When Will the Killings Stop? Calls for Justice as Tamir Rice Joins List of Unpunished Police Deaths

Описание: Democracynow.org - Tamir Rice was the youngest victim in a series of well-known cases of police killings of unarmed African Americans—and the latest whose death led to no charges against the officers involved. "There needs to be a complete recall of the distribution of resources that provide police the opportunity to continue to wreak havoc in the lives of black individuals," says Elle Hearns, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Cleveland. "This cannot consistently be where we are—week after week, month after month, year after year—with no accountability for these officers, no accountability by the city officials, no accountability by the federal government."
