Tamir Rice update | Abagond

November 22nd 2014: Tamir Rice, a Black boy playing in a park in Cleveland, Ohio with a toy airgun, is shot down by police. The police report they gave him three warnings before shooting, that Rice was in his 20s. The video shows them shooting him almost instantly. Tamir Rice is 12.

…

Police have the right to gun you down without warning if they think you have a gun and look like you are reaching for it. Even if you are 12.

 

Ohio law allows people to openly carry guns.

2 Years & Still No Justice – Oct. 22nd-Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez on the 2nd Anniversary of his Killing

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. Please bring candles.

 

Following the rosary, there will be a community potluck.

The powers-that-be are hoping that we will go away. Please come show your love for Andy and your solidarity with the community. Come say “We aren’t going anywhere until there is justice for Andy!”

 

JOIN the Event ON FACBOOK!
