”<\/em>. This song was written by George M. Cohan, and the chorus that follows two verses is;
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks<\/a> are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere.
So prepare, say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware \u2013
We’ll be over, we’re coming over,
And we won’t come back till it’s over, over there.<\/em>
The government of America sends a constant message to its militia that there is a there, and domestically the there is here, reside in lesser desirable communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
