Cleaver said. "I'll beat him to

A TIME TO KEEPm
Rise of the police
mmmammm ERIC W. GILLIAM
]
In New York City, In 1966, angry residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant
and Harlem, sick of being beaten by police, demanded the creation
of a civilian review board. This reasonable request was subjected
to a fantastic barrage of Orwelllan propaganda by police associa¬
tions. Ads appeared in the papers depleting a young girl walking
down a darkened street. The message read "Don't Leave Her Un¬
protected." The unsophisticated reader was left with the Impression
that a vote for the review board was a vote for rape, murder and the
Communist line. The measure was defeated by the voters and the
New York cops were off the hook.
This episode underscores an alarming trend in this country for
police departments to become autonomous political units, quite be¬
yond the control of the people they are supposed to work for I.e., the
public. The Increasing willingness of police to try and Influence
policy making at local levels betokens a climate quite alien to
American democracy.
Chicago showed us, It we didn't already know, that many American
police harbor a deep-rooted hostility towards the constitution guar¬
antees afforded each citizen. The facts came across the television
and were clear to all impartial viewers. Irrespective ofMr.
Hoover's Hlmmleresque rhetoric, the truth ls that the Chicago cops
simply went berserk and were beyond the control of their first line
supervisors. No congressional committee, no self-serving state¬
ments by police associations and no ponderous denials by the prin¬
cipals involved are going to change these facts. And if the polls show
that the majority of Americans approve of the Chicago disaster then
this says more about where this country Is going than any other con¬
sideration you care to Invoke. It's a sad day when a person can have
his Irrevocable rights dismissed by some fat-bellied, club-swinging
cop who allegedly is supposed to uphold the law. One Chicago cop
was asked what grounds he had for raiding Gene McCarthy's suite of
rooms, lie replied 'coffee grounds."
This sort of jeering contempt towards the highest law of the land-
the constitutional prohibition against unlawful search and seizure-
is practiced every day In every part of the country. While, middle-
class citizens do not know much about this but any black man, or
Mexican, or hippie would testify to Its truth.
Shoot first, question later
There ls, among police, a bond of brotherhood and perhaps this ls
as it should be. But all too often this bond ls used to cover up some
terrible excesses. The use of weapons is a good example. A few
days ago a San Francisco policeman shot a man who was arguing
with him. The squabble was petty but escalated when the officer, an
inexperienced man, pulled his gun. The conflict-was resolved when
the citizen was shot. Thus far, the S.F. Police Department has is¬
sued three different versions of the incident. How soon the truth will
out, and what shape It will assume, ls a matter of conjecture but I
anticipate one of these grand jury whitewashes which show the of¬
ficer acting legally. Such actions do little to give a citizen confl-
cence In either the police or In official lr

% A bylaw revision which would
give Student Senate representa¬
tion to black and Mexican-Ameri¬
can students was approved Tues¬
day by the Fresno State College
Board of Directors.
The resolution was passed by
a unanimous voice vote of the
directors and must now get the
approval of two-thirds of the
student body In the Oct. 14 elec¬
tions. The bylaw change was ap¬
proved by the Student Senate last
Student Body President Bruce
Bronzan told the board the bylaw
change was an "attempt to make
the senate more relevant to so¬

students for positions on faculty-
student committees.
Non-voting Fred Sheriff pre¬
dicted the resolution might lead
to opposition on the campus be¬
cause of a feeling that black and
Mexican-American students
should earn their positions.
In response to a question on
the probability of the measure's
success, Bronzan said he felt If
a majority of the students on
campus were to voteon the move,
It would probably fall, ir only
those 'Interested* were to vote,
Bronzan feels that the resolution
would pass.
