America's Original Domestic Terrorist's Are Still On
The Job

I watched Jonny Gamage killed in Pittsburgh by
over-zealous racist
Police officers.
I watched the most guilty of the officers who lynched
him "Officer
John Vojtas" get a promotion and a raise.
I have watched Jerry Jackson shot and killed in a hail
of 51 bullets
in Armstrong tunnel by a Pittsburgh police officers.
I watched them justify it with lies coverups and red
tape.
I watched officers on the scene change their story and
tell the truth
only to have their boss say that he would not review
the case.
I have watched the FBI ransack a local Mosque on
they're day of prayer.
I have watched armoured vehicles rolled through
Homewood.
There are many other horror stories involving
Pittsburgh and
surrounding areas racist police officers, some we have
heard about,
most we have not.
Like what happened in a recent case in which a
Braddock man was killed
by the police?
The local news is chosing not to cover many of these
incidents which
seems to be occuring all too often.
I have watched the people do nothing!

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of watching from
the sidelines.
I will not sit back and watch the Police or anyone
else put guns in 7
and 8 year old little girls faces and threaten to blow
their heads
off! We demand justice. These officers may be above
the law that we
pay them to uphold, but they are still under God. They
still have to
answer for it when they step over the line. And the
actions of Officer
Eric Tatusko was way over the line on August 26, 2006.

If we don't stand up and do something about the
conditions in our
community how can we even look our women in the eye?
Look at what we
are allowing to happen to our women and children, we
should be ashamed
of ourselves. I am not asking that anyone do anything
stupid, I'm just
suggesting that yall do what men do when their
children are at risk.
I'm not asking yall to blow up, just show up. We must
organize! If you
think things are bad right now in America for our
people you aint seen
nothing yet!

In the name of "Homeland Security" they are stepping
all over "The
Constitution" and the Bill Of Rights" daily. Passing
mind boggling new
laws, bypassing the Geneva convention and FEMA has
built over 600 new
concentration camps in America, who do you think that
they are gonna
fill them up with? I just read in the paper the other
day that House
Speaker John M. Perzel is proposing to spend 4 Hundred
and Fifty
Million Dollars to hire 10,000 new police officers in
Pennsylvania.
1,000 new officers for Allegany County alone, does
that make you feel
any safer? The local jails are already over crowded
and under staffed,
where are they gonna put people arrested by 10,000 new
Cops? Many of
you may think ignorance is bliss, but unlike Cipher
(the snitch from
The Matrix) reality is gonna come to you no matter
which pill you
take.. Blue, Red, Ecstacy, Viagra or Eminem's Purple
pills.

I am angry right now. I don't think yall feel me, I am
mad as hell!
But, I am not as angry at the police officer as I am
at myself and
everyone around me. We have been attempting to
organize and motivate
others around us, but we are not doing as good a job
of putting good
people together to combat problems in our communities
as we should. I
hate reacting to every bad thing that happens to our
people, I long
for a time when we have our shit together so well that
we stop this
from happening before it starts. A time that the
police department
would better screen their officers for drug addition,
steroids, greed,
corruption, racism and such things because they would
fear the
repercussions of letting these monsters loose in our
communities. As
it is they have no reason to fear us, they have
physically kicked our
asses for over 400 years and we still haven't figured
it out yet! We
are still trying to make them better, instead of doing
for ourselves,
patronizing our own businesses building our own
schools. Instead we
send our children to be educated by the enemy, and
when the enemy
educates you, you become like him. You become your own
worst enemy.

Why am I using such a harsh word as "enemy"? The
Government is having
a hard time painting us as domestic terrorists, so
they have come up
with a new term: "Enemy Combatant" and passed a new
law: "The Enemy
Combatant Law" that will allow them to bypass the
Constitution and
treat American citizens as they have the inhabitants
of Guantanamo
Bay. They are now able to arrest American's without
proper warrants,
without reading them their rights, without giving them
a phone call,
without giving them acess to a lawyer, they can hold
you indefinately
without charging you with a crime or even admitting
that they have you
in custody. Do you understand yet?

Besides, anyone who shoves a gun in the face of a 7
year old child is
definately not my friend. One thing I know is that
Officer Eric
Tatusko surely isn't Officer friendly! He should be
suspended without
pay immediately pending an investigation into this
incident and a peek
into his past. Then upon finding him guilty, he should
be fired
without a pension and arrested for brandishing a
firearm, making
terroristic threats and disturbing the peace. We
should not reward him
with a promotion and a raise.

If you are in the Pittsburgh area come out tomorrow!

There is a Civilian Police Review Board meeting:

Monday - September 18th, 2006 - 6:00 PM
City Council Chambers
510 City-County Building
414 Grant St., Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Call: 412-765-8023 to reserve 3 minutes of speaking
time.
cprb@city.pittsburg h.pa.us

Everyone who is interested in justice should show up
at this meeting,
but it should be of particular interest to black men.
It is time for
us to be responsible for our families and community.
So many of us
should show up that they should have standing room
only and a large
crowd outside that can't fit in. All sinners and
saints alike should
be at this meeting showing our love and committment
for the safety of
our women and children.

This is what all the fuss is about:

Officer allegedly draws weapon on 7 year old girl By
Deborah M. Todd

Full Story in The New Pittsburgh Courier

What was supposed to be a typical drive through a
peaceful Shadyside
neighborhood, turned into a standoff with a police
officer threatening
the life of a 7-year old girl, according one local
mother.

Pamela Lawton of the Hill District said on Aug. 26,
she was on her way
to Homewood for a Pee Wee League football game with
her two daughters,
7-year old Joshalyn, 8-year old Jasmine, and two other
children ages 2
and 3. She said she was driving her green, 1998 Ford
Windstar and was
approaching the intersection at Kentucky Street and
Negley Avenue when
a Pittsburgh Police cruiser signaled for her to pull
over.

"He was flying up behind me and I stopped immediately
because I wanted
to stay in view," said Lawton. "I felt like there was
something
wrong"”why would he fly up behind me like that? Plus, I
had my kids in
the car so it kind of scared me."

What Lawton said happened next was beyond anything her
initial fears
predicted. "I said, 'What's the problem, officer?'
and he said 'Get
your hands up,'" wrote Lawton in a prepared statement.
"He repeated,
pulled out his gun and pointed into the passenger side
of the window
where my youngest daughter was trying to get her
seatbelt off. So, I
put my hands up."

According to Lawton, she and her children spent the
next 20 to 30
minutes trying to convince Officer Eric Tatusko to put
his weapon down
or to at least go to the driver's side to address the
problem with the
only adult in the car.

"The children were in the car screaming and crying,"
she wrote. "My
hands were still in the air and I was screaming 'Help,
someone help!'
over and over again."

Florence Williams, a resident at the Kitley House
Senior Center on
Kentucky Street, said she didn't see everything that
happened that
morning, but she knows she heard the cries for help.

"I happened to hear somebody screaming and I came to
my porch,"
Williams said. "I don't know what the cop was doing
because he was on
the other side, but she had her arms out the door and
she was
hollering 'Please, somebody help me.'"

During this time, Lawton says Tatusko refused to take
her
identification, never told her why she was stopped and
never left the
passenger side of the vehicle. She said at one point
the officer got
so angry he cocked his gun and said if Joshalyn moved
again he would
"blow her brains out."
