February 06, month long coverage of SFPD lethal force in the SF Chronicle

June 06 : SFPD Killing of Asa &Big O, 18 days apart. Murderous KKKops on 2 week paid vacation.

Please join the website set up in support of the family of

Oliver Lefiti, AKA "Big O"

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/justice4BigO/

for background on his shameful killing by SFPD.

This is the second PD murder of a Samoan Warrior in SF.
Prior, they shot and killed a severely retarded 13 yr Samoan boy with Down Syndrom who was playing with a plastic water gun...

Big O has been demonized in the corporate press, portrayed as a "suspected drug dealer", although no weapons or drugs were found at the scene. No community/PD liaison has been activated for the past 2 weeks to give answers to his family, who courageously steps up to the plate and demands Justice.

Big O was a reformed man who was active in his community, deterring the Youth from street life.
