"#1 gang here is the police"

from the Occupy Chicago for Anaheim Solidarity Group (via InterOccupy):

FRI 7/27 – ANAHEIM SOLIDARITY MARCH
8PM, MILLENNIUM PARK, 201 E. RANDOLPH

On Saturday, July 21, Anaheim, CA police officers murdered 25-year-old Manuel Diaz, shooting him in the back and head as he ran from them. When Manuel’s friends, family and neighbors gathered to voice outrage over the murder, police responded with continued violence, releasing an attack dog, as well as shooting rubber bullets and beanbag projectile at the crowd, which included small children. Subsequent protests have been met with additional force, resulting in multiple injuries and arrests.

The ad-hoc Anaheim Solidarity Group in Chicago calls for a march to be held in support of those facing continued police violence and state repression in Anaheim. Participants will gather this Friday, July 27th, at 8pm in Millennium Park, at 201 E Randolph, where they will create banners, signs, and chalk messages in solidarity with Anaheim. The march will step off at 9pm.

Marta Marlin of the Anaheim Solidarity Group says,

Chicago is no stranger to police violence. The Chicago Police Department is at war with our low-income communities, and communities of color. We remember Rekia Boyd, gunned down by an off-duty police officer this March, and the victims of torture at the hands of Chicago police officers, who were recently awarded millions in court settlements. Enough is enough! We stand in solidarity with the people of Anaheim, as we continue our own struggles against police violence and oppression.

We need to continue to struggle, no matter what, against any attacks upon us and any violations of our basic humane rights.

What went down in Anaheim in terms of the killing of Manuel Diaz could easily happen in many other communities, Maybe the Local Police Departments want to instigate riots so they can get more money, funds and equipment from Homeland Security. A lot of local cities and towns are hurting for cash money.

Let us support the good people of Anaheim! Unite People! With Liberty and Justice for All! Peter S. López AKA @Peta_de_Aztlan c/s/

Anaheim is EVERYWHERE! who will these lying, thieving, corrupt, psychopathic bullies shoot in the back next? it could be you! it will be you!!!! there are two unmistakeable truths of biblical prophecy, not the delusional garbage that the crucifixion merchants put out! in daniel2 the stone cut out without hands is the silicon chip that grows into a great mountain that fills the whole earth which is the worldwide web, the internet. this leads to AUTOMATION and MASS UNEMPLOYMENT. the end of the curse of work. the end of the work ethic BS. in revelations it says there shall be no more curse. no more slavery making money for the rich. you cannot earn a living without committing sins, without exploiting your fellow man. the other certain biblical prophetic truth is the END OF THE PROHIBITION OF MARIJUANA. marijuana is the plant of renown of ezekiel 34 v29 which predicts the end of the prohibition and the stigma! marijuana is the TREE OF LIFE of revelations growing in the midst of the street (inside the houses under grow lights) and on either side of the river or both sides of the tracks (in all classes of society) marijuana is for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS. crucifixion merchants (gospel money sharks) deny these literal biblical truths and support the police, stop and frisk, and the theft of marijuana from the youth! they support the youth working in slavery as interns, fake apprentices, job placements, work experience, BS training schemes AND CONTINUOUS LIES ABOUT JOB CREATION AND AFFORDABLE HOMES. we live in a psychopathic uncaring society, pushed around by psychopathic thugs in police uniforms supported by dumbass christians abusing our children's minds with images of a MAN NAILED TO A CROSS.
