October 22 Help Needed! Please!

Hotep Brothers. A BULLET pierces through the flesh of an INNOCENT loved one, family member, relative, friend, etc. Why? By whom? A deaf individual is SHOT and KILLED simply for making a gesture? Why? By whom? An individual is SHOT and KILLED for being mistaken as having a weapon when the truth proves beyond reasonable doubt that the "weapon" was really a CELL-PHONE! Why? By whom? MY BELOVED BROTHERS OF ALPHADOM I humbly BEG you to note OCTOBER 22 as being THE NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY. If at all possible PLEASE show your endorsement by WEARING BLACK! Bro. Cornell West has endorsed The Oct. 22 National Day of Protest. Brothers, as one who has been touched and affected by police brutality for a dear family member of mine was MURDERED by a BLACK LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER I am vigorously partaking this issue and shall do so to my grave. Office@October22.org is a site that you can obtain information relative to local participation scheduled in your area. BROTHERS, PLEASE help. I know for a fact, that there are many ALPHA BROTHERS who work in Law Enforcement capacities, and my mission is not to imply that there are not professional law enforcement officers. I am simply seeking out those of YOU who can empathize with the VICTIMIZATION that is a wicked and rising epidemic of POLICE BRUTALITY. Again, my beloved ALPHA BROTHERS please help!

RBL's appreciated response.

Hotep Brothers. RBL, whatever you so decide to contribute will be appreciated. I trust, hope, and pray that the brotherhood embarks upon this very important issue. October22.org is another site of interest along with StolenLives.com. I am asking brothers to obtain a copy of the book "Stolen Lives" which chronicles and documents past/recent cases of police brutality. College/university bookstores should be encouraged to have the book in stock. Again, RBL thanks.
