Last
week that was a vigil in Brooklyn, NY for 16 year old Kimani Gray who
was fired upon 11 times and killed by two undercover NYPD police men. To
date, there have been "no charges" against either of these officers,
despite the fact both have a history of abuse, excessive force and
planting false evidence on innocent victims. The city avoided the
prosecution of these officers, by paying their victims
to avoid going to trial. So they remained on the force as undercover
police and while working in that capacity, killed 16 year old Kimani
Gray. Vigils have been held nearly every week since his murder. The
family, community and their supporters are watching and waiting for
justice to be served, without any clear indication they intend to do
anything against these officers, despite their known "history" of
violence and abuse against innocent people. The city and those whom
they've hired to insure the criminal prosecution of those who "break the
law" have made great exceptions to the rule when it comes to their
officers. And they are not alone. For across the board, we see the same
scenario repeated over and over again; the justification of officers who
commit outright "murder". It is the reason behind demanding "National
Action Against Police Brutality". No help exists "down in the
valley"...so to "the mountain"
