At other times they have denied it. No 'investigation' is needed. The city authorities are stalling in the hopes our outcry will dissipate. Meanwhile, they try to paint Thomas Jones as a subhuman brute who got what he deserved. This is just what the politicians and cops in New York tried to do to Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond.
Police violence is a necessity for the cops of the capitalist system.
The goal of this brutality is to intimidate workers and farmers from fighting for our rights and for a decent living. As the crisis of capitalism deepens, their brutality will escalate. Join the Socialist Workers campaign to help promote the idea of combining our struggles into a revolutionary movement to fight for our own government, a workers and farmers government, that will dismantle the employers' police and begin to construct a socialist society that puts human needs before profits.
