The Peace and Freedom Party State Central Committee condemns the all-too-frequent killings of unarmed persons by various police agencies, most notably the murder of apprentice butcher Oscar Grant in Oakland, California on January 1, 2009. We also note and condemn the great disparity in the treatment of police accused in such incidents in stark contrast to that of ordinary persons charged with similar crimes.
Adopted by the State Central Committee, March 1, 2009
