We say "rest in peace" to those lives taken, but to the living we say "the struggle continues-the struggle is for you and yours." A victory for Fly Benzo is a victory for us all. Superior court of California, County of San Francisco 400 McAllister Street Dept. 514, 9a.m. may 30th. Be there. Occupy Fly Benzo's courtroom for us all.

Cousin of Alan Blueford Speaks on the facts in the Oakland Police Murder of Alan Blueford and the police cover-up. The rally was held Sat afternoon May 12 in front of the Eastmont Mall Police Sub Stattion. Alan Bluefords Cousin addressed the lies the police presented to the family and expressed (along with other family members) anger and outrage, not only over the death of their beloved, but also because of the way the police continued to excuse their own criminal behavior in obvious and blatant disregard for the family's feelings and rights.

On July 22, 2010, 16 year old James Earl Rivera, Jr. was shot and killed in a hail of 48 bullits fired by Stockton PD Officers, Gregory Nunn and Eriz Azavard and San Joaquin County Sheriff Deputy John Nesbit. Unarmed James Rivera was driving at normal speed to his home when he was rammed and turned around by a Stockton police car. A second police car rammed him again, pushing him through two neighboring garages and immobilizing his car. Witnesses at the scene say the crash through the garages would have easily injured James seriously. The three officers exited their vehicles and positioning themselves on both sides and behind (the seriously injured) James, opened fire with 48 rounds from 2 (9mm) handguns and a AR-15 Army Assault rifle. 19 of the 48 bullits hit the 16 year old Black youth on both sides of his body and in the back of his head. His mother followed the ambulance to the hospital and was threatened by police dogs and forced out of the hospital when she demanded to see her sons body. Two years after the brutal assassination style killing of James Rivera, the police have still not released a report to the family. Witnesses have stated that James was stopped by Stockton police and let go minutes before he was killed. Police claimed they shot Rivera because they thought he would back his car up and was a threat to them. It is clear from pictures of the crime scene that it was impossible for James' car to move. In fact, police had to use a tow truck to pull James car over the debris of the crash and out of the garage. This video contains disturbing images of the deceased after being rammed through two garages and shot 19 times. View with discretion. In this video, both parents appeal to their communities to stand up against police brutality before their loved ones are killed.

Galeson Eaglestar, Oglala Lakota Nation [Speaks in Lakota] Greetings. I shake each and every one your hands in a good way. My name's Galeson Eaglestar, I'm from the Oglala Lakota Nation from South Dakota, and some people are probably wondering why somebody from South Dakota is here supporting a very critical matter regarding a burial site, a cemetery, that is being considered to be desecrated, in the name of parks and recreation. I have been there off and on in the last 60 days since I came from South Dakota, and I've done a lot of soul searching and praying, in the time that I have been there. And its very, very sad. I've shed a lot of tears for my sisters, and for the people. I pray for the City of Vallejo, and the Greater Vallejo Recreation District as well, and the people, the leadership. And I can't even fathom why these human beings decide to desecrate sacred burial sites in the name of developing a park, so that the people, the human beings can walk on these desecrated graves. I don't understand, as a human being. But I, I continue to pray, every day. For the human beings, for the betterment of mankind. That these gravesides be left alone. I know the spirits of those ancestors are there. I know they're cryin' out, just like we are, today. I'm only one in this world, but I like to think that instead of a parking lot and a bathroom, and the paved trails, a plaque could have been developed there in the name of our ancestors. We can't...[Mayor: Your time is expired. You have three minutes, when that red light blinks, your time is up.] We can't stop the people from walking those walkways as it is in its natural form. I think it should be left alone like that. Nobody's been complaining about the way it is now. [Mayor: The light is blinking. OK, so your time is up.] ...so I hope that people can understand where we're coming from. Thank you very much, that's all I have to say.
