United Call for Action When Verdict in Freddie Gray Case Is Announced!

Updated June 19, 2016 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

Take to the streets if Goodson walks, or gets slap on wrist!

Baltimore police MURDERED Freddie Gray.

Yet the courts are letting the killer cops walk free one by one. This is totally unacceptable.

When the verdict is announced—show your outrage, take to the streets, starting at the courthouse.

Freddie was chased and beaten down by cops who arrested him for nothing.  Video shows him bent like a pretzel.  They ignored his cries of pain and threw him in the police van. Then the cops subjected him to the kind of “rough ride” that has terrorized many Black people in Baltimore. This was a modern day lynching, and it’s the kind of thing police in this country inflict on Black and Brown people with impunity, all the damn time!

They are letting the murdering cops go free on the installment plan. The first trial of one of the cops who was involved in Freddie’s murder ended in a mistrial, and the cop in the 2nd trial was found not guilty. Now the cop who gave Freddie that “rough ride” is on trial. We cannot sit back while the system engages in another mockery of justice and lets another killer cop walk.

What we do matters a great deal. There wouldn’t even have been trials of any of these killer cops if people hadn’t rebelled after Freddie’s death.  We must take things into our hands and demand justice for Freddie Gray, and for all the victims of brutal, murdering cops.

The day the verdict is announced take to the streets, starting outside the courthouse, 100 Calvert at Lexington, Baltimore.
