Powder keg: rallying for a cause | Amsterdam News

Posted by Faiz on November 30th, 2006

“Sources say that the young men did not know that the five plain-clothed and undercover, white, Black and Latino shooters were cops … It is known that the man who began firing, even though there was never any return fire, reloaded his weapon, and had been drinking in the strip club –apparently as part of his undercover look … On Wednesday December 6, 2006, the Brooklyn-based December 12th Movement will be organizing a protest rally at One Police Plaza at 4.30pm, to “resist the rise of fascism and the rise of the American police state.”

This is a fairly under-reported news story. However, tensions in Queens, New York are extremely high after 5 of New York’s finest opened fire and killed 3 Black/Afro-American men as they were leaving a bachelor party for one of the now-deceased.
