I live in a neighborhood/housing project where the police are constantly harassing people who live here and we are fed up. How do we make it stop?

There are a number of steps you can take to get the police to stop harassing your neighborhood. €¢ Get as many people as possible to file complaints. It is important that some of these people are direct victims of or witnesses to the police misconduct.

File all the complaints at once and try to make a news event of it. Call the local newspapers, radio stations and television stations to let them know what you're doing. €¢ Organize a group of neighbors to demand a meeting with the local substation captain.

€¢ Organize large groups to speak inside and rally outside of city council meetings, police commission meetings, and other meetings of groups who have the power to do something about the problem. The more people that are signed on and are willing to speak out, the more likely the department will have to listen. Always try to get local media to cover any particular harassment event as well as the broader problem.

PoliceWatch may be able to give some advice (like strategy or media ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
