revolutionarykoolaid:No Justice, No Peace (10/20/15): Early Sunday morning, Corey Jones was killed by a plainclothes police officer while waiting for roadside assistance for his flat tire. Corey was a church drummer, returning home from a gig. He was also a community mentor, an assistant manager for the local housing authority, and a local member of President Obama’s My Brother’s Program. To call Corey a model citizen would be an understatement. Yet the officer accused him of pulling a gun on him immediately after he declared himself as “police.” This story, while far too common, hits close to home. One of my coworkers is a lifelong friend of Corey and previously worked with him on numerous community initiatives. Literally no one believes the lies being told about Corey Jones. (Real talk, for the police union to concede that a department is not being transparent in an investigation means that there’s some real foul shit at play. Like you can prove that an officer planted a weapon on a victim-type shit.) Pray for his family and friends, and the countless lives he touched. Our fight for justice for Corey, and all stolen lives by police violence, has only just begun. #staywoke #farfromover -- source link
