Police murder in Pensacola. WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

Pensacola Police Department: YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.

Victor steen, a 17 year old black male, was killed by pensacola city police officer jerald ard, on october 3, 2009 around 2 am.
Witnesses say they saw ard shoot his taser out of his window at a fleeing steen, who then fell off his bike and was run over and dragged 15 feet by ard.

Thursday,October 23, around 5pm, about 50 understandably pissed off locals met at cervantes and haynes street, and marched to city hall, where a few protesters spoke.
Organizers of the march say they are demonstrating to show opposition to the choice of the pensacola police department's choice to allow ard to return to work, at a desk for the patrol division, while on administrative leave. Whether or not ard will return to his regular job as armed and dangerous killer cop, is yet to bee seen.
Organizers of thursdays protest say to expect more demonstrations if ard is not relieved of all duties while the investigation regarding the incident that resulted in a local youth horribly slain on our streets, and left to die for 3 hours underneath ard's cruiser.

The Pensacola police department has more blood on its hands.
50 is not enough, we all have to make it known that we will not allow our communities to be invaded, harassed, and terrorized by the police.
Make no mistake, Victor Steen is now dead as a direct result of police terrorism.

The police are a force of violence. They exist to protect the property of the powerful at any cost, even if it means spilling blood. The police' origins can be traced back to the days of slavery, where armed bands of white racists formed to keep their slaves "in line", and ward off any rebellion, as well as terrorize black communities.

The police are not on the side of the people, they never have been. It is not a question of a "few bad apples". The entire system is founded on slavery, racism, imperialism, violence, war, and oppression. There is no getting around this. The system is not for the people, it is a weapon to be used against the people.

WE HAVE GOT TO START TAKING BACK THE LAND, TAKING BACK THE WORKPLACES, TAKING BACK OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND TAKING BACK OUR LIVES.

Pensacola: DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!!!
