00:00:01.340 - 00:00:29.720

Yeah, yeah. Regrettably, we didn't make any arrests. We made numerous stops of possible suspects. We found the people to be most cooperative. The black community, uh, realizes the seriousness of the situation and the need for, uh for cooperating with the police authorities. And they have done

00:00:29.720 - 00:00:52.980

so. We've received no complaints about unnecessary stops. The calls that we have received and the responses that we've received since yesterday indicate to us that there are people who are not only being stopped once, but twice as many as three and four times. Uh, and a

00:00:52.980 - 00:01:15.880

lot of black people are incensed and very angry and put out and upset about this kind of police state that exists in the black community. The condition of the police state creates a greater possibility of what I would view as a racial war. It's very, very

00:01:15.880 - 00:01:37.070

possible that that people will become so angered and frustrated that we will see taking place in San Francisco, a condition that we've never had to happen before. That relates to whites and blacks at war with each other. I don't think I like it Mhm. I don't

00:01:37.070 - 00:01:53.940

think no one has the right to stop me just because I me it was just because I'm black. I think it's an affront against the black community in San Francisco. And I think it has also been used by, uh, politicians to further outside aims. Nobody, uh,

00:01:53.950 - 00:02:11.990

that I know of. And I was born and raised in the city, Uh, ever raised any question about the Zodiac, And, uh, it seems very much on a racial slur when in fact, the Zodiac killer, uh, and his picture came out in the papers as well

00:02:12.000 - 00:02:32.940

as television. A principle of what they thought the Zodiac killer to look like. They did not, in fact, began to create a dragnet and a police state as it relates to white participants. So it's inherently discriminatory. Mhm. But I have been informed that he may have

00:02:32.950 - 00:02:53.470

hinted. Alluded to that This may be racially inspired. This street check looking for suspects I want to repeat now. I don't know this for a fact, but it was centered out pretty strongly that he did that and that it was strictly harassment of black people. While

00:02:53.480 - 00:03:09.180

nothing is further from the truth, I think that just a blanket description is not enough to stop every member of the community at random. I think they should have a more specialized approached, and they should not be as intimidating as they have approved to have been

00:03:09.180 - 00:03:24.200

in the in the past. Because it's it's gonna provide friction with the community and the authorities. It's unfair because of the fact that we already oppressed, you know, about the Gestapo type taxes at the police, uh, perpetuated against the blacks anyway. And this is just another

00:03:24.200 - 00:03:44.480

form of expanding the perpetuation of the violent oppression that we go through every day. I will stop last night behind this, uh, parent attitude that has been laid down behind the recent killings, and, uh, state emphatically that if this is Mayor Liotta's attitude, and I feel

00:03:44.480 - 00:04:26.260

that, uh, me and a few others who are in the community and have done a lot of work in the community uh, he need not come to the community for his votes. Okay? The market. So what? Mm

00:04:26.260 - 00:04:34.850

hmm. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm.
