What is it about

Or is it just author

Whatever your

than ever there is
a ne between the
people and the
police. The riots in
South Central LA
are proof that
much of the same
angst that ignited
large cines in the
sixties is stil
prevalent today
Not much has
changed. When
cops can get away
with beating a
man for over five
minutes with shod
foot and billy
clubs, all on video-
tape, then me

badge is to strong
Just think of how
many times cops
have done things
that haven't been
captured on film
The cities are
becoming battle-
grounds where
might makes right
and the poor sul-

nobody helps you

How could a group
