This isn't an isolated incident. A month after the NYPD decided not to punish the cops who killed Richards, NYPD officers murdered #KawaskiTrawick in his Bronx apartment:

The officers lied about it, suppressed release of the bodycam footage that would reveal their lies, and then escaped any justice when the footage and the lies were revealed.

It Wasn’t the First Time the #NYPD #murdered #Someone in #Crisis. For #KawaskiTrawick, It Only Took 112 Seconds.

Trawick was alone in his apartment when an #officer pushed open the door. He was holding a #breadknife and a #stick. “Why are you in my #home?” he asked. He never got an answer.
