The October 22 Coalition held its annual police brutality demonstration Saturday. This year the event was held in San Jose’s predominantly Latino East Side. About 75 people gathered at Emma Prusch Farm Park and then marched around the area of Story and King roads. Exhorted by activists on bullhorns, the crowd attracted attention from passing motorists, who took leaflets, honked, and showed their fists. Back at the park, the protesters rallied and bought tamales and sodas. On hand were family members of people killed by police, who spoke to the crowd. Among them were the partner of Cau Bich Tran, who died at the hands of the San Jose Police in her kitchen in 2003, and Regina Cardenas, daughter of Rudy Cardenas, who was killed by a State Narcotics Agent. That agent, Michael Walker, is currently on trial in San Jose for manslaughter.
