Nervous cop : [Panthers approach Oakland Cops beating a man outside a night club with a large crowd observing] So uh Huey, So what's your telephone number?
Huey Newton : I confirmed with you my address that's all I'm required by California law, we ain't broken no laws!
Nervous cop : Then what are you doing with that gun?
Huey Newton : Well what are you doing with yours?
Nervous cop : Let me see that rifle son!
Huey Newton : No! This is my private property! According to California Law, we have a constitutional right to bear arms!
Grove Street cop : [to Crowd intrigued by Panthers] Move Along, go about your business
Huey Newton : Wait Wait Wait, Brothers and Sisters, No, you ain't gotta go nowhere, this is your business, stay right here! The law states as long as you are standing a reasonable distance, that's eight to ten feet to be exact, you have the right to observe the police carrying out their duties, and from what I can see, you are standing twenty two feet away from this man! So Brothers ain't no law being broken!
Bobby Seale : That's right, you stay right where you are, you ain't got to go nowhere!
Nervous cop : Is that gun loaded BOY?
Huey Newton : Fish and Game law clearly states it is unlawful to carry a live round of ammunition in a chamber of a shotgun or rifle in a vehicle PIG!
Grove Street cop : [Angrily, as crowd cheers on Panthers] Refer to him as OFFICER!
Bobby Seale : Then don't you refer to him as BOY!
Nervous cop : Well, is it loaded?
Huey Newton : I'd tell you Officer it wasn't, but now it is!
[Panthers cock guns and approach officers with crowd cheering]
Nervous cop : Now for the last time boy, what do those guns mean?
Huey Newton : They mean PIG that the Black Panther Party declares you try to brutalize our community, you try to take our weapons, we'll shoot you!
[Police look around and then retreat to Patrol Cars as crowd cheers on Panthers]
