Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers stand posted at the corner of Chambers Road and West Florissant Avenue on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014, in Ferguson, Mo., as police search for a suspect in the shooting of a Ferguson police officer. Authorities say a police officer has been shot in Ferguson, the U.S. city that has been the scene of unrest since the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, by a white police officer.

FERGUSON, Missouri (AP) -- Authorities searched Sunday for a suspect in the shooting of a police officer in Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where there have been angry protests since a white officer fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old black man last month.

Although there were two protests about the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown happening when the officer was shot Saturday night, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference early Sunday that he didn't think they were related to the wounding of the officer.

St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman, a police spokesman, said in an email that only one suspect was involved in the shooting, not two as earlier reported.

The suspect was standing outside a closed community center when the officer approached Saturday night. 

The suspect fled and the officer gave chase. That's when the man turned and shot him in the arm, police said.
Belmar said the officer returned fire, but that police have no indication that anyone else was shot.

The officer was treated and released from a hospital, Schellman said.

Schellman said he didn't know why the body camera the wounded officer was wearing was turned off during the shooting.

The shooting comes amid simmering tension between community members and police in Ferguson, where two-thirds of the residents are black, but only three of the city's 53 police officers are African-American. The shooting of Brown and police response to the protests stoked a national discourse about police tactics and race.

On Saturday, Brown's parents told The Associated Press they were unmoved by a videotaped apology released days earlier by Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, whose attempt to march with protesters Thursday night sparked a clash that led to several arrests.

When asked whether Jackson should be fired, Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, said he should be. Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., said rather than an apology, they would like Darren Wilson, the officer who shot their son, to be arrested.

A county grand jury is weighing whether to indict Wilson in Brown's shooting.

The Justice Department, which is investigating whether Brown's civil rights were violated, is conducting a broader probe into the Ferguson police department. On Friday, it urged Jackson to ban his officers from wearing bracelets supporting Wilson while on duty and from covering up their name plates with black tape. 

The bracelets, which sparked complaints from Ferguson residents, are black with "I am Darren Wilson" in white lettering.

AP Interview: Browns unmoved by chief's apology

AP Interview: Browns unmoved by chief's apology

The parents of Michael Brown, Lesley McSpadden, left, and Michael Brown, Sr., right, speak to The Associated Press during an interview in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014. Michael Brown's parents say they are unmoved by the Ferguson police chief's apology in their son's shooting death by a police officer. Instead, Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr. told The Associated Press they would rather see an arrest, and Brown Sr. said he wants the police officer "in handcuffs."


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The parents of Michael Brown told The Associated Press on Saturday they were unmoved by the apology given by the Ferguson, Missouri, police chief weeks after their unarmed 18-year-old son was killed by a police officer.

Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, said, "yes," when asked if Chief Tom Jackson should be fired, and his 
father, Michael Brown Sr., said rather than an apology, they would rather see the officer who shot their son arrested for his Aug. 9 death.

"An apology would be when Darren Wilson has handcuffs, processed and charged with murder," Brown Sr. said.

Wilson is white; the young man, black. The shooting sparked days of violent protests and racial unrest in the predominantly black community. Some residents and civil rights activists have said responding police officers were overly aggressive, noting their use of tear gas and surplus military vehicles and gear. Brown Sr. called the looting that has been interspersed with the protests "disrespectful," but the "First Amendment protesting? 

They have that right."

"There's going to continue to be unrest until they do what should be done," McSpadden added, referring to 
Ferguson officials.

Jackson released a video apology to Brown's family and the community, in which he acknowledged that Brown's body should have been removed from the street much sooner than it was. The young man's remains lay uncovered for more than four hours while police collected evidence.

"I don't want words, I want action," McSpadden said.

The parents, both wearing T-shirts with messages about their son, talked hesitantly about their emotions following their son's death. McSpadden said she feels lost and helpless, and her life will never be normal again. "I have to find a new normal," she said haltingly.

"I'm empty," Brown said quietly. "There's nothing there anymore. It's hard to fill that spot with other 
happiness."

Brown's parents are in the nation's capital to meet with lawmakers and lobby Congress to pass a law requiring police officers to wear cameras during their interactions with the public. They also called on the Justice Department to take over the criminal investigation into the shooting. The Justice Department is already investigating whether Brown's civil rights were violated, and a county grand jury is weighing whether to indict Wilson.

"All of our eyes see the same thing, that it was wrong, an injustice," McSpadden said. "Why wouldn't they come back with an indictment?"

Attorney General Eric Holder has met Brown's parents, and they hope his coming departure won't affect the case. Holder announced his resignation Thursday. "I've got confidence in him in that he will make sure that what needs to be done is done before he exits," McSpadden said.

The parents also expressed anger at Ferguson police who wore bracelets in support of Wilson. In a letter released Friday, the Justice Department asks Jackson, the police chief, to "confirm our understanding" that officers in the suburban St. Louis County department won't wear "I am Darren Wilson" bracelets while on duty.

Ferguson residents complained about the black bracelets with white lettering at a meeting with federal officials. The Brown's family lawyer, Benjamin Crump, said the bracelets give an impression that the police lack impartiality in this case.

"It lets me know how they really feel about the situation, and the wrongness that they do," McSpadden said.

Brown's parents talked with lawmakers during the Congressional Black Caucus' legislative conference weekend and plan to keep on lobbying. "I ask Crump all the time, `What else can I do?' McSpadden said.

Brown Sr. called their efforts a fight for human rights. "They say that this is America, but we're not being treated like we're Americans. Our fight here is to just open other eyes and understand how we're feeling and try to get something done about it."

McSpadden said her son was taught to respect his elders.

"I taught my son respect for a policeman, for you, for this woman, for anybody, so if he felt like he was doing nothing wrong, which I don't believe he was, why would he be in fear of him? You're not supposed to fear the police."

Philly's Van Stone Reveals: Wonder Woman Was Black; The First African-American Super Girl-Top 17 Most "Significant" Beautiful Black Female Comics Superheroine Characters Part 1.

Philly's Van Stone Reveals: Wonder Woman Was Black; The First African-American Super Girl-Top 17 Most "Significant" Beautiful Black Female Comics Superheroine Characters Part 1.


























Above: Diana, Wonder Woman, (DC Comics) who was always a Black Female Superhero but rarely drawn having dark skin  complexion.

The reason why I am presenting Female characters in Superheroines comics is: Each model who wants to make it to the end of the model magazine cover competition developed by the Philadelphia Front Page News-Magazine MUST create a sexy pose as one of the famous “Significant” non-caricatured Black Female superheroes in comics history.

But let’s set the record straight about Black Female superheroes who are both from Africa and the other world continents. If their beginnings are from Africa and they somehow journey to America to fight super-evil, the Black woman doesn’t become African-American just because she visited the Americas.

Same goes for, if their beginnings are from America and they somehow journey to Africa to fight super-bad guys, the Black woman doesn’t become America-African just because she visited Africa, Asia, Europe or any of the other continents where Black females have beginnings.

The Women of Color, the person who is Black, has always been identified in parts of the world, not by skin complexion, but rather by historical genes. Therefore, if the people living in Africa, Asia, and certain parts of Europe located at the corners of Egypt, were Black where they all began they will not become something other than Black just because they all suddenly have an end in a completely different part of the world.

When it comes to women characters in comics, one of the most significant developed stories for a superheroine, which began in North Africa, is the story of Diana, Wonder Woman and her twin sister Nubia, Wonder Woman.

Another significant developed story for a superheroine is the story of an African-American Super woman
which began in New York City, New York.

But most people interested in superheroes and comics want to know who the first most significant non-caricatured Black female superhero is. So, I, Van Stone, will reveal the answer to you the reader.                     
The first most “significant” non-caricatured Black female superhero ever, introduced in 1940 DC Comics, is the Hawkgirl, an Egyptian, Eastern North Africa Princess (a Black Woman).  

 

Above: Hawkgirl (Hawk Woman) DC Comics.


Diana, Wonder Woman, who is a Black female superhero, has to have one of the most enigmatic histories of any major comic book character. Why? Because, in 1941 DC Comics introduced the Wonder Woman, a Libyan, Eastern North Africa Princess (a Black Woman) who became the second most “significant” non-caricatured Black female superhero ever.

Wonder Woman’s background story has been changed, re-connected, tweaked, retold, re-imagined and re-envisioned over and over.  But why has this occurred?  This has happened because Wonder Woman is really based on a real life Black person- a Black woman.

And the same has happened with every creation story that actually has anything to do with being based on real life female or male historic Black peoples or people of Color. The fact is: The Old and New Testament Biblical Characters, The Great African, Greek, Asian, as well as, Southeastern African/European Poetry Writer Characters, and many of the First Explorers of Canada, North, South and Central Americas were all Black-gene peoples. 
 

Still, it seems that there is a natural habit of all mankind for some un-established strange reason to observe any Black Histories and then afterwards steal or borrow them for another fake racial historic creation. The fake racial historic creations last forever without anyone bothering to expose what is false.          

In fact, with the exception of the X-men's Storm and Rogue, Avengers’ Hawkgirl, America’s Spiritual Revenge’s Shi, Van Stone’s Heroes of the Last Q’s Shadai Chiropractra, Gotham’s Batgirl, and America’s Teen Ms Marvel, there are not any other widely recognized black superheroines in American culture.

But this is only because Diana, Wonder Woman’s true identification of being the Super-Black woman with a twin sister whose name is Nubia, Wonder Woman has been denied by both whites and blacks for years. 

Because she is such a powerful female character, a strong and independent leader, and a frequently used and referenced character, Wonder Woman is simply just the most famous Black Female character in DC Comics. But Wonder Woman is not the number 1 Black Female Superhero.

From Van Stone’s countdown from number 17 superheroine to number 1 at the start of the year of the Black female super hero until now, the winner is: Her name is simply, Shi. Recall, Shi, a Woman of Color, who is Japanese-American, is a Black woman because of her historical genes.

Continuing our celebration of the Black Woman Model on a Magazine Cover, before we start the actual model competition, we wanted to conclude our view of professional and amateur models by giving you a list of the Top 17 Black Female Characters in Comics according to actual order of  geographic location and time periods: From Egypt, Eastern North Africa is Hawkgirl; from Libya, Eastern North Africa is Wonder Woman (a twin sister of Nubia, Wonder Woman); from Libya, Eastern North Africa is Nubia (a twin sister of Diana, Wonder Woman) from Nicaragua, Central America is Namora; from Iran-Ukraine-Turkey, Eastern Asia is Red Sonja; from New York City, New York, African-America-USA, is  Sun Girl; from Kenya, East Africa is Storm; from the Greek Islands, Greece is Electra; 

from Maimon, Dominican Republic, is Zarda, Power Princess; from Mississippi, Native America-USA, is Rogue; from New York, Japanese-American-USA is Shi; from Libya, Eastern North Africa is Axegirl; from Philadelphia, PA, Black Hispanic-America-USA, is Shadai Chiropractra; from Philadelphia, PA, Black Indian-America-USA, is Yolanda; from Malaysia, Southeast Asia is Batgirl; from Kenya, East Africa is Female Black Panther; from Pakistan, South Asia is Ms Marvel

Wonder Woman is a fictional superheroine who appears in comic books. The character is a warrior princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology). The Greeks who wrote this mythology were in fact Black peoples who lived in North Africa, Asia, and Europe on the border of the corners of Egypt. Therefore, Wonder Woman racially would be Black.

Ms Marvel (17th "Significant" Black Female Superhero)

Traditionally, the word "tiara" refers to a high crown, often with the shape of a cylinder narrowed at its top, made of fabric or leather, and richly ornamented. It was used by the kings  and emperors of some ancient peoples in Anatolia and Mesopotamia, notably the Hittites. Therefore, Wonder Woman would be King and Queen when there is no male present for leadership.

DC’s Wonder Woman possesses an arsenal of weapons, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane. Interestingly, Marvel’s Dominican Republican, Zarda, Power Princess has close ties to Libya, Eastern North Africa exodus, possesses and arsenal of weapons, including an invisible shield.
 
It seems that Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman, and Zarda, Power Princess are all equal in significant power, strength, liberation, fairness, loyalty, commitment, and sexy beauty in the eyes of a good man. And these women superheroes were only interested in the opposite sex, fixated on romance between the male and female sex caring about children and modern family. Men of any race or being, even Batman or the Black Panther, found the Black female superhero to be irresistible.
