#NewJersey's Supreme Court voted to grant parole to a former member of the #BlackLiberationArmy convicted of killing a state trooper alongside infamous exile #AssataShakur in 1973 - despite outcry from the governor and local police. #SundiataAcoli, 85, had several parole bids previously rejected but his attorneys argued he'd been a model prisoner for nearly three decades and has counseled other inmates. Today's Supreme Court decision overrules the state parole board whcih contended that Acoli is still a risk to commit future crimes and hasn't taken full responsibility for Trooper Werner Foerster´s death. Acoli's more-famous co-defendant, Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata #Shakur, was convicted and sentenced to a life term but escaped from a New #Jersey prison in 1979. Shakur was given asylum in #Cuba by then-President Fidel Castro and remains a fugitive. She was also famously a 'godmother' to the late rapper #TupacShakur through her friendship with his mother. In a statement, New Jersey's progressive Democrat Governor Phil Murphy said he was 'deeply disappointed' by the ruling. State Attorney General and Murphy appointee Matthew Platkin said in a statement, 'I am grateful to the attorneys in my office who opposed the release of Sundiata Acoli and I am disappointed that he will be released on parole.' Colonel Patrick Callahan, the current head of New Jersey's State Police, wrote on Facebook that he spoke with Foerster's widow Rosa when the news came in. '[She] is as devastated and disappointed by this decision as I am,' Callahan wrote. 'Acoli's release is not only an injustice for the Foerster family and the men and women who serve within the New Jersey State Police, but to every law enforcement officer in this country who dedicates their lives for the safety of the citizens we are sworn to protect.' In Tuesday's 3-2 ruling with Chief Justice Stuart Rabner not participating, the court held that the state parole board didn't meet its required burden of demonstrating there was a substantial likelihood of Acoli committing another crime. #Tupac #AfeniShakur #WonderWombman @wonderwombman @wonderwombman2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdcGI8FuE4T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Assata Olugbala Shakur (born JoAnne Deborah Byron; July 16, 1947;) is an American political activist and writer. Assata ("she who struggles") Shakur ("the thankful one") Assata Olugbala Shakur was born in New York and given the birth name JoAnee Deborah Byron. Her married name was Joanne Chesimard. Assata Shakur was a member of the Black Panther Party who went underground to evade police repression, joining the Black Liberation Army. In the late 1960s, Shakur became involved with the Black Panther Party and her political problems began. Between 1973 and 1977, Shakur was indicted 10 times and stood trial for two bank robberies, the kidnapping of a drug dealer, attempted murder of several police officers, and the murder of a New Jersey state trooper. In 1973, on the New Jersey Turnpike, state troopers stopped Shakur, Malik Zayad Shakur, and Sundiata Acoli, two of her friends, because of a shattered headlight. The trooper said they were "suspicious" because they had Vermont license plates. Shots were fired. Not much is known about who did what, but in the end, state trooper Werner Foerster and Malik Shakur were killed. Shakur and Sundiata were charged with the death of Foerster. She spent six and a half years in prison. Their trial had many flaws, including racial injustice by the jury and admitted perjury by the trial's star witness. The God mother of Tupac Shakur, she escaped from prison in 1979 and fled the country. #AssataShakur #BlackHistory #BlackHerstory https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0uwHZL201/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#morepowertothereader ✊🏾 Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ As we prepare to make this 8th lap 'round the calendar year, we'd like to take a moment to invite you to become acquainted with #BLACKAUGUST. As we elevate the quest towards #unity, #selfsacrifice, #politicaleducation, #physicalfitness, and #resistance, we'd like to express #sentimentsofsankofa by going back to the political firestorms of the 60s to spark #thefirethistime. As we #timetravel #throughthelens of #literature, we'd like to bring forth the notion of #READINGasaREVOLUTIONaryact. For #itwaswritten, books by the #SoledadBrothers, #AngelaDavis, #AssataShakur, #HueyPNewton, and countless #FreedomFighters provide the blueprint for us. As we continue to read books like #BLOODINMYEYE in the wake of #socialunrest, we'd like to take a moment to remind thee that #freedom is first birthed in the mind. -Stevie #scribesandvibes • #bookscomeinallcolors • #weallneeddifferentbookstolove ・・・ #vibewise: #READINGisaREVOLUTIONaryact #FREEYOURMIND #shopscribesandvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgvt-S9AI0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i believe in living i believe in birth. i believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth And i believe that a lost ship, steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port. انا اؤمن بالعيش انا اؤمن بالولادة. انا اؤمن بعرق الحب وفي نار الحقيقة واعتقد ان سفينة ضائعة، بحار البحر متعب، بحار البحر، لا يزال بامكان توجيه المنزل الى الميناء. - Assata Shakur 🙌🇵🇸✊ #resistance #assatashakur #justice #palestine #intersectionalfeminism #gaza #palestineunderattack #gazaunderattack (at Gaza City مدينة غزة) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd-yNtvOBF6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
