add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the incident of attack on author by police cops. When author was coming out of a restaurant, suddenly a police car screeched to a stop at the curb. Two cops jumped out and pushed him against the wall, frisking him from top to bottom with rough insolent hands. A cop like these had blasted the skull of Ruben Salazar, the Chicano columnist for the Los Angeles Times, in the Silver Dollar cafe. They have also arrested about 300 Chicanos since the police riot that erupted during the East Los Angeles peace rally, that Ruben was covering on the afternoon he was killed. The author did not wanted to be prisoner 301 so he accepted the indignity of their frisk with a gut-souring meekness.
