Wayne County Circuit Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against the Detroit police officer accused in the 2010 fatal shooting of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones, reports the Detroit Free Press.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Officer Joseph Weekley failed to follow his training when he stormed a house looking for a murder suspect with his finger on the trigger and shot Aiyana who was asleep on the couch, according to prosecutors.
All sides acknowledge that Aiyana Stanley-Jones’ death was not intentional. But prosecutors say Officer Joseph Weekley’s actions were a crime because he handled his submachine gun in a reckless manner.
“You have to use ordinary care in the exercise of your duties,” prosecutor Rob Moran said. “He didn’t follow ordinary care. … If he didn’t pull the trigger, Aiyana would be alive.”
Here’s the opportunity to prove that black girls lives matter as much as black boys lives.
Where is the national movement against this judge who dropped the charges against the cop who killed seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones as she lay on a couch in her home? Where is the demand from the people that the cop be locked up?
A cop who was frontin’ for the cameras of the reality series that was being filmed at the time, who was all gassed up on that “Look at me! I’m a cop on TV” shit and wound up killing our baby girl.
They charged him with some bullshit-ass, slap-on-the-wrist “involuntary manslaughter” and not even that shit could stick.
Baby girl is dead.
And there’s not a whisper or a tear.
I don’t believe it when people say they love black girls.
I have zero evidence of that assertion.
(H/T Kristen M. Muldrow)holy FUCKING SHIT
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
A COP KILLS A 7 YEAR OLD LITTLE CHILD WHO WAS SLEEPING ON A FUCKING COUCH
AND DOESN’T EVEN GET INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

[DECEMBER 4, 2014] Police were investigating the death of a 21-year-old transgender woman who was gunned down while pounding on the front door of a Compton home seeking help.
Deshawnda Sanchez was shot around 4 a.m. Wednesday on the porch of a home near Wilton Place and 62nd Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“She was definitely at that door pounding on that door seeking help,” LAPD Detective Christopher Barling said.
The occupant of the home came outside after hearing multiple gunshots but it was too late.
A neighbor’s surveillance camera captured part of the incident. Police were not releasing the video which apparently showed someone pulling up to the house in a vehicle, getting out and running up to the porch. The figure could then be seen running back to the vehicle and driving away, police said.
“The footage, it was heartbreaking,” said Diana Williams, the victim’s sister
Detectives believe Sanchez was running away from a robber when she was shot, but said they were not ruling anything out.
“Deshawnda is a transgender female. At this point we cannot say it’s a hate crime but we have not ruled out that as being a possibility,” Barling said. [source]
This is so tragic. My heart goes out to her and those she loved. I hope Deshawnda gets the justice she deserves. #TransLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter

The TIME is NOW : Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth
The jurisprudence which articulates the nationhood of Indigenous Peoples is also is a projection of jurisdiction at the planetary level, with mutual responsibilities towards the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth, and the well being of the Future Generations. The distinction being that our Rights of Nationhood emerge from the COGNITION, and then thus RECOGNITION, of our responsibilities as ONE of the Nations (two legged species of kindom) – among ALL of the RELATIONS to whom and with we share as human society collectively, the responsibility to act in complementarity within the equally shared environment of the Natural World. We are Nations of Mother Earth, and will not consent to be diminished or to be dominated under the regime of the government states of the UN system as mere ethnic groups, or minorities.

White Police Officer Kills Another Unarmed Black Man, Father of Four
December 4th, 2014
A father of four was killed Tuesday night while returning home with food for his children.
The incident left an unidentified white officer unharmed and unarmed Rumain Brisbon, 34, dead with two bullet wounds in his torso at a north Phoenix apartment complex.
According to Phoenix police, the officer was responding to a suspected drug deal when he came in contact with Rumain. The driver, later identified as Rumain, exited his car and seemed to remove something from the rear of the SUV.
Brandon Dickerson, who was in the car with Brisbon shortly before the shooting and witnessed some of the incident, said he never saw the officer try to talk with Brisbon.
Still, the officer drew his gun and pointed it at Brisbon, causing him to flee from fear. The officer chased him on foot and ‘a struggle ensued’ when he caught up.
“During the struggle, Brisbon put his left hand in his pocket and the officer grabbed onto the suspect’s hand, while repeatedly telling the suspect to keep his hand in his pocket,“ he said. ”The officer believed he felt the handle of a gun while holding the suspect’s hand in his pocket.”
A woman inside an apartment opened a door at that moment, and the officer and Brisbon tumbled inside, Crump said. Two children, ages 9 and 2, were in their bedroom. The officer then shot Rumain twice in the torso.
The item in Brisbon’s pocket turned out to be prescribed pills.
The media smear campaign has already begun. Brisbon was previously convicted for a burglary that occurred in 1998 and spent 5 years on probation. Although this has nothing to do with the shooting, the media is working hard to slander Rumain’s name.
Defend him and all POC mercilessly killed by racist police.
