The shocking murder of George Floyd by officer Daniel Chauvin in Minneapolis, MN woke the world up to the pandemic of racism and police brutality. Yet the casual shooting of Jacob Blake in the back 7 times by officer Rusten Sheshkey in Kenosha, WI reveals that despite ongoing protests, an insidious culture continues to pervade the police in our society. Officer Seshkey, like officer Chauvin, both acted as if there were utterly no possible consequences for their actions. The system has given police officers a green light to kill, especially Blacks, because of their refusal to indict, convict, or jail the thousands of officers who have killed or maimed civilians.
The families of those killed by the police and survivors of police brutality have their lives devastated. They and the rest of the world as witnesses are asked to accept that nothing can be done to hold the police accountable. WE SAY ENOUGH!
Mass Action Against Police Brutality, with families in Massachusetts who have lost loved ones to police violence, stand with the Jacob Blake family and demand the prosecution of the police involved in the shootingand paralyzing of Jacob Blake. We demand the prosecution and conviction of armed vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse who wounded protestors killing two.
We demand Governor Baker immediately assign a special prosecutor to reopen all past cases of police brutality in Massachusetts.
We also demand Governor Baker immediately demobilize the National Guard!
We defend our right to peacefully assemble and publicly protest!
Join the us at the Statehouse 5pm Wednesday, September 9
