NYPD to taxpayers : F**K YOU!

NYPD to any Blacks or Latino's with a joint in their pocket : F**K YOU!

NYPD to ANYONE that gets in their way : F**K YOU TOO!

The Drug War Industrial Complex's obscene power is blatantly on display in NYC. It's time to take that power away.

(You can’t, it’s inconceivable, I can’t picture it.) No where can one film two white grandmothers being taken away in unmarked cars. *Raw Footage* Elders Arrested By NYPD in Harlem Jan. 5, <a rel="nofollow">2012http://www.youtube.com/wat...</a>        S&F is a crime against humanity, God says. Every single Brownsville cop is going to hell, I deduce?        Do Black and Brown children of this city deserve no more than criminalization and ridicule? How many unarmed kids did the NYPD kill this week?        Oink Bloomberg, oink Kelly. If you murder an unarmed youth in the bathroom of his home in front of his grandmother and his little sister, because he had five bucks worth of pot on him, you should expect anger. You should expect to be called a pig and run out of town. You’re a pig, get out, may God smite you down, Amen. The NYPD's problem is that it's being run like a corporation. Corporations are not good at keeping youth safe.        Kelly is a warmonger and a businessman. Our complacency is a testament to the totality of his police state: indeed our complacency is the goal of the open-air prisons he's made of marginalized neighborhoods.        We want our streets back. We should be moving into an era in which the cops do less. Instead, they are doing more and more. Collectively and peacefully we gotta stand up. We all have cameras - there’s no logical reason we can’t cop-watch this cop problem away. Cameras on.         Film the NYPD saying, “I’m just doing my job.” We’re creating an online museum of the New Jim Crow. We will shame these thugs in perpetuity. Their grandchildren will know what they did for a living. Their great-grandchildren will know.        NYPD is profiting from the pain and suffering of People of Color. The crime rate, we are to believe, is down. Oink oink bang bang, every day the same old thang: UF-250, UF-250, UF-250, repeat... Imagine two white grandmothers taken this way.
