“'His paid vacation is over. But we are not satisfied, we will not rest until he is terminated and never allowed to be a law enforcement officer again anywhere in this nation,' the attorney said. 'As far as due process, Aderrien Murry would have appreciated due process because he was almost executed by Greg Capers. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.'"

It's clear that there's a culture in police departments (& society generally) that rewards Black employees for anti-Black discriminatory behavior. This cop has a history of brutality (presumably focused on Black civilians); he went too far this time. #JusticeForAderrienMurry

This child called the #police for help and they shot him.

Even though he was in an unsafe situation, he was safer without the very people we citiziens entrust with our safety.

The man who shot Aderrien needs to be charged with something far more severe than attempted murder.

And this entire police force needs to be fired. No trace of the culture that led to this can remain.

The #NAACP would do well to issue a warning to the Black community regarding the very real dangers of calling the police while Black.
