Protest against refusal to schedule hearing about most recent police attacks in Bayview/Hunters Point.

When:

Wednesday Sept 3rd, 4 P.M.

Where:

By front steps of 850 Bryant St, SF

Why:

In defense of the African American families of Bayview Hunters Point victims
of police brutality last Monday on Middle Point Road, Hunters Point SF, the
community is protesting the Police Commission refusal to schedule a hearing of
the new scandal, hardly 17 months after a similar tragedy on Kiska Road, on
MLK day. The Commission claims to be in recess for the next 2 weeks. We are
demanding to meet the Commissioners on the 3rd. A new refusal will clearly outline
the critical urgency of the Police Commission restructuration, under
Proposition H on the November 2003 ballot.

After that fake committee to investigate dissolved, what has happened? Should people be making an event of that?

Is there any sort of class action lawsuit going for all the thousands of people who were arrested around the time of the Iraq war who weren't actually doing civil disobedience but were just standing around, and were kept in the big processing center for that?

§Maybe?

Maybe its because the police simply made an arrest of a violently resisting indiviual. A crowd of criminals gathered and tried to stop the Officer from completing his duties. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe the good people of the area actually cooperated without lying and said what they saw (stated above).
How come when the police go up there to arrest someone everyone and their mother sees it and is willing to lie about it. Yet when these same kids shoot each other, play with guns, sell drugs, or sell young women, NOBODY SEES ANYTHING? Its not hard to figure out why life is not getting any better on the hill. I feel sorry for the good people of the area that allow the small group of idiots to speak for them...
Maybe the public is finally seeing through all the lies. Kinda like the boy who cried wolf..eventually nobody believed him after all the lies.

Maybe JQP simply knows all, nothing more, nothing less. And funny that, his omnicient viewpoint happens to coincide with the police viewpoint.

JQP must really get around to know where all the lies are and where they aren't.
