The Eye That Opened Mine A leader leads by example not by force. Breaking news: another innocent unarmed black man has been shot by a white policeman. A fellow brother Tod Clifton has been shot he was wrongfully harassed and abused by a white policeman. Clifton sold Sambo dolls on the corner, without a permit. I was horrified that one of our own has been shot down and he wasn’t doing any harm. I took my personal responsibility and told the neighborhood youth about his passing. I paid tribute to Clifton by organizing a lavish funeral and eulogized. I gave the black community a chance to express their feelings so they could affirm themselves. Sadly that’s not how the Brotherhood felt about this event.
