Anti-cop mission drawn up by Black Panther group
Van Jones, President Obama's controversial environmental adviser, signed a petition calling for nationwide "resistance" against police, accusing them of using the 9/11 attacks to carry out policies of torture.
The petition was organized by the October 22nd Coalition, an anti-police organization whose mission statement was drawn up by leaders of the radical Black Panther Collective for Social Progress.
The movement organizes yearly national anti-police demonstrations, accusing police of "brutality, detentions, domestic spying, profiling and other attacks on human and civil liberties." The protests are held under the banner of the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation."
The 2006 statement, available on the website for the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, calls on participants to "resist so that we will not be crushed. Our resistance gives other people courage."
The statement accused the police of deliberately murdering civilians in cases that later were mostly ruled accidents.
The statement read: "Two police officers in San Francisco, CA shot and killed a man they found in an apartment that they believed was vacant. Police claimed that 25-year-old Asa Sullivan had a gun, but in reality, he was only carrying an eyeglass case. In Baltimore, MD a 15-year-old, was shot at by police when they assumed the cell phone he was reaching for was a gun. 49-year-old Cindy Conolly was in Oxnard, CA to attend her son’s wedding, but was killed instantly while sunbathing on the beach when two police patrolling the beach drove their vehicle over her.
SNIP.
Jones signed the petition as director of the radical, socialist-inspired Ella Baker Center for Human Rights.

Well sure. He supports the ultimate police resistor. Mumia Abu Jamal.
This Van Jones dude gets funner and funner as people dig further and further into cyber space. I hope he hangs around for a few more days to continue detracting attention from Obama’s Congressional address, and further annoying the American public. //smile//
Does that include the civilian army Barack wants?
