Black Lives Matter Movement
Have you ever read or heard about a click of rogue California correctional officers dubbed the “Green Wall?” What about the Oakland Police Department’s “Riders?” Or the “Rampart Division” of tine LAPD? How about those “Gladiator Fights” orchestrated by prison officials at the California State Prison, Corcoran, which resulted in 31 prisoners killed by police bullets? Certainly, you heard about the white police officer in OKC who was recently sentenced to 266 years for raping black women? Or the 21 or better officers at the LA County jail who were recently sentenced to federal prison? And who could forget Rodney King or what racist pigs did with fire hoses during the 1960s? It wasn’t that long ago.
