Les Inrocks sont à Philadelphie, en immersion avec les Black Panthers for Self Defense, qui confrontent les forces de l’ordre pour défendre les minorités. Face aux opérations de l’ICE, à la peur qui s’installe dans certains quartiers et au durcissement du climat politique depuis le retour de Donald Trump, ce groupe, qui se revendique héritier des Black Panthers originels, patrouille dans la ville, armé, jusqu’à trois fois par jour.

Le temps d’une nuit, nous avons suivi Paul Birdsong, surnommé "Charmant", responsable de la section locale du mouvement, afin de l’accompagner en patrouille dans les rues du nord de Philadelphie.

Ces patrouilles remplissent plusieurs fonctions : protéger les habitants contre les violences policières et les interventions des agents de l’ICE, mais aussi venir en aide aux plus démunis en distribuant des vêtements et de la nourriture. Dans ce quartier particulièrement pauvre, les températures nocturnes descendent actuellement jusqu’à près de −10 °C.

Elles servent également, et surtout, à dissuader les forces de l’ordre. Les membres du groupe circulent armés — non pour attaquer, mais pour se défendre — avançant en formation, parfois jusqu’au milieu de la chaussée, afin d’affirmer leur présence et de rappeler qu’ils surveillent les agissements de la police et des agents fédéraux.

00:00Call your supervisor. Call your supervisor. Call your supervisor.
00:04On est donc partis en patrouille avec les Black Panthers de Philadelphie dans la partie nord de la ville,
00:09une partie assez pauvre dans laquelle il y a beaucoup de règlements de comptes et de drogues.
00:14Devant nous il y a le chairman, donc le boss des Black Panthers de Philadelphie.
00:18Qu'est-ce que c'est ? C'est plus grand que...
00:20C'est un AR-12.
00:21Est-ce qu'il vient ici ?
00:22Non.
00:23Non, non.
00:24Non, non.
00:25I would define my actions as human, common sense, logic.
00:30For those people who are able-bodied and armed and just sit in the house and watch from their TV screens
00:36and from their phones as people are brutalized around them, I think they're cowards.
00:40Where do you draw the red line?
00:41What do you mean, red line?
00:43Oh, if you take it there, I take it there.
00:45Or the Black Panther Party for self-defense, not offense.
00:48So if ICE attacks me, I'm going to defend myself.
00:51If you don't like that, fuck you.
00:53Et donc c'est pas true, ils ont plusieurs fonctions.
00:54La première, c'est de s'assurer que les communautés, les minorités de la ville,
00:58ne sont pas harcelées par ICE.
01:00Et donc c'est de confronter ICE, vraiment, c'est ce qu'ils nous expliquent.
01:03I see all these children walking around,
01:04and little teenagers across the street.
01:06Like, I have to teach them how to not get shot by a cop.
01:09What kind of existence is that ?
01:11On a eu plusieurs interactions avec la police de Philadelphie,
01:15donc pas ICE, mais la police locale.
01:17Don't block the highway, thank you.
01:19There ain't no highway.
01:20There ain't no highway.
01:21There ain't no highway.
01:22Tell your colleagues, get out the road then.
01:23Et à chaque fois, la police part, assez rapidement.
01:26That's the real thing.
01:27He got a bank card out the block.
01:29I see it.
01:30If I ask to speak to your supervisor, you're supposed to call him.
01:34Now I need your name and your badge number.
01:37Do you have an issue that you have?
01:38Yep, I do.
01:39I do.
01:40I want to make a complaint about you.
01:41Name and badge number.
01:42Alba, 1553.
01:43Thank you.
01:44Out of the way of the car.
01:45Out of the way of the car.
01:46Out of the way of the car.
01:47Get out of this street.
01:48We don't need you.
01:49Get out of this street.
01:50That's how you leave, all right?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Nine times out of ten, the police, like, if we approach them, they run.
01:56We're always on soldier mode, you know what I'm saying?
01:59That's what the police supposed to be doing.
02:01They be all fat and out of shape, or, you know, they be smoking weed and drinking and
02:07doing stupid shit.
02:08They be involved in prostitution and all other kind of stuff and don't think nobody know
02:12about it.
02:13We know about it.
02:14We see you.
02:15We see you parked.
02:17We see you in the alley.
02:18We see you take your body cam off and leave it in the car and go in the house and then
02:21come out and put the body cam back on.
02:23We be seeing that.
02:24The difference between us seeing it and everybody else seeing it is we'll say something
02:27to you about it.
02:28See, on a creusé des citoyens, des habitants de Philadelphie qui nous disent qu'ils
02:31soutiennent l'action des Black Panthers.
02:33All power to the people, bruv.
02:36All power to the people.
02:38All power to the people.
02:39What it means is all people having power over themselves instead of the white supremacy
02:42having power over all of us.
02:44Et voilà, donc la patrouille s'est bien passé, on a même été suivi par un drone.
02:47Comrades, get back in formation.
02:50Rule.
02:51That's a piece of metal, you know.
02:53We're not going to chase the piece of metal around, you know.
02:56My son, he's my skin tone.
02:58If ice runs up on my son and grabs my son, there will be no amount of retribution that
03:03will stop me.
03:04I won't, my anger won't go away.
03:06It just will be a certain type of indignation and a rage that if you drain the Mariana Trench
03:12of the Pacific Ocean, you still wouldn't be able to have enough room for the amount of
03:17rage I would have inside of me.
03:19Like, that's what keeps me going.
03:20That's what keeps me going.

03:23That's what keeps me going.
