CUAPB Demonstration @ North Commons Park Against Police Murder of Ahmed Guled, 4:30 Wednesday!! (Feb. 11th)
The police have murdered yet another member of our community. Once again the victim was a person of color, Ahmed Guled a young Somali.
As usual the police are attempting to justify continuous attacks on the citizenry by calling the victim a criminal and labeling their actions as "justifiable homicide." The authorities have a history of lying about the facts in similar incidents so we will not provide them any benefit of doubt in this incident, nor the murders of citizens that our sure to happen in the future until the community comes together to stop it.
We must act now and defend ourselves against state sponsored death of civilians in all forms.
Communities United Against Police Brutality has organized a demonstration on the spot of this latest death at the hands of police. Please join us this Wednesday, February 11 at 4:30pm, North Commons Park, (corner of Golden Valley Rd. and Morgan Ave.) and help us tell the police they we will not tolerate continuous violence at their hands.
The holiday seasons wave a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. Have a wonderful and warm season! And a blessed New Year to you and yours.
