The first day of testimony (Thurs Aug 30th) here in New Orleans about what took place in the days following Hurricane Katrina has been riveting. The incident that stands out is the September 4th 2005 incident on the Danziger Bridge where 7 officers who were not dressed in uniform swooped down on an unarmed African American family and shot the mother, daughter, father and killed one of their teenage sons. Another African American family that witnessed this massacre saw themselves in danger as the police hunted down a retarded man named Ronald Madison and shot him 5 times in the back. Roanld’s brother Romel spoke before the packed Tribunal and gave a chilling account of what took place that day when those who were sworn to protect and serve acted like Al-Queda terrorists. Just to show you how bad things are and were here in New Orleans, the seven officers accused of first degree murder were let out on bail and allowed back to work inspite of being indicted by a Grand Jury. No wonder New Orleans is often referred to as Sin City. This is only the beginning, wait till you hear the other incidents of police terrorism that went down in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. Our show opens up with excerpts from speeches and interviews with former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Minister Willie Muhammed of the NOI and Malik Raheim of Common ground. Less
