The same chief was caught on video putting a KKK sign on a Black officer’s jacket last year. In the discrimination complaint, police officer AJ Torres says his former boss, then-Sheffield Lake Police Chief Anthony Campo, regularly targeted him for both his race and his religious beliefs before he retired a year ago. During a press conference with his attorneys Tuesday, Torres explained that Campo photoshopped his head wearing a sombrero onto a bottle of Mexican hot sauce and posted it on the department’s bulletin board. Another time, Campo drew a speech bubble on a photo of Torres standing with two children implying that he was a pedophile, the complaint alleges. According to the charge of discrimination Torres filed against Campo, when Torres was hired part-time in 2013, the city agreed to give him Sundays off so he could observe the Sabbath and continue his charity work with the Open Hearts Foundation, where he gives children ride-alongs in a police cruiser. The agreement also allowed him to take his annual mission trip to El Salvador with his church.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.

On this day, 26 June 1967, rioting broke out in Buffalo, New York, after police violently assaulted two young Black boys. A crowd of 200 to 350 began attacking stores, and fought police when they arrived. Over the coming days, the crowds would grow, as would the police repression. By the time police managed to suppress the rebellion on July 1, 14 people had been shot and around 30 more injured. It was part of a wave of similar riots across over 100 cities in what was known as the “Long Hot Summer of 1967” as anger at racist police violence and deteriorating economic conditions for Black people in the northern US boiled over.
In the wake of the rebellions, some young Black people decided to take the struggle forwards in their workplaces, like those who formed the League of Revolutionary Black Workers in Detroit.
