From December 5th:
Over the past week, brave protesters and street fighters have taken to the streets across the country igniting a brilliant revolt against the police, white supremacy and capitalism. The people of Ferguson are an inspiration to us all and their actions have sparked an unstoppable movement that has now spread nation wide. From the mass highway takeovers to the expropriation of looted goods to the disruptions of Black Friday consumerism to the street fights with police, we stand in full solidarity with all those who have put their lives and bodies on the line to help push the struggle forward and disrupt business as usual. We reject all attempts to divide those in the streets between “good protesters” and “bad protesters”. Anyone pushing this agenda is doing the work of the state and is an enemy of the movement.
Hundreds have been arrested in this rebellion including roughly 200 here in the Bay Area. All of those who are still in jail locally are facing felony charges allegedly related to the looting of various corporate stores. Not surprisingly, all of these comrades who the state has chosen to make examples of are Black.

Are you unaware of the fact that people of many races were arrested, or are you simply using misinformation to fuel your cause?
Not all the arrestees were black, but are any of the people currently facing felony charges in Oakland not black?
Actually i think at least some whom they are pressing charges against aren't Black . But i'm not sure .
So Why don't you publish the names and race/nationality of those who are still facing charges ?
It's not irrevelant . For example this new Non Profit the ''Catalyst project '' (that has proclaimed itself part of the leadership of ''White allles'' ) states on their website that there has been only White person killed by the Police in California since 1970 .
Not remotely accurate . There has been at least six victims in Ca in the last decade .
Like James Cotton beaten to death by the Eureka Police and Anthony Banta jr shot down by the Walnut Creek PD .
Cotton's family sued in Federal Court against the Eureka PD and won several million in Oakland Federal Court in 2013 . Banta's family filed a 15 million suit , also Federal. Still Pending .
No doubt African-Americans , especially Young Black men , are the main targets of Police violence .
But despite what some activists say the main role of Cops in Capitalist society is serving and protecting the '' ! % ''. . Not just enforcing Institutional racism
My two cents.

Correction' i meant to write ''Only ONE White person '' Not ''only White person''
also the stats only referred to those that were UNARMED
also the stats only referred to those that were UNARMED
nevertheless, police are the visibly violent american shadow ''government''. all are considered killers. no exceptions. if you don't like that, resign as a police person and arrest 500 000 police.
