From Frank Chapman: "Listening to some of our people who call themselves leaders admonishing us about violence and going along with reactionaries and public officials calling the people in Minneapolis rioters fills me with anger and disgust."
"Whenever the oppressed rise up they are always told you are hurting no one but yourself. "I understand your anger but this is your neighborhood you are burning down," they say. Really?!
You mean these are my slums, my roach infested houses, that I am forced to live in. "
"You mean these are my police stations that function like military outposts where daily racist assaults are staged against us. Protesting against these oppressive conditions and killer cops is a democratic right."
"So when there is an uprising our duty is to be on the side of the people and to advance their democratic demands for community control of the police. The murderers of George Floyd must be arrested and jailed for their crimes. Period!"
