Forum & Discussion

COPS, "GANGS" AND RACIST PROFILING
A recently released report shows that fewer youths are gang members than 30 years ago, gang membership does not drive crime rates, and moreover, more whites than African Americans are gang members. Despite these facts, billions of dollars continue to fund “gang suppression” in the Black, Latino and other communities -- profiling, targeting and incarcerating working class youth and terrorizing the community. Hear a report about the role of the media, the cops and the politicians in perpetuating this racist repression, and the fight against it.
