This is beyond outrageous. The defendant asked for a judge tried case. He was convicted (evidence included that a gun and bullet were planted on the victim by the police officer) The AG should do his job or resign. It is the law. What the hell?? 🧵 kansascity.com/opinion/editor…

Outrageous

That the Missouri governor is even thinking of subverting justice for the only Kansas City police officer ever found guilty of killing a Black man is shocking. kansascity.com/opinion/editor…

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker on Tuesday made public a letter urging Missouri Gov. Mike Parson not to pardon a former Kansas City police detective who was convicted of killing a Black man. Story via Glenn E. Rice and Bill Lukitsch kansascity.com/news/local/cri…

BREAKING: Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker says Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is considering a pardon for Eric DeValkenaere, the only white police officer ever convicted in KC for shooting a Black man.

A pardon here would be outrageously unjust.

An appeals court judge allowed the Jackson County prosecutor to file an amicus brief Friday in the appeal of former KCPD Det. Eric DeValkenaere’s conviction for killing Cameron Lamb: kshb.com/news/crime/jac…

A shameful one.

Just when I think it can’t get any worse. The AG in Mo filed a embarrassing pretend brief to REVERSE a conviction. An unarmed black man was shot by a police officer, they staged the scene to plant a gun …he was convicted by judge(his request for judge trial). 🧵

Thx The Kansas City Star for quoting our @DRVPHOWARDJR: “Cameron Lamb’s human, civil rights are being betrayed.” Missouri AG seeks to throw out Kansas City cop’s conviction in killing of Black man kansascity.com/news/local/art…

Preach!

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the KCFD over allegations of racial discrimination within the fire department, according to The Star. Black firefighters were interviewed about racism and their complaints of a hostile work environment at the department.

68 years ago today (8 years to the day before the #MarchOnWashington and my father’s #IHaveADream speech), #EmmettTill was tortured and murdered in a brutal act of white supremacist terrorism. The horrific murder of Emmett Till further galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. #MLK

Looking forward to seeing the community at the MLK Interfaith Service, hosted by SCLC-GKC and The Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council on Sunday, January 7, 2024 -3PM at Community Christian Church, 4601 Main St.,KCMO 64112!
