It is no crime to protest against warmongers.
It is no crime to complain about police brutality.
It is no crime to complain about dangerous medical malpractice.
Dr. Catherine Wilkerson will fight back. Will you stand with her?

The Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality

THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT GIVEN IN SUPPORT OF DR. CATHERINE WILKERSON
Released by The Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality on May 1, 2007
 

It's unfortunate when a medical professional can't intervene in the attempt to save the life of any person who is experiencing a medical emergency.

The attack and detaining of Dr. Catherine Wilkerson is abhorrent and vicious and it reflects a growing trend o n the part of campus law enforcement officers against the people they are sworn to protect and serve.

We propose greater control and sanctions against campus law enforcement which supersedes the authority of the Board of Regents.  We urge the Regents to exercise their elected authority to penalize the Department of Public Safety and its officers when they injure employees, students or citizens.

It would have been negligent of Dr.Wilkerson to have ignored the need to assist an individual in a medical crisis.  She should have been awarded a citation and proclaimed a heroine, as opposed to facing legal sanctions.

This is just another form of police brutality and The Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality stands with Dr. Wilkerson, her defense committee and her attorney.
