The Issue

There’s a very explicit video of this man being told he was going to be murdered by police officers and then him being murdered by those police officers. The way they talked to him and treated him before his death was downright abusive. You can hear the power trip in their voice. This is just another example of militarized police using their power and ability to murder without consequence. 

The officer that shot him was found not guilty of second-degree murder, but the way that this unarmed man who was guilty of exactly zero crimes was treated puts the whole situation into question.

In this country right now we have finally said enough is enough we won’t be murdered in our neighborhoods and our houses. We are done being pushed by the thumb of an authoritarian militarized police force. It is time for us to stand up and make the government work for the people to protect the people. 

WARNING: As you read the article if you decide to watch the video it is unedited, very graphic, and extremely heart wrenching.
