Fliers are now being handed out during protests in New York under the BlackLivesMatter movement. The fliers are spelling outwhat they are demanding.
One such demand is essentially an end to access to the court system for police officers charged with a crime:“We demand a total independent investigative body that has full and total investigative powers, and unhindered access to any scene and full access to all evidence,” they write. “This investigative body will have full prosecuting power, and the authority to mete out punishment. This agency will have the power to immediately sequester any and all officers that are involved and/or on the scene.”Another demand is a direct attack on the police unions, “We demand that any officer found guilty of any crime or violation while on duty be imprisoned and heavily personally fined, and any union that defends that officer be heavily fined with all the money going to the victim.”Yet another demand is what amounts to the end of the 5th Amendment for police officers:“We demand any officer that do not (sic) freely come forth and speak about abuse and corruption by fellow officers or the department that they should be aware of, be charged with conspiracy and imprisoned and heavily fined.”The flier ends with the words, “FREEDOM JUSTICE AND EQUALITY OR DEATH.”
