A VERY EARLY AND RARE MIMEOGRAPHED

BY HUEY NEWTON

on the occasion of the San

Francisco Police Department knocking down

the door of Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver’s

apartment without benefit of a warrant.

Newton cites the Valentine’s Day Massacre

when members of a Chicago gang, dressed as

policemen, wiped out an entire rival gang. “We

draw the line at the threshold of our doors. It is

therefore mandated as a general order to all

members of the Black Panther Party for Self

Defense that all members must acquire the

technical equipment to defend their homes and

their dependants and shall do so. Any member

of the party having such technical equipment

who fails to defend his threshold shall be

expelled from the Party for life.”
