In case you were wondering why our local media is attacking DA Price & disseminating racist propaganda… she’s following through on her promises to hold EVERYONE accountable, including the corrupt powers that be & their occupying paramilitary force.

At this point, sadly is this even a surprise! When uncovered we’ve seen the same sort racist texts in PD across America…the FBI already declared 10 years ago the PD is infiltrated/infected by racist cops

California-based lawyer Adanté Pointer said "it is not simply a white versus black issue, but instead that this is a power dynamic that plays itself out no matter the race of the police officers," he told the BBC.

After several Fremont police officers shot and killed Mondragon, the head of the Fremont police officers’ union—one of the cops who shot the teen—contributed $10k in union money to DA O’Malley’s re-election campaign. O’Malley declined to charge the officers. twitter.com/josephgeha16/s…

We MUST continue to press forward with prosecuting and exposing these cases. If the general public knew what officers do everyday in their name, there would be outrage!

Glad to see it looks like SJPD will do right by my client. He is a hero and should be treated as such! He disarmed a man that was threatening folks. He didn’t deserve to be shot. PERIOD

Lawyers representing the six officers who fired 55 times at Willie McCoy requested interviews with those officers only be audio recorded. We at
@thevallejosun
got those tapes. As
@AdanteEsq
says, they weren't rigorous questioning as expected following a homicide.

The more things change the more they stay the same… SMH reminds me of the Crim trial for killing Oscar Grant. Judge snatched victory out of the jaws of justice. This judge cried for the killer cop and had NO tears for the victim or his family! 🤬
