Story Behind the Song
This song deals with the fightback we must all wage against police brutality. This isn't a case of a few "bad cops," but of an occupational force that must all be fought. Jalil, to whom this song is dedicated, is in prison for his organizing efforts and battle against the state.
Less than two months from his twentieth birthday, on August 28, 1971, Jalil was captured along with Albert Nuh Washington in a midnight shoot-out with San Francisco police (It has been alleged that Jalil and Nuh attempted to assassinate a S.F. police sergeant in retaliation for the August 21, 1971 assassination of BPP Field Marshal George Jackson). Subsequently, Jalil was charged with a host of revolutionary underground activities, including the assassination of NYC police officers for which he is curently serving a life sentence.
