Taking on Jack-Booted Thugs
by Sista Shiriki Unganisha
I have been researching bounty hunt-ers/slave-catchers and will
share what hap-pened to me on December 2, 1996, so you can see how slave-catchers
work hand in hand with cops and do their dirty work for them. This is what
happened to me.
My crazy 22-year-old *grown* son has been driving with a suspended driver's
license, his car not registered properly, and no insurance. He continued
to get tickets, was in and out of jail behind this kind of dumb behavior.
Well today two jack-booted thugs came to my house looking for him.
I was back in the office on the computer when I finally heard the knocking
at the door. Still in my sleeping clothes, I looked out the peep hole and
saw this black male that I did not know. The knee-grow stated, "I'm
looking for Edward Falcon." I told him, "Edward Falcon does not
live here," and he told me to open the door or he would kick it in.
"You going to do what!"
I went into the bedroom to get some clothes to put on. By the time I got
back to the front room, the knee-grow is looking through the front window
and flashing his badge. Now two of these gangstas are out there in street
clothes and no one has identified himself.
I remained calm (even though I'm scared as hell) so I don't get upset. Knowing
I *must* let them in, I'm stalling for time to get my wits about me because
a million things are racing through my mind, including what I *must* do
and my so-called right to know. Now my camera and tape recorder are in the
car; however, I also have a tape recorder hooked up to my telephone and
can record conversations.
Before I open the door, I grab the tape recorder and then talk into it as
I follow them through my house. They are looking in the closet, under the
bed and behind doors. After these two jack-booted thugs left, this white
male stated they were with Liberty Bonding and gave the address and phone
number. When I picked up my phone to call Liberty Bonding, my phone was
dead. These bastards disabled my phone before they came to my house!
Through all of this, I had a feeling of helplessness-like who can I call?
I sure was not going to call the police on the police. I would look like
a damn fool. But I can tell you I will be calling the prosecutor's office
bright and early in the morning to find out who these damn bail bondsmen
(bounty hunters/slave-catchers) answer to. When I spoke to the kraka in
charge at Liberty Bonding, his response was, "They were doing their
job!!" As Mumia has just stated!!
Brotha Sauti believes it's the prosecutor's office, so that's where I will
start in the morning. Don't get me wrong; this has nothing to do with the
wrong my son has committed. He has chosen to do this type of dumb stuff.
I have explained to him there are rules and regulations that you have to
go by all your life. If not, there is a price to pay. But he has *never*
been the one to take responsibility for his actions. Like I told him, "What
I couldn't teach you, these jack booted thugs will." My point is the
way this knee-grow came with his he-going-to-kick-my-door-in-if-I-didn't-open-it.
I mean he came with an attitude!
Liberty Bonding picked the right target, because I do not roll over and
play dead with krakas or their lackey knee-grows. They always send the knee-grow.
The cops came about two years ago and surrounded my house and took my son
and tried to plant crack on him because I was a target of the Kansas City
police department for exposing these two cops that were terrorizing our
community. Sistas and brothas from the hood would call in and talk about
their experience with these two cops, so the cops wanted me bad.
They always target your children. In this earlier incident my son was *innocent*
and the sky was the limit. I was not going to let those two cops get away
with that. I remember how helpless I felt when I saw all those cops surrounding
my house, guns drawn, the whole nine yards. But when the whole incident
was over, I had knowledge of how the system works, along with the guidance
of a jailhouse lawyer.
There are lessons to learn from these live experiences. People need to find
out the regulations in their particular state that govern these bounty hunters/slave-catchers,
because there are very few laws that govern them. In some states they are
outlawed.
