Join the Justice for Kenny Coalition for the Annual March on 5th Avenue against Police Brutality by the notorious Suffolk County Police, marking the 5th anniversary of the police murder of Kenny Lazo! What: JKC Annual 5th Avenue March against Police Brutality Where: Suffolk County 3rd Precinct 1650 5th Avenue, Bay Shore, NY When: Saturday, April 13th 2013 Time: 1:00PM The Justice for Kenny Coalition & supporters are calling Suffolk County residents, ALL OF LONG ISLAND & ALL OF NEW YORK to COME FORWARD, STAND UP, SPEAK OUT, and MARCH against the Police Brutality that has plagued Long Island communities for decades! Five years ago, on April 12th, 2008, Kenny Lazo was pulled over and then beaten to death by a gang of five Suffolk County police officers: Christopher Talt, Joseph Link, William Judge, James Scimone, & John Newton. The officers involved had seven prior complaints filed against them for excessive use of force, but that didn't keep them off the streets that fateful night they took Kenny's life! To make matters worse, the grand jury found no reason to indict the officers, even though the Coroner's office deemed Kenny's death a homicide. Multiply Kenny's case by tens or hundreds, and you have an idea of what Long Island residents have faced in the past and must face EVERYDAY - the knowledge that a loved one can be killed in any instant, and those responsible will never be held accountable! Collectively, we are calling for a deeper investigation to bring the murdering officers to justice and demand that the police department, courts, and media, who work hand in hand to cover up these crimes, essentially allowing for the continuation of these crimes, also be held accountable! This can only be made possible if and when Long Island residents come together to speak out against Police Brutality and organize to fight against this oppressive system that does not care about the lives of the loved ones we have lost, or US! On Saturday, April 13th, 2013, the rally will begin at 1PM in front of the 3rd Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department at 1650 5th Avenue, in Bay Shore, Long Island, NY. Family members & supporters will be speaking out against the police violence in the community, and artists will be performing. At 2:30PM, we will march along 5th Avenue and neighboring streets. We are looking for interested individuals and organizations (specifically in Long Island) for the support we need to make this event successful. We are organizing rides from New York City to Long Island for the day of the march. Please write to JusticeforKennyLazo@yahoo.com and/or ACDMedia@ymail.com for more information. Police brutality & corruption is no stranger to Long Island communities. A few years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center sent up their own investigative journalists from Alabama because police brutality & hate crimes were unusually high, requesting US Attorney General Eric Holder to launch a federal investigation. Now, the New York Civil Liberties Union is suing Suffolk County Jails for their appalling living conditions. Families of police brutality victims are coming forward with their stories, filled with lies & corruption on the sides of the police, the courts & mainstream media. It’s only a matter of time. If you or your friends or family have ever experienced police abuse, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Please come forward with your story. Anonymity is always an option.

La brutalidad policial y la corrupción no es ajeno a las comunidades de Long Island. Hace unos años, el Southern Poverty Law Center envió a sus periodistas de investigación propios de Alabama por la brutalidad policial y los crímenes de odio fueron inusualmente alta, solicitar fiscal general de EE.UU. Eric Holder para lanzar una investigación federal. Ahora, el New York Civil Liberties Union demandó a las cárceles del condado de Suffolk por sus pésimas condiciones de vida. Las familias de las víctimas de la brutalidad policial se han decidido con sus historias, llenas de mentiras y corrupción en los laterales de la policía, los tribunales y los medios de comunicación convencionales. Es sólo una cuestión de tiempo. Si usted o sus amigos o familia alguna vez ha experimentado el abuso policial, USTED NO ESTÁ SOLO. Por favor, venga adelante con su historia.
