Protest NYPD on 12/6!! Stop Police Killings!
*New York* * * The New York City Police Department has escalated its aggression toward the Black community across the city. Community leaders are mobilizing a grassroots resistance movement to demand Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly rein in their rabid police force.
“Petty incidents like sitting on your front porch; or drinking an open beer or playing your music too loud in your yard at a family barbeque are treated like acts of terrorism. Swarms of police descend on the hapless victim and the situation quickly escalates to police brutality, false arrests and imprisonment,” said Kamau Brown of Bedford Stuyvesant. “It’s happening all over the city. We have to back them up and the only way we can is to mobilize and organize against it together. One by one we can’t
win, but together we can.”
The December 12^th Movement, a human rights organization, will lead a
protest rally to * “Resist Fascism and the Rise of the American Police
State,” * on Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 4:30pm at NYPD Headquarters -
One Police Plaza, Downtown NYC. Community activists, elected officials, and
grassroots community residents will speak out about what is happening “on
the ground” in the domestic war zone.
The issues on the agenda include the police profiling of Black youth; NYPD
/ Homeland Security occupation of the Black community; police aggression,
harassment and overkill, as well as President Bush’s assault on Habeus
Corpus; the erosion of civil rights; and Iraq war for oil.

Okay, I got a question. Why is the justice system protecting these guys who killed that groom. I'm sorry, but I have heard way too much crap about these trigger happy guys that over abuse their power. How do you shoot 50 times at somebody? Aren't they trained to deal with these kind of situations to safely and with minimum use of force to take down an armed suspect? Why the 50 shots? These guys probably paid off the judge to get them off. Why else would they opt for a judge instead of a jury of peers who would see through the BS? Don't get me wrong I know a guy or two in the nypd who are good guys. This is NOT directed towards them. Just saying I can smell the BS.
