The other deaths currently being investigated include 27-year old Stephon Averyhart, who was shot in the forehead by police who suspected he was armed back in February; 30-year-old Christopher Jones, who was shot in the heart during a struggle with an unnamed officer in July; 25-year-old Kajieme Powell, whose death at the hands of police and his erratic nature pre-shooting sparked a debate about the moral justification of deadly force in August (video above); and the aforementioned Myers, who officers claim shot at them three times but then they retaliated by shooting at Meyers 17 times.

To be clear

 

  • This girl is dead because the police thought it would be a good idea to burst into a FAMILY home with a flash-bang and guns blazing.
  • The police thought it was a good idea to burst into a BLACK FAMILY’s home with A&E film crew to document the criminality of a BLACK family member.
  • What happened is that the WHITE police officer has shown himself to the the OPPRESSOR that he is.
  • The whole damn SYSTEM has shown itself to be the Oppressive New Jim Crow system that it is.
  • Add to the list of the four little precious Black girls killed in Birmingham Alabama, another precious little Black girl – Aiyana Stanley-Jones killed by a racist society.

March planned on anniversary of Nogales teen’s shooting

 

Araceli Rodríguez is learning how to live without her son.

“I think the pain will never go away. I will always be without a piece of life, of my heart,” she said. “But I have three other children for whom I have to live for.”

It’s been nearly two years since 16-year-old José Antonio Elena Rodríguez was shot by a Border Patrol agent who fired through the fence in Nogales, down a steep hill and across the street on the Mexican side. The teen was hit more than 10 times in the back and head.

I see the doctrine of White Supremacy in the lack of diversity in white communities.

 

It goes so far as many White people do not even have a virtual friend of color (on social media).

 

And if you ask a white person who their favorite author of color is how many will have an answer?

 

These are serious problems America.
