it's the 50th anniversary of the black panthers. ck panthers is an organization that started in response to police brutality in the black community 50 years ago. many of the things they did had nothing to do with that sort of outward resistance to police. what they did was they started a breakfast program. they helped kids with literacy. they helped kids with their school work. you know you don't hear that in the story of the black panthers. what you do hear is the propaganda around them deciding that they wanted to defend themselves. as far as police volunteering police do not volunteer to do security here in philadelphia they volunteer for overtime. and so that security is paid for. they are paid for their time. they are paid to do their job. for example, here in philadelphia police do security in apple stores and apple pays for that overtime. so the whole notion that this is not some kind of boycott, i take exception to that because i think it absolutely is. and i think that they just need to call it that so that we can address it
