On Insurrection by A. Shahid Stover

In a global context, the misery which informs the lives of the majority of humanity has for the most part become such a banality that human suffering itself is merely a part of the normal landscape of advanced neo-liberal capitalist societies, right next to the red and yellow ‘over one billion served’ McDonald’s sign in neon lights. As such, oppressed people become objectified, overdetermined by one's lot in life, looked upon as if we lack some fundamental grasp of the human condition itself, indeed, western bourgeois subjectivity has no tolerance for those who reject its standards as universally binding. Surely the problems we face are due to our lack of proper tools for assimilation. “Look at Obama”, this in spite of the fact that Western imperialism with a Black face is still Western imperialism.

And then something remarkable happens, in the face of overwhelming odds as constituted by the structural-inert violence of established power, one of us, and then more of us, refuse to accept the dehumanizing terms of our lived experience. We get in tune with that intrinsic spiritual rhythm of freedom which animates our shared humanity. The ensuing confrontation between the rebirth of a genuinely human subjectivity and the tyranny of established unjust power breeds insurrection . . .

San Francisco Neo-Colonial Police Murder Kenneth W. Harding

2011-07-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

On Saturday July 16th,2011

"When police stopped a teenager stepping off the T-train yesterday to show his transfer as proof he’d paid his fare – $2 at most – he ran from them. They shot him as many as 10 times in the back and neck, according to witnesses. For many long minutes, as a crowd watched in horror, the boy, who had fallen to the sidewalk a block away, lay in a quickly growing pool of blood writhing in pain and trying to lift himself up as the cops trained their guns on him and threatened bystanders.
Having killed the boy at 4:44 p.m., according to the San Francisco Chronicle, in broad daylight at the main intersection – Third Street between Palou and Oakdale – in Bayview Hunters Point, San Francisco’s last largely Black neighborhood, the police seemed eager to terrorize the community. They waited and waited and waited as the teenager stopped moving but continued breathing before eventually setting him on a gurney and taking him to the hospital, where the Chronicle reports he died at 7:01 p.m."
By Willie Ratcliff for the San Francisco Bay View

Postmodern Lumpenproletariat VS. Neo-Colonial Police Force:Lamar Moore Shoots Up Detroit's 6th Precint

2011-01-29T11:14:00.000-08:00

Police in the city of Detroit, in the US state of Michigan, on Friday released a graphic 68-second video showing a gunman striding into one of the city's precinct stations, and spraying volleys from a shotgun at surprised officers before being fatally wounded as he stood within inches (centimetres) of three of his victims. The video showed Lamar Moore, 38, walking into the precinct and past the raised front desk. He pulled a shotgun he had concealed along his left side and opened fire down a hallway, hitting a female sergeant in her bullet-proof vest. He was then seen firing more shots down the hallway as he reversed his steps back into the middle of the lobby. Two other sergeants were down that hallway returning fire at Moore. With Commander Brian Davis and a sergeant firing shots in his direction, Moore then lunged head first onto, then over, the front desk counter towards them and two other already wounded officers. On the video, Davis fell and dropped the gun he had been firing, but twisted around a smaller desk as Moore continued towards him. Davis then got to his feet and hurled a rubbish bin at the gunman. Moore, himself wounded, attempted to manoeuvre toward Davis, but fell to the floor. He later died while being taken to an area hospital, police said. Four officers were wounded. Davis, the most seriously injured, also was shot in the back. Police have not determined a motive for Moore's rampage. The day after, his younger brother was sentenced to up to 60 years in prison for the shooting deaths last year of two men at a Detroit auto repair shop.
