SAN FRANCISCO
‘’Fight police brutality’
Published Oct 25, 2006 1:04 AM
Family members of victims of police abuse led
the San Francisco action marking the 11th Annual National Day of
Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a
Generation on Oct. 22. Similar protests took place in other U.S.
cities.
A spirited march wound its way
from the edge of Golden Gate Park to Jefferson Park to commemorate “the
stolen lives” of poor and oppressed young people predominantly from the
African American, Latin@ and Native American communities. Speaker after speaker
denounced the police for killing their loved ones. Many family members have
become leaders of this movement. From left to right are Mirna Ayala, mother of
Julio Ayala, Mesha Monge-Irizarry, mother of Asa Sullivan, and Danny Garcia,
brother of Mark Garcia, all shot and killed by members of the San Francisco
Police Department.
