The community is standing here today to say we are outraged at what has transpired.

The video was released publically for the fi rst time on Feb. 2 to the local KTRK-TV Channel 13 news station by community activist Quanell X, who said he legally obtained the tape. He further said he had planned to hand it over to all media outlets but was stopped in his tracks by a state district judge’s temporary restraining order prohibiting further release. Full Article...

We need a people's army to enforce a no-fire/no-baton zone against the thugs of the state. |
