DESCRIPTION:The People’s Community Medics was partially inspired by the police 
 refusing to immediately call an ambulance for Oscar Grant at the Fruitvale 
 BART station in 2009. When his friends asked the police to call 911, BART 
 police officer Pirone told them to “shut the f**k up” and did not call 
 an ambulance for 20 minutes.\nOscar, like many victims of police violence, 
 did not receive prompt medical treatment after he was shot by BART police. 
 Unfortunately, this is a common story in low-income and communities of 
 color--calling 911 does not guarantee an ambulance nor adequate health care 
 when paramedics arrive. Because of this inequality, we have lost numerous 
 loved ones unnecessarily. \nWe know that 911 is a joke (as the rap group 
 Public Enemy said so long ago) and that our people have been suffering from 
 a lack of proper medical treatment.\nThe People’s Community Medics has 
 launched this project to work with the larger community in taking what's 
 most important into our hands – matters of our health and safety. 
 \nPlease join us for a FREE event this Saturday, June 9th at 1:00 pm at

 Trauma\n • Free Emergency First Aid Packets\n • SPEAKOUT - this is our

 \nSee you there! – Justice for Anton Barrett and all victims of police 
 violence!!!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/06/05/18714851.php
