Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 - August 22, 1989) was a Statesian revolutionary, communist, Black liberation theorist, and co-founder of the Black Panther Party (BPP). Together with Bobby Seale, Newton founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Oakland, California, in October 1966. Newton served as the organization's Minister of Defense and became one of the most prominent figures of the Black Power movement.^[1]

The Black Panther Party combined armed self-defense against police violence with socialist political education and an extensive network of community survival programs, including free breakfasts, health clinics, food distribution, transportation assistance, legal aid, education, and sickle-cell anemia testing.^[2]

Police Brutality and its Relation to Settler-Colonialism in Canada by AwesomeSheep48

If we are to understand the role that capitalism plays in the settler-colonialism that Canada is founded on, and how that relation perpetrates the racism which allows this extreme form of police brutality to exist relatively unhindered in our society, we must first understand why a state forms and who it serves. As Lenin wrote in The State and Revolution, “The state is a product and a manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms. The state arises where, when and insofar as class antagonism objectively cannot be reconciled”, from this we can understand that as long as we have capitalism as our dominate mode of production, the interests of those who the state protects will always be at odds with the interests of the vast majority of the population in that state. Since these class antagonisms cannot be rectified as the interests of the class are opposed to one another, the state creates “bodies of armed men” in order to enforce the will of the ruling class through force onto the oppressed class; it is from this reality where police brutality takes root. With this definition in mind, we can begin to explore police brutality against Indigenous peoples in both a modern and historical context.
