Justice for Dijon KizzeeOn August 31st, 2020, Dijon was riding a bike when he was stopped for an unspecified “bicycle code violation.” Dijon tried to run away on foot while carrying a bundle of clothes and was ultimately shot multiple times by police after allegedly punching a deputy in his escape. A gun reportedly fell out of the bundle of clothing Dijon dropped. There are varying accounts of the timeline of the incident: the Los Angeles Times reported that police said Dijon punched the deputy after a short chase, and dropped the bundle of clothes in the process; an Open Source Intelligence article reports that Dijon panicked and punched a deputy before running away, and dropped the bundle of clothes while running. Police claim the shooting was justified because Dijon was carrying a gun, but at no point did Dijon ever try to use it. Given that he had just dropped the gun among a pile of clothes, he was unarmed when he was shot.Learn more about this caseSend emails to local officialsSign petition -- source link
