- Justice for Kohen Wiley!
Mississippi police killed one-year-old Kohen Wiley while he was in his mother’s arms.
Not even black babies are exempt from the racist terror of the Mississippi police. This should be a wake-up call for activists, militant workers and everyone who wants to fight Trump reaction. The protest that has happened pales in comparison to the level of the atrocities committed by cops who brutalize and blow away black people all the time. Whose child will they be “justified” in killing next?
Ever since the liberals and Democrats turned their backs on the black struggle, much of the left has done the same. The left must get it together to put the fight against racist cop terror at the center of a wider pushback against Trump’s attacks.
Kill-crazy cops getting away with murder just emboldens kill-crazy ICE agents to get away with murder and encourages witch-hunts against the left. These are the same racist thugs in blue who will be unleashed on workers if they get out of line. Beating back these attacks will take a real mobilization in the streets, one with the social power to make the cops think twice.
The Mississippi police are notorious for their crimes. Recall the sadistic torture of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker at the hands of the “goon squad.” These heinous crimes are not isolated to red states either. Just last week, NYC Democratic Mayor Mamdani protected the cop who killed Win Rozario and the ICE agents who shot Oscar Belgal.
The killing of Kohen Wiley doesn’t show why we need Democrats in office—it shows why we need to fight for labor/black power in this country.
The evidence is so damning that the state won’t even release the video of the shooting! Why? Because it would risk sparking mass revolt to see Kohen killed in the arms of his mother and expose the kinds of crimes cops get away with all the time. Release the Footage! Open All Police Archives!
