The People and the Police (1971) | feat. Marion Barry

Фильм және анимация

From the US National Archives.
Documents the early, turbulent years of OEO'S experiment in police-community relations in Washington, DC R.1: Police and citizens express their attitudes toward each other. A citizens committee is appointed by the D.C. government, but dissension ensues over control of the program. Project director, Robert Shallow addresses the group; community leader Marion Barry urges citizen control, A pilot precinct is finally selected. R. 2: Police engage in training sessions, and community leaders struggle to replace the committee with elected representatives. A citizens' board is elected and the white project leader is replaced by a black official, Fred Lander. R. 3: Dissension between OEO and the community continues, but several programs including citizen riders, an emergency center, local police recruiting and an escort service, get underway. The board continues to struggle, and the program is refunded. At the films close, a small boy expresses his bitterness towards the police."

    Seconding for the same reason. This needs to be seen by our White and Aboriginal mob in Australia. Except unlike our coloured Brothers and Sisters in the US, we are way behind but given we were under the Government’s ‘flora and Fauna’ Act. rather than considered humans until 1969, I fear we have another 50yrs to go.

    Our people were together in those days, everybody on one accord, in harmony with one another, the 70's was the best decade of my life, i love my black brothers and sisters but i dislike what we've become as a people, it saddens me to see how we have been mistreated and disrespected for so long and it saddens me even more to see the animalistic behavior being displayed by our younger bloods of today, may the creator help us all!

    I've lived in D.C. the majority of my life and never knew the story of that Commission. I was only 3 or 4 years old during the making of this video, but I remember Marion Barry later as Mayor. He was well loved and really supported the black community. I had summer jobs with his Youth Employment Program and became a better man because of it. Awesome video of D.C. history. I find it interesting that as the years pass and the people and scenery change, the less relevant social issues follow suit. The people and the police still have the same problems.

    Community policing is only half of the equation. We have our "liabilities" that need to be quarantined away from the productive assets of the community too, and the police are responsible for that under witness of the people and a prudent, responsive judicial system. These liabilities need to be off the streets and away from terrorizing society.

Some of my family lived in D.C. at that time and I'm sure knew about Marion and what he did for the community at that time. I remember when Marion Barry was elected mayor in 1978. He had started a summer jobs program, had implemented programs to help seniors, started rent control, established universal health care and other programs to help the poor.

    It's good to see the inner workings of the local political process that only a fraction of the people ever bear witness to. It's frustrating to watch all the distrust and anger on the part of the citizens, but it's easy to understand why it exists. You can't expect people to just let it all go when the government throws a new program in front of them, their right to a redress of their grievances doesn't just go away.

    I don't agree that racism is a sickness you can't get rid of. That's a choice. I was a tall white boy, a target, just outside the DC city limits. Oxen Hill. Went through the whole bussing thing. Some of my best friends in school were brown- black. It's the spirit and soul of a person that attracts me. Not the color of someone's skin. I had crushes on girls that were not white. Even though there were people that hated me because I was white I never judged all of that ethnicity. That would be racism, that is a choice, not a decease that won't go away. We have to make choices in life and racism is one of those choices. My opinion, if you choose to be a racist, you loose.
