Patrick Lyoya should still be alive. There are countless Black people who have died at the hands of police, who should be alive. Black people continue to lose their lives while the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act sits in the Senate. Sympathy is not enough.

I am mourning the life of Patrick Lyoya. A 26 year old Congolese refugee, a first born son, and a generous friend to many. He fled violence at home only to face state-sanctioned murder at the hands of US law enforcement.

A traffic stop should not be a death sentence.

Period.

Can’t stop thinking about Patrick Lyoya’s father talking about how he brought his son from the DRC to live a better life here and now wishes that he hadn’t.

He said: “I thought it was a safe place, but it seems like we are in danger even when we come here.”

Horrifying. This looks like an execution. White police officer in Grand Rapids Michigan shoots 26-year old Patrick Lyoya in back of head while laying on top Lyoya following a traffic stop. The officer is on paid leave w/ police powers suspended but should be in jail.

A Black man killed. A family robbed of a life. Another indictment of an unjust system.

I’m holding Patrick Lyoya’s family in prayer. There can be no justice, but there must be accountability.

Patrick Lyoya’s father, Peter Lyoya, demands action following the fatal April 4th police shooting of his son:

Reminder that every day qualified immunity stands is another day that racism in policing is protected in this country.

I’m working on a story about Frederick Holder, an unarmed Black father killed by LASD sheriff’s deputies in a barrage of gunfire during a traffic stop that turned into a pursuit. Deputies say they thought he had a gun.

He had a lighter.
