January 9th 2025
A new year dawns as the police and the system they serve continues to kill with impunity.
It’s 2025 in America. A racist vigilante walks free after lynching a Black man on a crowded NYC subway. Police from the Bronx to Long Beach continue to get away with murder after murder, disproportionately killing Black, Latino, and Indigenous people. A man in California facing a mental health crisis is shot down by a police SWAT team on the steps of a church.
The youth are especially targeted, for “fitting a description”, or for supposedly belonging to a criminal gang. We know who the real gangsters are, and who are the real criminals who harass us, lock us up, and shoot us down in the streets. We know that the biggest gangs in our neighborhoods are the POLICE themselves. And this biggest-and-most-brutal-of-all-gangs demand our “respect” and “admiration”. They want us to be thankful for their “service” of brutalizing and killing us! Fuck that. Fuck these swaggering, oinking pigs for expecting us to not only quietly go along with their crimes, but to appreciate all their “hard work” of oppressing us!
On January 9, so-called “Law Enforcement Appreciation Day”, Families Demanding Justice, the families of Chris De Arman, Hugo Cachua, Rashad Nelson, Alejandro Campos Rios, Antonio Cassem, Eudes Pierre, Jimmy Lopez, are calling on the families of people killed by law enforcement, the people under the gun, and everyone who stands with them to step up and speak bitterness against crooked police where ever they may be, to flip the script on the powers-that-be.
Rally together with people affected by police brutality, especially with the families of those who’ve had their lives stolen by law enforcement. Make your rage heard outside police stations and other symbolic places. Disrupt “police appreciation” events. Get up in the face of the enemy. Take action.
Submit photos and videos to FamiliesDemandingJustice@proton.me of your action to show from coast to coast: we stand UNITED!
Make January 9, 2025 “Fuck The Pigs” Day!
SEND KILLER COPS TO PRISON! POLICE BRUTALITY AND MURDERS MUST STOP!
Justice for ALL victims of police brutality!
