Show up at the presser 1pm Monday 4/15 at City Hall and 5pm Tuesday 4/16 at Foley Square as we unite in honor of #KawaskiTrawick and show this city we will not stand down!
Cops routinely escalate crises when they show up. In the case of #KawaskiTrawick , he wasn't in crisis when NYPD came - he was minding his business, cooking in his own home.
Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis literally created a crisis & killed Kawaski in 112 seconds.
.Mayor Eric Adams & Edward A. Caban failed New York City, Kawaski Trawick, and his family and we must stand up! Join us on Monday 1pm at City Hall and Tuesday at 5pm at Foley Square.
Cops should be fired when they engage in transphobic BS.
And it's WILD that the only time NYPD get fired is when their supervisor/higher-ups feel disrespected.
Kill a man in his own home after u break in while he's making dinner? Nope cops won't get fired. #KawaskiTrawick
Everyone who followed this case saw the NYPD’s delays, deception and cowardly coverups. Long after Mayor Eric Adams is gone, taxpayers will likely pay millions to the heartbroken family he refused to meet with.

Our Organizing Dir Jawanza James Williams | He, Him| 🌹 spoke with Spectrum News NY1 following NYPD Commissioner Caban’s calculated late evening announcement refusing to #FireThompsonAndDavis for the 2019 killing of #KawaskiTrawick .
Were it not for leadership of orgs like Justice Committee NYPD corruption goes unchecked.
NEW: Statement from the BLAC Executive Board on Edward A. Caban's decision not to discipline officers in the killing of Kawaski Trawick.
'It's a shameful outcome from a broken system employed by multiple mayors and commissioners to shield law enforcement from accountability.'
Kawaski Trawick should be alive today. Nearing the five year mark of his death, the NYPD has decided to divert from delivering accountability and serve no disciplinary action to the officers responsible for his killing.

Having been in space with #KawaskiTrawick 's family in the campaign for the most basic deliverance of justice: #FireThompsonAndDavis ; I can't imagine the stress and dismay they're feeling right now.
Black people for over 500 years can't seem to get justice in this country.
STATEMENT: In response to Edward A. Caban’s decision not to fire the NYPD Officers who killed #KawaskiTrawick , a Black gay community member in his own home, our youth member Quasie Melendez said:
“I see cops everywhere I go - from the train station to my school - and am furious knowing…
The NYPD killed #KawaskiTrawick in 2019, Sunday will make 5 years. And Mayor Eric Adams’s Commissioner Caban made the decision not to #FireThompsonAndDavis despite the fact they killed him & broke multiple NYPD protocols.
And they did this days before the anniversary, INSULTING his fam
