Statement :: Convocatoria del 22 de octubre de 2004

Posted by: NationalOffice :: Saturday, October 16, 2004
Get Involved! Convocatoria del 22 de octubre de 2004, DÃ*a Nacional de Protesta para Parar la Brutalidad Policial, la Represión y la Criminalización de una Generación



Un ejército de ocupación desciende en una comunidad, registra vehÃ*culos, hostiga y maltrata a chavos, y lleva a cabo arrestos en masa. En otra comunidad, escuadrones armados con fusiles automáticos, respaldados por helicópteros, llegan pisando fuerte y, a punta de fusil, obligan a todos a tirarse al suelo boca abajo. El paÃ*s entero mira con horror una grabación de un civil no armado que matan a golpes. Balacean a un muchacho de 19 años por abrir una puerta que da al techo; dicen que "no debÃ*a estar ahÃ*".

NO son escenas o fotografÃ*as de Irak, Afganistán o Palestina, sino de Hunters Point, en San Francisco, donde la comunidad vive bajo el terror de la policÃ*a; de Cabrini Green en Chicago, durante unas redadas; de Cincinnati donde mataron a golpes a Nathaniel Jones esposado; de Nueva York, donde le dispararon a Timothy Stansbury, de 19 años de edad, por abrir la puerta que da al techo en el edificio donde vivÃ*a.

Call :: The Call for October 22, 2004: National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation

Posted by: WebTeam :: Friday, September 24, 2004
Get Involved!

An occupying army sweeps into a neighborhood, searches all vehicles, harasses and brutalizes children, and arrests residents in massive sweeps. In another neighborhood, squads armed with automatic rifles, backed up by helicopters, march in military formation into the streets and force people onto the ground at gunpoint. A horrified nation watches a videotape of an unarmed civilian being beaten to death. A 19-year old boy is shot for opening a rooftop door; he's in the "wrong place."

These are NOT scenes and photographs from Iraq, Afghanistan or Palestine. These are scenes from Hunters Point (Bay Area), California, where a community is being terrorized by police; from Chicago's Cabrini Green housing project during a police raid on the residents; from Cincinnatti, Ohio, where Nathaniel Jones was beaten to death while handcuffed; from New York City, where 19-year old Timothy Stansbury was shot and killed just for opening a door onto the rooftop where he lived.

A law school dean inadvertently revealed the truth when he tried to defend the photographs of people tortured in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison by saying, "This is not much different from what happens in any [U.S.] police precinct house." We know this is true, and we say, "ENOUGH!" Law enforcement agencies have long had a green light to brutalize and murder people. The Stolen Lives Project's research for the 2nd volume of the book Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement documents an alarming escalation of police violence and murder. This is developing hand-in-hand with an increase in repressive laws, expansion of targeted populations, and the criminalization of dissent, all done under the name of "the war on terrorism."
