Enough of It - Another Police Murder

The Uprising in Athens was sparked by the murder of a youth Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the police. In solidarity actions around the world, people told the police that enough was enough, no more state sponsored murder. Cops must be held accountable.
On New Years Day 2009 in Hayward California, the police, in cold blood, murdered Oscar Grant.

From Democracy Now:
"Oakland Police Shooting Victim to Be Buried

In Hayward, California, a funeral will be held today for twenty-two-year-old Oscar Grant, who was shot dead on New Year’s Day by a BART police officer on an Oakland train platform. Three cell phone videos of the shooting have emerged. They show an officer pulling out a gun and shooting Grant in the back while he was lying face down on the ground. Grant worked as a butcher at an Oakland grocery store and was the father of a four-year-old daughter. Investigators have yet to interview the officer involved in the shooting."

Why: Privatization of education, corporatization of campuses, barriers to
immigration, police repression, poverty and institutionalized racism all
led to the current uprising in Greece. We are struggling here with the
very same issues! This is why we stand with our brothers and sisters in
Greece.
