Dregs One’s ‘Wake Up Report on Police Brutality’ features Fly Benzo
Dregs One delivers in-depth commentary on police brutality and how it is affecting communities of color
by Crystal Carter
San Francisco – Oscar Grant. Kenneth Harding. Trayvon Martin. These are just a few names of young Black men who have yet to receive justice in the criminal justice system. Dregs One addresses the issue of police brutality and the abuses of power that have been committed by police and the justice system in the Bay Area and beyond.
“We need to analyze the system and find ways to deal with crime and attack the issues that cause crime instead of attacking the people that live in areas where these crimes happen,” says Dregs One.
Acts of police brutality are not isolated events. They are part of a larger epidemic dealing with race issues and misinformation on the part of the aggressors.

This isd by design,they harras political activist, especially the leader and some times kill them-MLK ,Malcolm just to name a couple. This is a tactic employed in all police states in a futile attempt to silence the voices of the people.It's a failed policy no doubt as a Prussian general once said armys can defeat armies but they cannot defeat a peoples. Yet the genocidal rergimes continue to practice their secret police tasctics in a futile attempt to breal the will of the people, the truth I say is like a blade of grass it willpermeate concrete and return iron to itls natural state. Lets wake up and smell reality.
