Since 1995, the cops have killed 15 Black men, and not a single white person. But nothing has changed. In fact the attacks have intensified. The police refused to make any official statement but, meanwhile, they leaked their unbelievable justifications to the media. They claimed that Officer Stephen Roach had recognized Timothy as someone with outstanding warrants, and chased him for blocks.
Every detail here is typical police justification for cold-blooded murder.
Timothy was unarmed. And now, no one will ever hear from him what really happened. Timothy's warrants were all misdemeanors, overwhelmingly traffic violations for offenses. Anti-Racist Action, the Black United Front, the New Black Panther Party and other organizations. It started being angry at the results they were getting.
