Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez
Thursday, Oct. 22nd, 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Remember Andy Lopez at a picket line in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, at a rosary and at a potluck.
Two years after the killing of Andy Lopez by Deputy Erik Gelhaus, we are still waiting for justice. On the 2nd anniversary of his death, you can honor Andy’s memory in several ways.
At 4:00 p.m. we will be picketing in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, 2796 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa.
Since Andy’s killing there have been many more deaths and continuing violence and torture at the county jail. This is what happens when public officials are allowed to get away with murder.
At 7:00 p.m. there will be a rosary for Andy at Andy’s Park (Moorland and West Robles). This is a moving and loving tribute to Andy…

On July 12, 2015, Paul Castaway was shot and killed by Denver police while holding a knife to his own throat. The police initially claimed that Castaway, a mentally ill Indigenous man, had charged at them with a knife after stabbing his own mother in the neck. Surveillance footage would later contradict those claims and support the accounts of Castaway’s family and other witnesses, who have maintained that Castaway menaced no one but himself with the knife in his hand, and never charged police.
Police later amended their version of events, acknowledging that Castaway never attacked his mother.
Castaway’s death, the dishonesty of officials and the local prosecutor’s refusal to press charges are not, in and of themselves, extraordinary circumstances. Native people in the United States are statistically more likely to be killed by police than people of any other ethnic group, and mentally ill people are frequently on the receiving end of police violence. The refusal of the Denver district attorney’s office to press charges against police accused of an unlawful shooting – a tradition that the city has upheld since 1993 – is also a common occurrence in the United States. But in Castaway’s case, something unusual did occur: a surge of public awareness.

San Diego: Today, September 28, marks 3 years since U.S. Border Patrol Agent Justin Tackett shot and killed Valeria Munique Tachiquin in the City of Chula Vista, a San Diego suburb. Valeria Munique was a 32-year-old mother of five and a US citizen who was killed by a federal agent with a history of civil and human rights violations at his previous career as an Imperial County sheriff’s deputy. In a termination letter issued by Imperial County Sheriff’s Department Chief Sharon Housouer, Tackett was described as a deputy who could not be “trusted with a badge or a gun,” yet the Border Patrol hired Tackett. He ended up killing Valeria who was not the subject of the search warrant being served that day.
