Oakland, California - Fury erupted over the video-recorded police slaying of an unarmed and restrained suspect at the Frutivale BART station on New Year's Day. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the station tonight, and independent as well as corporate reports indicate that participants fought cops, smashed and graffitied police vehicles and storefronts, built fires in the street and burned several vehicles. A number of BART stations were shut down due to the unrest. Some autonomous individuals also stated that they sabotaged a BART police car and two ticket machines with superglue in solidarity with the victims and opponents of police in Oakland and Greece.

FUCK THE PIGS

every day

This is the kind of shit that happens every day in the "land of the free." Literally thousands of people are killed by cops in the US each year. On average a person a day is killed just by SWAT teams going into the wrong house (that happens when you have 40,000 SWAT team raids a year). We live in a police state.

Police brutality is so common as to have almost lost all meaning. If you come into contact with police, you just expect to get roughed up and inevitably charged with assaulting a police officer. Then even if they don't shoot you, they put you in for-profit prisons that are so vicious that it's just expected that you'll be beaten and raped by guards and other inmates on a daily basis. About fifteen million people cycle through this prison system every year (5% of the population).

Burn it all to the fucking ground.
