Stop the Epidemic of Racist Police Murders! Justice for Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Alex Nieto, Tamir Rice . . . Sat., Dec. 6, March & Rally, 16th & Mission Sts, SF As people were still taking to the streets across the country demanding justice for Mike Brown, this racist system delivered another outrageous injustice. A grand jury decided not to indict New York City officer Daniel Pantaleo for the murder of Eric Garner by placing him in a chokehold and, together with 3 other cops wrestling him to pavement. His last words were I cant breathe. The entire episode was caught on video, but the grand jury still declined to press charges! This latest murder is part an epidemic of police killings across the country including right here in northern California – Oscar Grant, Alan Blueford, Andy Lopez, Alex Nieto, Yanira Serrano, O’Shaine Evans and so many more. Just yesterday, the police street-executed an unarmed African American man, Rumain Brisbon, in Phoenix, Arizona, claiming that they thought a pill bottle was a gun! Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in protest of this wave of police murder and the fact that the cops who carry out these killings are almost never held accountable. Grand juries do what prosecutors want them to do 99.9% of the time. The non-indictments of the Darren Wilson in Ferguson, and Pantaleo in New York were what the prosecution engineered. It’s the system itself that grants impunity to the police even when their killings are captured on video. Join the ANSWER – Act Now to Stop War and End Racism – Coalition and many others for a rally and march on Saturday, Dec. 6, 1 pm at 16th and Mission Sts., in San Francisco.
