p2pnet.net News:- The unarmed man shot and critically wounded by police during an apparent pirate CD bust in Penang, Malaya, wasn’t the first, says a p2pnet Reader’s Write.


The comment points out:


“There was an African merchant named Ousmane Zango (I've seen it also spelled Zongo) who was killed by New York city police May 22, 2003 when they raided a warehouse trying to crack down on pirated CDs.”


The post refers to an Associated Press story quoted in the Asheville Global Report, and runs:


“An unarmed immigrant from the African nation of Burkina Faso was shot and killed on May 22 by a plainclothes police officer guarding counterfeit merchandise down the hall. Ousmane Zango, 43, was shot four times after a chase through the hallway of a Chelsea storage facility where he repaired sculptures and drums to send money home to his family in Africa.


“Police officers has just raided two rooms while investigating a compact disk counterfeiting operation. It is unclear why the officer began to chase Zango, who had no connection to the counterfeiting operation. The officer said Zango tried to take his gun and described pushing and shoving between them. The department’s internal affairs bureau is investigating.


“The shooting brought back memories of the death of African immigrant Amadou Diallo, who was shot and killed by four white officers who said they mistook his wallet for a gun. The officers were cleared of murder and other charges in a state criminal trial in 2000, which inflamed racial tensions in New York.


“The shooting also comes a week after police mistakenly raided the apartment of a 57-year-old Harlem woman who went into cardiac arrest and died after officers detonated a flash grenade and handcuffed her. A police informant had wrongly identified Alberta Spruill’s apartment as one used by a drug dealer.”


Zango was a repairman who worked on art objects, says IndieMedia, adding that he lived in Harlem and had no criminal record.


Were the NY cops acting on information supplied by the Big Music cartel's RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) which routinely uses US national and state police as tax-payer funded record label enforcers?

And can the same question be asked of the Malaysian 'bust,' with IFPI substituted for RIAA?

That's just pathetic.

But, you know, the RIAA and their friends don't care. They are too busy worshiping the almighty dollar.

Thats what I said.

that there RIAA is tha devil
