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.

Cop Killer Shot
As I said yesterday, accused cop killer Maurice Cleamons was shot and killed by Seattle police this morning.
The police had no intention of taking Cleamons alive. As he revealed himself, wounded in the abdomen and bleeding, the police ordered him to show his hands. As he staggered around the car, the police shot him in the back.
People suspected of shooting cops are rarely taken alive. Black people suspected of shooting cops are never taken alive. There can be no defense for mental illness, police brutality or black rage. Just another dead Black man.
End of story.
