Community Mobilizes Against Police Murder of Adolph Grimes Darwin 2009-01-08 6:02 PM

Community leaders gathered outside the police station today say Grimes was straight up murdered and that a full investigation can only be the beginning of bringing his killers to justice. The immediate police response to today's protest was to send out multiple plain-clothes officers to observe the demonstration. One undercover officer in dark glasses and a ball cap filmed the scene, recording the identities of those present. At one point there were six plain-clothes NOPD officers on Rampart Street observing the protest, one officer for every four protestors. Such responses to even the most peaceable of gatherings serves to intimidate and scare off otherwise aggrieved community members who fear police will target them if they are filmed at a rally.
