SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2015, 12:00 NOON. MARCH BEGINS AT THE LINCOLN MONUMENT, INTERSECTION OF SPRINGFIELD AVENUE & WEST MARKET STREET, NEWARK, NEW JERSEYPolice brutality is an ongoing, growing and deadly problem in the United States of America.It includes the unwarranted and unjustified killing of unarmed people, the use of excessive force, the violation of peoples’ constitutional rights, racist and discriminatory practices, criminal activity, corruption and misconduct, increased militarization of police forces, and the failure of the criminal justice system to hold police accountable.Police brutality is not an isolated problem. It is a historical problem with roots that are deep in the social fabric of this country. It must be seen within the broader context of racial and economic injustice and inequality.While the victims of police brutality come from all racial groups in society, the vast majority come from African American, Latino, Native American and other communities of color. They are overwhelmingly poor and working class. Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Abdul Kamal, Kashad Ashford, Rekia Boyd, and Jerame Reid are among the recent victims.
