Oh Lord, while I’m on my beat May I know that you’re with me, And protect me as I go to guard Other’s lives and property. Help me to ignore those who scorn And show me no respect, But be mindful of all citizens I’ve sworn that I’ll protect. Be with my fellow officers And [...]

I’m a football fan. I love the Raiders and the people who know me will testify that I bleed silver and black. But first and foremost I’m a football fan. I got the opportunity to see Michael Vick play against the Detroit Lions in a Thanksgiving Day game at Ford’s Field. I know it was the Lions, but [...]

In this period of Obama-ite neo-colonialism, our colonial experience as Africans reminds us that we have previously traveled this road. To qualify this as a colonial experience clarifies the fact that African history does not begin with slavery or any relationship with Europeans. Therefore, any statements or feelings that the presidency of Barack Obama is [...]

I know it’s considered an overstated cliché but I have to say this: “Life Is Precious!” We should therefore do all we can to cherish and preserve it.
