NEW YORK
2,000 march against
police terror
To
protest police brutality, a daily scourge throughout the United States,
over 2,000 people marched from New York's Union Square to Times Square Oct.
22nd. It
was part of a nationally coordinated series of protests called by the October
22 Coalition.
Friends
and family of slain police brutality victims, including Saikou Diallo, marched
first. Diallo's son, Amadou Diallo, died in a hail of 41 police bullets in the
lobby of his Bronx apartment building last year. Then came a large contingent of
high-school youths, followed by City University of New York students, Mumia
Abu-Jamal's supporters, Palestinians, a solidarity contingent of UNITE union
members and others.
One
woman carried a sign that read "Jews against police brutality" on one side and
"Support Palestinian right of return" on the other.
