Political analyst Dmitry Drobnitsky told AiF.ru what fate awaits city Ferguson after the riots and who is trying to benefit on the death of Michael Brown.
November 24th jury indemnify police Darren Wilson, who in August has shot 18-year-old African-American Michael Brown. Acquittal sparked massive protests and riots. The family of the deceased, as well as thousands of protesters, convinced that the slaying was racially motivated entirely and wasn't investigated properly. Is it possible to re-examine the case which is already closed,AiF.ru asked political analyst Dmitry Drobnitsky.
Natalia Kozhina, AiF.ru: Dmitry, in your opinion, what are the real sources of disturbances occurring in Ferguson? Expert opinion is divided. Some say that all the fault of systematic discrimination of the black population. Others - that the reason lies in too much love for looting in the African-American population.
Dmitry Drobnitsky: I think the truth lies somewhere in between. But, in my opinion, there is one more important reason is much more serious, systemic. The ones not working Americans who live in disadvantaged circumstances are core electorate of the Democratic Party of the USA. In particular, its left wing, which is presented, in particular by the current president - Barack Obama. This situation is not new and has developed since the days of Franklin Roosevelt, after the Second World War. If you look at all the statistics of the elections,which have won or, on the contrary, the Democrats lost, we can see that the main voters for Democrats are various kinds of minorities, including the urban color people,who often live on welfare in poor social conditions. Playing the race card does not happen the first time and is very actively used by left-liberal media, activists and preachers. They have filled this little fire with aviation turbine fuel and made this fire.

- This story is not prominent. Than indicative Ferguson? There's still before the real data were presented to the Grand Jury, the media have made their conclusion: the unfortunate unarmed teenager (although he was 18 years old) was killed by a monster, police shot in the back. In Cleveland, the situation is complicated, but it is extremely clear: the boy was holding a copy of military weapons, which, accordingly, should have a special identification red cap by American laws, which for some reason was absent. Next question is very simple: how could a police officer to assess the situation and act differently? If the weapon was in the hands of an adult, it would not cause any doubts. In general, it seems to me that what happened will not cause of resonance that we observe in Ferguson, though, of course, this case will be separated by commas media mention. Ferguson - a clear indication that the administration of the outgoing president, not him personally, and his party again grabs the racial question, every time as it is losing. In Missouri, where the tragedy occurred, from eight seats in the House of Representatives six in the last election took republican conservatives. In 2016 he was elected governor. Who is the candidate of the Democratic Party? Attorney of Missouri. This is only a political thing, and you can only sympathize with the family of Michael Brown. Parents first lost him when he appeared drives for drugs as a case of bad parenting, and it ten minutes before the slaying, as you know, he looted shops; then their son was killed in a clash with police, after that since August his name continues to be used as a banner of all this frenzied campaign against alleged racist conservatives.
- The family of the deceased is hoping for a retrial of the case, as it likely?
- Today, on a formal basis in the American online edition published all testimony and evidence that was presented to the Grand Jury. I read them, and although I'm not a lawyer by education, but people with knowledge of the common law, with whom I spoke, believe that there is no fish to catch. But what possible steps purely legal: federal attempt proceedings because the FBI from the start to spend their independent investigation, then, in theory, it could lead to federal charges. This is evidenced by US Attorney General Eric Holder. But the likelihood is that the court will deal with the matter is extremely small. There is another option: an attempt to prosecute police or the police department, it would be probably more correctly, as a civil lawsuit. But here again, the family's lawyer will need to prove that there is no double jeopardy. That makes it difficult. In my opinion, all the talk about the possibility of continuing consideration of this case at a legal level are politically motivated. And more stress if it will be parsed again, the complete details of life Michael Brown (and we already know that he was not such a good boy, how they try to present it) is very likely to further hurt the family. But, alas, they are pushing to take this step.
- For the head of the police promised $ 5,000. Do you think he will live and work?
- Of course, in the Fergusonit will be extremely difficult to work for him. In general, after rioters smashed a good half of the existing businesses there, the good citizens of all races and nationalities will try to go elsewhere, and Ferguson will be as a ghost town like Detroit. Left-liberal get-together smashed it to pieces. If then the black citizens will ask: "What happened to our city?" - They would have paid attention to all those left-wing activists who came to them and encouraged them to revolt.
- Many have criticized and criticized the police action as you evaluate them?
- If the crew who pursued Michael Brown and his friend was not alone, it is quite possible that it would cost without the use of lethal weapons, but because in this situation the officer appeared with a young man who was physically much stronger, one for one, he had no choice but to shoot. The procedure is such that in this case you need to shoot to kill, even if the person was unarmed as by Russian law. If, of course, Michael Brown threw up his hands and stood up on his knees, he would still be alive, and got only two months in prison as he stolen not so much in store. From the point of view of the case, the very officer behaved properly, in fact, he has the first time in his career when used the weapon. I have some questions to how the police responded to a report of a robbery, but let's leave it to the competent authorities, let them deal with it. I want to emphasize that this type of incident and the accompanying publicity always give rise to any changes. For example, now all sides recognize that it is time to introduce a law that the cops should have DVRs not only in cars, but also on the uniform, that there would be no questions about who has acted correctly and who is not.
Dmitry gets it.
It may be related to language, since I note that the original article, which is available through the link, and which is available in Russian, had to be translated, in order to post here, it contains, in whole in in part, a great many, at least in my opinion, subordinate clauses, as well as commas, which really break up the flow, of the article, and disturbs the point, which Dmitri, is making.
Two words that sum it all up, bloods and crips, they can kill each other but let a white cop protect himself or others and its racism
I actually used Google translator and briefly tried to make it into comprehensive form manually to keep maximal sense. It is not a professional translation of course.
I do appreciate getting news from across the globe. Thanks for making the effort!
BTW, AiF is one of the most popular Russian printed medias since 1978 and ahead of Pravda since 1991 after communist collapse.
It is rated as most respected weekly these days with the most readers so you can count it as the primary mainstream media of Russia.
Yes, but as I read through the translation above, I could hear the voices of Boris Badenov and Natasha!
Call it what it has become. It is no longer the race card, it is the full deck.
Very interesting. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you for posting this. Sad that you have to go to the media in Russia to get the truth. It’s ironic
When the impeachment issue of Obama over riding his constitution authority began to show up along with his dwindling polling numbers.What Obama needed, worked for, and got,by creating “victims” within his main group of supporters to defend his regime ..
This he achieved by separating and isolating the blacks creating narratives of “victimization” using altercations over guns caused by lawless black youths who were portayed as “victims” that ended in their tragic deaths in Florida and Missouri.
The Ferguson setting offered the pefect opportunity to demonstate his power so he issued the “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters.Which was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on “Impeachment”.
Yes, but as I read through the translation above, I could hear the voices of Boris Badenov and Natasha!
...we kill moose and squirrel...
It wasn’t investigated properly because it didn’t generate the predetermined correct answers.
In the case of a white cop shooting a black man there will always be “questions” because even Al Sharpton knows that cameras lie in racially interpretable matters.
You do good work. It is not difficult to understand at all.
Ferguson just a local thing.
It is what this article is actually arguing for.
Bet Obama has a grin so big his ear lobs are wet.
