Subject: FW: Cop Killer
Friends, At the recent National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)
conference in Alabama, the delegation in attendance voted unanimously to begin
a boycott of persons, products and companies associated with the supporting of
convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
In case you don't know, this man was convicted in the 1981 killing of Philadelphia
Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. The act was an especially brutal and sadistic
murder that still haunts the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Faulkner.
(The New York Shields presented Officer Faulkner's family with a Medal of Valor
at their Police Memorial Breakfast).
Convict Abu-Jamal has written a book, "Live from Death Row,"
and attempted to place himself in a celebrity status as a result of his criminal
behavior. Others have supported his pathetic attempt to gain stardom and
freedom, all the while spitting in the face of Officer Faulkner, his family and every
single law enforcement officer in the United States.
The F.O.P. has announced the formal boycotting of the following:
1. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Products who are donators to a defense fund for the
killer.
2. Actor Paul Newman, an outspoken supporter of the killer.
3. Actress Susan Sarandon, another supporter of the killer.
4. Filmmakers Spike Lee, Oliver Stone and John Landis, supporters of the killer.
5. Writers Norman Mailer and Joyce Carol Oates, supporters of the killer.
6. Super model Naomi Campbell, supporter of the killer.
7. Musicians Sting, David Byrne and Michael Stipe of REM, supporters of the
killer.
As you also may not know, a tape recorded statement made by the killer was
played at the graduation commencement ceremony of Evergreen State College in
the state of Washington in June 1999. This resulted in over 800 graduates
walking out and another two dozen turning their backs during the killer's 13
minute diatribe of hate.
The F.O.P.'s position is getting widespread coverage in the media, as well it
should. The members of the New York Shields stand with our fellow brothers
across this country in strongly supporting this boycott and honoring the memory
of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner.
We urge you to participate in this boycott and request that you pass this e-mail on
to your coworkers, partners, family and friends.
We must stand together against this brutal murderer.
Please do your part and pass this important message along to your friends. Call
your local grocer and tell them about Ben & Jerry's support of a cop killer. Do
your part, please. You can make a difference.

years and Chosen Few member, Rick Guyer.
