"The demographics of Africans in the United States, the economic, political, and social patterns of areas with predominately Black populations fit the profile of a colonized people. White supremacy at the root of the American Republic has created and nurtured an internal Colony of over 30 million people of African ancestry. This internal colony is occupied day and night by militarized police and armed counterinsurgency units masquerading as "Street Crime Units" "Anti-Gang Task Forces" and "Community Policing Units". Today the "Black Experience" in America, regardless of your class status, has as its core feature the malevolent and omnipresence of the Police state and terror of racist police brutality. Black people control nothing in their territorial enclaves defiantly labelled "the Hood". It is time that people of African ancestry pursued their own interests, took control of their immediate environment, and reigned in the occupying armed forces of police who murder with impunity, beat, brutalize, and demean without censure. It is time for direct community control of Public Safety. It is time for Decentralization of Urban Police Departments. It is time the police live, love, and die in the communities they take an oath to protect. It is time that local communities, along with street organizations, determine Public safety policy. It is time to reign in the Gangs in Blue, and reorganize street gangs, by any means necessary. In the age of "Shock doctrines" and "Disaster Democracy" People of African ancestry should take control of Urban Police Departments that are out of control. If Black elected officials, Black cops, and Clergy of all stripe are serious about reigning in the terror and anxiety rife in African-American communities, then they should be the first to heed the cry of the suffering and powerless urban poor and help insure that come the national election referendums demanding decentralization of Police and Public safety are on the ballot. It is no longer about reform, police sensitivity training, community complaint review boards, and increasing black faces in blue uniforms – we "done been there, done that - it is about power – the power to control the legitimate organs of state violence and make defend the integrity of our community, families, and children. Join The Cease Fire in our Communities – Take control of the Police in our Community by any means necessary!" Dhoruba Bin Wahad
