Political hip hop artists/activists from group Rebel Diaz were brutalized by the NYPD for doing a copwatch by cell phone-videotaping a street vendor being harassed by the cops.
Davey D puts what happened to these brothers in the larger context of police brutality in working class communities of color. Check out the link to his article above, it's from the brothers at SleptOn.com
And, as if that wasn't enough...
It turns out the NYPD wasn't satisfied w/ beating on these brothers... They decided to show up at their home yesterday and raid their shit w/GUNS DRAWN & NO SEARCH WARRANT

This story is just unbelievable. I wrote up an article regarding the way the NYPD has been treating this very talented group, linked below.
Can't wait for the new record to drop!
