Statement of Clarity on Police Commissioner Speaking at Oscar Grant Vigil

It is our position is that police departments cannot be reformed. They serve as the military arm of the white supremacist, predatory apparatus, in this case The Bay Area Rapid Transit Agency.

We acknowledge that we can & must engage in the reform arena in order to get relief, or what the Panther Party called, survival programs. BART Police Department and every other policing agency in the United States is, and will always be, the military arm of the ruling elite. This has been & remains our position, we stand in solidarity with the families and disenfranchised masses that are being terrorized by police agencies in Oakland, San Francisco, Chicago & across the U.S.
