Justice for Kionte Spencer

The Issue

Kionte Spencer was an 18 year-old senior in high school and resident of Roanoke County, VA. Kionte was shot and killed by Roanoke County Police on February 26, 2016 while walking by a busy street near where he lived (88% white). Roanoke County Police spun the narrative to win public attention, which grossly resulted into sweeping a murder case "under the rug". Roanoke County Police informed Kionte Spencer had a broken BB gun - TO DATE, NO TOY GUN HAS BEEN RECOVERED. Everyone who saw Kionte that day inform he had his headphones on and CELL PHONE in his HAND. Despite public outcry for JUSTICE for Kionte:

1. Roanoke County Police will not release the video footage

2. BIASLY investigated themselves

3. Closed the case

4. Claimed no wrong doing

DEMANDS:

-An outside, unbiased investigation

-An outside, transparent investigation

-The release of police video and audio footage

-The release of the involved police officers names

-The absolute Truth, no matter what it reveals
