Justice for Freddie Gray – CONVICT & JAIL the Murdering Cops

When: Monday June 13 4:30 pm
Where: North Calvert & East Fayette, Baltimore, MD
Facebook Event


Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party said today:


"Baltimore police murdered Freddie Gray OVER A YEAR AGO. They came up on him for no reason and assaulted him. They bent him like a pretzel, to the point where his screams of pain were heard a block away. Then police threw Freddie Gray in a van and subjected him to the “rough ride” that has terrorized and tortured so many Black people in Baltimore. By the time they were through with him, Freddie Gray was near dead. He died a week later. Together, these police murdered Freddie Gray. They are ALL murderers and accessories to murder. Police saw him not as a human being but a Black man who they were licensed to torture and kill. This was a modern day lynching.

Over and over police in America kill Black and Brown people with impunity. What was different this time is that the youth of Baltimore rose up. Their uprising was followed by days of outrage and protest by people from all walks of life – especially students. The uprising and the aftermath forced the hand of the powers-that-be to bring charges against six police who murdered Freddie Gray.

But ever since, the wheels of injustice have worked to cover up what really happened, deny justice, and let the murdering police go free. They are letting the murderers walk on the installment plan. And media coverage has worked 24-7 to focus people’s attention on anything but the real issue: JUSTICE for Freddie Gray.

The first trial of the police who killed Freddie Gray ended in a mistrial. The second ended in an acquittal. Right now Goodson, the cop accused of ignoring Freddie Gray’s desperate demand for medical help, throwing him in the back of a police van, and subjecting him to a rough ride – at the end of which Freddie Gray was near death – is on trial for murder. This trial CANNOT be another whitewash. It CANNOT be another mockery of justice. What is needed to change things is for PEOPLE to take things into our own hands. We are making clear: there MUST be justice in this case. We are not asking, we are demanding:

Justice for Freddie Gray!

Convict the killer police and send them to jail!

The days when police can kill with impunity must be gone, and they can be gone.

Be there Monday! Stand tall!

Justice for #FreddieGray - Decision Very Soon


Chris --

Closing arguments in the trial of Baltimore PO Caesar Goodson are scheduled for Monday morning. Goodson drove the van, giving Freddie Gray the "rough ride," and is charged with depraved heart murder. Previous trials of 2 cops involved in the killing have not ended in convictions....and there is serious doubt that the president judge will find Goodson guilty. Carl Dix is in Baltimore organizing protest.

Freddie Gray, Killed by Baltimore police, 2015

Take to the Streets if Goodson Walks, or Gets A Slap on the Wrist!

Baltimore police MURDERED Freddie Gray. Yet the courts are letting the killer cops walk free one by one. This is totally unacceptable. When the verdict is announced—show your outrage, take to the streets, starting at the courthouse.

Freddie was chased and beaten down by cops who arrested him for nothing. Video shows him bent like a pretzel. They ignored his cries of pain and threw him in the police van. Then the cops subjected him to the kind of “rough ride” that has terrorized many Black people in Baltimore. This was a modern day lynching, and it’s the kind of thing police in this country inflict on Black and Brown people with impunity, all the damn time!

They are letting the murdering cops go free on the installment plan. The first trial of one of the cops who was involved in Freddie’s murder ended in a mistrial, and the cop in the 2nd trial was found not guilty. Now the cop who gave Freddie that “rough ride” is on trial. We cannot sit back while the system engages in another mockery of justice and let another killer cop walk.

What we do matters a great deal. There wouldn’t even have been trials of any of these killer cops if people hadn’t rebelled after Freddie’s death. We must take things into our hands and demand justice for Freddie Gray, and for all the victims of brutal, murdering cops.

The day the verdict is announced take to the streets, starting outside the courthouse, 100 Calvert at Lexington, Baltimore.

Authorities Greasing Skids to Let Killer Cop Walk in Baltimore!

Take it to the Streets if Goodson Walks

by Carl Dix

Once again – now in the case of the outrageous MURDER of Freddie Gray – this system is showing that it has nothing to offer the masses of Black people; nothing but savage attacks that have a genocidal thrust – lead-paint poisoning, rotten education, falling down housing, no jobs, abuse and even murder at the hands of the police, and NO JUSTICE ANYWHERE.

Once again this system has proven that, in its eyes, Black people have no rights that their pigs are bound to respect. The murder of Freddie Gray – and the attempts of this system to let his killers walk free – is yet one more reason why this system is totally illegitimate. And it is yet one more reason why we need a REVOLUTION at the earliest possible time! read more
