Justice 4 Alan Blueford
Free Food. Rally. Music. Workshops. Arts & Crafts. Children’s Village. Literature.
“Just after midnight on Saturday May 6th, Alan Blueford and two of his friends were waiting for some girls to pick them up on 90th Ave., in East Oakland, after the Floyd Mayweather fight. Not long after Alan had phoned his parents to check-in with them, a car slowly pulled up to them with its lights off. Alan ran. One officer gave chase. A few blocks later Alan was shot by OPD officer Miguel Masso. Masso also shot himself in the foot. Over a dozen witnesses all said that Alan had no weapon and posed no threat to the officer.
Why did the police approach Alan and his friends with their lights off? Why did they give
chase when Alan had committed no crime and posed no threat to the officer? Why was Alan
shot three times when he had no weapon? How did a trained officer shoot himself in the foot? From the witnesses’ statements, why was Alan not given emergency CPR by OPD? Why did
the OPD change their story to the family several times in the days after the shooting? Why have they refused to release the coroner’s report, despite the fact that it has been complete for weeks?
The family has gotten nothing but lies, distortions and stalling from the OPD.
The Blueford family and the Justice 4 Alan Blueford Coalition are demanding:
• Officer Miguel Masso be fired and charged with Alan’s murder.
• OPD Chief Howard Jordan be held accountable for lying to the Blueford family.
• An end to stop-and-frisk and other police practices of racial profiling.
• The repeal of the Police Officers’ Bill of Rights, that shields violent cops from prosecution and keeps them on the street.”

Melvin was arrested on 7/23/2012 and he’s got court tomorrow. We need a show of support for this comrade. The inmate locator says his arraignment is 7/25/2012, 9am in Dept 107, but since he’s in custody, it’ll probably be 2pm. We’re hoping to get him bailed tomorrow too, and we need carpools ready to head down to Santa Rita for another jail party. Who’s down?

On July 21 Anaheim Police Chased and shot Manuel Angel Diaz in the back of his head Killing him. Diaz was Unarmed. The Latino Community that the Killing had happened in had already been the victim of several other shootings in the Past done by Anaheim Police. confronted the police in Protest of Diaz killing. and were viciously attacked by Police the Extreamly Cruel repression that the Anaheim police unleashed on the community was horrible. you see the Police shot Rubber Bullets into the crowd including Woman and Children you even see a Police dog attack a woman with a Stroller with her Baby inside. it was just another reminder of the sick Capitalist Police state that we live under.
