SO THEY DID COMMIT A CRIME. SO F-CK-NG WHAT? On the Police Murder of Black, Chicano and Amerindian Criminals 3 of 3) 1. This vid, apparently broadcast by Faux Noise, allegedly shows that the late Mike Brown was stealing some cigars. But is stealing cigars a capital offense? And even if Brown did steal them isnt he as an American citizen entitled to due process of law? And are cops entitled to act as judge, jury and executioner? No, yes, and no. ALSO OF NOTE 2. In August 1970, as the Chicano Movement assembled in Laguna Park (now Ruben Salazar Park) in East Los Angeles to launch the Chicano Moratorium and announce the establishment of a national Chicano alliance, a MASSIVE force of LA County deputies supplemented by other local police forces descended on the gathering visiting violent force upon the crowd which included women and children. Their excuse was that these cops, numbering over one hundred, were supposedly in pursuit of a Chicano youth who allegedly stole a six pack of beer from a nearby liquor store. The melee resulted in the death of KMEX correspondent Ruben Salazar, who at that same time was investigating police brutality against the LA Chicano community and had recently hit very revealing pay dirt. 3.) In early 1973, Bureau of Indian Affairs forces along with the FBI descended on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation at Wounded Knee, South Dakota and likewise subjected the local Indians to violence and terror. The excuse that time was supposedly that a local Indian youth stole a pair of cowboy boots from a local leather goods store and sought cover among these Indians who at that moment were mounting a self-defensive campaign against white corporate efforts to take some of their lands. The result was several deaths on both sides, along with the decapitation of the local American Indian Movement chapter, and also the political jailing of Aim leader and spokesman Leonard Peltier, who is still languishing in federal prison for trumped up charges. Law enforcement is quite selectively used in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
