Emergency Rally: Stop Police Violence in Our Neighborhood [Today!]


4:30pm
Tuesday July 27 2010

EMERGENCY RALLY
Tuesday July 27 4:30-5:30 pm
@ Police Station (312 Main)

A loved member of our community, 26-year old Sandy with cerebral palsy, was shoved and thrown to the ground in a physical assault by police officers on the beat in the Downtown Eastside. This is the latest in a series of daily assaults, arrests, beatings, and police brutality in the DTES. This one just happened to be caught on tape and has sparked outrage across the neighborhood and city.

 

- The Police Apology to Sandy is Not Enough: Get that Officer off the beat!

- Why Do Police Not Get Criminal Charges for Assaulting Women and Disabled people?

- No to Internal Investigations: Armed, Violent, and Dangerous Police Off Our Streets!

Stand Up for Yourself, Your Friends, Your Neighbors. Come out! Organized by DTES Power of Women Group.
