Governor Nixon Prepares Violence Against People Demanding Justice for Michael Brown
November 11, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
Governor Nixon of Missouri gave a press conference today, November 11, full of threats against people demanding Justice for Michael Brown. The St. Louis City Police, the St. Louis County Police, the Missouri Highway Patrol and the National Guard are being mobilized for the grand jury decision on whether to indict the murdering cop, Darren Wilson, for the cold-blooded murder of Michael Brown. Nixon made no mention of justice for Michael Brown. This press conference was to deliver a message to those standing up against police murder that the authorities were prepared to viciously attack them if they dared to continue protesting.
Nixon claimed, “We have been working around the clock to prepare to keep the residents and the businesses of St. Louis region safe.” Lies! They have been working around the clock to let the cop Darren Wilson walk free for the murder of Michael Brown, to force people to stop protesting. Their aim is to keep people out of the streets and to protect the injustice system that time and time again lets the police kill our people with impunity. What about keeping Michael Brown safe?
Nixon bellowed, “Violence will not be tolerated.” More lies! What about the violence of Darren Wilson shooting Michael Brown down in the street? What about the violence of the police beating demonstrators in the streets of Ferguson? What about the violence of shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at demonstrators? What about the violence of tear gassing and pointing rifles at demonstrators and news reporters? All this violence is just fine with the authorities!
They are preparing to attack people who dare to go into the streets. We must prepare to go into the streets and demand justice. As we said a few days ago:
TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE GRAND JURY DECISION
KILLER COPS WALKING FREE OR GETTING A SLAP ON THE WRIST IS UNACCEPTABLE!
JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL BROWN, ERIC GARNER AND ALL VICTIMS OF POLICE MURDER!
When the Grand Jury Decision in the Murder of Mike Brown is Announced:
We will march! We will say NO MORE!
Bring everyone who is outraged.
