Family members, activists demand answers in shooting of unarmed man by HPD officer

Community activists and family members want to know how HPD can justify the shooting death of an unarmed man last week.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

After reading “The Warmth of Other Suns” this kind of violence against Black people sounds like more of the same that has happened since the first Africans were brought to Virginia in 1619.

CNN turns story of murder into a “feel good” story

I’m calling out male violence when I see it. Male violence is a huge problem in our society.

This story does no justice to the wife who was murdered. I would think she would want media to call out men on their violence?

CNN dropped the ball on this one. They turned the story upside down. Instead of talking about male aggression, they talk about how great technology is and almost make the murderer out to be a hero because his wife’s organs went to seven other people. Wow. This CNN coverage is male privilege and patriarchy at it’s worst.

The 40 Year Solitary Confinement of Herman Wallace

“The injustice of his conviction speaks volumes about how broken our criminal justice system is, but his solitary confinement says even more about who we are as a society. The freedom of Mr. Wallace and so many others still being held in such circumstances is not all that has been lost through this cruel and unusual form of punishment.”
