December 23, 2021A Tucson Cop Murdered A Disabled Man in A Wheelchair
Richard Lee Richards, a disabled man in Tucson, Arizona was fatally shot in the back by a cop after he allegedly stole a toolbox. Yet Joe Biden still went through with plans to make the Tucson police chief his new Border Patrol director. This is further evidence that the Democratic Party wants Black Lives Matter protesters off the streets but doesn’t intend to actually stop police brutality.

The Rittenhouse verdict is an indictment of the racist capitalist system.

To rid ourselves of this racist capitalist system, we must come together and shut it down.

With every victory won as a result of Black struggle, the ruling class has left no stone unturned to curtail social progress.
