#Emeryville March For #YuvetteHendersen 2
Channel: KPFAstream
Date: 22/02/2015

On Tuesday, February 3, 38 year-old mother of two Yuvette Henderson was gunned down by the Emeryville Police Department.

Her crime? Allegedly shoplifting from Home Depot.

She was chased down, cornered and gunned down by the police who executed her utilizing a hand gun, a shot gun and a military-style assault rifle in broad daylight in a residential area.

Just a week prior, a white man pulled a gun on OPD and was taken into custody ... alive.

Join us for a speak out/rally at the Emeryville Police Department at 10:00 am and then a MARCH FOR YUVETTE.

The Campaign to Date:
APTP initiated an immediate response to Yuvette’s murder in the form of a vigil that took place the night she was killed. APTP also conducted a people's investigation during which many people countered the police department's claims that Yuvette was carrying a gun.

Even in the first interview, when the police were asked if she had a gun, they responded with "We got a report that the suspect had a gun." A gun was not found on her person but in the vicinity. The police also note that they remembered to turn their body cameras on AFTER the murder.

The following Tuesday, APTP led a small group to deliver letters to the Oakland Police Department, the Emeryville Police Department, Home Depot, Sports Authority and Extra Space Storage. The letters asked the businesses for their accounting of the day’s event and for access to the video tapes that must have captured the shooting.

APTP is calling for a rally and march on Saturday, February 21st at 10:00 AM.

Our Demands Include

- Release of the video tapes that show the shooting of Yuvette Henderson
- Leave without pay for the officers involved while they are being investigated and ultimately their termination from EPD
- The immediate return or destruction of all military styled weapons and accessories by OPD and EPD
- An explanation for what happen to Yuvette inside of the Home Depot and why she never saw the paramedics
