LA Sheriffs Murder Young Black Man in Cold Blood…
People Fight Back—In the Face of Brutal Repression
| revcom.us
Dijon Kizzee was a 29-year-old Black man who was born and raised in Los Angeles. On August 31, of this year, Dijon was murdered in cold blood by members of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Dijon Kizzee was a human being whose life mattered, and still matters. He leaves behind family members and friends who loved him.
Over the following two weeks, there has been intense struggle demanding justice for Dijon Kizzee, and there has been brutal and escalating repression by the LA Sheriff’s Department. All this is happening at the same time as the fascist Trump has ramped up calls for “Law and Order,” condemning protesters as “rioters” and “arsonists” and repeatedly calling for “retribution” against them, all while defending a racist thug who murdered two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Revolution Club has been in the thick of this, along with a whole range of people and groups.
Stay tuned to this site early this week for a much fuller account of this important struggle. And in the meantime, listen to National Revolution Tour members Noche Diaz and Dizzy Parker on the Michael Slate radio show last Friday.
