WHEN DO POLICEMAN
BECOME "PIGS"
This question should not be hard
to answer for most Black people,
but for the benefit of those col-
ored and Negro people,dig this.
Police are supposed to protect
peoples lives,but as most of us
know,they dont.Guided by their
hate for Black people they kill
more of us than they protect.
When do they become pigs?
When they kill us for stealing a
TV set,when they stop your woman
and tell her to give up some ass
or go to jail.When you get a tic-
ket for going 25 rnph in a 30 mph
. zone.When they tell you to put
your hands up,let me see your ID,
NIGGER.When they arrest you for '
calling them a HONKEY M.F, after
they called you a nigger.Knowing
that all the above is true you
will even get arrested for cal-
ling them what they are-Blood-
sucking Boot licking murderous
lackies,who follow the orderes
of their masters like the beasts
that they are.
This is the type p>f bullshit
that most Black people go through
every day of their lives in one
form or another.Now I say that
it is time to put a stop to this.
If they can carry guns and ride
around and fuck with us then it is
our duty to do what ever is neces-
sary to protect nor lives.In Watts,
Detroit and many other places Black
people saw it was necessary to pick
up the gun for self defense.If the
people of Watts could do it then
so can we.
WHO WERE THE REAL GUNMEN?
On Sunday the 16 of August at
about II pm Jimmy Bridges was
murdered by the San Antonio Police
Department.Bridges who had a gun
fired no shots but was the victim
of a brutal murder.Patrolman Ross
was said to have fired a warning
shot under the car that Bridges was
^aid to have been hiding behind.

When patrolman Tannehill arrived at
the scene he turned his headlights
on Bridges.Tannehill then fired 5
shots and Ross one shot.With all of
the practice the SAPD is supposed
to have in the art of murder only I
shot hit Bridges.(note) One month
prior to this one other Black was
murdered in his home by the SAPD.
He also had two low calaber pistols
Martin Luther King is the
most notorious liar in the
country.
J. Edgar Hoover
We respect only the laws
that the people make and
if you put your hands on us
we will send you to the
CEMETERY
in his back pockets but unlike Bridges he
never had a chance to fire.He was MACED in
the eyes and then shot to death by our city
mercenaries.
Ask yourself a few questions.Why would a
policeman after cornering someone fire a
warning shot under the car that the victim
(in this case Bridges) was hiding behind.
Bridges having committed no crime other than
possession of an illegal weapon at this time
had no choice but to assume that he was being
fired upon.Yet he did not return the fire.
Amidst this another pig drove up and shined
his headlights on Bridges,making him a perfect
target.Bridges still did not fire.There was
then a barrage of gun fire and when the smoke
had cleared Bridges lay dead murdered by the
most lethal weapon of the system has against
the people of this country the PIGS
Put yourself in the situation and ask
another question.
When the other brother was killed in his
home,why was his wife arrested for narcotics
Could it be that she saw or knew samething
and the pigs were afraid she might have
something to say about it.No one knows and
we may never know because the pigs are going
to send her to the pen if they can.There is
a lesson to be learned by this example
brothers.When and if you do pick up the gun
against the pigs use it,because if you dont
get them first they sure as hell will get
you.
"I ENVY YOU.YOU NCGHDH AMERICANS ARE
VERY LUCKY.YOU ARE FIGHTING THE MOST
IMPORTANT FIGHT OF ALL.
YOU LIVE IN THE HEART OF THE BEAST"
CHE GUEVERA
What would consider a PIG?
A low natured beast with no regard for the
rights of others,a foul tyrant,a traducer
usually found masquerading as a victim of
a unpDovoked attack.
