DESCRIPTION:
On Saturday, July 6, 2002, 16-year old Donovan Jackson and his father

Coby Chavis were attacked by officers of the Inglewood Police

Department and the Lennox Sheriff's Station. Coby Chavis sat

handcuffed in the back of a police car and watched helplessly as his

son Donovan was beaten, slammed onto the hood of a police car, then

punched in the face by Inglewood Police Officer Jeremy Morse, all

while Donovan was handcuffed and barely conscious. Parts of this

incident were videotaped by Mitchell Crooks, a `good samaritan'

staying at a motel across the street from where this assault was

taking place.



Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley ordered Mitchell Crooks to

appear before the Los Angeles County Grand Jury to testify about what

he saw on July 6. Crooks, fearing for his safety, refused and was

later tracked down and abducted by "officers of the District

Attorney."



FOUR POLICE OFFICERS ON THE SCENE OF DONOVAN'S ASSAULT WERE ORDERED

TO TESTIFY ALSO. THESE OFFICERS REFUSED TO DO SO. DA STEVE COOLEY

DID NOT SEND HIS `MEN IN BLACK' TO WHISK THEM AWAY, NOR WERE THESE

OFFICERS THREATENED WITH JAIL TIME.

THEY WERE OFFERED IMMUNITY FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION!!!



What did these officers do to Donovan and his father that made them

decide to take the 5th Amendment? Why didn't DA Steve Cooley also

bring them before the Grand Jury on criminal charges?



ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

NO MORE POLICE CRIMES!!!

NO MORE JESSE JAMES INVESTIGATING FRANK JAMES!!!!

SHOW YOUR OUTRAGE BY TAKING TO THE STREETS!!!!!



Join the Donovan Jackson-Chavis Justice Committee as we protest the

actions of Los Angeles County District Attorney and the Grand Jury!



Wednesday, August 14

4:00 pm

210 West Temple Street in Downtown L.A.
