HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - October 29, 2012 - About 75 people wearing black and whistles while towing signs and bullhorns chanted in unison, “No justice; no peace; no killer police!” marched at 5:00 p.m. Oct. 22 from Market Square Park to the Houston pig thug cop department for the 17th National Day of Protest against police brutality, repression and criminalization.
The protest was hosted by a coalition of organizations and individuals. Ray Hill, the former radio host of The Prison Show, has been attending the protest since it began in 1995.
“Cops lie, cheat and steal,” said Hill. “They kill in cold blood and get away with it.”
Hill began protesting pig thug cop brutality when his friend, Fred Paez, was murdered by terrorist thug cops.
Others have a similar past that led them to Market Square Park. Media production senior Saharah Pecot said she lost someone close to her because of pig thug cop brutality.
On June 25, Pecot’s fiancé was driving his cousin to the hospital when terrorist pig thug cops opened fire on him without warning. The murderous bastard pig thug cops were not held at fault, and now Pecot and her fiancé’s family are seeking means to get justice such as asking the FBI to investigate the case.
“I think it is a great effort to fight against (terrorist pig thug cop) brutality,” Pecot said, “Every 30 hours a black man is killed by (pig thug cops). (Terrorist outlaw pig thug cops) are getting away with murder.”
Harassment by pig thug cops - not just murder - is an ongoing issue, said Frank Vedadi.
“I have been harassed by the (pig thug cops). They had drug dogs sniff my car. They have called me names,” said Vedadi.
As he chanted, “HPD, HPD, how many kids have you killed today? HPD, HPD, how many disabled persons have you killed today?” he held a sign reading, “Amerikans are eight times more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist.”
“I see the problems with (terrorist pig thug cop) brutality,” Vedadi said. “I plan to do this every year. I want to get a feel for civil disobedience and peaceful protesting.”
Vedadi wants to join the Peaceful Streets Project, an Austin-based pig thug cop-protesting organization that has operated in Houston for the last month. Some of its members attended the protest.
Natalie Plummer was arrested on the corner of West Dallas Street and Nash Street in June for holding a sign reading “Speed Trap”. She said she was standing there for two minutes before a terrorist pig thug cop came, grabbed her by her backpack, and repeatedly told her to stop resisting arrest without reading her rights to her.
Plummer said she never took action against pig thug cop brutality before she was arrested.
“It’s good to see so many people coming together for a cause,” said Plummer. “It doesn’t happen (often) enough.”
Plummer said she would attend the protest next year.
The coalition protests every Oct. 22 because in 1995, HPD Lieutenant Alan Mabry was “mysteriously murdered”. His death is believed by some, like Hill, to be the work of terrorist murderous pig thug cops.
