18 yr old Ramarley Graham was shot and killed by NYPD in his granmothers bathroom in front of his 6 yr old brother in the bronx on a thursday afternoon. NYPD thought he was reaching for a weapon and persue to chase and apprehend him, but instead he was unarmed and they killed him on a opinion instead based upon a fact. The police claimed Graham had a struggle with one of the cops, but it really shows that there was no struggle and the cop shot him for no reason. Crimes like these are happening everyday and nothing is being done to stop or prevent this. We need justice and now, these cops need to be convicted and prosecuted just like regular criminals. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/03/nyregion/unarmed-teenager-fatally-shot-by-officer-chasing-him.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/23/family-of-ramarley-graham-killed-nypd-rallies-bronx-photos_n_1375281.html
Rodney King was driving down the a California interstate with 3 of his friends when cops pulled him over for speeding. The cops did a drug test to see how intoxicated he was. The reports said his alcohol level was 3 times over the legal limit. The cops then used forced to detain Rodney, saying he kept resisting but in the video it shows the cops are the attackers and they're the ones in the wrong. They beat and harass king for over an hour without any intent to stop. The results of this led to King pressing charges against the L.A.P.D for assault and racial crimes.The cops were pleaded not guilty which made alot of blacks upset and causing them to start a 4 day riot in the Los Angeles community.
