police brutality is a terrible thing.
Cops taking the law and tossing it into the trash yet again. Come on Bay Area lets set the example and fight for our rights.
justice for Jermey Marks
The Jeremy Marks case is one of the worst cases of state repression and deserving of everyone's support across the state of California and the country.
In May 2010 Jeremy videotaped a school police woman brutalizing one of his fellow students at a school bus stop. The police officer assault was witnessed by many at Marks' high school day. Unbelievably Jeremy was arrested for "lynching" an archaic charge of inciting a riot. 18 year old Jeremy was put in jail with bail set at $150,000 bail. He stayed in jail until December when a google engineer put up the bail money and released him in time for Christmas.
Our collective reality has been drastically changed since New Year's 2009 when witnesses captured, Bart police on video murdering Oscar Grant and since the outbreak of rebellions in Oakland of '09 and 2010. For the first time in our lifetimes a white policeman is doing time for murdering an unarmed black man.
An Injury to One is an Injury to All.
The powers that be certainly do not want the people to photograph police when they brutalize, terrorize and murder our people. But we will continue to film the brutal actions of the police and share those videos for all to see. There is no stiopping the people's demans to be free from police terror.
Since Oscar's murder, laws are pending in 13 states making it illegal to record on duty police. Prior to Oscar's assassination, only 3 states had such anti copwatching laws.
The oscar grant committee stands in solidarity with Jeremy Marks and in defense of all copwatchers. We support his struggle for justice and demand that the DA drop all the charges against him now.
Jeremy Marks' trial begins in Los Angeles at the end of May, 2011. Ms. Rochelle Pittman, his mother, is visiting the bay are the second week in May on a speaking tour to raise awareness and funds for her son's legal defense. If you would like her to speak at your church, school or organization please contact the Oscar Grant Committee below.
