The Fraternal Order of Police National 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, he was convicted in the 1981 killing of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel
Faulkner under overwhelming evidence. The act was an especially brutal and sadistic murder that
still haunts the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Faulkner.

The New York Shields, a police brotherhood organization, presented Officer Faulkner's family with
a Medal of Valor at their 1999 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 (donators to a defense fund for the killer).

2. Actor Paul Newman, and his products (an outspoken supporter of the killer) as well as Danny

Glover and Ed Asner.

3. Actress Susan Sarandon (supporter of this convicted 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).

8. The Backstreet Boys who are performing "free" benefit concerts for the killer's defense fund.
As a side note, one of their "benefit concerts" scheduled for Baltimore , MD had to be canceled when Baltimore police officers refused to work the overtime shifts for site security at the concert.

As you may not know, a tape recorded statement made by this heinous convicted killer, was played at the spring graduation commencement ceremony at Evergreen State College, in the state of Washington (June
1999.) This resulted in over 800 graduates walking out and another two dozen turning their backs during the killer's three 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 slain Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner.

aaa

[LostInAustin]

What the heck is the rationale behind these people who support a cop killer? From what I have read, the trial had some irregularities but there still was overwhelming evidence to support his conviction.

Are they just a bunch of conspiracy theorists? What gives!?

[citcop]

It looks like I have some more names to add to my sig.....

[Hop]

Well count me in, but I have to say... If the Backstreet boys are the best chance at hope for this guy to raise money for his defense fund... He may be good as lost;)

[RT302]

It's funny that a lot of the people on that list, I already dislike for trying to impress their outspoken political/ societal views on society. Now I have yet another reason...;)

"hey, hey, look at me, I'm a big name movie star and I know more about EVERYTHING because I get paid to act like I know what I am doing!"

[madsnax]

I haven't looked into it much, but there are people that would bet their house that Mumia didn't do it - that he was accused of it because he was a vocal activist.

Conspiracy theorists? Probably.

[DetSarg1]

What is the reason these ultra-liberals are giving for supporting this murder?

I know, I know, they are all a bunch of left wing, tree hugging hippies, blah blah blah, but what is their justification when asked why they support this guy?

[O'Gee]

Well im not a very violent person but this just makes my blood boil. I would def. have a few words with all of these people.

It wouldn't do any good. These type people are like the kids doing Goth and crap, they're just probing for attention and trying to talk to them would be about as effective as having Bush lead our troops in a war!

[Citicop]

The boycott has been around for a while...that list goes back to 1999 (explaining why it is a bit out of date).

Citicop.

[Mikey Glockster]

really? No more Ben & Jerry's? aww crap.

[Aussie George]

I would like to contribute to raise funds for this man.

Where can I buy front row seat tickets to his execution???

[Firestorm]

Why are they supporting him to begin with? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. And now he's written a book? Who is he trying to be? Hitler?
