Ferguson police chief resigns; Africans must manage our own communities

 

Press TV has interviewed Yejide Orunmila of the African People’s Socialist Party in Washington to discuss the resignation of the police chief of Ferguson in the US following a justice department report on systematic discrimination against Africans in the city.

Orunmila explains that the resignation would not change the nature of the US police as an occupying entity within the African communities, adding that the only solution for ending the oppression against Africans is for Africans to manage their own communities.
