Protest
and March Thursday, Nov. 11th

4:00PM:
March to Fruitvale BART Station
On Monday night, November 8, 2010, Derrick Jones was shot and
killed by Oakland police near the barber shop that Mr. Jones owned
on Bancroft and 58th Ave. Mr. Jones was unarmed. He was a known
figure in the community, an artist who grew up in East Oakland who
went on to own his own business. Mr. Jones' barber shop was a place
where people of all ages knew they could find support.
Jones' family were already known by the police because they stood
up and won against Oakland police brutality. When the police
assaulted and brutalized members of his family several years ago,
they sued against the police and won, getting two police officers
fired. If the police get away with killing Derrick Jones, any
family that stands up against police brutality in the future will
be afraid that their lives will be endangered. We cannot let that
happen.
In the coming hours and days the cover-up for the cops will go into
overdrive. More slanders and rumors and disinformation will be
spread as the campaign to exonerate the cops increases its efforts.
We need to ignore all of those lies. The only thing that matters is
that Derrick Jones was an unarmed man who was shot in an alley
because of racism.
Join friends, family,
and supporters on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 3:00 pm in front of Mr.
Jones' barber shop on Bancroft near 58th Ave. to demand justice for
Derrick Jones and to stop racist police killing. Jail the police
who killed Derrick Jones! A BADGE IS NOT A LICENSE TO
KILL. |
