Travis Morales and the Stop Mass Incarceration Network with other supporters marched to bring to light to the recent failure to indict the two cops who murdered 12 year old, African American Tamir Rice in a Cleveland, OH park while playing with a toy gun. Tamir was shot within 2 seconds of the cops driving right up to him.Noche Diaz of Stop mass Incarceration Network who has been arrested multiple times while protesting the killing of innocent, unarmed people by the police, talks to the crowd about the 400 years of slavery, Jim Crow, the new Jim Crow, has been the whole history of this country. Referring to Bob Avakian of the Revolution Communist Party and wearing the T shirt. “You’ve had 400 years to make better choices”, referring to the Powers that Be, Police, “justice” system, etc.Noche Diaz read a quote of Bob Avakian’s from the Revolution Newspaper, “No more generations of our youth here and all around the world whose life is over, fate has been sealed, who have been condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality. Whom this system has destined to oppression and oblivion even before they are born. I say, ‘No more of that'”.“They arrested me on Oct 24th for singing and dancing with my son. I’m about to say some real shit. We have to accept death. What do I mean by that? We’re still living in fear. Bringing our our children to school everyday, that’s living in fear, us going to work everyday, that’s living in fear. We can’t demand change and continue to do what we’re doing, we can’t demand change and go to work. We can’t demand change and send our innocent children to school. We have to stop living in fear, we have to Revolutionize ourselves. What are they teaching our kids in school, that Obama is a good man”.Supporters for Justice for the killing of 12 year old, African American Tamir Rice shot to death last year by Cleveland Police Loehmann and Garmback who were recently let off due to “lack of evidence”People of all ages and races came out to support Justice for Tamir Rice. It’s clear there’s are one set of rules for the PTB and another when it comes to arresting people exercising their rights.Members of Revcom.us holding the Revolution newspaper by Bob Avakian, a long time activist and member of the Revolution Communist Party who wrote BAsics
