Song of the Day 6/14: The Offspring, “Come Out and Play”
More commonly known as “Keep ‘Em Separated,” this tune became a rock radio classic soon after its 1994 release. Dexter Holland, lead singer of the LA-based punk-pop group, wrote it in response to gang violence, but the chorus fits today’s police riots just as well. The song paved the way for the band’s “Smash” LP […]

Atlanta Cops Kill Rayshard Brooks. Pandemonium ensues. Cop culture must die.

[…]
Song of the Day 6/13: The Clash, “Know Your Rights”
You have three of them. The lead single from 1982’s “Combat Rock” LP remains as pertinent as when it was written. Mister, we could use a man like Joe Strummer again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lfInFVPkQs

Song of the Day 6/12: Canned Heat, “Sic ‘Em Pigs”
America, having learned nothing from the ’60s, is now repeating them in bits and pieces. Today’s riots over the police mistreatment of African-Americans harks back to yesteryear’s antagonistic relationship between law enforcement personnel, or “pigs,” as they were known among the country’s disaffected youth, and protesters of various stripes. Pre-social media, the nation’s youth used […]

Pete Schwartzkopf Must Resign as Speaker
Pete Schwartzkopf has politicized Delaware’s police and elevated them to a branch of government, co-equal to the legislature. NOBODY ever FUCKING VOTED FOR THIS!
News Journal yesterday:
But the top-ranking Democrat, who voiced support for the Black Caucus’ proposed reforms at a Wednesday press conference, warned during the interview that proposed regulations such as body cameras aren’t going to become laws without police approval. “A legislator writing a policy is not going to get the approval of the law enforcement officers, I’m going to tell you that right now,” Schwartzkopf said.
Pete Schwartzkopf must resign and ALL Democrats MUST renounce this utter bullshit. All street actions should now include demands for Pete Schwartzkopf’s removal.
