Today is Police Brutality Awareness Day

Today is October 22, the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality. In Los Angeles, there is a Call to March on Parker Center in Downtown Los Angeles by the "October 22 Coalition." The Coalition is named after a March Against Police Brutality on October 22, 1995.
In the year since the last October 22, peace officers in Los Angeles have shot and killed a 13-year old African-American boy, a 19-month old Latina baby and a beloved pet.
