Sean Bell Trial Closing

The trial of the three NYPD cops indicted for the November 2006 shooting death of Sean Bell and the serious wounding of his two friends is coming to a close. The judge has said he will deliver his verdict on April 25. During the trial, testimony by survivors of the attack and others brought back the horrors of that night when the police unleashed a 50-bullet barrage against the three young men. And the arguments by the cops’ lawyers in defense of their clients made clear that murderous violence against Black and Latino youth are what the armed enforcers of this system are supposed to do and trained to do.

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."

Bob Avakian,
Chairman of the RCP,USA
From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
