Would cops lie? of course not!\r\n\r\nPolice forced themselves on my and my mother's home this week. They threatened my elderly mother with force if she didnt let them in. I accidentally pressed 911 on the speed dial and hung up before there was a connection. Both my mother and myself explained the situation to them when they showed up. They insisted on violating our home "for our protection"\r\nI told them very clearly that they were not here to protect me. The police and fbi have been harrassing me across state and international lines for years now. Both my mother and I made it very clear that we didnt want them in our home. My mother was frightened and upset by the situation. I had to wake her up since this took place late at night. My mother is a sweet woman, well liked in the neighborhood and she has a heart condition.\r\n\r\nThe police should not be taken for their word regarding Mathew Lamont (or anything else) and he deserves our support. The alleged fascist get together that he was sopposted to have been planning to bomb didnt even take place as the police claimed, according to postings by the good people at the Long Beach Infoshop.\r\n\r\nPlease help Mathew Lamont!","author":"charles amsellem","parent_id":20593,"mime_type":"image\/gif","created":"2002-10-25 15:36:36","modified":"2005-08-15 01:03:27","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2002\/10\/freemat2.gif","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2002\/10\/freemat2.gif"}},{"id":20615,"heading":"?","article":"t-mex, mathew lamont doesn't even have a web page. shuttup and stop spreading disinformation.\r\n\r\n","author":"rtf","parent_id":20593,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-10-25 17:55:22","modified":"2002-10-25 17:55:22","fileurl":""},{"id":20618,"heading":"Free Mumia and Matthew","article":"Free Matthew Lamont!
