\nDecember 13th\, starting

Called for by The Justice For Alan B
lueford Coalition.
\nPress Conference to be Held Jointly by the Justice For Alan Blueford Coalition<
/a> and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (Oakl
and Chapter). (Because of the off-again\, on-again nature of this even
t due to what’\;s happened recently with the case\, Malcolm X may no
longer participate)
This is history in the making. No police depar tment in the history of the United States has ever been put under the cont rol of a Federal Judge. The fact that such a step is even being considered is a stinging indictment of the Oakland Police\, in particular their raci st\, unconstitutional approach to policing. The whole world will be watchi ng these proceedings.
\nAlan Blueford\, an 18 year old Oakland high school student about to graduate\, was murdered by an Oakland policeman on May 6th 2012 following an unconstitutional ‘\;stop &\; frisk.R 17\; Many other young men of color have been killed in similar circumstanc es over the years. These deaths are a direct result of OPD’\;s inabil ity to act constitutionally\, avoid racial bias and control its trigger-ha ppy officers.
\nThe Justice 4 Alan Blueford Coalition demands that w
hatever steps are ultimately taken to control OPD’\;s illegal practic
es\, that they include sufficient safeguards to insure:
\n–\; th
ere are no more wrongful killings and
\n–\; the end of the racia
l profiling\, rampant in OPD\, which ultimately
\nresulted in the tra
gedy of Alan’\;s murder.
We demand Justice 4 Alan Blueford! W e demand an end to police violence! We cannot have any more killing of our children by OPD! AND WE WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW IT. We will not stop\, fed eral control or no\, until OPD stops harassing\, beating and killing young men of color of Oakland.
\nCOME JOIN US. MAKE SURE THE WORLD HEARS ALL OF OUR VOICES!
