00:00:09.980 - 00:00:35.890

quickly because they're going to pick off what else would be too scared. The building attorney for these youngsters says that he thinks that Mr Coakley is going to have a very bad time trying to prove conspiracy in the first place. Do you feel that he's right?

00:00:35.900 - 00:00:56.310

Yes, I do. Because there was actually no violations of law, but these people did was uh, publicly with everybody's knowledge advocate and organized a demonstration to protest against the war in the draft. Now everybody knew it. And uh, I think most of the problems that took

00:00:56.310 - 00:01:13.110

place down in Oakland had to do with the police and the way they masked and attacked the demonstrators. And that's where the problem came from. You know, these days when, when any, when anyone, let me give a specific example, I organized a demonstration with Mario and

00:01:13.110 - 00:01:24.050

a few other people inside Sproul hall here about four years ago and we figured we might get arrested. We didn't know whether or not we were going to be in violation of law, but we figured we might be. And we took steps to have our lawyer

00:01:24.050 - 00:01:43.290

here and figure out how we're gonna get bailed out and so forth. Now, uh, that doesn't, we were never tried for conspiracy gun because of color and skin. You hate what the race will do to you. I'm saying that a black car my hands just like

00:01:43.290 - 00:02:05.990

a white guy. Now we're going to appeal the same brand because of the same grand jury that indicted Huey was in a matter of 22 minutes without even covering the evidence. The so called evidence is supposed to be placed against Huey. The ice mad dog grand

00:02:05.990 - 00:02:29.580

jury that we're referring to. We're appealing to you to support the fact that we don't need ice dog mad mad dog juries were appealing to you to support the fact that we don't need racist policeman who shot Huey and we don't need racist policemen who brutalized

00:02:29.580 - 00:02:54.140

the head of you. And in fact Brother Huey P. Newton who's now being confined downtown, change in the same jail with the same any demonstrators and draft demonstrators that in fact this draw something very significant that we're gonna have to try and work together on now.

00:02:54.150 - 00:03:16.940

Some people are probably wondering how in the hell is it, that what they would call the most militant group in the country come along and tell white people that you and I are gonna go down to the courthouse today at two o'clock at 12 and Fallon

00:03:16.940 - 00:03:43.260

and Oak at 12 and Ballon in Oakland and we're going to march around the courthouse and demonstrate the fact that we want Huey P Newton set free and that you want the anti draft demonstrators also set free Sales prediction wasn't very far from wrong. By 2:00

00:03:43.270 - 00:04:23.770

crowded outside the county courthouse on Fallon Street was already large and was growing outside the building. The crowd continued to grow by three o'clock. Perhaps as many as 200 demonstrators were on hand, a light rain had begun to fall. A judge, the judge ruled that we

00:04:23.770 - 00:04:42.710

will have a hearing a week from today at two o'clock on on the motions that we file attacking the composition of the grand jury and there will be at least two or three or maybe four witnesses who will testify as to the factual contentions that we

00:04:42.710 - 00:05:03.910

have alleged in our moving papers. And that is that the grand jury is composed. The grand jury that indicted mr Newton is composed of people who are either middle income group or upper middle income group. And it does systematically excludes all working people and people who

00:05:03.910 - 00:05:46.870

are not working or say on the relief rolls, that's it. Well, if you're not successful in this attempt, what would your next move be? We will cross that bridge when we come to it a week from today, a week from today. Free who now now administrators

00:05:46.880 - 00:06:23.010

downtown and 12 and balance in the same jail with our Minister of Defense. Um P Newton genuinely that we will use arms to defend ourselves. We're saying your head the head of black people in the black community were saying now that you can draw a direct

00:06:23.360 - 00:06:42.200

putting this position that we've taken against the racist policemen who brutalized us in our black in our community. You can see in fact that the real power of the power structure and maintaining its racist regime is manifested in its occupying troops is manifested and its police

00:06:42.200 - 00:06:52.410

department with guns and force that, in fact, have to abstract what police brutality is like who has a vicious service revolver there to tear your flesh.
