Enough is Enough: The death of Jonny Gammage

Jonny Gammage, a 31-year-old African-American businessman, was pulled over by five white police officers while driving a Jaguar owned by his cousin, Pittsburgh Steeler Ray Seals. During the ensuing struggle Gammage was asphyxiated. There was shock and revulsion in the community, and thousands, both black and white, took to the streets to protest.

politicians and activists such as Prof. Charles Ogletree of Harvard, Louis Farrakhan, Johnnie Cochran, Al Sharpton and many others.

back then the racial profiling was more predominant,today these boroughs of brentwood/baldwin are still the same ..the cops are rogues,they brutalize everybody,they use the law as a tool for evil...just ask the people who live in those neighborhoods,they wil tel you how bad it is for them,i can't figure out why they stay and i can't figure out why the feds haven't stepped in to go after these animals..!

to better understand this unthinkable act of blatant police brutality,listen to the song: "The death of Johnny Gammage" by Ploughmans Lunch. In the future share the observance of Columbus Day with the untimely death of an innocent man.
