As expected the Grand Jury exonerated Darren Wilson of the murder of Michael Brown, day of/day after demonstrations happened in more than 160 cities around the country and solidarity action took place in several countries. Even as we waited for the decision from the Grand Jury, Timir Rice, a 12 year old boy playing with a toy gun in a park in Cleveland was gunned down by police. In New York, Akai Gurley was shot for taking the stairs instead of waiting for an elevator in his apartment building. Cops killing Blacks is simply the norm in the U.S. today.
The response of the government is simply to continue and increase the militarization of the police department in cities across the country. Just as the U.S. government cannot resolve international disputes without waging wars on the oppressed people of the earth, the wars at home are waged by a militarized police force against people of color and working people without any validation of their rights or concessions to their complaints. The goal abroad and domestically is also the same – to crush resistance and to maintain domination of the military/industrial/financial capitalist system. UNAC urges all activists to continue to come out in a massive show of solidarity with those who suffer most by police brutality.
