"Se these gigs, these fools are insane. You see?
Ard +hey tre taking the orders, not frcm you. They took their
erders from the racists who have all the money. They + :k the
eo ders from fools like BENTON here and fools like Alict.c cut

“So we stu st to dig, let the pigs pick up the gun
anc iuw.-:* us because of what we're trying to do, to acquire our
frecdom, is more profitable to them. So they pick up the guns
for profit, and we have to pick up the gun to make it non-profitable
for them to de it, to do it to us. Make them pay.
"So 1 think that if we “ere understand all of this and
could sit right down to that, our next move is rot 10> spontaneous
rebellion. That's all the pigs want. Our next move is to work
with these brethers here to get control o the pclice and this whole
army. Now by get contrel I mean that we have to start working 24
hours a day in some way, some manner, and some form that we would
take the guns out of the hands of the police and put them in the
hands of the people. We have to make the pelice start taking
orders from the people instead of the people taking orders from
the pigs.
"So we have a very functional pr«gram for that and that
is what we call for want of a better name, ecrmunity 2
the Pigs. And how we go about this is that we take the basic
principle chat the police should live and come from the community
he works in. That way, if he busts somebody, he tries to brutalize
them, or busts somebody's child and tries tc brotalize them, then
everybody in the block will be sitting en the stoop waiting for
him to come home at night from work. He won't do that. And if he
comes from that community and he lives in that community, he
understands what.'s happening in that community, he ain't going
to let nobody sell no dope to his child. He ain't gcing to
let nobody brutalize his children. He ain't going to let nobody
opurrss his people, and damn sure nobody is going to come in
hW¥ and shoct up his famiiy.
