DESCRIPTION:
MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION AT INGLEWOOD POLICE STATION! Friday July 12, @ 10 am. located at: 1 Manchester blvd. Community residents became outraged after seeing video footage of Inglewood police officers beating a black 16-year-old. Police slammed the teenager on the hood of the police car, and punched him in the face. This continuous brutality by LAPD has communities outraged. At a press conference/rally on July 9th, community residents, mothers and fathers expressed outrage as they condemned the injustices that haunt us every day on the streets of this police state. One women, a mother and resident of Inglewood expressed said "No more fighting fire with water! It's time to fight fire with fire!". After the press conference, a marched pursued into the city hall and up onto the 9th floor where the council room was taken over with loud chants and angry demonstrators waiting to hear Major speak on behalf of the police beating. The major expressed 'mourn' on behalf of the Incident and stated the police had no justification for their brutal acts. However this did not satisfy many angry community residents as their outrage couldn't be cooled off by another repetitive act of "mourn" by a city politician. One man confronted the Major as he was leaving, calling him out for his false character as someone representing the black community, and "house-negro" behavior. "Fuck you!" he said. "I just done serving 9 years in jail!". The man complained that the major wasn't doing anything but simply making a speech to get attention. Police brutality continues on daily on the streets of Inglewood and Los Angeles and another speech by the mayor isn't going to cut it for many of those in the community who are still in outrage. "I'm telling everyone not to vote for your ass anymore!" the man told the major before he exited the floor in an elevator. "They've been attacking us for over 400 years" said another man. "this country, america is the most violent country in the world". The crowed then proceeded out to the front of the building where the rally ended and people dispersed peacefully. COME FOR MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION @ INGLEWOOD POLICE STATION! OUR STREETS HAVE BEEN HIJACKED BY AN ARMY THAT CONTINUES TO REPRESS OUR COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY! IT'S TIME TO FIGHT BACK! STOP THE BRUTALITY! STOP THE RACISM! RECLAIM YOUR STREETS, RECLAIM YOUR DIGNITY, RECLAIM YOUR FREEDOM! Friday July 12, @ 10 am. located at: 1 Manchester blvd.
