As Cesar said, this is an EPIDEMIC of police brutality and murder. It is systematic and systemic and we need to be talking about a whole different way society can be organized where we can finally put an end to this situation.

People should come hear this talk Monday night, 10/26, Cantor Film Center, 7pm with Raymond Lotta - "everything you've been told about communism is wrong, capitalism is a failure, revolution is the solution." ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Lloyd: basically yes, a guy left a club, got in his car and was shot 50 times. These were 3 undercover cops who shot at point blank range into Sean's car. They didn't identify themselves and Sean and his two friends thought they were being carjacked. You can find a more detailed description here: http://revcom.us/a/072/seanbell-en.html

The 3 cops were found not guilty. This is what happens over and over again when police harass, brutalize and kill people by the thousands across the country. (A recent NYCLU report states that from Jan to June of this year, the NYPD stopped and frisked 311,646 people, the overwhelming majority of them Black and Latino.) The days need to be gone when this unjust, illegal and illegitimate treatment is approved and encouraged.
