Chicago Police Shot and Killed Another Unarmed Black Teenager in The Back Then Stomped On Body and ‘High-Fived’

“Bitch-ass motherfucker, fucking shoot at us,” a Chicago police officer told the bloodied, dying body of Paul O’Neal, an 18-year-old black man who was, to be clear, unarmed when officers shot and killed him on July 28.

It’s not clear exactly what happened at the moment of the shooting — once again, it seems like the shooting police officers’ body cameras fell or malfunctioned. But thankfully Chicago just decided to release some of the footage, and it’s graphic. (WARNING: WATCH WITH CAUTION)

I’m gonna pray for her and share all this info because we have to get her out of there or they’re going to kill her and I’m not even trying to be extra but I swear if we don’t get her out then she’s going to be found dead in her cell.

I’m so tired of y’all trying to justify cops who shot #KorrynGaines. I’m tired of y’all not listening.

Korryn Gaines was NOT using her child as a shield.

She was scared to lose him. She was trying to protect him. Because cops don’t care if the victim is 5, 23 or 50 years old just as long as they are Black.

How come a SWAT team in bullet proof vests couldn’t disarm a tiny woman without killing her when they successfully managed to disarm this guy ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THIS GUY ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THESE GUYS  ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

There are plenty more examples and guess what’s one common thing about them?

THE COLOR OF THEIR DAMN SKIN.

Korryn Gaines shouldn’t have been unarmed for you to #SayHerName if you consider yourself pro Black.

You can’t be pro Black if you’re trying to justify the oppressive force!

On this day last year 23-year-old Korryn Gaines was killed by Baltimore County police and her 5-year-old son was shot in the limb.

She was wanted for a traffic violation, but apparently a SWAT team thought she was way too dangerous for them to try and arrest her without fatally shooting her.

I still think about Korryn a lot.

The boy, Rashad Wells, of the 6900 block of South Harvard Avenue, was pronounced dead on the scene, his family said that he was shot 12 times and police officers never let them see the body.  

I’m stuck on the fact that it was an off duty officer. And this information about Rashad being shot 12 times is just so crazy. Even though an officer could think this kid was a suspect- how do you shoot someone 12 times without being sure about it? The deputy was not harmed and moreover there was no information about Rashad threatening him in any way, yet we have another dead black teen. 

He was OFF DUTY. He wasn’t working. HE WAS KILLING. This is why “Blue lives” don’t exist. You weren’t “blue” when you clocked out and shot Rashad. Fucking murderer is what he is.

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?

The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.

I’m absolutely disgusted.

Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.

Unarmed 15-year-old boy shot in the head by Balch Springs police officer.

15-year-old Jordan Edwards and his friends were leaving a party at approximately 11PM on Saturday after hearing gunshots. A police officer, whose name has not been released yet, shot through the passenger side window of the vehicle, in which Edwards and his friends were traveling, and struck the boy in the head. The officers were reportedly responding to a call of drunk teenagers. The Edwards family’s legal counsel S. Lee Merritt says  Edwards and his friends were NOT the intoxicated teens that police officers were allegedly called to control.

The police officer who shot Edwards was placed on paid leave.

Police claim the vehicle Edwards was in backed toward officers “in an aggressive manner.”

Another innocent Black child was shot by a trigger-happy cop. Another family is in pain..

Jordan was a freshman at Mesquite High School, he loved to play football and was a straight A student.

Rest in peace baby boy…

The Walter Scott mistrial shows it’s apparently OK to kill black people on camera

Who killed Walter Scott? Apparently, we’re not really sure. That’s according to a jury in Charleston, South Carolina, which was unable to reach a reach a verdict Monday in the murder trial of Michael Slager.

Of course, the jury has its reasons — apparently one juror, identified only as a 50-year-old male in press reports, said he “cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict.” Slager may still wind up being put on trial again.

But the takeaway for black people whose daily encounters with police end in harassment, violence or death, is simple: Our lives don’t matter, even when they’re being taken in front of millions of viewers. Read more
