TRENTON PANTHERS, PEOPLE RALLY AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY!

 

On Tuesday, July 5th, the Trenton chapter of the New Black Panther Party and concerned citizens will rally against police brutality at the Trenton Police Department at 8:30am.

 

At issue are two very recent police shootings that have infuriated the community. On April 25th, an unarmed Trenton resident Korey Brown was gunned down by three Trenton police officers. On June 25th, another Trenton resident Aaron Carter was shot in the back and then beaten by Trenton police officers. Ironically, Carter had recently survived gun violence.

 

“Police brutality and murder is being swept under the rug in Trenton,” declared a furious Divine Allah, the Party’ s Trenton-based national youth minister.

NEWARK PANTHERS RALLY WITH POP, PEOPLE IN EAST ORANGE

AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY!

On Wednesday, July 6th, the New Black Panther Party will rally with the East Orange chapter of the Peoples Organization for Progress to demand justice for Jahqui Graham, who was killed in police custody on the same day in 2009.

 

Graham had been arrested for disorderly conduct only days before, but was later found dead in his cell, naked and with his head bashed in.

 

“How do you go from an uncontested disorderly conduct arrest to being savagely beaten to death and left for dead in a jail cell,” asked an angry Zayid Muhammad, the Party’s longtime national minister of culture.

 

The rally will take place at East Orange Police Department at 5:30pm…

 

On Saturday, July 16th, the New Black Panther Party will rally with the East Orange chapter of the Peoples Organization for Progress to memorialize the police killing of Randy Weaver on this same date in 1999.

 

Weaver was killed when East Orange police officers fired upon a vehicle in which he was a passenger on the assumption that the vehicle was stolen. He was then denied emergency medical attention by the police.

 

Weaver, known to his family and friends as ‘Prime Time,’ was an only child. His mother, Mary Weaver, has held memorial vigils for her son’s killing every year to the day since his death, and has become a nationally regarded advocate for justice against police brutality in her own right.

 

“Mary Weaver is one of most incredibly strong Black women I have ever met, and I know some heroically strong Black women,” observed Min. Muhammad prayerfully. “But nothing short of justice and reform can heal the hole in her heart from the police wrongly killing her only child.”

 

The vigil will take place at East Orange City Hall Plaza at 11am.
