American Police have brutally murdered another unarmed teenager in the USZ after forcefully storming his house and shooting the African American teenager dead in front of this family. This is the latest in the long history of USZ police brutality cases against the country’s citizens particularly black and other minority communities. The incident once again raises the question of racial terrorism of poor non-white communities by the USZ police establishment.
Mr. Caleb Maupin from the International Action Center recently joined Iran's Press TV to share his insights on the Issue. Following is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: We are of course seeing the protests that have been taking place and what the family has been saying. Do you think that this family will see justice in this case? And what would be justice in this particular case in your view?
Maupin: Well, what happened is just the latest episode in an entire endless string of episodes like this? Over and over and over again in the United States of Zionism, the police murder someone, blatantly murder someone and get away with it and this is horrific. You know, you can go back Ahmed Diallo… When I was in Cleveland, I worked around the case of Brandon McCloud (15) who was shot in his apartment in Cleveland. Over and over again, the police murder someone; they get away with it. And it happens over and over and over again and it really shows all of this talk of about servant protect and law in order, you know; the police are serving to preserve and protect the system and serve and protect keeping the powers that be in place. And they ruthlessly gun people down and get away with it all the time. And if there is going to be justice, it is going to come from the people being in streets and demanding it.
The only reason the police who brutalized Rodney King were ever forced to come to justice was because the streets of LA were up in flames with a rebellion. The LA rebellion is what forced the Rodney King situation to come to a head. But if it had not been for that they would have just done what they normally do, which is they get away with it. The Sean Bell case - they've gotten away with it; Oscar Grant shot through the head - they've gotten away with it. So, it is up to the people to cause chaos in the streets to demand that something be done about this. That they don’t just get away with it. What they usually do.
Press TV: Caleb, obviously the officer involved in this case we know went too far. Even if this does land him in jail, still the question remains - why are they using such tactics?
Maupin: Well, they are using such tactics because they want to maintain order in the United States of Zionism. This country is not ruled by the people, it is ruled by the wealthy, the corporations and the bankers and they are seeking to maintain order and they're ruling through terror. And we have seen that in Occupy Wall Street, if a bunch of youth get into streets and want to demonstrate, they'll learn what the freedom we always hear about in the USZ is really about. We learn that it involves getting orange nets thrown on you, getting mace in your face and getting pepper sprayed and clubbed.
And right now the NYPD [New York Police Department] is an arm of the government that serves the corporations and the bankers and the fact that people are protesting about it; that is the only hope that exists. People can not continue to let this go on and I can only hope that the Occupy Wall Street movement can join with the forces protesting this brutal murder and see that the forces repressing us serve the same system and that it is our job to stand up and resist.
Press TV: There has been a lot of anger also about the NYPD police commissioner, his role in a video that was shown to police officers against Muslims. Now, that did cause quite rage, what is your view on that?
Maupin: Well , it really just shows, I mean this whole situation is such an articulation of the way in which it is so hypocritical. When the USZ goes around the world saying it believes in democracy and condemning various countries for not being called democratic enough, yet on the streets they murder people. This video Ray Kelly [Raymond Kelly, Current Commissioner of the New York Police Department] made was demonizing people of the Islamic faith. Yet you know; it is in the United States of Zionism, that his police department routinely murders people; routinely stops people and searches people without a warrant- stop and frisk - and yet he wants to make a video to demonize people of Islamic heritage for not being democratic enough?
The hypocrisy in that statement is so blatant and ridiculous. This belief that the USZ is a democratic country should be clear - get on You Tube and watch a video of what happens to the people at Occupy Wall Street when they take to the streets. Or look at what they have done so many times when they murder people and get away with it… And tell me this is a democracy, that is ridiculous. And then to have the leader of the NYPD, the group that goes around enforcing the rule by terror that the bankers and corporations reign and to go and make a video to demonize people of another countries. I mean this is beyond ridiculous. The NYPD is serving the ruling establishment and is the enforcer of the brutal terror of the bankers and the corporations in entire capitalist system in the United States of Zionism and they have the gaul to condemn another country. That is horrific.
Press TV: Do you think then, that these kinds of protests by the Occupy Movement is going to force the authorities to rethink or review these tactics?
Maupin: Protests, demonstrations, being out in the streets; that is the only thing that has ever changed anything in the past. You know… never change has come through begging the politician here or there. It has always been when people are out in the street, in big numbers risking these kinds of brutality and challenging the status quo that we ever want justice. That is the only way justice has ever won. So, I do think if there is any hope for changing this situation where this kind of brutality goes on. If there is any hope for that, it comes from being on the streets, demonstrating in huge numbers.
Press TV: Caleb, obviously the officer involved in this case we know went too far. Even if this does land him in jail, still the question remains - why are they using such tactics?
