LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, today charged Los Angeles black leaders with attempting to incite another L.A. riot. This week, black leaders have sponsored marches with protesters holding signs with messages such as "death to pigs." Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) is urging the community to "demand justice." She said the incident "was reminiscent of the Rodney King beating." John Mack, president of the Los Angeles Urban League, said of the shooting, "We have a pattern here where some police officers don't value the lives of young African American males." On a local radio program, Mack also said, "Heads should roll on this one."
Rev. Peterson said: "Blacks should be outraged by the irresponsible actions of black criminals, Maxine 'No Justice-No Peace' Waters, John Mack and black ministers-not at police. The police officers are not the problem. The corrupt black leadership and irresponsible black parents are the problem."See the full content of this document
