Aug 5 Rally for Williams Family Taser-Police Brutality Victims
KPFA, 6 p.m., 8/6/09, had a good report on the rally at the Albany City Council, Wednesday night, August 5, 2009 in support of the Williams family who were in a car stopped by police, the husband-father-driver was tasered many times for no reason whatsoever except racism, the wife was sexually molested, and both were falsely arrested, while the screaming children were picked up by their grandmother.

The father has a preliminary hearing in Alameda County on Monday, August 10, 2009. Find out where it is from the Alameda County court system and be there if you can. Pack the courtroom, demand the charges be dropped. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO HAVE TASERS AS THEY ARE LETHAL, TORTURE WEAPONS. The Williams family has filed a complaint and I HOPE THEY SUE THE CITY OF ALBANY AND ALAMEDA COUNTY FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
KPFA's excellent report is on the 6 p.m. evening news, near the end, August 6, 2009 at:

I went to the Alameda Super. Ct. website and checked the docket. On Monday, Aug. 10, Michael D. Williams has a 9am hearing in Dep't 104.
Some other Michael Williams has a 9am hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 13 in Dep't 606. Different guy, different case number.

this is finally being brought to light. many especially of any kind of african american or puerto rican afican are harassed sand jailed even if they were the ones being harassed by fearful whites or other people since 911 paranoia.they truly think you are a natural agressive ''criminal'' type! its not tolerable!
It's too funny that officer michael h gibson is being called a racist. if anyone did thier homework they would find out that his wife of more then a decade and his three kids ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN !!!!!!! I believe the willams are a racist family. they are the ones calling someone a racist when his family is african american. they simply picked the wrong cop to call racist.
