Merseyside Police - attacking the black community

Last Friday/Saturday morning I was driving home abd the cops had put up a blockade on Upper Parliement street/Catherine Street - they told me I would have to go down Princess rd. Instead I took a side street and come back out in the middle of parliemtn street and the caribean centre was surrounded by cops, their wer people standing around watching and the cops were filming and searching everyone coming out of the club. When they realised I had got through the police block, they were not even intrested in talking to me when I asked them what they were doing , they just told me to move on - I stayed around as long as I could - but they began to get heavy so i drove off up parliemtn street passing another cordon at the top of parilement street.
Now anyone who knows the caribean centre - shoul dknow that the worst thing that could happen there would be people smoking a bit of dope - and te cops say they are not intrested in criminlising dope smokers - so whats it all about.
The OSD (Operational Support Division) or robo cops as they sometimes get called - have been terrising young people black people ( and often their parents) in Toxteth for years and over the last couple of years, they have been attacking people persistantly. Bating them up, fitting them up ( I know they do it to young white working class kids a lot too) Just thought I'd let people know. Also did you know that that their is a serious drug problme in Merseyside police ( especially the OSD) and the cheif cannot control his nazi boys in armour - many of tem are hooked on steroids.
Information is no good unless its acted upon.
