Spotted some anti-cop posters in the Grays Ferry neighborhood, today, on the first anniversary of Mike Brown’s murder by the Ferguson PD.
received via email
from facebook
It’s been one year since the murder of Michael Brown, which sparked off the Ferguson Rebellion & created the Black Lives Matter uprising. While millions of people have taken the streets in protest to police terror and court injustice, and social media disseminates information daily on ever more brutal police violence, the killings continue at a rate even higher than last year’s deplorable numbers. We can’t stop now.
KEEP UP THE HEAT! Demonstrate for justice for Mike Brown, Sandra Bland, Brandon Tate Brown, Mya Hall, Frank McQueen, Merle Africa, Eric Garner, Malissa Williams, and too many others unjustly killed for the “crimes” of driving, walking, biking, shopping, playing or breathing while Black.
– Demonstrate at Broad & Erie. [6pm]
– Help hold up a 125 foot-long scroll of the names of women killed by cops or died in police custody.
– Speak out on the question:
“If cops don’t say or do anything when they witness fellow police behaving violently and unjustly, is it fair to say there are no good cops?”

URGENT: CALL TO ACTION!!
Another Black man beaten by Philly police!
Join family members to say Not One More Police Beating Of Our Children!
Black Lives Matter!
WE NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN PHILLY THIS SATURDAY, JULY 18 @ 12 Noon
Gathering at the site of the beating (633 E Locust Ave Phila. 19144) &
March to the 14th District Police Station (43 W Haines St off Germantown Ave)
WHAT HAPPENED: On April 3, 2015 an unarmed, 22 year old Tyree Carroll was stopped across from his grandmother’s house in the Germantown section of Philadelphia for riding his bike the wrong way on a one way street. What started with 3 white officers ended in as many as 26 officers involved or watching in this Rodney King style beating. He was kicked, hit with a nightstick, threatened with a taser, called a piece of sh** and other obscenities as more police arrived. Tyree suffers from asthma and fearing for his ability to breathe like with Eric Garner and for his life, he likely saved his life by biting two officers who were choking him. Fortunately, a neighbor recorded a video, where Tyree can be heard screaming for his grandmom to come to the door. It is an outrage as the Fraternal Order of Police has called this incident “good policing”. We all know this kind of abuse goes on all too often, but it just so happens that this one, like Rodney King in LA, was caught on camera. Come protest, demand justice for Tyree Carroll and his family and for an end to police brutality in our communities.

More than a dozen protesters rallied outside of the 35th Police District headquarters in North Philadelphia last week and used chalk to deface murals honoring fallen officers. It’s linked to a group calling for justice in a seven-month-old police shooting.
Video taken by an off duty officer shows protesters yelling at officers as they stand over the mural with chalk drawings scribbled on the ground and walls of the police district and on the murals of fallen officers John Pawlowski and Richard Lendell.
The words on the murals: “murderer,” “terrorist,” “traitor.”

Philadelphia’s top cop says a rush to provide the public details on a police-involved shooting led to a since debunked story that the victim was reaching into a car for a gun when he was killed.
Commissioner Charles Ramsey says Thursday that police were caught between the media’s demand for information quickly on last December’s shooting of Brandon Tate-Brown and the need for a thorough investigation first.
Surveillance videos and interview transcripts released Tuesday show Tate-Brown running around the back of the car toward the passenger side when he was shot. His family now accuses the police of lying about what happened.
But the officer told investigators he feared Tate-Brown was running to grab a gun in the car after struggling with police. The officer has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

Wednesday at 8:30am, be at the Criminal “Justice” Center, 1301 Filbert St., Philadelphia.
The “Lawncrest 10,” the ten activists arrested at a Police Town Hall meeting will be in court to challenge charges of “disorderly conduct.” We need your support to show Police Chief Charles Ramsey and the Philly PD that criminalizing legitimate protest is unacceptable.
In the face of growing police repression nationally against the Black Lives Matter movement, it’s more important than ever that we stand firm and will not let those in power trample on our first amendment rights to free speech.

As communities around the nation take to the streets in the ongoing movement against police brutality, the question of the police and their role in society has taken on new importance. With the police killing a Black person every 8 hours a movement is emerging that challenges the idea of who they protect and who they serve. The very origins of their institution is saturated with racism and violence. From their beginning as a force to quell strikes, urban riots, and the threat of slave insurrection they have always existed primarily as an enforcer for the 1% and a protector of their property. Join the International Socialist Organization for a discussion about the origins and function of the police and their relationship to racism, class and capitalism.
