We want an immediate end te POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We belie ve we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for selfate: & We want freedom fer all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and Jails. We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have mot received a fair and impartial trial 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution » that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer $s a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en yamental, historic nd racial background. To do this the court will be t k community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the black community rced to select a jury fre 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace.

IT IS AN EXPLOSIVE ISSUE WHICH GOES TO THE VERY ROOT OF AMERICA’S SYSTEM OF JUSTICE, THE STRUCTURE OF CRIMINAL LAW, THE PREVAILING BELIEFS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD A CONVICTED FELON.” (SOUL ON ICE, P.59) Eldsdge Cleaver made the decision to poliucally eaile himself November 27th, on the basis that the Adult Authority made an outlaw dect- rg and that he has been denied his constitutional right to duc process of ‘The revocation of Cleavers parole ~e« legal. because no parole vielation was conmmitted. The Adult Authority parole bowrd has tied to maintain that Cleaver violated his parole by having a rifle in his possession, and associating with individuals of bad reputation. This contention, we will » is false, Adult Authority version contradicts the Superior Court order itvelf *... Cleaver’s oaly handling of a firearm (the rifle) was in obedience * to a police command. He did not handle hand gun at all. There was noth- ing one way or the other to show a conspimcy or a situation calling for the lication of the doctrine of aiding and abetting. Hence, nothing support- CTetther the possession of a firearm or the ascaa charge. As to the charge of association with individuals of bad reputation, the report indicated that two or three of thove named had “police records,” but nothing to show whether any had been convicted of anything. or whethor Cleaver knew of their arrest record.” (Superior Court ct. 157, 138, 140, lél) Parolee Cleaver was denied duc process of law by being denied opportunity to present his case, hy wes Cleaver sstassed We plore = ae rs evidence contrary been Lo defense 0 amwer bo or on any » At same time, the Adalt Authority maintains —falvely—that Cleaver has the oppor- tunity to defend himself at a hearing.

Its decision was an outlaw decision. Cleaver had no chance of obtaining “justiee™ from these Star Chamber proceedings. Why thea wouldn't the US. Supreme Court hear Cleaver's case? There are, we believe, three reavoas why the case eager ‘The first is that any fair minded court would obvious ly have Cleaver, thereby setting a precedent. The second is that thousands of cases of alleged parole wiolstion from all over California and other states would be to reversal. Thirdly, the illegal functioning of the Adult Authority come under attack. The U.S. Supreme Coart just couldn't afford to consider the Cleaver case during this turbulent period. Eldridge Cleaver is a victim of masked, shameless tion. As Judge Sherwin puts it “... The encontradicted evidence prevented to this court indicated that the petitioner had been a mode! parolee. The peril to”his parole status ste 4 from no failure of pase rehabilitation, but from his undue elo- quence in pursuing poli goals, goals which were offensive to many of political pemecu- wares Bertrand Rune his contemporaries.

This is not am issue of one man’s freedom, but a broad struggle which affirms the right of all of us to speak out politically in this country.
