THE CONVERSATION AMERICA HAS BEEN WAITING FOR:POLICE KILLING BLACK MALES

TUESDAY – MARCH 7, 2017

John Sutton Jermaine Wyrick

Special Guests: John Sutton, former special agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)

Attorney Jermaine Wyrick, J.D.

Over the past several years we have seen a significant increase in the shooting and killing of black males.  According to a tracker by the Washington Post, 232 black people were shot and killed by police in 2016 alone, and 34% of the unarmed people killed in 2016 were black.  (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2016/) In almost all of these killings, no charges were brought against the officers involved, or the charges were dismissed.  Even with video evidence, the criminal justice system has failed to effectively investigate and prosecute officers involved in these killings. The purpose of this program is not to bash the police, because we unequivocally support those police officers who put their lives on the line every day to fulfill their oath to serve and protect their communities.  However, it is obvious that there are serious problems in some police departments and with some police officers.  That is what this program will discuss, featuring Mr. John Sutton, a former U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency senior executive and California law enforcement officer and attorney Jermaine Wyrick, a leading civil rights attorney from Detroit and a member of the Michigan Bar Association.  The goal of this program is to find a way to restore trust between the police and the communities they serve.

Principal Consultant – Career Advisors

Looking for a job is a lot more daunting today than it was in the past because of employers using social media, video interviews, group interviews, outsourcing through private employment agencies and other methods to weed out applicants whom they feel do not qualify. The human factor in many cases has been eliminated. Whether you are a graduate just out of college, middle-aged or a senior looking to advance your career or looking for a new career, or someone who has been displaced as a result of layoff or merger, how do you navigate through the complex maze of eliminators in order to successfully compete for a job? We call on an expert in career planning and development to assist with this important program, Ms. Terry Pile, M.Ed., GCDF, and owner of Career Advisors in Seattle, Washington. Ms. Pile is one of the foremost authorities on career planning in America and has been a regular contributor and adviser to our empowerment magazine, The College World Reporter for years. Ms. Pile will share her thoughts about opportunities that workers may be overlooking, and the best ways to prepare and compete for employment.

That is exactly what we will be discussing with mental health expert Dr. Alduan Tartt during this program. Dr. Tartt is a licensed psychologist.

As each year goes by, race relations in America become more strained and more complicated. Over the past several years we have seen a significant increase in the shooting and killing of black males. According to a tracker by the Washington Post, 232 black people were shot and killed by police in 2016 alone, and 34% of the unarmed people killed in 2016 were black. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2016/) In almost all of these killings, no charges were brought against the officers involved, or the charges were dismissed. Even with video evidence, the criminal justice system has failed to effectively investigate and prosecute officers involved in these killings. During this program, we will discuss where we go from here in community relations with the police, the threats of violence to minorities from hate crimes, how to come together and overcome distrust among the diverse racial groups and religious groups in America, diversity management, and more.
