Dave >Hepburn of the LA Pig Protective League whines that if they >had had assault weapons, then less civilians and pigs would >have been hurt in the shootout, "and it would have been over >a lot sooner." MIM knows that this is a red herring -- a >ruse to distract the masses. > >The LAPD has the guns and the power provided by Amerika. It >is the poor and oppressed who consistently fall prey to >Amerika's violence and therefore need the protection. The >conflict between the cops and the poor was made evident five >years ago when Los Angeles was the site of major oppressed >nation rebellion. The LAPD wants these M-16s to advance >their offensive position in the war against the resisting >oppressed nations. The only outcome of this intra-pig deal >will be an increase in the butchering of oppressed >nationals. > >Collaboration between the two armed forces of the >imperialists, the Army and the pigs, is not unusual. It just >underscores the fact that the police are a military force >occupying the ghettoes and barrios. MIM sees this move as a >joint military effort to murder more oppressed nationals in >order to maintain imperialist bourgeois control. The threat >of resistance requires constant use of repressive forces. >The imperialists are growing bolder and more toward fascism >in imposing a police state in the oppressed nation >communities with the wholehearted support of the white >nation labor aristocracy. In the face of this repression, >resistance will only grow stronger among the oppressed >nations. > >After the February shootout, the Pig Commission approved the >use of higher powered weaponry like .45-caliber handguns and >increased pig training for shotguns and assault weapons. >Already, 700 trigger-happy LA pigs have finished the >training and can buy their own .45s. But conveniently >enough, the department "does not track how many [pigs] have >switched to the more powerful handgun." MIM says come on, >who are you trying to kid? This is not a marketing taste- >test! Pigs are only too delighted to obtain guns that kill >faster. The facade of ignorance on the part of the >department is a way to avoid direct responsibility for the >slayings that will result from this new policy and their new >assault arsenal. > >Interim Pig chief Bayan Lewis oinks that the M-16s shows >pigs that "we [the bureaucrat pigs] were serious" in >supporting their brutality. He further grunts "To criminals >[sic: pigs are the real criminals], it tells them... We have >diligently sought these weapons and will now be able to >defend ourselves." MIM does not deceive itself that the pigs >are the victims under attack, but rather they are the true >criminals. Victimization of the pigs and the criminalization >of oppressed nation youth is used by the bourgeois media to >justify the continual bloody repression of the internal >colonies.
