00:08:17.450 - 00:08:34.090

once you realized, man, if you get in an effect, man education, these high school junior high schools over here, same with the South side and West Side. Once you realize that you are paying taxes, taxes for the cops to whip your ass, your panel, you paying

00:08:34.090 - 00:08:52.980

a man for the whip your ass you're paying to come here to beat your Children, your pan to run you off the corner. You're paying to kill you deal from there. The same thing happened on the south side on the west side. And you could realize

00:13:21.730 - 00:13:46.160

00:14:00.630 - 00:14:20.610

the Committee on Police Brutality on a rabbit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We, the United People and we, the United People would like to arrange a meeting with the police department. We already discussed that. We want to meet, really meet and discussing things that happened in community

00:14:20.610 - 00:14:34.430

that you know are real. And the people here can vouch for what has been happening. We're trying to build some report with police district here, Right. Well, some report with people, if not with the officers on the street, at least with the officials inside the department,

00:14:34.470 - 00:14:53.850

where maybe they compare some sort of rules or policies to stop this thing wanting harassment service. So, like, I think that I'll ask Mr Gary here. Thio, announce our next meeting. We have night. That would be, sir and and even have one that we found out

00:14:53.850 - 00:15:13.570

when we're gonna interest with one day night. Right here. Right on. We're going to show him how to have a riel council meeting here. The first hour with the pigs. The next time is what the people on the streets bond of the people, not the pigs.

00:15:13.570 - 00:15:34.440

Remember There. I know different. Now I know your reason why that you've been hollering and the things that you've been saying. And I talked to Sergeant Kramer the other day and I talked to Commander Conley. They both told me there wasn't aware of what was happening

00:15:34.440 - 00:15:56.490

on Wilson Avenue. And so here tonight, we're here to make them aware of it. We want to have a good community, a good neighborhood. Furthermore, we intend toe have a good neighborhood and a good community. I'm gonna turn the meeting over this time. To the chairman

00:15:56.500 - 00:16:16.890

off the Police Brutality Committee is what we call I would like to be able to drop the part brutality and let it become just the police committee. Hopefully, something can be worked out here tonight. I'll give you the chairman of that committee, Mr Bobbly. Personally, one

00:16:16.890 - 00:16:44.870

thing happened to me Monday night as I walked in streets for them in the past. So thank you both right now. Really solution with all young patrons. Girlfriend, Stand in front. I think this is about a group of guys that that I'm working with in uptown

00:16:45.340 - 00:17:03.700

Mhm way. Like to say that we're not a gang way. Got a four point thing going. One thing we're four is better housing for people in the neighborhood. Another to stop police harassment, another trying to end of a renewal from kicking people out of the neighborhood.

00:17:04.300 - 00:17:28.300

The fourth thing is to have better relations between people in the neighborhood who doesn't know each other Well, help me. Best way we know how. He said if if our guys get arrested, we're gonna try any way possible to stop actually, hear your comment. First of

00:17:28.300 - 00:17:47.700

all, I just wanted to congratulate you on picking the title of the young Patriots. To me, that has a connotation of meaning patriotic, Mhm. And I like those words are kind of unique these days. Now there's nobody in this room that knows anything about being poor.

00:17:47.700 - 00:18:07.470

Any more than I dio or anything more about your plight than Ideo. I ask you to keep your questions constructive. I ask you to keep the meeting orderly on. I assure you that something will come out of it. A week ago today, six young men along

00:18:07.470 - 00:18:24.770

with myself, walking down Broadway Street. We just left love of meeting June Bugs House. We were detained for two hours. I would say six or seven fellows walking down the street. I like you through. Ah, uh maybe defined, like six guys on the street, Pacific gang

00:18:24.770 - 00:18:52.150

or at this time of night. First of all, I will concede that police officers generally our little prejudicial in regard to any citizen who perhaps doesn't dress or look like the way they should think they think people should Look now I certainly appreciate your flight being

00:18:52.150 - 00:19:06.770

a Negro, but it would be silly for May to stand here tonight and make excuses for my men or trying try to make you feel a little better by saying my men were wrong. It would be wrong both ways. We have to know some of the

00:19:06.780 - 00:19:23.510

background. There may have been a robbery there on our before 15 minutes before there may have been a crime wave before. There may have been burglaries. There may have been Jack rolling. So many things. We're trying to better things we're trying to bring out in the

00:19:23.510 - 00:19:41.950

police officer. We're trying to teach him that everybody isn't like him. Sometimes things happen that I don't know about, but I will make it my business to know about them. If you will bring it to my attention. The question got Red Squad. Every meeting has been

00:19:41.950 - 00:19:59.800

held in thresholds. How has been observed by the Red Squad in photographs? Because I've watched him. I want to know what the purpose of this is. Red Squad. They take your pictures just as these people are taking my picture here. Well, apparently it waas you saw

00:19:59.800 - 00:20:21.410

it and other people have seen it. There are those units within the police department or any law enforcement unit that, uh, have as their function the investigating looking into organizations that perhaps are a little on the suspect side or have revealed themselves, uh, in such a

00:20:21.410 - 00:20:37.770

way as to be a little bit questionable. Uh huh. Perhaps we dio Is this the one Bob. Is this the one that police officers took off for you Now? This was a Nixon Agnew button that we didn't have money to buy button. So we painted over

00:20:38.140 - 00:20:55.270

the Oriental people, the Spanish people, the white people, black people and the red people. Policemen have taken these buttons. Have somebody in this room. Okay. Who thinks, young man? Well, I can't see what that's right. That's completely wrong. As far as I can see, somebody that

00:20:55.270 - 00:21:11.370

can come up and take a button off for no reason whatsoever. E, say something. Uhh! Not only 16 years old, they throw me up against the war and slapped me a couple of times. Even in the cop station. For what, son? But what? I don't know.

00:21:11.370 - 00:21:22.040

They come in my friend's house. They dragged me to the police station to detectors Take me out the hall, try to make me say things that I ain't. It's let me because I won't say that I ain't something. And then you expect me to come and

00:21:22.040 - 00:21:33.440

tell you all you're gonna have a squad car watching me 24 hours a day because when they say I say something to you, all about them knocking the hell out of me. Then they say they're gonna kill me. Can you have a squad car watching me

00:21:33.440 - 00:21:44.720

24 hours a day to make sure that they don't hire me? I've had a police station in the police station. Take me back home and play my damn head against the wall. Said Let me see. I told you are and then cracked my head like that.

00:21:44.940 - 00:21:56.960

What did you do? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all. You know, just being in a friend's house, they come in and take me to the station. Don't make no matter what you do when officers not supposed to hit, they said they're gonna kill me. If I tell

00:21:56.960 - 00:22:15.390

me what they said. They're gonna kill me. They even tell me in the police station. If I can't you outside, I'm gonna kill you, Boy. E What reason did they e just want the complete story? What was done if it was done was wrong. Nothing was

00:22:15.400 - 00:22:33.680

done. But I know I want the complete story from not just what happened. Not just what we did wrong. I want to know what you did wrong that precipitated this That's all right. E story. A complete story. It's wrong. And I conceded, it's wrong. Why does

00:22:33.690 - 00:22:48.090

he tell a complete story? Let me talk. Will you complete a homosexuals house watching his TV set, waiting for his cousin to come back. His cousin, 17 years old. That would be a threat of man. He's a homosexual. They come in and try to make me

00:22:48.090 - 00:23:04.150

stay. That I'm that I'm a faggot, you know. Alright, if you will stay after, I will register your complaint and you'll find out that it will be investigated. You will be treated properly. Uh, if, uh anyone here the harassed by the police officer. You know, we

00:23:04.150 - 00:23:16.720

will be sure to take his badge number down his card number, and we will see this man. You know, we will see this man. And then I like to know if we come to you with, you know, a badge number, car number, and and you find

00:23:16.720 - 00:23:35.240

this this officer to have really harassed one of the people here. What would happen toe? Now it's great to see we're seeing your complaints that we get from the neighborhood weekly. Any harassment of young patriots through our organization you are taking on personal responsibilities, thistles, my

00:23:35.240 - 00:23:57.610

responsibility. In the past, the poor neighborhoods have been exploited by persons of personal persons who have been less than American. There's so many of these anti are anti American, pink, even read organizations. I really resent the statement that you said that there might be some red

00:23:57.610 - 00:24:13.720

or this kind of thing because e personally think that I'm a better or at least a good is an American is you are on. I think that if there is anyone here in this audience who is not an American, I think you should point this out.

00:24:13.730 - 00:24:38.670

I think the purpose of this meeting was to in fact accentuate that positive part that here we are Americans red, black, yellow, right, with one goal in mind to build a society. And this is why I regret you bringing up that fact if we that there

00:24:38.670 - 00:25:03.140

might be some Reg Pink here, I e. Said the potential in a poor neighborhood is disproportionate than any other neighborhood for people being exploited by these types of people. How could I possibly say anybody in this room has any other feature than complete, pure blooded American.

00:25:03.150 - 00:25:18.810

How could I say it? I don't know. A person in this room, e remember the young patriots and I'm not gonna run out. A long line of particular harassment has been thrown up against people. But just use one to clear up a point you made. Which

00:25:18.810 - 00:25:35.740

is probably the strongest point we've been talking about tonight, That is, I've been in the house of Southern white people and I've heard policeman. Pardon me, ladies say growing up against the wall. So you fucking hillbillies. What you got on you? This kind of thing And

00:25:35.740 - 00:25:55.210

I don't want to say it. When you talk about tolerance, we're not tolerating. This were angry 100 years ago. This flag, which I wear on my cap, represents the Confederate states of America. Way was beat down and we beat down people for 100 years. And we

00:25:55.210 - 00:26:10.100

know what it's like to beat down people. We beat down people hard. We all getting ourselves together. We're angry about it because we all beating down today. But we can be out on the streets and we'll be helping you if you want our help. And its

00:26:10.100 - 00:26:34.300

not the matter. We Communists with this or that other. We're just folks who are trying to get fans straight in our community because I told her, like, that way. Does anybody here believe what they're hearing? The same Asked one of that thinking of police officers. Now,

00:26:34.530 - 00:26:49.020

I think they were just feeding us a bunch of shit tonight to keep him anything getting started. You try your best, man. You like community, and you're not gonna let them stop way. Can't Let's just happen because they they're gonna let us just go down like

00:26:49.020 - 00:27:00.050

it was a long time ago where they could start this shit up again. But we have to go through it again. We'll keep going through it. Do it. Do it. We're gonna get nothing done. There's one thing we gotta do. We gotta get out. We got

00:27:00.050 - 00:27:14.470

reach. A lot of people, man. Because if we don't, we're gonna get picked off easy. We're gonna get picked off quick way. Got to get people to back us up and show them that you're backing this up. So the girl Fairbanks wants to build ourselves up

00:27:14.480 - 00:27:26.920

like the Panthers did because they say people gonna keep building the shelves up to where I would get together and we're gonna get done. What we want done. These 200 bucks with panels will start wearing them now. See? They're going to try to prevent this anyway,

00:27:26.920 - 00:27:43.480

They can't by acting like our friends. That pig almost had me convinced tonight, man. He did. I started even believing this shit. That's his job. That was a job. Most important things that you worry about him now because that was one stage one tonight. Talk with

00:27:43.480 - 00:27:56.850

him now. The whole thing now is community getting everybody's community put cameras in the stores, even have one to a police officer on the corner. Anything to get him in. But what if it don't have what we gotta do? We're gonna fight him or what? What

00:27:56.860 - 00:28:22.060

A community is gonna be part of the community Guns don't get hung up on that. They ain't gonna stop cracking our heads, man. It's 1000 people up here way. You learn your grave and other people will still be fighting e my grades without so good to

00:28:22.070 - 00:28:34.250

know that ma e ain't gonna be No. Why? Because I'm gonna say, motherfucker, I'm gonna fight for that shit and pretty soon, motherfucker. If they ain't gonna give it to me, it ain't gonna give it to me. We're gonna fight the motherfucker. I'm walking on a

00:28:34.250 - 00:28:50.450
