	Case Story
	Multiple Arrests Made In BLA Takedown
	Three decades after members of the Black Liberation Army stormed the Ingleside police station in San Francisco and killed a sergeant, historic arrests have been made in the case. In the early morning hours of January 23, 2007, multi-agency task forces across the country brought down most of the members police say were involved in the Ingleside attack. Suspected BLA members were arrested in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Panama City, Florida. Six arrests were made and two men who were already serving time in a New York state prison were charged. While police and the FBI are calling the raids that occured almost simultaneously in three states a massive victory, the manhunt continues for one man -- suspected getaway driver Ronald Bridgeforth.

	Terror By The Bay
	San Francisco in the late 1960's and early 1970's was a cultural hotbed for social expression. Some believed that there was a new age dawning amidst the anti-war rallies and civil rights activism. However, authorities tell AMW that in 1971 the racial tension and anti-establishment fervor made the city a battleground between cops and a militant faction of the Black Panthers known as the Black Liberation Army. Police say that in less than 20 months, six cops were killed in the line of duty as the result of an alleged conspiracy to assassinate police officers. But one of the darkest days in this war between cops and radicals was Sunday, August 29, 1971. The scene at the Ingleside police station was peaceful ... until reports started coming in about a bombing at a nearby bank drive-up window. Many officers were dispatched to the scene, but Sergeant John Young stayed behind to monitor the station. Thirty minutes later, police say a group of six BLA members snuck through a park adjacent to the police station. The first two attackers were armed with shotguns and entered the station's lower floor. They fired multiple rounds through a hole in a plexiglass window instantly killing Sergeant Young and wounding police clerk, Ellen Lipney. Two other BLA members tried to continue into the station but were blocked by a steel door. They unloaded round after round into the door, but eventually gave up. Only five minutes after the attackers set foot in the Ingleside station, they were making their getaway through a pre-cut hole in a nearby chain link fence. The six men escaped in two cars that were waiting on the shoulder of an adjacent freeway. Police believe one of the men was then 26-year-old Ronald Bridgeforth.

	Getaway Driver's Wherabouts Remain A Mystery
	In the days following the attacks, the SFPD and local newspapers received four notes. The letters claimed responsibility for the attacks and were signed "The George Jackson Assault Squad of the Black Liberation Army." The BLA claimed that the attack was a retaliatory measure for the death of George Jackson, who died on August 21, 1971 in an attempted San Quentin prison break. A year after the Ingleside attack, a BLA member in custody gave a jailhouse interview saying that the attack was one of a four-strike offensive designed to shake the community of San Francisco. Before the Ingleside attacks, Ronald Bridgeforth had an outstanding warrant from a 1969 incident involving a felony assault on a San Francisco police officer. Cops say that in the years following the attack on the Ingleside station, Bridgeforth fled to New Orleans with his common law wife, Jule Ann Small and their son, Archimu. The child was born sometime in 1973 and would be 33 today. Neither Bridgeforth nor Small have been seen since the 1970s. Bridgeforth was last physically described as being very overweight, bald, and having a full beard. Both he and Small wear contact lenses. Police say that Bridgeforth's work history had an emphasis on teaching and that he had once attempted to be a Presbyterian Minister. He also worked for a variety of community organizations ranging from voter registration to summer programs for children. Cops believe that he may have used these skills to find work while on the lam. Police believe that in addition to utilizing a number of aliases to stay one step ahead of the law, Bridgeforth has also traveled to Algeria, Guinea, Morocco, Ghana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. In addition to Ronald Bridgeforth, police are also trying to identify an unknown, white female who entered Ingleside station prior to the attack and may have given BLA members a signal to attack. In 1971 she was described as 20-23 years old, 5'8"-5'10", 130 lbs and having a light complexion.
