Police Brutality Protest In Des Moines  
Chanting, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!" about 25 people rallied outside the Des Moines Police Department November 20 in the second protest in a month called by the Iowa Coalition Against Police Brutality. The speakers included Anthony Flores, whose brother David Flores, a Latino youth, was just convicted on murder charges in a police frame- up. Ardella Blandford, who was recently the Socialist Workers candidate for city council, and Rosa Leverett, mother of Charles Dudley Jr., also spoke. Dudley was killed by Des Moines cops on June 21 with four bullets in the back. Above, Anthony Flores speaks to the rally and press at October 22 protest of 50 people.
