73 Dead In Jamaican Violence

73 civilians have reportedly been killed by Jamaican security forces during an assault on Tivioli Gardens, a very poor community in West Kingston.

More than 500 people have been arrested and transferred to the National Stadium for detention. Distraught relatives have gathered outside the gates of the stadium in an all to familiar scene, looking for sons, daughters, husbands, and wives unaccounted for. Police have reportedly burned several bodies on the streets to prevent identification and autopsy of the remains.

As a result of the assault, the security forces recovered 22 weapons, 8000 rounds of ammunition, and some local and foreign currency (they didn't say how much). The security forces reported 2 police officers killed and 58 wounded during the "operation".

Meanwhile, Christopher "Dudus" Coke remains free. Robin Hood Lives in the countryside protected by the citizens of Sherwood Forest. Not wanted by his own country, but, by a foreign country unable to control it's appetite for illegal drugs.

The manhunt and killing will continue until Mr. Coke is caught or the government falls. Or both.

The people will begin to ask a lot of tough questions after this whole episode is over. Such as, was it worth the lives of 73 innocent people to apprehend a person not wanted by our state? How is it that only 22 weapons were recovered in a community supposedly armed with 50 caliber machine guns? Was Christopher Coke even in the neighborhood at the time of the assault? Why is the Jamaican government doing the bidding of a foreign power? Would the US government kill 73 of it's citizens to capture a person wanted in Jamaica? What happens to the approximately 500 people being held at the National Stadium?

There has been virtually no comment of any kind coming out of the White House or Justice Department about the war on the streets of Kingston. They could care less how many Jamaicans are killed as long as their scapegoat is caught, tried, convicted, or conveniently shot.

Somewhere Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey are crying.

Warfare On The Streets Of Jamaica

The proud African state of Jamaica has joined Mexico and Columbia as states totally destabilized by the drug policy of the United States. The policy of extraditing alleged drug traffickers to the United States for kangaroo courts has ignited a backlash.

It is no coincidence that violence, kidnapping, and assaults on police are prevalent in countries that extradite their "citizens" to the US for trial. Accused criminals like Pablo Escobar and now Christopher Coke would rather die in their own country fighting than submit to the white man's justice here.

The extradition policy is a policy of rendition, cloaked in the legal system. The US merely charges a foreign citizen with a crime, the more outrageous the better. The foreign government, without charging the individual with a crime, destroys half the country and kills countless civilians to deliver the citizen to a foreign land. A land the accused may have never visited.

In this case 30 people have died as a result of this policy. The civilians died for the defense of their sovereignty. The Police died as slaves to another country.

Does not every citizen have a right to be accused and tried in the nation where he was born, by a jury of his true peers, and by a government that benefited from his/her taxes? Anyone can understand extraditing individuals who flee to other countries to avoid capture. However, bringing drug dealers here who have never been here is another.

Strange that only Black and Brown people are extradited. Roman Polanski is still vacationing in France after raping a little girl. The French protect him as a citizen, even though he is from here and committed the crime here. Certain individuals in the drug business are labeled "kingpins" and "cartel chiefs" because they made money in the drug business. These individuals are always Black or Brown. Although the distribution of drugs has always been controlled by the government and the bankers, none are ever convicted as kingpins. Frank Lucas, Freeway Ricky Ross, Christopher Coke, and Pablo Escobar did not own any ships or planes with runways in the US. They did not own any banks. They did not run a single police department. However, these men were kingpins because they owned a few houses and cars, and sponsored a few community events. Meanwhile, the police, judges, bankers, lawyers, and politicians who benefit are left alone. The government started the crack epidemic in the 1980's, yet, no government official was ever convicted of even a parking ticket.

This ridiculous policy must end. If the money spent during the past 30 years to stop, try, and convict drug dealers had been spent on treatment and prevention programs, there would be no drug kingpins. Lots of people have to be benefiting for a drug war to continue unabated for as long as it has.

The real drug kingpins are the pharmaceutical companies who sell legal drugs at exorbitant prices to people who can't afford them. These drugs are not designed to cure but, to keep the user coming back over and over again. Blood pressure medications, cancer drugs, AIDS drugs, drugs for restless leg syndrome. Oxycontin, percocet, vicodin, Demerol. All legal drugs that don't cure anything, but they cost a lot. Yet, the drug companies make billions legally, even though their drugs kill many more people.

Christopher Coke should be tried in Jamaica, if they have any charges against him. The popular uprising occurring in the streets may cause the government to fall as more and more people see this as an issue of sovereignty, and the government as a tool of the US. Other individuals involved in the drug trade and find common cause with Mr. Coke and join the fight, which may already be occurring based on the number of roadblocks.

In the end Christopher Coke will be killed and a new "drug kingpin" appointed and targeted. The cycle of violence will continue and the drugs will continue to flow. Then another scapegoat will emerge.

Attorney For Family Of Slain Girl Claims Police Fired Into Home

As police frantically attempt to cover-up the cold blooded murder of a seven year old Black girl sleeping in her own home, a video has surfaced.

The Attorney for the family indicates that the video clearly shows the police toss in a grenade, then fire into the home immediately afterward. The police claim the gun discharged after a struggle with a 46 year old woman, the victims grandmother, who was running for her life.

Turns out that A&E was filming one of their "Superhero Police Of Detroit" series, featuring throw a nigger in jail, and they happened to film a cold blooded murder instead. The so-called police investigation need only review the tape to determine the liar, and potential murderer, in this instance.

The family can expect to receive a few dollars from a bankrupt city, but certainly not justice. No police officer will be charged with a crime. None will be fired. All will be quietly re-assigned to higher paying jobs and the whole thing forgotten.

Meanwhile, parents and grandparents grieve the loss of a little girl for the rest of their lives.

Detroit Cops Kill 7 Year Old Girl

Police in Detroit shot a 7 year old girl in the head and neck while executing a search warrant at the wrong house.

The Police will now investigate themselves, clear themselves, and go back to business as usual. After the fact, they pretend to be distraught while they suspend another murderer with pay for a few days to reload. Call the whole thing a tragic accident.

It is not a coincidence that the little girl was Black and poor. Black people have no rights when police arrive, ask Louis Gates Jr. Instead of surrounding the house, knocking on the door and executing the search warrant. They throw grenades and go in shooting, without any information about who was inside and the risk to children and the elderly. These murdering assholes could have waited outside, undercover, waiting for the suspect to appear and taken him on the street. These cops could have executed the search warrant anytime during daylight hours to minimize the chance of casualties and make a positive identification of the suspect. It was far easier to just go in blasting because nobody cares.

It is time again for the creation of a Black militia like the Black Panthers and the Deacons for Defense. Now that these organizations are no more, it is open season on Black people. Police can bust in your home, shoot your kids, and blame YOU for the whole thing. We have no protection from the largest, most violent gang in the nation. They are armed with shotguns, M-16's, Semi-Automatic pistols, tazers and clubs. The gang is made up of Black and White soldiers all dressed in blue with a license to kill anyone in our community who demands their rights. Until Black people take an active role in self-defense, our people will continue to be targeted in their own homes.

Shame on the Detroit Police and the entire city of Detroit. Nothing has changed since the riots in the 60's and nothing will change until we stand up and refuse to be brutalized.

Seattle Cops Stomp Hispanics

Coast to coast, city by city, cops are given license to kill, stomp, and taze minority suspects at will without penalty. From Philadelphia to Oakland, from New York to Seattle, the story is the same. You can shoot, taze or beat at will. The most you will get is a few days suspension, with pay.

The Justice Department will do nothing, Prosecutors will not prosecute, Police Chiefs will not fire. The beat goes on.

Forty years after COINTELPRO destroyed every Black, Brown, and Red organization adressing police brutality in their communities we are back to square one. Now that the communities are armed, with weapons distributed by the government to protect the drug trade, more and more officers will be killed and wounded attempting to apprehend suspects who don't want to be jailed without fair trails or shot and beaten on the streets. Future riots will involve a lot more firearms than the riots in LA after the Rodney King beating.

This country will continue to deny that racism and brutality against minorities occurs daily. We have learned nothing from the civil rights protests of the 60's. The tactics of Police like Bull Conner and Joe Arpaio have been legalized by the state. The only option for minorities is self defense by any means necessary.

Philly Cop Shoots Self-Blames Black Man

If this isn't further proof that Philadelphia cops are some of the most racist on earth, I don't know what is.

Police in Philadelphia have been known to beat unarmed Blacks, bomb their houses, shoot them without cause, and now blame them for crimes they didn't commit. I am surprised they didn't find some poor unsuspecting Black man to blame it on.

Why isn't this racist cop in jail for filing a false police report? The truth is police officers rarely see the inside of a prison no matter what crime they commit, including murder.

It has become painfully obvious that African, Hispanic, and Indian people need protection from the police. Ethnic communities have begun to police themselves, enacting unwritten laws like "no snitching" to deny police access to the neighborhoods. Taking personal revenge on perpetrators to ensure justice is served rather than depend on a justice system that looks upon us as third class citizens.

This idiot would not have been caught had it not been for his own stupidity. The police would still be looking for a Black man, and maybe killed one, had this moron not used his own gun to shoot himself.

Although Blacks have plenty of reasons to hate the police, they don't go around shooting them without cause. It has become a given in this country that if any crime is committed, blame a Black man and you can probably get away with it.

As Richard Pryor stated so eloquently, "you go down there looking for justice and that's just what you find, just us."
