heard about this on the radio this morning (WBAI, which broadcasts my beloved Democracy Now)...haven't yet discerned much about its origens, history, context (beyond the obvious), but worth posting, because it's always important to speak out about police brutality.
"October 22nd is the day when people all over
the country demand a STOP to police
violence, repression, and the criminalization of
a generation. In different cities and through
different means of expression, we raise a
resounding "NO" to these police raids, attacks
on the youth and immigrants, and destroying
of lives."
