Protest Against Police Murder of Gary King Jr.

Do you think it was maybe in kind of poor taste to show up at a protest for this kid who got shot and peddle your papers on everyone, and get people signed up for your email list? Doesn't it seem maybe a little exploitative? Do you even live in Oakland? A kid got murdered, his parents aren't ever going to see him again, and while his dad his was talking about his son being shot in the back I saw one of ya'll walking around the crowd handing out papers. Tres tacky. Maybe it's time to show some honest solidarity with oppressed people instead of trying to recruit them. I think the US Military is already doing that.

the murder of Gary King is the result of the police crackdown ordered by our Mayor
yes now Ron has blood on his hands. our Mayor ihas lost control, last week he addressed a community group reguarding the violance in our streets and he ended this meeting by going on a tyrade directed at a poor woman who's son was killed in a drive-by. At this point I feel that we have made a big mistake in electing Mayor "Ron" to office.

Democrat mayor Ron Dellums was a wealthy lobbyist for IBM, et al before becoming mayor. No rich person can possibly represent the workingclass, and Ron Dellums is no exception. One tip that Dellums was about to sing the company tune on police brutality was his support of millionaire Democrat Barack Obama, the one who was the first to call for bombing Iran. Obama, like every single other Democrat and Republican at every level of office is also a proud supporter of that US military base in the Middle East that exists to protect US oil profits, Israel. Obama has not supported single-payer health care. Obama supports the US embargo against Cuba. And, no millionaire can possibly represent the workingclass. The Democratic Party has NOTHING TO OFFER the workingclass and it is long overdue that the workingclass avoid the Democratic Party like the twin party of capitalism with the Republican Party that it is. Ron Dellums never offered a serious program to put an end to police murders or anything else. He gave lots of rhetoric but so far, there is no action. Now, he has made himself clear in support of the police murders, so please stop voting for the Democrats. If you want an end to police brutality, you have to vote Peace & Freedom or Green or run for office yourself. As to socialist newspapers circulating at these events protesting police brutality and murder, we need more of that to counter the capitalist press and their pro-police brutality lies and propaganda which is working overtime. We all know that if the victim were white, it would be front page news in the capitalist press and the cop would have been fired IMMEDIATELY. This is racism and an attack on the workingclass and that point needs to be made immediately and everywhere.

perhaps this protest would be best if we expanded to include
Democrat mayor Ron Dellums as part of the problem and call for accountability
from our Mayor. and his Police Department such as it is.
