DESCRIPTION:This is a rally about Justice for Alan Blueford who was murdered by the 
 Oakland Police on May 6th. The Blueford family/Justice for Alan Blueford 
 coalition is calling for the rally. It will be in front of City Hall at 
 Oscar Grant Plaza (14th & Broadway). At least one city council member said 
 that they would do anything to help get justice. The City Council has 
 cancelled all meetings until September. We're issuing subpoenas to all of 
 the city council members to explain why they haven't demanded the release 
 of the police report on the murder of Alan Blueford, and why they are 
 continuing to pay and protect the officer who murdered Alan, instead of 
 demanding that he be fired and tried for murder; and holding those 
 responsible accountable\n\n*****INVITE YOUR FRIENDS PLEASE*****\n\nWEBSITE: 
 http://justice4alanblueford.org/\nEMAIL: alanblueford@yahoo.ca\n\nSome 
 background on Alan's murder:\n\nJust after midnight on Saturday May 6th, 
 Alan Blueford and two of his friends were waiting for some girls to pick 
 them up on 90th Ave., in East Oakland, after the Floyd Mayweather fight. 
 Not long after Alan had phoned his parents to check-in with them, a car 
 slowly pulled up to them with its lights off. Alan ran. One officer gave 
 chase. A few blocks later Alan was shot by OPD officer Miguel Masso. Masso 
 also shot himself in the foot. Over a dozen witnesses all said that Alan 
 had no weapon and posed no threat to the officer.\n\nWhy did the police 
 approach Alan and his friends with their lights off? Why did they give 
 chase when Alan had committed no crime and posed no threat to the officer? 
 Why was Alan shot three times when he had no weapon? How did a trained 
 officer shoot himself in the foot? From the witnesses’ statements, why 
 was Alan not given emergency CPR by OPD? Why did the OPD change their story 
 to the family several times in the days after the shooting? Why did they 
 refused to release the coroner’s report, despite the fact that it was 
 complete for weeks? Why does the family need to get a court order to get 
 the photos, which should have been a part of the coroners report?\n\nThe 
 family has gotten nothing but lies, distortions and stalling from the OPD 
 the DA and the coroner. The Blueford family and the Justice 4 Alan Blueford 
 Coalition are demanding:\n\n\n• Officer Miguel Masso be fired and charged 
 with Alan’s murder.\n• OPD Chief Howard Jordan be held accountable for 
 lying to the Blueford family.\n• An end to stop-and-frisk and other 
 police practices of racial profiling.\n• The repeal of the Police 
 Officers’ Bill of Rights, that shields violent cops from prosecution and 
 keeps them on the street.\n
