Student Power Movement, No Cops
Item
DON'T SHOOT!
- ITS ABOOK!
NO COPS. NO ARMED GUARDS.NO GUNS.
NO ATTACK DOGS.
NO JOKE.
SCHOOLS - NOT PRISONS! WE CANNOT LEARN AT GUNPOINT!
More and more our lives are falling underneath the oppressive boot of the POLICE
STATE. For many of us who live in New York City, being young, a person of
color, an immigrant, working class and po’ is bad enough. On top of that all our
peoples - young and old are harassed daily by racist cops. All too often, many are
also murdered in cold blood by these same cops and justice is never served in the
memory of our dead.
On schools and college campuses alike the authorities want to police our lives to
prevent protest against their budget cuts, tuition hikes, firing of teachers, lack of
efficient student services, overcrowded classrooms, overpriced books or lack of
books, bad food or no food services at all. When Mayor Ghouliani or administrators
like Chancellor Wynetka "Ann" Reynolds want cops, armed guards, metal detectors,
and attack dogs on campus and in public schools, it's not to clamp down on crime
like they want you to believe, they want to clamp down on YOU from protesting.
The only reason you bring armed cops and guards on campus and schools is to
shoot students, plain and simple. If you have a gun problem, blame it on the gun
sellers in Virginia. If you have a drug problem, shut down the CIA -they started the
whole drug hiz any way.
Be outraged and protest. Let's organize our fellow students, our family members,
our houses of worship. We can no longer stand by and watch the destruction of our
HUMAN RIGHTS any longer. ORGANIZE! FIGHT POLICE BRUTALITY!
SMASH RACISM WITH PEOPLE POWER!
