Stop The Police Killings (Hackney Tonite)
Fight Back | 14.01.2003 13:52
The Police P.R machine will be in full swing at 7:30 tonight in Hackney Town Hall, come along and voice your dissent.
So, the Hackney siege, one of Britains longest armed sieges has come to an end with another dead black person.
Tonight the metropolitan police P.R machine will be in full swing as the pigs and the council try and present their side of the story. Eli Hall is dead, cause of death unknown and awaiting post mortem results. The "independent" Police Complaints Authority are investigating the circumstances surrounding the siege ending, an operation which totally disrupted normal life for hackneyites and left 43 people trapped in their homes since Boxing Day. The operation cost well in excess of £500,000.
Tonight the pigs will try and tell us we should be thankful that this "dangerous gunman" is off the streets for good. They will say he refused to come out alive and and dug his own grave as it were. Well they cut off the guys water, food and heating (when the weather was freezing) for most of the siege so no wonder he was in no mood for negotiations!!
The pigs will try and propagate the myth that gun culture is taking over and we should all live in fear of each other. The truth is the hype about guns is being used to criminalize black people and youth culture (which is merely reflecting the inherent violence of this society). They want us to live in fear of each other and want us to believe that more cops is the way to safer streets.
The reality of the situation is 1,000 people have been killed in police custody since 1969 (600 in the last 12 years) and that no pig has ever been convicted of anything.
Shiji Lapite was murdered by police in Hackney in 1994
Sarah Thomas was murdered by police in Hackney in 1999
Harry Stanley was murdered by police in Hackney in 1999
Joy Gardener was murdered by police in Tottenham in 1993
Roger Sylvester was murdered by police in Tottenham 1999
And the list goes on and on..........
The point is the police can kill with impunity and they are the biggest killers in this society.
People should come to voice their opposition to this situation and act now to stop the police from killing our brothers and sisters.
