JUSTICE HAS NOT BEEN SERVED!

RALLY & PRAYER VIGIL FOR TRAMAINE MILLER & HIS FAMILY Saturday August 13, 2011 7:30pm Urgent Request By now, you should know Reginald Fisher, the officer who shot Tramaine Miller, an unarmed man, in the face at point blank range has been found "Not Guilty." Tramaine was at the City View Apartments to help his paralyzed Aunt with her medication. As you can only imagine, Tramaine and his family are devastated by a verdict from a jury that seems to have felt that the aggressive manner in which so many urban communities are policed is an acceptable norm. During the trial it was disclosed that the property owners and the police intentionally implemented what was described as guerilla tactics. While the property management, their police force and this jury may approve of the use of guerilla tactics in our community, It is imperative that we make it clear that WE DO NOT! Christians, Muslims, Pan-Africans, Black Nationalists, Hebrew Israelites, Traditional Spiritualists and the like... ALL OF US, are being are being gunned down, beaten and flat out terrorized by some police officers across this country largely because they know they can get away with it! They know, in many instances, the Black community won't re-act. They know police historically get away with attacking and even killing Black people. We need to make a different statement. On Saturday @ 7:30p.m. we will not only show our love and support for Tramaine Miller after this unjust verdict, we will also send that message t= o the security force, property management and to all of Atlanta at a mass rally and candlelight prayer vigil. Regardless of where we live, we should be safe from police brutality! Again, the prayer vigil will be held a few feet from the place Tramaine nearly lost his life in front of City View Apartments on the public sidewalk at 259 Richardson, Atlanta, GA 30312, on Saturday August 13, 2011 @ 7:30 p.m. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE SEE YOU THERE!
