【禁闻】美国佛格森案 中共为何高调报导?

【新唐人2014年12月01日讯】美国佛格森警察开枪导致黑人死亡事件,大陪审团认定警察无罪,之后在美国不同城市发生示威活动。对此,中共官方媒体高调报导:这是美国的人权伤疤。不过人们质疑中共:这些年来,在中国大陆,警察不断的打死少数民族、异见人士、信仰民众、上访国民以及拆迁户等等,为什么官方媒体态度却保持沉默?大不相同?请看以下采访报导。

日前,美国中西部密苏里州一个大陪审团作出裁定,对开枪打死黑人青年布朗的白人警察威尔逊不予起诉,这一裁决引发了几乎遍及全美国的抗议,而事发地——密苏里州弗格森爆发了严重的暴力抗议和抢劫。

今年8月,枪击案发生后,密苏里州由9名白人和3名黑人组成的大陪审团,开始取证,大陪审团根据各方证词、物证以及布朗的尸检结果,威尔逊的伤势鉴定,警车内外的DNA报告,子弹的方向和轨迹等等,最后认定威尔逊是在执行公务,不对他提出刑事起诉。

密苏里州检方对裁决作出解释说,大陪审团经过25天,从60个证人那里,听取70个小时的证词,才做出了裁决。

不过,大陪审团裁定后,密苏里州弗格森爆发严重骚乱,骚乱几乎遍及全美。

总统欧巴马就此事发表讲话,呼吁民众保持冷静,接受大陪审团作出的决定,用和平的方式表达抗议。

欧巴马坦承,美国部分地区的执法机构与有色人种社区之间,确实存在相互不信任。不过绝大多数执法人员中,都不存在歧视性执法现象。欧巴马说,他自己个人生活就见证了种族关系的进步。

纽约城市大学政治学教授夏明:“美国它有一个社会舆论,公众的抗议活动可以形成一个规模,这种抗议其实是美国社会正常生活的一部分,很多的不公正就给暴露出来,得到各级政府,尤其是联邦政府的干预和解决。这是美国很大的一个特征,就在于许多的问题是一种社会问题,而不是中央的政策问题。”

大陆律师程海:“中国要碰到这种事情,通常是家属去给法院施加压力。(中共)长期的宣传给公众一个认识,好像警察都是万能的,永远都不会错。中国不会轻易的出现美国这种情况,好像宁可错,国内有很多过了几年被杀的又出来了。”

大陪审团裁定后,美国各大媒体一直持续关注。

对于密苏里弗格森骚乱,中共媒体发出了不同声音。外交部表示这是美国内政,《新华社》把这描述成是美国人权不光彩的疮疤。《环球时报》则罕见发问,中国法庭是否也敢在做出裁决的时候,不考虑可能激起的骚乱。

夏明:“中国和美国一个质的差别就在于,中国出现问题的时候它会掩盖,它永远是一种伟光正形象,但是在美国没有任何一级的领导人,任何一个政党,任何一个政府可以通过各种维稳、打压、封网、控制媒体来维持伟光正的形象。”

在中国,警察开枪打死藏人、维吾尔人,以及打死抵制强拆的贫民,经常发生,甚至为死于豆腐渣工程,以及三鹿毒奶粉的孩子伸冤的民众,都要遭到当局打压。

今年警察开枪打死维族人越演越烈,最后导致警民冲突不断。7月份,警察在盘查1辆公交车时,与维族人发生冲突,过程中警察开枪打死21名维族人,抓捕70多人。

世界维吾尔组织说,维族死伤人数之多,犹如种族屠杀。不过,大陆国内的报导中,除了报导维族人攻击警察外,警察开枪打死人的事实却很少呈现。

《美国之音》评论说,在中国,引起抗议的往往是重大政治或经济问题,而法庭宣判无论多么“荒谬”,绝少引起社会骚乱。评论还指出,中国法庭归政法委管,法官都是党的干部,法庭的判决要看是否符合党的利益。而美国有陪审团制度,裁决包含了民众的常识。

《美国之音》还指出,这次威尔逊没被判罪,法庭只是起到了组织作用,组织这些担任陪审员的美国普通民众研究案情,决定是否需要起诉当事人。而陪审团只是作出不起诉的决定。

据美国媒体报导,威尔逊目前已经从弗格森警局辞职。

The Difference Between the U.S. And China When Police Kill

The grand jury’s decision on the American policeman who shot
and killed an African American not only caused nationwide riots,
but also drew comments from the Communist regime
which claimed this is a scar on US human rights.
Numerous minorities, dissidents, people of religions,
and petitioners have also been killed by the Communist police,
but the responses of the courts and society from China
are very different from the US.
Why? Let’s take a look.

Rioting rocked Ferguson, Missouri, and other towns this week
after a jury decided Darren Wilson, the white police who fatally
shot an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, should not
be charged over the killing.
In particular, violent protest and vandalism occurred
in Ferguson.

A Missouri grand jury – of nine white and three black members –
made no recommendation of state criminal charges
on the police officer
after a series of deliberations on witnesses, evidence,
Brown’s autopsy, Wilson’s injury examination, DNA reports,
and the forensic analysis of the bullet direction and trajectory.

The St. Louis County prosecutor said the decision was made
by a grand jury which met on 25 days, heard 60 witnesses
and 70 hours of testimony.

Riots took place in Ferguson and across the United States
after the jury’s decision was made.

President Obama delivered a speech on the matter.

He called on the people to accept this decision was the grand
jury’s to make, and anyone who protests this decision to do so
peacefully.

Obama said, “The fact is into many parts of this country
a deep distrust exists", and he does not believe discrimination
is true with the majority of law officials.

The nation has made enormous progress in race relations
and he has witnessed that in his own life.

Professor Xia Ming, Political Science, the City University
of New York: “In American society, a protest from the media
and the public can form a large scale, it is a part of social norms.

When the injustice is exposed, the governments, especially
the federal will intervene and try to resolve it.
This is the characteristics of the US where many issues are
of the society, rather than central policy."

Lawyer Cheng Hai: “If it were in China, the family would have
put pressure on the court.
The propaganda has been that the police are omnipotent,
never at fault.
The situation in the US won’t easily happen in China.

They’d rather it is wrong, therefore we have seen very often
that the ones who killed would emerge a few years later."

Media in the US have continued to report
after the grand jury’s decision.

The Communist media also made reports
but with a different point of view.
The Foreign Ministry said this is an internal affair of the US.

Xinhua News Agency describes this as a disgraceful scar
on US human rights.
Global Times questioned if a Chinese court would dare to
make a final ruling without concern over consequential riots.

Xia Ming: “There is a qualitative difference between China
and the United States.
The regime will cover up the issue in order to maintain
its image of great, bright and right.

In the US, no leadership, party or government is allowed
to maintain its image through means of stability maintenance,
suppression, censorship and media control."

In China the police often shoot and kill the Tibetans,
Uyghurs and those who resist enforced demolition.
Even those who raise grievances for victims of shabby
construction and poison milk powder are subject to
the suppression of the authorities.

This year police shooting and killing Uyghurs has intensified
and led to clashes between police and people.
In July, a conflict occurred when the police interrogated
a bus-load of people.
Consequently, 21 Uyghurs were killed and more than 70 arrested.

World Uighur Congress said the many deaths and injuries
are like a genocide.
But, the regime reports maintained the Uyghurs attacked
the police.
The fact that police shoot and kill is rarely reported.

Voice of America commented, in China, protests are often
caused by major political or economic issues.
A court verdict, however “ridiculous" it may be, would rarely
lead to social unrest.
Comments also pointed out that Chinese courts are under
the Politics and Law Committee.
Judges are party cadres,
and the court’s decision is based on the party interest.
Whereas in the US jury system,
the verdict includes common sense of the people.

VOA also pointed out that in Wilson’s case, the court played
a role in organizing a group of jurors from the general
population to study the case and decide if a prosecution
should be brought against Wilson.
The jury decided not to recommend the charge.

Accordingly, Wilson has resigned from the police department
of Ferguson.
