The Jefferson Parish Democratic Executive Committee will host “Use of Force by JPSO – as Simple as Black and White?” – at 7-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, via Facebook livestream. Guests will include activist Michelle Charles, attorney and secretary of the Algiers-Gretna NAACP branch; civil rights attorney Peyton Bowman; and Alicia Dardar, a restaurant owner who took video of Sojourner Gibbs’ rough treatment by JPSO deputies. Up for discussion: whether JPSO practices racial profiling, its transparency – or lack of it – as JPSO investigates deputies’ actions, the disproportionate deaths of black men at the hands of deputies, whether JPSO should be investigated by the Department of Justice, and more.
