It’s time that the society must understand the police are committing daily the most heinous crimes to vulnerable citizens across the country. Their psychopathic minds and state of terror involving brutality and assassinations are causing people to live in fear, not to mention also the police forces that should serve and protect us.

LIVE: Const. James Forcillo to get at least 5 years in Sammy Yatim shooting
Judge rejects defence argument that mandatory minimum sentence is unconstitutional, says he has no choice but to sentence Toronto police officer to at least five years in prison.

Toronto police Const. James Forcillo must be sentenced to at least five years in prison for the attempted murder of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim on an empty Dundas streetcar in July 2013, a judge ruled Thursday.
Justice Edward Then is delivering the sentence in a Toronto courtroom now. 
Forcillo faced a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for attempted murder with a restricted firearm.
Then began his decision by rejecting an argument that the mandatory minimum sentence violates Forcillo’s constitutional rights. 
 The defence had argued the minimum sentence is unconstitutional since Forcillo was acting in “excessive self-defence” while carrying out his duties as a police officer. They said the mandatory minimum sentence should be overturned so Forcillo can serve a two-year sentence on house arrest. 
The Crown had asked for a sentence of eight to 10 years, arguing that Forcillo failed in his duty of care to Yatim by not using the de-escalation techniques he was trained in. 
Forcillo and his partner were the first officers to arrive at the streetcar after police received a call about a young man with a knife on a streetcar.
At the end of a minute-long standoff that lasted less than a minute and captured on security and bystander videos, Forcillo shot Yatim three times, paused for five seconds, then shot him again six times.
The first set of shots struck Yatim in his spine, paralyzing him, in his arm and, fatally, in his heart. Of the second volley, five out of six shots struck Yatim’s lower body as he lay dying on the floor of the streetcar.
After a four-month trial that ended in January, a jury acquitted Forcillo of second-degree murder, finding the first round of shots was justifiable or in self-defence. However, they found him guilty of attempted murder for the second round of shots – a set of verdicts described by many as a “compromise.”

Forcillo has already filed a notice of appeal for his conviction. The appeal argues that the jury should not have been allowed to consider the murder charge and attempted murder as separate offences because both charges stem from one continuous act, and as result the verdicts are inconsistent.
Warning: Graphic content. Toronto police officer James Forcillo found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter after firing two volleys of shots at knife-wielding 18-year-old Sammy Yatim in empty streetcar.
The appeal also argued that Then erred by refusing to allow the defence to present certain pieces of evidence to the jury, including testimony on “suicide-by-cop.”

It’s time that the society must understand the police are committing daily the most heinous crimes to vulnerable citizens across the country. Their psychopathic minds and state of terror involving brutality and assassinations are causing people to live in fear, not to mention also the police forces that should serve and protect us.

RELIGION VERSUS MARXISM (Part 2)

                    

“Life is not Determined by Consciousness, but Consciousness by Life”
(Holy Family by Karl Marx 1844)

By ElizabethH. Elys
Social conditions are subject to constant change, even so-called “traditional” societies where the pace of change may seem slow by urban standard, this dynamic element in the social system must be taken into account when preparing management or development measure. Awareness of this historical element is important. The patterns of settlement, changes in population, the arrival and departure of individuals and ethnic, professional or socio-economic groups, the history and development of formal and informal community, institutions and changes in the structure of power and decision making responsibility will all influence the current state of resources and how they are used.

The cultural and political history has an important effect on Philosophy and Religion.
Human being exist as a community, and what makes human life possible is our mutual dependence on the vast network of social and economic relations which engulf us all, even though this is rarely acknowledged in our day-to day life. At first it is deviously acknowledged by religion, which creates a false idea of a community in which we are equal in the eyes of God. But state and religion will both be transcended when a genuine community of social and economic equal is created.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe!!! You have to make it fall?

A Philosophy searches and question to get the right and logical answers, does not accept everything as a religion does unless it has a logical reason behind it. 
 
A religion preaches its followers what they should do, what they should not do. Often a religion presents rewards and punishments. 
Philosophy is, in fact, construed to be Way of Thinking. This is the reason why philosophers are called THINKERS, whereas propagators of religion are called LEADERS.
One of the most important thinkers of 19th century was Karl Marx (1818-1883), also is best known as a revolutionary, whose works inspired the foundation of many communists regimes in the 20th century.
Together with Friedrich Engels, he developed the system of THOUGHT, especially the doctrines that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change and the capitalism will inevitably be superseded by socialist order and classless society. In Marx’s view, religion operates as an ideological weapon use by the ruling class to justify the suffering of the poor as something inevitable and God given. Religion misleads the poor into believing that their suffering is virtuous and they will be favorited in the afterlife. Such beliefs create a false consciousness. 
Marx sees religion us the product of alienation. It arises out of suffering and acts as a consolation for it, but fails to deal with its cause namely class exploitation. Marx shows how religion may be a tool of oppression that masks exploitation and creates a false consciousness. 
The aim of Marxists is to fight for the socialist transformation of society on national and international scale. Marxists believe that it is the duty of any humane person to support the fight against such a system which involves untold misery, disease, oppression and death for millions of people in the world. Marxists welcome the opportunity of dialogue between Marxists and Christians, Muslims and other groups. 
Marxism began as a philosophy: Dialectical Materialism, it is a method of argument for resolving disagreement. The word Dialectic originated in ancient Greece, and was made popular by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. Dialectics is a method of thinking and interpreting the world of both nature and society.       

Marx stated his belief that the proletariat must itself be the agent of revolutionary change in society. In the year 1848, he wrote COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, a masterpiece of political propaganda which ends with the celebrated rallying-cry: The Workers have Nothing to Lose but their Chains. They have a world to win. “WORKERS OF ALL LANDS UNITE”


Magnum Opus DAS KAPITAL, Marx established the materialist interpretation of history, it is one of the most influential works of the 19th century. He developed his mature doctrines of the theory of surplus value, class conflict and the exploitation of the working class and predicted the victory of socialism over capitalism and the ultimate withering away of the state as the classless society of communism were achieved. 


Despite the apparent failure of Marxian principles as practiced in communist Europe, his theories still exert an enormous influence in social science, and his secular adherents continue to outnumber the followers of many other religious or political creeds.
