Ferguson Rebellion addressed by Universal African People’s Organization

New Africans defending the People at Ferguson, in the State of Missouri [link]

"Interview with St. Louis community leader Zaki Baruti"2014-08-21 by Ben Becker for "Liberation News" [http://www.liberationnews.org/interview-with-st-louis-community-leader-zaki-baruti/]:
Zaki Baruti is the President-General of the Universal African People’s Organization. He sat down with Liberation for an interview last week.
(Photo: Zaki Baruti of the Universal African People’s Organization leads a protest in Ferguson.)


Ben Becker: People all over the world are watching St. Louis. How would you, as someone who has been centrally involved, characterize what is going on there?
Zaki Baruti: I characterize it as justified, righteous outrage among many of the youth in the community, as well as the elders, at what happened to a young man, who was about to enter another new stage of his life and go to college. That’s a young man named Michael Brown who was brutally shot multiple times, over 8 times, by a killer cop whose identity we still do not have as of today.
That senseless murder has caused a major event that many of the authorities cannot put a complete handle on. I look at it as a righteous rebellion.

Ben Becker: Why do you think the rebellion has broken out?
Zaki Baruti: The killing of Michael Brown is a small symptom of what is taking place across America where young Black man are brutalized by the police forces.
It’s also sad to say that in the city of Ferguson, in a city that is 63% Black, there are 53 commissioned officers and only 3 are Black. That speaks to a situation that is not peculiar to Ferguson — it is like that in many other cities. In the cities across America, our organization, the Universal African People’s organization, as well as the Coalition on Police Crimes and Repression, we say that the police forces should reflect the ethnic communities they patrol. But that’s not the case in Ferguson or St. Louis.
Ten years ago the Missouri General Assembly mandated that the Attorney General conduct yearly studies to see if we had an epidemic of DWB (Driving While Black.) And every year there are proven statistics that show that Black people are disproportionately stopped and arrested.
The frustrations of our youth are compounded by the fact of tremendous unemployment, poor educational system, families that have been split by the disproportionate incarceration of Black people — this is the country with the most prisoners in the world. We are also calling for financial investment, similar to what happened after World War II when they had the Marshall Plan to infuse dollars from the United States to rebuild the war torn cities in Europe. We’re saying the same thing has to be done for the cities here.

Ben Becker: Are there organized forces taking the lead in St. Louis and Ferguson?
Zaki Baruti: There are several key grassroots organizations that have consistently spoken truth to power and made efforts to organize our youth to address the issues of police brutality and harassment. In addition to the groups I represent, there is the Tauheed Youth Organization, led by a brother Anthony Shahid who has been working diligently. You have the New Black Panther Party on the ground there, Nation of Islam Mosque #28, the Organization for Black Struggle, the Moorish Science Temple.
But let me be clear: there are many spontaneous protests organized by youth who do not belong to any particular organization. Out of this struggle, we’re hoping to mobilize them into some form of organized movement in terms of attracting them to our organizations or any others that speak truth to power.

Ben Becker: Why do you think building such organizations is so important?
Zaki Baruti: To deal with the ills of this society people have to be organized. Therefore, our message is that everybody needs to belong to an organization — preferably one that is real strong and not afraid to deal with the issues of the day.

Ben Becker: What is your message to people who are outside of St. Louis, and might be feeling powerless as to what to do?
Zaki Baruti: One, we are planning a National Day of protest and support in the memory of Michael Brown. But not just him — also the brother Eric Garner who was just choked to death in New York, Oscar Grant, Amadou Diallo and so on. This will be a protest against police violence and we’ll be announcing a date soon.
We’ll be asking masses of people — 10,000 to 30,000 people — to come to the St. Louis area to support us in our just cause. And for those who cannot come to hold solidarity rallies in the communities where they live.
We also ask that people across the country search online for the office number of the St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, and bombard it with calls demanding that the officer be indicted and vigorously prosecuted with a conviction.

Ben Becker: What has been the response of the prosecutor thus far?
Zaki Baruti: At one of our demonstrations outside the St. Louis County Justice Center, where the prosecutor has his office, we were going to send a delegation of five people to meet with him. When he saw the list and saw my name on it, he said I could not come. Out of principle, the other people refused to meet with him also based on that. They cannot determine who is going to go and negotiated and represent our people.

Ben Becker: For those who are hearing from the media that there is a looting and criminal element taking over at night in Ferguson, how would you respond to that?
Zaki Baruti: It’s another falsehood. Although there was some of that — and I don’t call it “looting,” I call it the liberation of some of the goods that have been stolen from the people over the centuries — that has not been an ongoing situation. What has actually taken place is that a number of young people have come to the forefront daily, in the daylight and in the evening, to express their outrage. They have been by and large peaceful. All they have done is block the streets of the major thoroughfares, somewhat similar to what took place in Egypt at Tahrir Square and other places where there have been rebellions of the masses of people. The theme has been “enough is enough.”
As an elder, I’m in absolute agreement with it because it could as easily been my son or grandchildren. So we have to create an environment where these injustice do not occur any longer.

The Huey P. Newton Gun Club, of Dallas, Texas

For the defense of the People of New Africa [link], a nation captive in the USA.



 

"N. TX demonstrators protest police shootings"
2014-08-20 from "myfoxdfw.com" [http://www.myfoxdfw.com/story/26328877/gun-club-patrols-south-dallas-streets]:
Several rallies took place Wednesday in both Dallas and Arlington, where demonstrators protested against police shootings.
The streets of downtown Dallas were filled Wednesday night with hundreds of demonstrators.
The rally started at 8 p.m. and was part of an event called Don't Shoot Dallas. It was sparked on social media with the hashtag #DontShoot.
Earlier Wednesday, other demonstrators held an open carry gun march through South Dallas to protest against police shootings.
Organizers there said the show of force served as a reminder of the right to bear arms to protect themselves from criminals and from police.
About 30 men and women with the Huey P. Newton Gun Club rallied through the streets, focusing on deadly police shootings from the Ferguson, MO shooting death of teen Michael Brown to shootings by local police.
Some carried long guns, rifles, shotguns and AR-15s, while others carried signs others and wore messages.
“I think it's a good thing,” said Reginald Cofer with Mothers Against Teen Violence.
“They are trying to protect the community,” said Jacey Cofer with Mothers Against Teen Violence. “At the city hall meeting the other day, we got no answers. It's been a bunch of murders, the cops are not being accountable for it, and we want answers.” 
The marchers entered a south Dallas restaurant with their weapons, where Dallas police officers inside were finishing eating lunch.
“My brother was killed by Dallas police back in June,” said David Harrison, whose brother, Jason, was shot and killed by Dallas police June 14.
Police were called to the Harrison home on that day by Jason's mother, and police said Jason lunged at them with a screwdriver.
Jason's family is still waiting for answers.
“Trying to have patience and just keeping busy staying with everything and hoping that the right thing is gonna be done,” said David.
People watched as the marchers worked their way along Malcolm X Boulevard, and Dallas police in a black SUV provided unsolicited security for the demonstrators.
One of them, Drew X with the New Black Panther Party, warned, “If they don't get these people under control with this police brutality and this abuse, this gonna be an international crisis.”
The gun club takes its name from Huey P. Newton, one of the founders of the original Black Panther Party that evolved in the 1960s.
UT Arlington students also peacefully protested against police brutality on Wednesday as well.
“It really hit home with me because of [Michael Brown's] age,” said UTA student and rally organizer Bryana Peoples. “He's within our generation and I feel our generation should know about this situation.” 
Former Arlington Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne believes there can and needs to be more mutual trust between police and the public.
“The vast majority of police officers in our country are decent, hardworking men and women trying to do their job under extraordinary circumstances, and I know because I spent 28 years as a police officer,” said Hawthorne.

"Ferguson Police Reportedly Shot Pastor Renita Lamkin With Rubber Bullet During Protest (PHOTOS)"
2014-08-14 by Yasmine Hafiz for "The Huffington Post"[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/14/ferguson-pastor-shot-police-rubber-bullet_n_5678973.html]:
A pastor said she was shot with a rubber bullet on Wednesday during a protest in Ferguson, Missouri, as clashes with police continued over the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
Renita Lamkin, an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor, told The Huffington Post that she was "standing in the middle of the street, with people behind me, and the police were in front of me." Lamkin said she was attempting to mediate between police and protesters the demonstration and told the police, "They're moving, they're leaving."
"And then there was a pop!" she said, as a rubber bullet struck her stomach.
Photos of her injuries have added to protesters' questions about the use of such projectiles, which can cause serious wounds [http://colorlines.com/archives/2014/08/10_tweets_munitions_in_ferguson.html].
Tensions with police have mounted since Brown's death on Saturday as crowds of protestors have demanded accountability and answers. The teen was walking with a friend on the street to his grandmother's house when he was pulled over by an officer. St. Louis police have said the shooting happened after Brown got into an altercation with the officer, whose name has not been released. As protests continue, with many residents saying the shooting was racially charged, images of tear gas, rubber bullets and tanks have horrified Americans watching the news unfold.
A widely circulated Instagram of Lamkin's injuries shows a large, bloody bruise. She said she was hit while standing, because her motto is, "Pray on your feet!"
‏Posted at @iamTnaz [https://twitter.com/iamTnaz/status/499911036950937601]: Rev. Renita Lamkin was praying and protesting with us yesterday and she was shoot with a rubber bullet… [http://instagram.com/p/rrjFXUw891/]


Jon Swaine [https://twitter.com/jonswaine], a reporter with The Guardian, witnessed Lamkin protesting while "calmly repeating, 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.'"

According to reports, she was part of a group of people who had gathered outside of the Ferguson Police Department to demand the release of Alderman Antonio French, who was arrested and later released [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/14/antonio-french_n_5677157.html].
A Vine post said, "This pastor was shot with a 60 cal rubber bullet but she's still here fighting the good fight and protecting others!"

Posted by Tef Poe/FootKlan at @TefPoe [https://twitter.com/TefPoe/status/499768123675795457]: We are outside the Ferguson PD demanding the release of Antonio French [http://instagram.com/p/rqiGDBirjB].

Tef Poe [https://twitter.com/TefPoe], a St. Louis-based recording artist recording many scenes of protest, wrote: [begin excerpt]
For all of those that claim this is a joke or think we are being irrational this lady is a pastor she was praying while they shot her .. We were outside waiting for the release of Antonio French and the armored vehicles showed up ! Tell me why this is acceptable? How is this right ? Mike Brown is more than a trending topic people are out here fighting for his legacy! We will have justice Ferguson Police Department your days are numbered I promise you this!!!!! hands up don't shoot !
[end excerpt]

Lamkin said her main goal was for "everybody to go home. The police and the people." She added, "We're not here to fight the police. We're here to fight the system."
 
After his release, French shared a picture of Lamkin on Twitter

[https://twitter.com/AntonioFrench/status/499979136874860546/photo/1].


Lamkin's son, rapper and recording artist Darren Jackson [https://twitter.com/yodarrenjackson], shared a photo of her protesting on Instagram, commenting, "Praying for my mom. Wishing I could be there with you on the front lines."

Lamkin said the best way for people of peace to heal the community's wounds is to "love people, love people. Listen to them."
"All people want is to be validated, to know their lives have value. People just want their voices to be heard," she said. "The people are hurting, and they need to be heard. And if you don't give people the opportunity to be heard, they'll take the opportunity to be heard."




White-American "KKK" calls for reward for security agent who murdered New African in Ferguson, Missouri (2014-08-14) [link]


"Police Murder in Ferguson, Missouri: March on Ferguson Is Needed to Demand Justice!"
2014-08-15 by Jim Hays for "the Organizer":
St. LOUIS -- Walking down the middle of the street in their home town of Ferguson, Missouri, Mike Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were technically jaywalking. But in no way was a violent response, much less a police execution -- which is what Brown's father has called it -- warranted.
There was a time when the residents of the African American community districts in North St. Louis City had better conditions. Many had good jobs with better wages in auto, electrical, ship building, and steel. Entire factories have since closed down or moved out of town. Poverty -- with an overall unemployment rate of 20%; and more than double that for Black youth -- is the order of the day in the suburbs of North St. Louis County.
These are districts that not long ago were predominantly white. But the government structures of these communities do not reflect the changing demographics of these areas. For example, 69% of the population is African American -- but only 16% of the City Council, the mayor, and three city cops are Black. The are no Black members on the Ferguson/Florissant school board.
Police harassment and abuse, especially of Black youth, is commonplace. There is a long record of police brutality by both Ferguson and St. Louis County police. One need only to remember the police murder of Anna Brown in Richmond Heights last year.
The facts of the Michael Brown public execution are well known given the public statements by his friend Dorian Johnson and by Ms. Mitchell, who were eye witnesses to the multiple shooting of this teenager. So far the police has not revealed the name of the killer cop.
The case has now been taken over by the St. Louis County Police Department -- but the community has absolutely no confidence in the ability of the St. Louis cops to police their own. Many community leaders and Black politicians have called for a federal investigation. Yet these investigations take a long time and often result in the cover-up of truth and justice.
What is really needed is an immediate National March of labor and community leaders in Ferguson to demand full justice for Michael Brown. An important step in this direction would be the creation of an independent civilian police review board with subpeona powers in St. Louis County.
What's also needed in the North County of St. Louis are independent labor-Black community candidates for City Council and school boards!
Bring to Justice the Murderer of Michael Brown!
For a National March on Ferguson!
For independent labor-community candidates in North St. Louis County!
---
UPDATE (August 15): The St. Louis City police were withdrawn from Ferguson on August 14, and the state's highway patrol has taken over, headed by a Black officer. Promises have been made that the name of the officer who murdered Michael Brown will be released and that reforms of the police department will be instituted. Labor and community activists in North County and elsewhere know full well that no changes will take place if there aren't powerful, independent mass actions to demand that the killer cop be brought to justice and an independent civilian review board is put into place. -- J.H.


"Ferguson Police Busted – Attempt To Defame Shooting Victim Blows Up In Their Face (VIDEO)"
2014-08-18 by Nathaniel Downes [www.addictinginfo.org/2014/08/18/ferguson-pd-busted]:
When the Ferguson police department released the name of Darren Wilson, they also chose to release video footage which they claimed was of Michael Brown robbing a convenience store for some cigars.

The problem is, the video shows Michael Brown at the register, paying for the cigars.
"Michael Brown, Ferguson Victim Paid For His Rellos" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=maA1FUJqhew]:
From observation, it looks as if he had tried to buy more, but then was unable to afford it, hence why he left several packets on the counter. This prompted the store owner to come out from behind the counter and have a discussion with him, which prompted the shove witnessed in the full video.
Whatever words were exchanged between the man in the video and the store owner, they were not considered very serious, as the store owner nor the employees did not report a theft at the store [http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/18/1322560/-Ferguson-Store-Owner-Says-NO-ONE-From-His-Store-Called-Cops-To-Report-Cigar-Theft]. According to the stores attorney, the owners were bewildered when the police approached them demanding the surveillance tapes.
The store owners are now afraid of themselves becoming a target, due to the Ferguson PD’s attempt to tie their store to the fateful shooting. A gross abuse of police authority, one which now puts someone else at risk.
Even if Michael Brown were a petty thief, this does not excuse the cold-blooded shooting death of the 18-year-old. Of course the right-wing took the robbery claim at face value, and began labeling Michael Brown as a ‘thug‘ who did not deserve due process.
But instead it looked like he was a teenager who was enjoying a few cigars which he purchased at the local store. The store owners did not claim he stole from them. Video evidence shows him paying for the cigars found on him. The police attempt to paint Michael Brown as anything but a victim is a complete and total fraud.
Michael Brown was to start college last Monday, and was preparing to start his own business upon graduation [http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/11/justice/michael-brown-missouri-teen-shot/]. Officer Wilson cut short a promising young man before he could truly get his start in the world. It is a story so tragic due not to this isolated case, but for how common this is in America [http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/08/17/its-not-just-ferguson-a-white-police-officer-kills-a-black-person-nearly-two-times-a-week-in-america/].
The United States is racing the results of decades of legitimized racism. Ever since President Reagan made it ok to bash the poor, so long as they were black [http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/10/14/welfare-queen-myth-must-die/], the progress in race relations in this country has been undone. Now we are facing the obvious result of this criminalization of African-Americans in the US. Is it not time to say enough is enough, and stop putting the blame on the victims?

"Veteran Cop: 'If You Don't Want To Get Shot,' Shut Up"
2014-08-19 posted by Nick Wing at [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/14/ferguson-pastor-shot-police-rubber-bullet_n_5678973.html#666_veteran-cop-if-you-dont-want-to-get-shot-shut-up]:
Sunil Dutta, a 17-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department and professor of homeland security at Colorado Tech University, has a suggestion for victims of police violence searching for someone to blame: Look in the mirror.
In a column published Tuesday in The Washington Post titled, "I’m a cop. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t challenge me," Dutta responds to mounting criticism of the policing tactics on display in Ferguson, Missouri, amid the hyper-militarization of law enforcement and accusations that officers have violated the First Amendment rights of both demonstrators and journalists covering the events. In a particularly telling passage, Dutta argues that citizens could deter police brutality if they were simply more cooperative, even when they're unjustly targeted.
"Even though it might sound harsh and impolitic, here is the bottom line: if you don’t want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you," he writes. "Don’t argue with me, don’t call me names, don’t tell me that I can’t stop you, don’t say I’m a racist pig, don’t threaten that you’ll sue me and take away my badge. Don’t scream at me that you pay my salary, and don’t even think of aggressively walking towards me. Most field stops are complete in minutes. How difficult is it to cooperate for that long?"


"ACLU: Ferguson police report on Michael Brown's death violates law; Heavily-redacted document omits key public information"
2014-08-22 by Jason Sickles for "Yahoo News" [http://news.yahoo.com/ferguson-releases-incomplete-police-report-on-death-of-michael-brown-221844542.html]:
A police report on the death of Michael Brown is missing key information and violates Missouri open records laws, an ACLU attorney told Yahoo News on Friday.
The two-page document, which the Ferguson Police Department released only after pressure from journalists and civil liberties advocates, is largely redacted or left blank. The most egregious omissions are the victim’s name and a description of the offense – the fatal shooting of Brown.
“They are breaking the law,” said Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Missouri.
The report, obtained by Yahoo News through the Missouri Sunshine Law, lists only the date, time and location. Fields for the type of incident, name of the complainant, and a summary of the circumstances are redacted.
“I’ve never seen an incident report that didn’t contain a description of the incident, at least on some basic level,” said Don Tittle, a veteran Texas civil and criminal attorney. “It makes you wonder if they don’t want to commit to a story.”
(Offense report filed by the Ferguson Police Department in the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown, 18, was killed by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. The shooting is under investigation [http://www.scribd.com/doc/237538105/Michael-Brown-Offense-Report].)

(Offense report filed by the St. Louis County Police Department in the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown, 18, was killed by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. The shooting is under investigation [www.scribd.com/doc/237539197/St-Louis-County-Offense-Report].)
The report comes nearly two weeks after Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, in broad daylight in the middle of a residential street.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson has said Wilson was attempting to get Brown and his friend, Dorian Johnson, to stop walking in the middle of the street when the officer realized the pair fit the description of suspects being sought in the theft of cigars from a nearby convenience store.
A scuffle ensued and, according to Jackson, a shot was fired inside the officer’s squad car as Brown attempted to grab Wilson’s gun.
But Johnson has told reporters that it was Wilson who was the aggressor and that Brown never went for the weapon. Instead, Johnson says Wilson shot his friend while Brown was trying to flee but had stopped and put his hands up in surrender.
The death has sparked nightly protests in the mostly-black St. Louis suburb. Allegations of racism and a lack of transparency about the shooting have been at the heart of sometimes violent clashes between demonstrators and police. Chief Jackson waited nearly a week before revealing the name of the officer who shot Brown at least six times.
The ACLU filed a lawsuit to try and compel Ferguson to make the disclosure [http://www.aclu-mo.org/download_file/view_inline/1262/535/]. But their attorney told Yahoo News that the incomplete police report just adds to the mistrust in Ferguson.
“It doesn’t tell us anything,” Rothert said. “We have to imagine what is there because it is all redacted.”
Missouri’s Sunshine Law [http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/C600-699/6100000100.HTM] states law enforcement agencies must promptly provide incident reports that include among other things, “name of the victim and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding the initial report of a crime or incident.”
Devin James, a contract spokesperson hired by the City of Ferguson since Brown’s death, told Yahoo News that questions about the report’s missing information “are beyond the scope of what my team can respond to.” He referred questions to City Attorney Stephanie Karr, who didn’t immediately reply.
Officer Wilson, 28, is on paid leaving pending the outcome of multiple investigations. A St. Louis County Circuit Court grand jury began hearing testimony about the shooting this week. The U.S. Department of Justice is also investigating possible civil rights violations.
The state investigation is being conducted by the St. Louis County Police Department. A copy of their offense report does list Brown as the victim, but doesn’t give a summary of what happened [http://www.scribd.com/doc/237539197/St-Louis-County-Offense-Report].
The county’s report reveals that the larger metro department didn’t receive a call on the Aug. 9 shooting until 12:43 p.m., about 40 minutes after Brown was killed.
“So we have no idea what happened during those 43 minutes,” Rothert said. “It just adds to the complete lack of transparency about what happened.”
Last week, Chief Jackson gave members of the media 19 pages of police documents, photos and video from a convenience store robbery that occurred shortly before the fatal shooting. Police said they believe Brown and Johnson had just stolen cigars at the store before crossing paths with Officer Wilson on their way home.
“They have obviously taken the shooting of Michael Brown less seriously than the alleged robbery of cigarillos,” Rothert said. “That’s pretty disturbing.”

New Africa vanguard NBPP guards the people protesting police violence in Ferguson, Missouri

New Africans defending the People at Ferguson, in the State of Missouri [link]
Note: the following is written for a monopolist media agency whose target audience are capitalists (yes, really). The author conflates all people as "protesters", despite there being no organization to the people.

"Protesters in Missouri Loot Businesses"
2014-08-16 by Ben Kesling for "Dow Jones Newswires":
FERGUSON, Mo.--Protesters here began smashing glass windows and looting local businesses early Saturday morning, before others calling for calm stepped in and barricaded broken windows to prevent further theft.
After two days of peaceful protests following the appointment of new police leadership meant to settle anger that has been simmering since the police-involved shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9.
Just after midnight, protesters who had been content to stay on the sidewalks all Friday moved en mass into the streets and confronted police officers who donned riot gear and drove up in armored vehicles for the first time since Wednesday.
Protesters wore bandannas over their faces and chanted "No justice, no peace" as police, formed in a line, used a megaphone saying "You must clear the roadway or face arrest."
Men who said they were members of the New Black Panther Party worked to push protesters back and maintain order while instigators cursed the police and some ran around the side of a nearby building to grab pre-made Molotov cocktails, though none was lighted or thrown.
Some young men in masks kicked in the front door of a liquor store, and looting began as men started grabbing armfuls of bottles from the store.
The front glass door of a beauty supply store was also kicked in, but other men quickly stood guard in front of the store to prevent looters from going in.
"We don't loot, we're just standing up for what we believe in," said a man standing in front of the store who declined to give his name. [NOTE: the man is guarding the store, but the article's author and his editor are making it appear that the man is a looter!]
"Nobody's in there right now," said another man, wearing a hoodie, who wouldn't give his name.
Police slowly advanced in a line toward the crowds, but stopped short of engaging them as the looting subsided.
"It's not serving the purpose," said James Bryant, a 31-year-old from St. Louis as he watched a young man rummage through a mobile phone store after smashing a glass door "The cause was to prevent police brutality."
Looters and protesters soon scattered, driving their cars down side streets as some said they were worried about the safety of their vehicles if the police advanced further.
After about an hour, looting was under control with protesters and police at a standoff.

"KKK raising money for ‘hero’ Ferguson cop who shot ‘Jewish controlled black thug’"

The Ku Klux Klan is soliciting funds for the police officer in Ferguson, Missouri who shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown, 18.
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Watch blog reported that the South Carolina-based New Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan boasted that its Missouri chapter is raising money as a “reward” for the officer [http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2014/08/13/kkk-raising-money-for-police-officer-who-shot-african-american-teen/].
“We are setting up a reward/fund for the police officer who shot this thug,” said an email from the Klan group. “He is a hero! We need more white cops who are anti-Zog and willing to put Jewish controlled black thugs in their place. Most cops are cowards and do nothing while 90 percent of interracial crime is black (and non-white) on white.”
An Arizona Klan chapter wrote on its blog, “We know that Michael Brown was nothing more than a punk. The media and others are painting him out to be a ‘good son’ and ‘great kid.’ The blacks of Missouri are showing their love of him by rioting, attacking and shooting people. Nothing new.”
Hate Watch blogger Don Terry said that attempts to communicate with the Klan’s Imperial Wizard Chuck Murray went unanswered [http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2014/08/13/kkk-raising-money-for-police-officer-who-shot-african-american-teen/].
On Thursday, the hacking collective Anonymous claimed to reveal the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown. Ferguson police had been reluctant to reveal the officer’s name for fear of retribution.

New Africans defending the People at Ferguson, in the State of Missouri

Freedom for the captive nation of New Africa [link]!
Ferguson has a population of c.22,000, over 70% New African (Black), no homicides throughout 2014, with a Police Department which does not recognize human rights or civil rights for residents, and is composed of 95% of the dominant Settler nation (the self described White American). Public executions of law abiding residents are a casual reminder of the dominant order over the captive nation of New Africa.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL BROWN!!!

Dude had got something from the store, from what I was told he didn't steal..was headed home and a cop rolled over his foot and he turned around and kicked the door. The cop got out and they argues and tussled and the cop shot em. After the young man was shot, he put his hands up to surrender and the cop shot em in the head and empties the rest of the clip n his Chest..then put another clip in and shot from what I was told..
My brother up there at Ferguson.. that's what everybody saying up there..
I find it very suspenseful that they had enough time to tape off the entire area..... Yet I see no investigators, no markers on the ground, n no ambulance....! But yet.... Why are there so many police officers there??


(Comment posted 2014-08-15) I know the police place that red hat at the scene...it show a red hat on the scene in the news video but all others video I've watch from witnesses posting from their cell phones there is no red hat no where near mike body or no where on the street. So how is he been accuse of the the convenience store strong arm robbery??? Now could this be a mistaken wrong identity?? So police had to place a red ball cap at the crime scene so it could fit the description of the convenience store robbery??

NBPP St. Louis Chapter has been organizing in the community, and had already organized a platform of unity against public executions conducted by Ferguson PD, united with many cultural vanguards of New Africa across many so-called "class lines". Chawn Kweli, National Chief of Staff for the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), has an account at Facebook.com [facebook.com/chawn.kweli], and is posting updates on the community's unity against the public execution of Michael Brown.

What is interesting is the kind of weapons the police are bringing out on the people. The people must think they are in Iraq. Then they bring out the dogs like they are back in Selma, Alabama. You also have police intelligence's unit taking pictures like they working for the NSA. Why are they taking this approach against residents in their own city? (This is a rhetorical question by the way).
The people of St. Louis are upset, and rightly so. The good thing is that they are demonstrating their feelings with action. This is another of many reasons why we need a National Black Liberation Assembly.

The wife of a Ferguson Police agent posted the following statement:


Sunday, August 10th, Peaceful march by New African community members, including children and elders.
This was met by a vicious attack by the Police, who proceeded to arrest random people.
Later, in the evening, a United street action went forward with expropriating the wealth of the dominating class. Witnesses reported disciplined formations gathering items needed by the New African community, and distributing the items on an as-needed basis. Others took advantage of the situation and took what they could find. Nobody is hurt.

Period point blank the whole story sounds fishy. The "subject" assaulted the officer & then a struggle ensued inside the car? Bullshit he would've been cuffed & in the back seat. It aint like the fasten a seatbelt on ya. Then the deadly shooting took place 35ft from the car. The big question is.... How the hell did the VICTIM get out of the car? Police cars are unable to be opened.from the inside. Like a child safety lock. Smh they should've went over this out loud before the went to the media cuz it.sounds like total nonsense. If that poor baby grabbed the gun his finger prints would be on it. Then to.mention toxicology results, smh. Are they talkin bout the officer cuz he had to.be on something other than coffee & donuts. But all they are.gonna try & do is.say is Mike had marijuana in his system just like they did Treyvon. See they see blacks killing blacks & figure they will just blend in. Not every victim is a gang member or drug addict.
How the hell u don't know how many times he was shot when you just said you recovered all the shell's?

NATIONAL OUTRAGE OVER BLATANT POLICE MISCONDUCT AND MURDER OF UNARMED BLACK TEEN; NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY CALLS FOR CITY-WIDE COP WATCH AND POLICE PATROLS!"
2014-08-10 press release from the NBPP:
Michael Brown a black teenager killed Saturday by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb was unarmed, the city’s police chief confirmed today. Claims of a physical altercation with the officer unsubstantiated by any outside information.
The New Black Panther St. Louis chapter of the New Black Panther Party has called for "organized police patrols, and local cop watches to intervene in areas known for police abuses and misconduct according to NBPP Regional commander Daryl Hawkins. "The actions of the Fergusion Police Department cannot be separated from the local government and the FOP (fraternal order of police) policy against young Black youth." 18-year-old Michael Brown was murdered in Ferguson, which is a predominantly black suburb a few miles north of downtown St. Louis. Pressure is now on Police Chief Jon Belmar of St. Louis County, to respond to numerous complaints of Police misconduct under his watch.
The officer who murdered Michael Brown has been placed on paid administrative leave, and on the force for six years.
Michael Brown's grandmother Desiree Harris reported, "she had seen her grandson Brown running in her neighborhood Saturday afternoon when she passed him in her car heading home. Upon arrival she heard a loud commotion and went outside to see what it was and that is where she found Brown's body, less than two block away.
Miss Harris said, "He was running this way," "When I got up there, my grandson was lying on the pavement. I asked the police what happened. They didn't tell me nothing."
The following the shooting the New Black Panther Party organized hundreds into the street leaving their apartments and igniting protests and a confrontation that lasted late into the night.
Over a dozen of police cars remained parked near the scene as mourners left makeshift memorials in the middle of the street.
Police at the scene called for backup with approximately about 60 other police units flooding the area of Ferguson, a city of about 21,000 residents.
Distraught relatives did all they could in the moment to "make sense" of the atrocity gathering all the information available by talking with neighbors and by-standers. Michael Brown's mother Lesley McSpadden and stepfather Louis Head were also present.
Step father Louis Head protested with a makeshift sign that read, "Ferguson police just executed my unarmed son!!!"
As the crowd grew so did the anger confronted local officers, shouting "Kill the Police"and "Klu Klux Klan."
Fresh in mind is the 2012 shooting of a 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, a self appointed Florida neighborhood watchman who was subsequently acquitted of murder charges, also well the recent death of Eric Garner in New York, who died from an illegal police chokehold.
Hashim Nzinga, New Black Panther Party National Chairman said, "Looks like open season on Black men and women." He continued, "we will not sit back and watch our people murdered in cold blood by police or otherwise, without a worthy response."
Mr. Nzinga confirmed, " I have spoken with the step- father of Michael Brown ... I will be on the ground in St. Louis to deal with this head on. In conclusion he stated, "black people must know their rights to Self - Defense against any aggressor and understand that the only way to deal with a bully is to fight back."

Whatever perverse view the Ferguson police officer had of Michael Brown — and all Black men like him — before taking his life and leaving him to lay in his blood for hours afterward, his mother has made sure to counter such characterizations. Lesley McSpadden described her now-fallen son as a boy with the sort of disposition that made him more like “a big teddy bear” as opposed to someone who deserved to be slaughtered like a dog in the street. McSpadden went on to explain, “He was a good boy. He deserved none of this. We need justice for our son.”
No stranger to this kind of disregard toward Black people’s humanity, attorney Benjamin Crump, who has since been retained by Brown’s parents, made his thoughts clear at a recent press conference. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it, their baby was executed in broad daylight,” Crump noted. “We want to know and see exactly what happened because this family rejects what the police authorities said at their press conference.”
As does Michael Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, who along with other eyewitnesses, disputed Brown’s killer’s claims that he shoved the officer and tried to wrestle the officer’s gun from him.
Any Black man living in this country and who values his life knows better than to tempt fate that way.
The truth may be less imaginative but no less chilling: Even when we don’t fight back, our presence is still intimidating to the point where select members of law enforcement feel no choice but to shoot us dead.
Such a revelation brings justified anger, and while Brown’s parents have encouraged protesters to remain peaceful, their rage is understandable.
Protesters arrived with signs and peaceful discourse and were greeted with dogs, rubber bullets, and tear gas.
And as New York Times correspondent Julie Bosman reported via Twitter, these rubber bullets were even shot in the direction of journalists and photographers. Meanwhile, area police officers describe the scene as a “war zone” and even when protesters sought an exit, the police reportedly blocked them from locating one. There’s since been word of one police officer referring to protesters as “fucking animals” during coverage on CNN.
Yet, some wonder why some of the protesters supposedly sang, “F*ck the police.”
And while I don’t necessarily excuse the acts of looters and those described as “rioters,” I do have empathy. This is why I take issue with Jonathan Capeheart’s “A Shameful Way To Protest the Michael Brown Shooting,” where he writes, “This is not how you make authorities understand your anger and concern. This is not how you get others to join your cause.”
You mean the authorities who shot a Black child in cold blood, left him in the street for hours as some sort of “example” to other people in his area, and greet peaceful protest with nothing but contempt and the intent to further antagonize? The same authorities who employ individuals who refer to the rightfully angry public as “f*cking animals.” The authorities who enter their neighborhood and limit their access?
I am not in the business of policing people’s emotions particularly with respect to dire situations such as these. Anger has its consequences, including irrational behavior. It doesn’t make it right, but learn to have compassion for people in a situation you have yet to experience. There’s a time for discussions on personal responsibility and there’s a time to look at tragedy and respect the rightful rage it creates.
Many people are angry and they are running on empty.
I am tired of having to write about people like Michael Brown. The same goes for 22-year-old John Crawford III, who was shot and killed after holding a BB gun in a Walmart. Like Brown’s mother, Crawford’s father described his son fondly, saying, “He was a good son and a good Father to his two children.”
We shouldn’t have to quantify our lives this way.
It doesn’t even matter if Michael Brown was a “big teddy bear” heading to college or that John Crawford was a good Dad. No matter what kind of personalities they had, there was no reason to slaughter them this way. We shouldn’t have to worry that once our lives are unjustly stripped from us, we will be purposely vilified in order to excuse our killers’ actions — as evidenced in the trending topic #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, and more hauntingly, in both trials relating to the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Renisha McBride.
Structural racism, widening economic inequality, a gun manufacturing lobby so hell bent on making money that they’ll probably see to it that guide dogs for the blind receive gun permits, plus the continuation of the militarization of police have all helped it be open season on Black people. You can’t help but feel exhaustion, grief, and yes, anger.  To some, such rage may not “help our cause,” but the alternative clearly has its limitations too.
Cooler heads should prevail, but be clear about who the real hotheads causing trouble are.

"Breaking Video: Al Sharpton Heckled at St Louis Presser – “Are You Here To Snitch On The Rioters?”
2014-08-12 [link]:
Rev. Al Sharpton was in St. Louis Tuesday at the request of the family of the deceased 18-year-old Michael Brown. Sharpton held a press conference in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis at 12:30 Tuesday afternoon. FOX 2 reported that Sharpton spoke out against the violence in Fergurson and other parts of the area.  He also pushed for the arrest of the police officer who shot Brown.
Sharpton was heckled by Progressives Today reporter Adam Sharp on his informant past with the FBI.
Adam Sharp: Sir, the term “Snitches Get Snitches” was spray painted on the burned out QuikTrip. Since you are a federal snitch, sir, do you fear for your life?
Al Sharpton: I’m not a snitch. (Not true) But today I want to tell the feds about a cop that needs to go to jail.
Sharp: Are you in fear for your life being a federal informant and…
Sharpton: I want to inform on this policeman today.
Sharp: Are you here to snitch on the rioters?… Are you here to work with your FBI partners?
Sharpton: (no response)
(“Snitches Get Stitches” was spray painted on the side of the QuikTrip that was looted and destroyed on Sunday.)

(2014-07-14 from Mike, on the Police violence of Wednesday night, 2014-08-13):
Local media reported on the police coming into the local McDonalds and beating up reporters from the Washington Post and Huffington Post. They also filmed the police firing many canisters of gas at a team of reporters from Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera was no where near the rioters. They were there filming the police. At least two local broadcast media were quickly surrounded by military armed police with guns being poked at the media and being told to get out of the area. These are police state tactics to intimidate and remove any reporting.


Meanwhile, Police ordered all live streamers and all cameras OFF and to leave the area. Here's a screengrab from one Streamer refusing to turn off his camera, "I am Mike Brown Live from Ferguson, MO" by KARG Argus Radio [http://new.livestream.com/accounts/9035483/events/3271930]:

2014-08-13 comment: If this is the same thing I was watching on the live video feeds, this might have been when police used a sound device and teargas on a crowd of protestors who were standing PEACEFULLY, hands up, and police gave them three warnings before firing tear gas and rubber bullets. In a residential neighborhood. News outlets were told to turn off their cameras beforehand. Read the Ferguson tag on twitter, it's still updating frequently (though the live feed link is a half-hour video from earlier in the evening; all live feeds have turned in for the night since things have calmed down somewhat, but many tweeting are watching the same vid for the first time.)

2014-08-13 Comment: How can they stay inside when everything is barricaded. People cant even get home. The police are pushing them back.

People's Organization for Progress
PRESS CONFERENCE!
"MOTHER OF NJ POLICE BRUTALITY VICTIM CALLS FOR FERGUSON SOLIDARITY MARCH! CALLS UPON US ATTORNEY TO INVESTIGATE HER SON'S DEATH!"
On Saturday, August 16, 2014, Michele Kamal, the mother of Abdul Kamal who was shot and killed by Irvington, New Jersey police officers, will appear at a press conference tomorrow to call upon people to participate in a march for against police brutality and a particular call for justice in the case of Michael Brown, killed by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer.
The press conference will take place at 12:00 noon at the Lincoln Monument located in front of the Essex County Courthouse at the intersection of Springfield Ave and West Market Street in downtown Newark, New Jersey.
This is the site where the march will begin next week.
The march itself will take on Wednesday, August 20th at 5pm.
The Brown case has drawn the ire of African-Americans all over the country, especially since it appears that this young man was shot with his hands up! Ferguson, near St. Louis, became the scene of mass protests and a minor uprising early in the aftermath of Brown’s killing. The manner of Brown’s death and the heavy militarized policing of the protests have drawn revulsion from all quarters of public opinion. This past Thursday, August 14th, was a national day of outrage in solidarity Brown, his family and that angry community. Local students organized a ‘Hands up’ moment of silence that drew nearly 100 young people to Newark City Hall steps.
Brown’s killing also comes on the heels of the recent chokehold police killing of Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY, an ugly incident captured on videotape!
“People are saying in the streets what we’ve been saying all along, that police brutality is a national issue,” said Lawrence Hamm, the founding chairman for the People’s Organization for Progress.
In addition for calling for Wednesday’s solidarity march, Ms. Kamal will also discuss her son's case and call upon Paul Fishman, the US Attorney for New Jersey, to investigate the matter. Abdul Kamal was slain by Irvington police officers outside his home on November 11th, 2013 in a hail of fifteen shots, ten striking him fatally! He was proven to have been unarmed and had his hands in the pockets of his sweathood when he was senselessly shot. The People’s Organization for Progress has already co-hosted two protest marches for the Kamal case.
Wednesday’s march will also be dedicated to the late Mary Weaver, who was P.O.P’s secretary general and vice-chair for internal affairs. Ms. Weaver came into the organization in 1999 in the aftermath of losing her only child, Randy Weaver in a police killing. Incredibly, she would then turn her unimaginable pain into power and became a highly respected and sought after force for justice against police brutality in her own right! She passed away suddenly last week.
On Saturday, August 23rd, the People’s Organization will also participate in a mass march across the Verrazano Bridge to protest Eric Garner’s death as a consequence of a police chokehold. The march is initiated by the National Action Network. Details forthcoming…




Context of Fascism in St. Louis County and Ferguson:
"St. Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch to Study Counter-Terrorism in Israel"
2011-03-25 press release from St. Louis County Police:
For a week next mo., St Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch, along with law enforcement officials from across the United States, will visit Israel to learn how Israel's police, intelligence and security forces prevent terror attacks. The weeklong program is part of Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) National Counter-Terrorism Seminar which will include visiting the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tiberias.
The ADL delegation consists of law enforcement leaders from the largest police departments in the United States as well as from the nation's capital and from federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Over the course of a week, participants will be briefed by senior members of the Israel National Police as well as officials from the Israel Defense Forces and Intelligence /Security organizations. Chief Fitch stated: "Our Department currently houses the St. Louis Terrorism Early Warning (TEW) Group which is the region's fusion center serving the city of St Louis and seven counties in Missouri and Illinois. The fusion center combines the efforts of law enforcement, (local, state and federal), public safety and private entities with the primary goal of gathering and sharing information concerning homeland security. National and state-wide level terrorist assessment and the dissemination of generated information is an on-going process. We serve the region with a multijurisdictional approach emphasizing the protection of critical infrastructure.
Chief Fitch added: "We will also discuss contemporary counterterrorism issues facing the people of Israel, such as the bombing of a bus station yesterday in Jerusalem. I am confident that this will be a unique learning experience offered nowhere else in the world. I consider it a great honor that I was chosen to attend"
