questions and suggestions relating to the LAPD murder of 13 year old

The LAPDs murder of 13 year old Devin Brown is....typical, for poor working blacks and browns of LA. The LAPD isn't exactly going any further than typical procedure except for the fact that it has been getting decent media coverage and this time the black man wasn't a a man at all, but a child. The problem isn't some tactical error that the department will look into, review and fix, but rather a systematic problem. Most of the Blacks and Browns in LA know this (not necessarily from a political stand point, they just know the cops are fucked, and it isn't just a few bad apples) the problem is that progressives, radicals and revolutionaries around southern CA aren't recognizing that they should be aligning themselves with these people, these families, who are suffering and begin organizing anti police programs within neighborhoods. The cameras are pointed on the LAPD and south LA right now, and there is a chance to get in touch with gangs, families, community members, etc., and start to do some serious anti police work within the next couple weeks. Cop Watch programs, a militant cop killer march, self defense trainings. Show that we are ready to get down with the cops just as much as anyone who has to deal with police harassment, raids, murders, and fear that comes with the LAPD rolling around their neighborhoods.

Wake up, it's time to organize. "Self Defense, by any means necessary."
