An excellent source of education and background on the SF 8 case produced by The Freedom Archives in 2006. This 28-minute film sets the historical context for the SF 8 case and serves as an organizing tool against grand juries and state repression.
In 2005 several former members of the Black Panther Party were held in contempt and jailed for refusing to testify before a San Francisco Grand Jury investigating a police shooting that took place in 1971. The government alleged that Black radical groups were involved in the 34-year old case in which two men armed with shotguns attacked the Ingleside Police Station, resulting in the death of a police sergeant and the injuring of a civilian clerk. In 1973, thirteen alleged “Black militants” were arrested in New Orleans, purportedly in connection with the San Francisco events. Some of them were tortured for several days by law enforcement authorities, and in 1975, a Federal Court in San Francisco threw out all of the evidence obtained in New Orleans.
