Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement (2006)

Program Info
"The same people who tried to kill me in 1973 are the same people who are here
today, trying to destroy me. I mean it literally. I mean there were people from
the forces of the San Francisco Police Department who participated in harrassment,
torture and my interrogation in 1973
...none of these people have ever been brought to trial. None of these people
have ever been charged with anything. None of these people have ever been
questioned about that."
-John Bowman, former Black Panther, passed away December 2006

In 2005 several former members of the Black Panther Party were held in contempt
and jailed for refusing to testify before a Sanc Francisco Grand Jury
investigating a police shooting that took place in 1971. The government alleged
that Black radical groups were involved in the 34-year old case in which two men
armed with shotguns attacked the Ingleside Police Station resulting in the death
of a police sergeant and the injuring of a civilian clerk.

In 1973, 13 alleged "Black militants" were arrested in New Orleans, purportedly
in connection with the San Francisco events. Some of them were tortured for
several days by law enforcement authorities, in striking similarity to the
horrors visited upon detainees in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.

In 1975, a Federal Court in San Francisco threw out all of the evidence obtained
in New Orleans.

The two lead San Francisco Police Department investigators from over 30 years
ago, along with FBI agents, have re-opened the case. Rather than submit to
proceedings they felt were abusive of the law and the Constitution, five men
chose to stand in contempt of court and were sent to jail. They were released
when the Grand Jury term expired, but have been told by prosecutors that "ït
isn't over yet."
