Love Not Jails Feb16

We NEED to put an end to this racist, media-censored, police protected, prison-military industrial complex NOW before more good citizens take JUSTICE into their own hands. We live in an era where even the most patient, compassionate and non-violent protesters have been met with violent police brutality, hatred, and covert lethal force [google COINTELPRO]. How does the government want us to respond?? What do they want us to do? We have tried using passive boycotts and words, yet they assassinate us so we can't speak [MLK, MALCOLM X, FRED HAMPTON]. We have tried sit-ins and protests, but they outlaw, stigmatize, and make illegal the voicing our own opinions in our own country [google how the FBI coordinated the crackdown on Occupy]. The actions of Officer Christopher Dorner speak to this sense of hopelessness, of having to take JUSTICE into your own hands when met face-to-face with a bigoted system of stifling oppression and inequality. Everyone who would like to learn more, disagree, share their point of view, or take part in the proliferation of liberation NEEDS to come to this event.
