This is a call out to everyone nationally to make our voice heard.
On Sunday May 16th Police shot and killed 7 year old Aiyana Jones while serving a search warrant at a house in Detroit, MI. When reading the numerous articles it becomes pretty clear that the police are far more concerned with clearing their name by saying that they went into the home an had a scuffle with the girl's grandmother and a shot accidentally went off. Then they say that they found the suspect in a murder case almost as if it justifies the tragic killing of this little girl.
This occured on tape as they were filming for the tv show The First 48. Attorney Geoffrey Fieger has seen the video and says it contradicts the police report. The police are shown on the video throwing a flash bang grenade into the house, which the grandmother said put the little girl on fire, and shot a bullet in the house from outside. The bullet struck Aiyana in the neck or the face (depending which article you read) and she died. The police went into the home and grabbed the girl's father, Charles Jones, and threw his face into a pool of his own daughters blood. Charles Jones said he will never be quite the same. Also take note, the attorney says, the police did apprehend the suspect in the murder case, however it was not at this house, it was at an upstairs apartment which they searched without a warrant. The grandmother even went as far as to say that the shooting was intentional. [Attack an old lady from behind?]
This cannot be viewed as an isolated incident as the police seem to be murdering on a daily basis. We need to get into our communities and bring this to the attention of the people! We need to show that the police act violently far more than violence is used on them. We need to explain that the police have far more of a negative impact than they do a positive one. TAKE THE STREETS! Just because this happened in Detroit does not mean that it hasn't or won't happen in your community. Isn't it slightly hard to believe that the grandmother was fighting the police even after she had been temporarily conncussed from the use of a flash bang. This behavior should outrage everyone and bring fire to your hearts. We don't need these cops shooting us, jailing us, or even enforcing laws that oppress us. March against these police for using violence so regularly. March in solidarity with this family who has had their joy taken from them by these violent protectors of capital.

"I will never surrender my pride and dignity nor allow the system to 'cut my tongue' and I will always, without fear, speak out against these war crimes and crimes against humanity, no matter if I spend the rest of my life in a prison cage, and draw my last breath of air laying down in this steel bed surrounded by razor-wire fences and cages, and its prison policies that are designed to destroy one's humanity…."
