A Black Panther's Message to the American People

A Black Panther's Message to the American People

The Police State is firing on all cylinders with immigration sweeps, security industry trade conferences, surviellance of progressive organizations, chilling independent media sources, and so on.

Now, a group of former Black Panther Party members have been arrested for alleged crimes commited in 1971, including the killing of a San Fransisco police officer. I've not delved into all the details, but the whole thing reeks of a police state tactic to send us all a message:

If you ever get on the wrong side of the police state, you will never be free from fear of a clamp down.

The breif background is that some of those recently arrested [1] were once charged and released after the court found that their confessions were coerced by torture.

And people have to understand this is actual torture with cattle prods by New Orleans policemen, where San Francisco policemen were sitting outside the room, obviously knowing what was going on to get information. [2]
