From Hartford to Ferguson to L.A. people are mobilizing and demanding an end to police violence in their communities. Less than 2 weeks after the murder of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, MO. Hartford, CT police officer Shawn Ware tasered 18 year Luis Anglero, Jr. sending him to the pavement, were he hit his head and and had a violent seizure. Video and eyewitness reports clearly show there is no justification for the officers action. Luis is innocent of any crime yet he has been charged with “breach of the peace in the second” and “interfering with police”.

Cornell Lewis and Rabbi Donna Berman, executive director of Charter Oak Cultural Center called a meeting Monday to organize a response. Attendees included labor organizer Steve Thornton, Rev. Damaris Whittaker, pastor of the First Church of Christ in Hartford and representatives from Occupy Hartford, Mobilizing to Defend Our Rights and members of the Unitarian Society. A representative from Luis Anglero Jr.’s family was also in attendance and thanked the group for their support.

We invite you to gather Wednesday, Aug. 27, at Albany and Main streets in Hartford to demand:

- All charges against Luis Anglero, Jr. be dropped immediately.
– Place officer Shawn Ware under arrest for assaulting Luis
– Open the books on all protocol for using lethal and less lethal weapons, include a list of all weaponry used by the HPD
– Public hearings and community speak outs in every neighborhood to better understand the full scope of police brutality in Hartford
