Si bien indudablemente hemos recorrido un largo camino en las d\u00e9cadas posteriores a la lucha por los derechos civiles, momentos como el de Ferguson dejan en claro que las viejas divisiones pueden dar paso a nuevos conflictos.<\/p>\n<p>Desde su comienzo, la crisis en Ferguson habl\u00f3 de algunas de las heridas m\u00e1s profundas de Estados Unidos y de las tensiones inestables cuando un oficial de polic\u00eda mat\u00f3 a un adolescente afroamericano desarmado. Los disparos y los enfrentamientos resultantes entre los manifestantes y una fuerza policial excesivamente armada han ilustrado cu\u00e1n fr\u00e1giles pueden ser las relaciones entre las fuerzas del orden y las comunidades a las que est\u00e1n encargadas de proteger. Los miembros de las minor\u00edas de nuestras comunidades merecen un trato justo y respetuoso por parte de los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley. El acoso y la brutalidad no tienen lugar en nuestra sociedad y estas interacciones deben terminar.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n debemos mirarnos detenidamente en el espejo a la luz de la respuesta a las protestas. Estados Unidos nunca debe ser tratado como un estado policial y la manifestaci\u00f3n pac\u00edfica es una caracter\u00edstica definitoria en el centro de nuestra democracia, pero ese derecho, como todos los dem\u00e1s, debe ejercerse con responsabilidad y sin malicia. No hay lugar para el vandalismo o los ataques f\u00edsicos a las fuerzas del orden, pero tambi\u00e9n hay algo gravemente mal cuando los estadounidenses en una ciudad como Ferguson se enfrentan a veh\u00edculos blindados de estilo militar, gases lacrim\u00f3genos y ametralladoras calibre .50.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perdido en toda la acci\u00f3n parece estar el problema en la ra\u00edz de toda la crisis: la necesidad de construir un mejor entendimiento entre la polic\u00eda y el p\u00fablico y resolver la divisi\u00f3n racial y la discriminaci\u00f3n que persisten en nuestra sociedad. Ferguson y la naci\u00f3n necesitan enfrentar los problemas que han quedado al descubierto, espero que podamos avanzar de una manera significativa y constructiva hacia una mejor comprensi\u00f3n de qui\u00e9nes somos y queremos ser como naci\u00f3n y c\u00f3mo nos relacionamos entre nosotros. otros como seres humanos. Mi esposa Mary y yo mantendremos a la familia de Michael Brown en nuestros pensamientos y oraciones y esperamos una resoluci\u00f3n pac\u00edfica y sanadora de las tensiones y divisiones que han quedado expuestas por este lamentable incidente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement on the recent events in Ferguson, MO: I am deeply disturbed by the recent events in Ferguson, MO, which has become a tragic reminder of how many divisions remain in our nation and the work we still have ahead of us to bring about meaningful change [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-6001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases","tag-civil-rights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
