African Americans killed by police took over the Hollywood Walk of Fame

A video was posted on social media showing the anonymous members of an anarchist group which was covering Hollywood Walk of Fame stars with the names of African Americans who have been killed by police officers.
They used adhesive to attach name plates and the groups logo to the terrazo and brass stars. The names represent African Americans who were unarmed and killed by police officers. African Americans such as Tamir Rice,  Oscar Grant, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

"We want an immediate end to this police brutality" said by Malcolm X. The video is set to Malcolm X speech which was following the 1962 fatal police shootings of the Nation of Islam officer Ronald Stokes in LA.

In the video, Malcolm X says "Someone has to pay" as someone with gloves on was holding a Freddie Gray name plate before  gluing it down on a blank star.

The ending of the video includes a hashtag saying #BlackLivesMatter

Unfortunately the plates have been removed because " The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of celebrity inductees", stated to the Washington Post by Leron Gubler. They think vandalizing a California state landmark is not a good way to project their anger towards police brutality.

Chicago Teen Killed by Police Called 911 3 Times Asking for Help And Dispatchers Hung Up on Him

Quintonio LeGrier, Chicago teen fatally shot by police, called 911 three times the day he was killed. Dispatchers hung up on him when he called asking for help. The audio of the 19-year-old's calls that were made Dec.26 were released late Monday.  LeGrier and Bettie Jones,55, were both shot. 

LeGrier's first call, made at 4:18 a.m.,was asking police officers to be sent to his address. The last call was made 3 minutes later. 

"There's an emergency, can you send an officer?" LeGrier can be heard saying on one of the calls. LeGrier didn't answer the officers questions so they hung up on him. Dispatchers asked LeGrier what was was wrong, he said," someone is ruining my life". 

So officers shouldn't question someone who's calling for help like LeGrier did obviously there was a problem and for them to hang up on him multiple times is unacceptable. Police officers ended up killing him and its called a shooting accident. If officers would of came sooner, which they should of came because it was suspicious, it wouldn't have lend to this incident happening. Officers need to be more mature and control themselves. 

Denver officers shot and killed a man on Monday, telling media he was sitting in a stolen car, a Toyota Rav 4 . Officers say he stepped out of the car with a gun. Cops fired multiple times killing 32 year old Ramone Lonergan. Days later after the shooting Lonegan's girlfriend stated that the car wasn't stolen and she let him use it. She also said he wasn't involved in fraud. Police didn't connect him to fraud they claim they were investigating the fraud of another car and he might have been the suspect.

Ramone's Girlfriend Statement Above

                 This is Cedrick Chatman and he was killed by Chicago police officers in 2013.

The death video has recently been released by an order of the judge. Cedrick
was a 17year-old African American and his case is an example of a wrongful-death lawsuit. He was reported carjacked and was shot by police officers when he ran from them on Chicago's south side. In the afternoon of January 7, 2013 two officers in plain clothes pulled up to a Dodge Charger that was reported stolen, and the officers ordered Chatman out of the car at gunpoint. Chatman ran. An officer claims he saw a grey or black object in Chatman's hand and thought it was a gun. Officer Kevin Fry shot at Chatman four times, and the object turned out to be an iphone box. Complaints were made that Officer Fry used excessive when not needed. Neither officers are charged with any wrong doing and remained on duty.
Lorenzo Davis, a former supervisor at the authority, was investigating the shooting and found it unnecessary to shoot him and he recommended that Fry should be fired. The top echelon disagreed with Davis and Davis fired him.

*Im sorry about Cedrick Chatman I wish you and your family the best.*

A 55-year-old mother ,Betty Jones,of five was accidentally shot and killed by police last month. The officer was standing in the parkway outside the woman's home, according to a lawsuit filed Monday on behalf of the woman's family. Police  released a few details about the shooting, which also killed 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, but it appears that Jones was an innocent bystander.The shooting happened at about 4:30 a.m. on the 4700 block of West Erie St.. Officers were confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon, fatally wounding two individuals, Jones and LeGrier. 
 Quintonio LeGrier was a college student who studied engineering at Northern Illinois University and was home for Christmas break. LeGriers' mother informed the Chicago Police Department that her son suffered from "mental issues". Someone that morning thought that LeGrier was threatening their life but others say you can tell he had a problem. To the family of Quintonio  LeGrier and Betty Jones I want to say I am sorry for the lost of your loved ones, I truly am. 

Baltimore: Freddie Gray

A mistrial was announced in the trial of Baltimore officers who are linked to the death of Freddie Gray, because of an undecided decision of the jury. Freddie Gray, 25 -year-old African American, was arrested on April 12, 2015 by Baltimore Police officers for possessing what the police called and illegal switchblade. While Gray was being transported by police officers in a van he fell into a coma and was taken to a trauma center. It's unclear whether or not the state will pursue a retrial of the cop, William Porter. Porter faced charges, such as second-degree assault, involuntary manslaughter, misconduct in office charges and reckless endangerment, and so has the other five officers connected to Gray's death.

Gray died from a severe spinal injury while in custody after being arrested by police. Officer Porter failed to get medical help for Gray as a transportation vehicle carrying Gray made several stops in Baltimore after picking him up on the way to the station. The city of Baltimore is on edge as Gray's death prompted protests and riots across the city and a temporary state of emergency was put into effect. 

"I know that many of my neighbors have been following this trial closely, and many may be disappointed by today's outcome. Each of us will continue to struggle with the very raw, very real emotions the death of Mr.Freddie Gray invokes," Congressman Elijah Cummings said.

Excessive or Reasonable ?

Eric Garner was one of the people killed by the police for resisting arrest because of selling untaxed cigarettes. Everyday their is someone selling untaxed cigarettes but Eric Garner was the the one put in handcuffs for doing it. Now mind you he suffers from a number of health problems, such as heart disease, asthma, obesity and diabetes. Garner was put in a choke hold to try and get him down for his arrest, he consistently stated that couldn't breath but still they held him. He was put in a choke hold until he died. Did officers think that a choke hold would calm someone down ? It won't because they're trying to make a way for them to breath. Garners last words were "I can't breathe", which he repeated several times. He didn't even have immediate aid to try an save him. I don't what it sounds like to you but to others it sounds like an excessive arrest.

Michael Brown was also a victim killed by police. Brown recently graduate from high school before his death, he was shot two times in the head and four times in his right arm. He was unarmed and shot six times. Officer Darren Wilson (killer of Michael Brown) stopped Brown and his friend because he thought they were suspects of a robbery that occurred earlier that day. Wilson was still in the car when he made them move over to the sidewalk. Wilson claimed Brown struck him multiple times in the face.  Even if that did happen, it wasn't necessary at all for the Officer to shoot him six times in total. Thats over kill. He used excessive force to calm Brown down. Things are seriously getting out of control.
