From Grief to Action: #JusticeForJaahnavi Means Solidarity Against Expanding Failed Public Safety Strategies

We must steel ourselves against the fake “solutions” that local leaders will no doubt offer in the coming weeks.

The Stranger
Officers in the #CharleenaLyles case had a previous encounter with her 2 weeks ago. They were aware that shes mentally unstable when arriving to the scene. They knew who's house they were going to when they got this call. These murderers had a mission, they deserve to die.

Yesterday seattle police killed black woman, Charleena Lyles, after she called reporting someone breaking into her home. She was gunned down by the police in front of her three children. Immediately after the officers involved were put on paid leave.
