The grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the August 9 murder of Ferguson resident Mike Brown is simultaneously shocking and predictable. The same is true of a Staten Island grand jury’s decision not to indict Daniel Panteleo for the choking death of Eric Garner, spitting in the face of the people around the country who took to the streets to protest Wilson’s escape. The global spotlight on police murder after the rebellion in Ferguson makes the decision to let both walk all the more surprising, but the ugly reality is that police routinely murder Black and Brown people across the U.S. without facing consequences. The number of people killed by police last year was the highest number in 20 years, according to the FBI itself. Come to this meeting to discuss why the police are so out of control and what we can do to demand justice.
