If you haven't felt the sting of runaway police crime in your neighborhood or family yet, then God forbid it will be your husband, father, brother, son or uncle next. 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.

Wounded Knee DeOcampo Greetings. Greetings to the City Council, greetings to the citizens of Vallejo. It is time that we ask the City Council to put a halt to desecrating the sacred burial grounds of our ancestors. This sacred site is 3,500 years old, dating back to 1,500 BC. My mother was born on the California Indian reservation at Tuolumne, CA. She was a Miwok. She took me to that site when I was a little bitty boy, and told me about that sacred site. We are asking you, and the citizens of Vallejo, to protect this sacred site. It is very spiritual to Indian people, and we need the help of the citizens of Vallejo to back us, to protect this sacred site. This sacred site is a home of many, many California tribes that travelled through this area. They came there on their tule canoes, they came there to do their ceremonies, and to trade, and do their vision quests. This is very sacred to us. It's a 3,500 year old sacred burial ground of our ancestors. So I ask the City of Vallejo: Are you in violation of Human Rights, are you in violation of Civil Rights, are you in violation of HR 1913, the Hate Act, or are you in violation of a violent act to destroy a sacred burial ground? There are many many people watching the City of Vallejo and GVRD around the world and around this country. We have many, many supporters [and organizations] who are supporting us to protect this sacred burial ground. And [they include] the American Indian Movement, and other organizations, IPOC [Indian People Organizing for Change], and International Indian Treaty Council, and Greenaction. We are asking you not to desecrate this sacred site. This is a sacred site of many, many people. My ancestors could be buried down there. And I'm asking the City Council to listen to our cry. Because our ancestors are crying for us to protect that sacred site. And we need your support, to protect that sacred site. I'm asking you, and pleading with you, and the GVRD. No more desecration. It is time to halt. Enough is enough of desecrating sacred sites and burial grounds of indigenous people. Thank you very much.
