Rebel Diaz members attacked by police

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
