Responses to Call to Bear Witness to Police Brutality
Revolution has received a number of responses from readers to our call "Bear Witness!"—saying "Tell us your story about police abuse. If the police have…sweated you at school; dogged you in the streets; hit on you or otherwise sexually harassed you; or if the police have racially profiled, threatened, tasered or brutalized you or any member of your family." The following are two of the responses we have received.
This is pure madness and how on earth do they get away with it. Police are getting away with more murders than the so-called criminals. Why are they killing all of our young black men, is it fear, do they want to destroy our future? I am totally confused by what they get away with. Like the way they abused the middle-aged man in the wheelchair in California who was also un-armed. This is not the land of the free. I live in Houston, Texas and want to get involved when I can. I am on your mailing list already. Please keep the world posted.

Hello. Just wanted to let you know how you and this paper are appreciated for keeping it real and letting people know what's really going on out here, because you can't depend on the "main stream" newz. I live in L.A. and the "killer cops" are doing the same thing here, they just killed a young brother/father last month, shot him in the back!, it's happening everywhere!! I wish I could donate at this time but will in the near future, keep up the good work and remember "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!"
We encourage other readers to tell us your story. Email rcppubs@hotmail.com.
