He died in police custody on January 21 after being shot nine times with a taser gun while in handcuffs. The city police chief initially claimed that Pikes was high on crack cocaine and PCP at the time of his death. But the coroner recently ruled Pikes' death to be a homicide, after an autopsy determined there were no drugs in his system. The coroner also determined that the police shot Pikes twice after he lost consciousness. We speak with Chicago Tribune reporter Howard Witt, who broke the story nationally; Kayshon Collins, Baron Pikes' stepmother; and Winnfield Police Lieutenant Charles Curry.

I remember in the early days of the campaign as a volunteer how hard it was to get a crowd, so I want to start tonight by thanking each of you for coming. I know you had somewhere else to be tonight, a family member to be with, a business to run, a church to attend . . . I always felt that most people in America would only know us by long distance, they'd never come here themselves . . . tonight I want to thank Louisiana for coming to help Louisiana. I want to thank my church; the good Methodists in Baton Rouge [one person cheering]. For the day of the storm getting in their boots and their pickup trucks and bringing their boats . . . I love John McCain. When he came to New Orleans after the storm, you know what he said, don't you? He said, never, ever again will the federal government be as unprepared, as unfocused, as unready as they were that day . . . he promised. That's a commitment [applause]. How do you pick a president? . . . if you can only choose one? I have an old test. It comes from a guy who carved dogs out of pine stumps . . . a woman and her kids came to watch him . . . and she asked, how do you do it? He said it's easy. I get up every morning, I thank the lord for my life, I sharpen my knife . . . and I carve away everything that doesn't look like a dog [laughter]. How do you pick a president?

Tonight, we can say with confidence the primary season is over, and the general election campaign has begun. I commend both Senators Obama and Clinton for the long, hard race they have run. Senator Obama has impressed many Americans with his eloquence and his spirited campaign. Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans, and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes received. As the father of three daughters, I owe her a debt for inspiring millions of women to believe there is no opportunity in this great country beyond their reach. I am proud to call her my friend. Pundits and party elders have declared that Senator Obama will be my opponent. He will be a formidable o ne. But I'm ready for the challenge, and determined to run this race in a way that does credit to our campaign and to the proud, decent and patriotic people I ask to lead.</p> <p>The decision facing Americans in this election couldn't be more important to the future security and prosperity of American families. This is, indeed, a change election." </p> <p>LABEL: JM LA 6-3 (EW#11) SUT-Part 2</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/l8zudvh2cg</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/un8k4560o4</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43739-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43738-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08 2008-06-30T23:37:18Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPcCvQdux3s&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPcCvQdux3s&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43738-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50077" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Speech <br />Kenner, LA 06/03/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "No matter who wins this election, the direction of this country is going to change dramatically. But, the choice is between the right change and the wrong change. . .</p> <p>America has seen tough times before. We've always known how to get through them. . . . But we must rise to the occasion, as we always have; change what must be changed . . .</p> <p>The right change recognizes that many of the policies and institutions of our government have failed. They have failed to keep up with the challenges of our time because many of these policies were designed for the problems and opportunities of the mid to late 20th Century . . . The right kind of change will initiate widespread and innovative reforms in almost every area of government policy — health care, energy, the environment, the tax code, our public schools, our transportation system, disaster relief, government spending and regulation, diplomacy, the military and intelligence services. . .</p> <p>. . . those changes have distressed many American families — job loss, failing schools, prohibitively expensive health care, pensions at risk, entitlement programs approaching bankruptcy, rising gas and food prices, to name a few. But your government often acts as if it is completely unaware of the changes and hardships in your lives. And when government does take notice, often it only makes matters worse. . . . The right change will stop impeding Americans from doing what they have always done: overcome every obstacle to our progress, turn challenges into opportunities, and by our own industry, imagination and courage make a better country and a safer world th an we inherited.</p> <p>. . . we have to rethink, reform and reinvent: the way we educate our children; train our workers; deliver health care services; support retirees; fuel our transportation network; stimulate research and development; and harness new technologies.</p> <p>[...]</p> <p>We must also prepare, far better than we have, to respond quickly and effectively to a natural calamity. When Americans confront a catastrophe they have a right to expect basic competence from their government. Firemen and policemen should be able to communicate with each other in an emergency. We should be able to deliver hot water to dehydrated babies and rescue the infirm from a hospital with no electricity. Our disgraceful failure to do so here in New Orleans exposed the incompetence of government at all levels to meet even its most basic responsibilities.</p> <p>The wrong change looks not to the future but to the past for solutions that have failed us before and will surely fail us again. . . Like others before him, [Obama] seems to think government is the answer to every problem; that government should take our resources and make our decisions for us. That type of change doesn't trust Americans to know what is right or what is in their own best interests. . . . And that's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>You will hear from my opponent's campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I'm running for President Bush's third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy. Why does Senator Obama believe it's so important to repeat that idea over and over again? Because he knows it's very difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false. So he tries to drum it into your minds by constantly repeating it rather than debate honestly the very different directions he and I would take the country. But the American people didn't get to know me yesterday, as they are just getting to know Senator Obama. They know I have a long record of bipartisan problem solving. They've seen me put our country before any President — before any party — before any special interest — before my own interest. They might think me an imperfect servant of our country, which I surely am. . . </p> <p>I have worked with the President to keep our nation safe. . . . We've disagreed over the conduct of the war in Iraq and the treatment of detainees; over out of control government spending and budget gimmicks; over energy policy and climate change; over defense spending that favored defense contractors over the public good.</p> <p>I disagreed strongly with the Bush administration's mismanagement of the war in Iraq. I called for the change in strategy that is now, at last, succeeding where the previous strategy had failed miserably. I was criticized for doing so by Republicans. I was criticized by Democrats. I was criticized by the press. But I don't answer to them. I answer to you."</p> <p>LABEL: JM LA 6-3 (EW#11) SUT-Part 1</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/uim4nujy88</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/un8k4560o4</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43738-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43737-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08 2008-06-30T23:37:15Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7LIEFUjm3lU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7LIEFUjm3lU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43737-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50076" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Speech <br />Kenner, LA 06/03/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "And I would be ashamed to admit I knew what had to be done in Iraq to spare us from a defeat that would endanger us for years, but I kept quiet because it was too politically hard for me to do. <br />Senator Obama opposed the new strategy, and, after promising not to, voted to deny funds to the soldiers who have done a brilliant and brave job of carrying it out. Yet in the last year. violence has fallen to a four year low; Sunni insurgents have joined us in the fight against al Qaeda; the Iraqi Army has taken the lead in places. and the Iraqi Government has begun to make progress toward political reconciliation. <br />None of this progress would have happened had we not changed course over a year ago. And all of this progress would be lost if Senator Obama had his way and began to withdraw our forces from Iraq. Americans ought to be concerned about the judgment of a presidential candidate who says he's ready to talk, in person and without conditions, with tyrants, but hasn't traveled to Iraq to meet with General Petraeus. <br />I don't oppose a reckless withdrawal from Iraq because I'm indifferent to the suffering war inflicts on too many American families. I hate war. But I know, too, that the course Senator Obama advocates could draw us into a wider war.</p> <p>I take America's economic security as seriously as I do her physical security. For eight years the federal government has been on a spending spree. It spends more and more of your money on programs that have failed again and again to keep up. Extravagant spending, indebts us to other nations; fuels inflation; raises interest rates; and encourages irresponsibility. I have opposed wasteful spending by both parties and the Bush administration. Senator Obama has supported it and proposed more of his own. I want to freeze discretionary spending until we have completed top to bottom reviews of all federal programs to weed out failing ones. Senator Obama opposes that reform. I opposed subsidies that favor big business over small farmers and tariffs on imported products that have greatly increased the cost of food. Senator Obama supports these billions of dollars in corporate subsidies and the tariffs that have led to rising grocery bills for American families. That's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>No problem is more urgent today than America's dependence on foreign oil. The next President must be willing to break completely with the energy policies not just of the Bush Administration, but the administrations that preceded his, and lead a great national campaign to put us on a course to energy independence. We must industries to pursue alternative, non-polluting and renewable energy sources, where demand will never exceed supply.</p> <p>Senator Obama voted for the same policies that created the problem. In fact, he voted for the energy bill promoted by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, which gave even more breaks to the oil industry. I opposed it because I know we won't achieve energy independence by repeating the mistakes of the last half century. That's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>With forward thinking Democrats and Republicans, I proposed a climate change policy that would greatly reduce our dependence on oil. Our approach was opposed by President Bush, and by leading Democrats. Republicans and those that favor Democrats. Senator Obama might criticize special interests that give more money to Republicans. But you won't often see him take on those that favor him. If America is going to achieve energy independence, we need a President with a record of putting the nation's interests before the special interests of either party. </p> <p>Senator Obama proposes to keep spending money on programs that make our problems worse. He plans to pay for these increases by raising taxes on seniors, parents, small business owners and every American with even a modest investment in the market. He doesn't trust us to make decisions for ourselves and wants the government to make them for us. And that's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>[...]</p> <p>LABEL: JM LA 6-3 (EW#11) SUT-Part 4</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/93kdjgbac0</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/un8k4560o4</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43737-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43736-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08 2008-06-30T23:37:13Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b2kltw147h4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b2kltw147h4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43736-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50075" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Speech <br />Kenner, LA 06/03/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "But he feels he must defer to the special interests that support him. That's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>Lowering trade barriers to American goods and services creates more and better jobs; keeps inflation under control; keeps interest rates low; and makes more goods affordable to more Americans. . . We'll succeed by knowing what to produce and inventing new technologies to produce it.</p> <p>. . . Work in America is more than a paycheck; it a source of pride, self-reliance and identity. But making empty promises to bring back lost jobs gives nothing to the unemployed worker except false hope. That's not change we can believe in. Reforming from top to bottom unemployment insurance . . . making use of our community colleges to train people for new opportunities will help workers who've lost a job that won't come back, find a job that won't go away.</p> <p>My friends, we're not a country that would rather go back than forward. . . But if we're going to lead, we have to reform a government that has lost its ability to help us do so. . .In just a few years in office, Senator Obama has accumulated the most liberal voting record in the Senate. But the old, tired, big government policies he seeks to dust off and call new won't work in a world that has changed dramatically since they were last tried and failed. That's not change we can believe in.</p> <p>The sweeping reforms of government we need won't occur unless we change the political habits of Washington that have locked us in an endless cycle of bickering and stalemate. Washington is consumed by a hyper-partisanship that treats every serious issue as an opportunity to trade insults; impugn each other's motives; and fight about the next election. . .The American people know it's not on the level. For all the problems we face, what frustrates them most about Washington is they don't think we're capable of serving the public interest before our personal ambitions; that we fight for ourselves and not for them. They are sick of the politics of selfishness, stalemate and delay, and they have every right to be. We have to change not only government policies that have failed them, but the political culture that produced them.</p> <p>Both Senator Obama and I promise we will end Washington's stagnant, unproductive partisanship. But one of us has a record of working to do that and one of us doesn't. Americans have seen me put aside partisan and personal interests to move this country forward. They haven't seen Senator Obama do the same. For all his fine words and all his promise, he has never taken the hard but right course of risking his own interests for yours; of standing against the partisan rancor on his side to stand up for our country. He is an impressive man, who makes a great first impression. But he hasn't been willing to make the tough calls; to challenge his party; to risk criticism from his supporters to bring real change to Washington. I have.</p> <p>When members of my party refused to compromise not on principle but for partisanship, I have sought to do so. When I fought corruption it didn't matter to me if the culprits were Democrats or Republicans. I exposed it and let the chips fall where they may. When I worked on campaign finance and ethics reform, I did so with Democrats and Republicans, even though we were criticized by other members of our parties, who preferred to keep things as they were. I have never refused to work with Democrats simply for the sake of partisanship. I've always known we belong to different parties, not different countries. We are Americans before we are anything else.</p> <p>I don't seek the presidency on the presumption I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save my country in its hour of need. I seek the office with the humility of a man who cannot forget my country saved me. I'll reach out my hand to anyone, Republican or Democrat, who will help me change what needs to be changed; fix what needs to be fixed; and give this country a government as capable and good as the people it is supposed to serve. There is a time to campaign, and a time to govern. If I'm elected President, the era of the permanent campaign of the last sixteen years will end. The era of reform and problem solving will begin. From my first day in office, I'll work with anyone to make America safe, prosperous and proud. And I won't care who gets the credit as long as America gets the benefit. <br />[...] <br />Thank you."</p> <p>LABEL: JM LA 6-3 (EW#11) SUT-Part 5</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/8i9ekkjk08</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/un8k4560o4</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43736-john-mccain-speech-06-03-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43205-gov-bobby-chemical-castration-jindal-r-la 2008-07-15T08:46:10Z tpmtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/e6M9dBsUhyo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e6M9dBsUhyo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43205-gov-bobby-chemical-castration-jindal-r-la"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/49367" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>I noted before our <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/201790.php">strong affinity</a> for Mitt Romney as McCain&#39;s veep.

Volunteers up and down the river in Illinois and Missouri joined sandbagging operations in the frantic effort to contain the Mississippi as forecasters predicted near-record crests from Quincy, Ill., to Winfield, Mo. &quot;There&#39;s one thing about Midwesterners,&quot; said Don Giltner, mayor of Louisiana, Mo., a picturesque river town north of St. Louis where 40 square blocks were under water Wednesday, three days before the Mississippi&#39;s expected crest. &quot;We&#39;re resilient as hell. We&#39;re all worn out. We&#39;ve put in a lot of long days.&quot; Storms and flooding across six states this month have killed 24 people, injured 148 and caused more than $1.5 billion in estimated damage in Iowa alone &mdash; a figure that&#39;s likely to increase as river levels climb in Missouri and Illinois. More at Yahoo News... ---- I praise the resilience of these fine folks but unlike Limbaugh I don&#39;t need to thoroughly damn other American victims in order to give them praise. thethinkingblue --------- On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated coastal areas of the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, including the city of New Orleans. It was among the greatest of natural disasters to ever strike the United States. Katrina, which cut across Florida, had intensified into a Category 5 storm over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, reaching top winds of 175 mph (282 kph) before weakening as it neared the coast. Windspeeds over 140 mph (225 kph) were recorded at landfall in southeastern Louisiana while winds gusted to over 100 mph (160 kph) in New Orleans, just west of the eye. As the hurricane made its second landfall on the Mississippi/Louisiana border, windspeeds were approximately 125 mph (200 kph). Gusts of over 80 mph (129 kph) were recorded in Mobile and 90 mph (145 kph) in Biloxi, MS. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so true, but words are important just the same. What is happening in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast region, is beyond pictures and beyond words. To see the human suffering, live on your TV and not see any help, has to be one of the most calloused happening of our time! Right here in America, the land of plenty, it is completely horrendous and unbelievable. The babies, old people, desperate mothers, hungry, thirsty little children and the dead bodies floating in the sludge mixture of the Pontchartrain river and filthy debris left in the storm&#39;s wake, played out a nightmare scenario that no movie set could have duplicated with more heart wrenching agony. All of us, who watched our TV screens displaying the suffering of people searing in the heat of the smoldering, hot southern sun, felt so helpless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now, Limbaugh, an arrogant ideologue that loves Howard Kurtz and hates the black victims of NOLA. He wants you to understand, it was all their fault for not escaping Hurricane Katrina! Wake, up! You drive by media fools. They were lazy, lazy people that deserved their fate. If only they were white and responsible. Just listen to this horrific rant as Limbaugh is all &#39;agush&#39; with admiration over the way in which Iowa and the Midwest has responded to the flood disaster that befell the area last week. But to just congratulate the residents in their determination and courage in fighting the disaster isn&#39;t enough for the AM talk blow hard. Limbaugh could not pass up the opportunity to once again trot out his old, well known disdain for poor blacks in the south who were victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. To hear Limbaugh describe it, Iowa is more American, more honorable ... you know ... more white than Louisiana.

Osborne Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, Richard Thompson Ford has published regularly on civil rights, constitutional law, race relations, and antidiscrimination law. In his new book, he asks what Katrina victims waiting for federal disaster relief, millionaire rappers buying vintage champagne, Ivy League professors waiting for taxis, and ghetto hustlers trying to find steady work have in common, and answers that all have claimed to be victims of racism.</p> <p>Few people these days express openly racist beliefs or defend bigoted motives. So lots of people are victims of bigotry, but no one's a bigot? Ford considers whether a lot of people are lying about their true beliefs and motivations, or if a lot of people are jumping to unwarranted conclusions or just playing the race card.</p> <p>Ford brings sophisticated legal analysis, lively and eye-popping anecdotes, and plain old common sense to this heated topic, offering ways to separate valid claims from bellyaching, and calling for us to treat racism as a social problem that must be objectively understood and honestly evaluated - Cody's Books</p> </div> <a href="/blog/29668-segregation-s-legacy-and-the-katrina-disaster">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/29265-gulf-coast-trailers-toxic-being-evacuated 2008-02-14T16:26:14Z GottaLaff <div class="post_content"> <p><p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080214/ap_on_he_me/toxic_trailers">This</a> is mind-boggling, nausea-inducing, and once again, head-exploding:</p><blockquote><p>U.S. health officials are urging that Gulf Coast<strong> hurricane victims be moved out of their government-issued trailers as quickly as possible after tests found toxic levels of formaldehyde fumes.</strong></p><p><strong>Fumes from 519 trailer and mobile homes in <span class="yshortcuts">Louisiana</span> and <span class="yshortcuts">Mississippi</span> were &mdash; on average &mdash; about five times </strong>what people are exposed to in most modern homes, according to the <span class="yshortcuts">U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</span>. <strong>In some trailers, the levels were nearly 40 times customary exposure levels,</strong> raising fears that residents could contract respiratory problems.</p><p>The <span class="yshortcuts">Federal Emergency Management Agency</span> &mdash; which supplied the trailers &mdash; should move people out quickly, with priority given to families with children, elderly people or anyone with asthma or other chronic conditions, said Mike McGeehin, director of a CDC division that focuses on environmental hazards.</p><p>&quot;<strong>We do not want people exposed to this for very much longer</strong>,&quot; McGeehin said.</p></blockquote> <p>That last point was an understatement.
