Jordan Miles, Honor Student Brutally Beaten by Police, Speaks for the First Time
For the first time since January 12, 2010 when the Pittsburgh Police brutally beat innocent and unarmed honor student Jordan Miles until he looked like this:
Jordan Miles publicly speaks about the brutality he suffered and his pursuit of justice
In a article from the Pittsburgh City Paper, Jordan Miles answers questions about how he felt when the Police Officers who brutally beat him were quickly reinstated and when Police Chief Nate Harper called his senseless beating, “a teachable moment”:
When Police Chief Nate Harper announced that the officers would be going back to work, he said there was no evidence that there was any wrongful conduct on their part. He also said he’s “very comfortable” bringing the officers back. How comfortable are you?
I’m not comfortable at all. They can do [what they did to me] to just about anybody. … I don’t see any reason for them to go to the level of brutality given to me. Those cops, they are brutal and they were wrong. And I would really like it for them not to be back on the streets.
Harper called the incident a “teachable moment,” and said, “We would hope that young people realize that when a police officer approaches them, and they’ve done nothing wrong, to see what the police officer wants instead of running away.” What’s your reaction?
When I first heard that, it almost made me want to laugh, because he said that statement as if I knew that these were cops. If I knew that these were undercover cops, then I would have obliged to anything that they asked for. … [T]he fact that they did not identify themselves as cops was the reason why I ran away. If they did, then I would have obliged. I don’t know if he believes that I did not know that these were cops or not, but he’s speaking as if I did, and [saying] I ran as if I felt like I was guilty of committing a crime.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette illustrator Rob Rogers’ cartoon say it all
Lastly, One Hood and X-Clan founding member Paradise Gray lays out the demands for Justice from the community and his opinion of Chief Harper’s controversial comments
It seems that crimes against humanity are being justified repeatedly in favor of police brutality. It still is the slave masters whip being lashed against the people. What White America fails to realize is that what atrocities that are left to go unchecked will soon be used against them with greater intensity in the future. Blacks have been used as guinea pigs to support the master plan.

I don’t see this as being about racism. In my opinion, this is about psychopaths.
One out of 24 people are psychopaths and the jobs they choose are usually where they can use power to hurt people.
I am not saying that the cops were not racists, I AM saying they were OBVIOUSLY evil and Police Chief Nate– another psychopath.
ALL should be removed from law enforcement and put in jail.
If I was this young man’s mother, I would want them executed. I am not so sure that they don’t deserve that.
Rid society of the lot of them.
The only good thing from this that I can see is that we now have identified this group.

I lost a brother in law, Charles Dixon to the same police brutality. This horrific cycle of police brutality by the Pittsburg police will continue until police officers are held accountable for there actions. My heart goes out to Jordan Miles and his family.

I know this is not PC, but until african-americans are wllling to vote for other than the usual democrat nothing will change.I mean what incentive do they have to change. They know no matter what they do or allow to be done to you, they have your vote. Start giving votes to the othe side and see how fast you start getting responses to your grievences. Or keep voting year after year for democrat candidates and accept your beatings.
