DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2010, Stockton Police and San Joaquin County Sheriffs 
 killed James Rivera after a high speed pursuit in a residential 
 neighborhood. Police hit the van James was driving, forcing him to crash 
 into a residential home. Only a day before, they came to James' home and 
 told his family "you'll be going to a funeral tomorrow." After crashing the 
 van, police then proceeded to shoot James with automatic weapons even 
 though he was unarmed. The owner of the home has never been compensated for 
 the damage and has since hosted BBQs in support of the struggle against the 
 police and in solidarity with James' family. The Rivera family has also not 
 been allowed access to the police report or the autopsy report, even after 
 two whole years. Since then, the family has waged on ongoing campaign of 
 resistance in the streets of Stockton, disrupting the DA's office, 
 protesting and marching through the streets, and also showing solidarity 
 with other families in Manteca and Modesto who are also fighting back 
 against police terror.  \n\nThis spring, resistance in Stockton heated up. 
 Hundreds converged on the downtown on April 10th, shutting down traffic for 
 hours and facing off against police officers. Participants included members 
 of Occupy Oakland, the Rivera family, the Duenez family from Manteca who 
 are organizing around the police murder of Ernest Duenez Jr., and the 
 family of Luther "Champ" Brown, Jr. Champ was killed by Stockton police 
 only a few days before the demonstration, on April 6th, during a traffic 
 stop. Only several days after the militant demonstration that shook 
 downtown, Stockton police beat to death James Cooke during a traffic stop. 
 Cooke was the third person in 2012 to be killed by law enforcement in 
 Stockton. \n\nWe call on all comrades to converge in Stockton on Thursday, 
 May 31st, at 2pm at Courthouse Park on El Dorado and Center Street. Buses 
 in Oakland will leave from Oscar Grant Plaza (14th and Broadway), at 11 AM. 
 They will then arrive in Stockton. Buses will return to Oakland at the end 
 of the demonstration. A BBQ meal will be served. \n\nThe slave patrols of 
 the past are the police forces of today. \nFire to the plantations!\n\nFOR 
 RESISTANCE TO POLICE AND PRISONS!\nFOR VENGEANCE FOR THOSE MURDERED BY OUR 
 ENEMIES!\nFROM THE BAY AREA TO THE CENTRAL VALLEY!  \n
