Face of Evil — Officer  Jason Van Dyke who executed Laquan McDonald

 
Since the Laquan McDonald video was released, thousands of people have poured out into the streets in weeks of protests.

Yet the police continue to kill, and the very powers-that-be who covered up for the cops are stalling for time, working to suppress and diffuse the outrage and protest by promising “investigations” and “reforms,” for example getting more tasers.

No. We cannot let them get away with this, we will not get used to police terror. We are not waiting for reforms.

Stopping police killings is going to take a movement of mass, defiant and determined resistance. Our simple demands are: STOP POLICE KILLINGS! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?  Indict All the killer Cops and All Those Who Are Part of the Cover-ups. Send Them All to Jail.

We Call For A Powerful Day of Resistance Against Police Killings. Wednesday, March 2.

Protests will disrupt the evening rush hour. This action is meant to draw the line to challenge people from all walks of life — from the people most under the terror of the police, to people from the suburbs who feel this outrage is intolerable — to take a stand: POLICE KILLINGS MUST STOP!
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

There is no neutral. We cannot allow the police to continue to murder with impunity and get away with it with the approval and complicity of the institutions of so-called “justice.”

Please bring your families, friends and co-workers and raise your voice so that Tony’s death at the hands of the City and State will not be forgotten- Andrea Irwin, Tony’s mother.
 
No More Stolen Lives Tour Spring 2016

The focus of this tour is to take the message Police Terror Must Be STOPPED and our challenge, Which Side Are You On? to college campuses. The tours will also do events at religious institutions and in communities, but the campuses are key. Think of the important struggles of the 1960’s and how students taking them up was a key element in how they became part of a wave of massive resistance that rocked the whole system back on its heels. When the students decided they needed to take a stand on these key social issues, it made a huge difference. The same thing needs to happen to STOP police terror, and these tours need to be part of making campuses a key front in the fight to stop it. Basically the students and others who are at the tour events need to come away from them feeling challenged to join in acting to stop murder by police.
